Post by: Wretched Excess on August 12, 2008, 02:07:48 PM
if leach and chafee are the best that The BarackStar! can do, he may as well pack it in.  hell, chafee
isn't a republican anymore, and hasn't been for years. 

this isn't unifying, this is merely picking off the slower, dumber antelopes out of the herd.

Leach, Chafee start ‘Republicans for Obama’

Former Republican Rep. Jim Leach (Iowa) and former GOP Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.) touted Barack Obama as the presidential candidate who represents the traditional conservatism that they feel has been forgotten under President Bush.

In an Obama campaign conference call Tuesday, during which Leach announced his endorsement of Sen. Obama (D-Ill.), the two former lawmakers tied presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) to Bush’s positions, particularly on the war in Iraq and spending.

Leach, who served 15 terms in the House, said that there’s real Republican concern “about the occurrence of current philosophy of government and prospect that we’ll have more of the same.”

Chafee, who served as a Republican in the Senate but has become an Independent, criticized McCain for voting against the Bush tax cuts and domestic offshore oil drilling but supporting those measures while campaigning for president.

“Seeing the two different John McCains is a fracture to his credibility,” said Chafee.

of course, the obama campaign is a little hesitatnt to point out that the last vice presidential
nominee of their party that HASN'T destroyed his career by humping a space cadet behind his
dying wife's back is currently the most vocal supporter than john mccain has . . . . .
