R.I. Gov. Chafee to become Democrat, run for 2nd term

[AnotherMcIntosh]

34. Please tell me more. I'm not going to buy into it because he wants to have a "(D)" after his name,

and probably wants to have a committee chairmanship.

In fact, I don't implicitly accept any belief that any or all Senators with a &quot D)" after their names represent America as a whole instead of the rich and super-rich.

As noted in Wikipedia,

"Some Chafee's positions considered to be within the mainstream of the current Republican Party include his support of free trade agreements (e.g., North American Free Trade Agreement and Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA); Bankruptcy Reform; the partial privatization of Social Security; and the USA Patriot Act."

Do you have something other than insults ("do some frickin' research before you comment.&quot to support any belief that he is ready to support ordinary Americans instead of the super-rich?

1. The super-rich have benefited while our country has been harmed by the let's-send-manufacturing-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreements.

2. The super-rich have benefited while our country has been harmed by the Bankruptcy Reform Act which now precludes crushing student-loan debts from being discharged in bankruptcy even when former students are unemployed through no fault of their own.

3. The super-rich will benefit while our country will be harmed by a privatization or partial privatization of Social Security.

4. I can see no way in which the Patriot Act benefits our country while taking away Constitutionally protected rights.
