which includes Tort Reform, Interstate competition among insurers,and
give Congress the same choices as the American people, not their own special HC.
Most polls I've seen over the previous 60 months were all around 50:50 +/- 5%.

The irony is that to the things people want they have to swallow the things they don't.

I started to write a thought out response BW, but really, you just end up sounding like the guy below.

I made my arguments before in earlier threads, and you just retalliate with wishing us all (35% of the state) to die. I'm sorry you feel that this election will cost you your job. I sincerly don't believe it and wish you well. I stated before out of Linc, Caprio and Robattaie, I felt Chaffee was the best one to move our state forward. good luck.

Spence - A popular CNN poll, during the HC melee, was 66% not in favor IIRC.

Guys lighten up on the why we should die arguments please

Rock, Bush I can understand. What was wrong with Carcieri?

When the opinion is a little to out of the box and doesn't meet today's politically correct standard it gets deleted.So be it.I expected my opinion to be censored,its standard practice.

Sorry Rock but 64% of us say you're wrong.And its your type destroying this state and this country.Don't wish me luck...my luck ran out when you wasted your vote on Stinc and put good honest hard working people like me into a deeper hole.

JohnR maybe its time to get rid of this section?Its a fishing website not a political site.You asked for this kind of stuff by allowing it in the first place.If some here are afraid to hear what many of us feel then maybe its time to lay this section to rest?

BW - that would be something akin to censorship, something I don't support. So where you said "anyone voting for Stinc should die a slow death" could have been effectively stated in another way and would not have gotten edited out. Besides, we moved Political stuff into its own forum with all the normal disclaimers.

Just because Chafee has no class doesn't mean we must have no class, right? Don't you agree ?

I didn't vote for him either and while I'm happy to debate on the merits of Linc or not, I think we should attempt, try, to stay a little bit above the frey.
