By David Swanson Former Republican Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee on Tuesday evening called George W. Bush the worst president in U.S. history and the occupation of Iraq the worst foreign tragedy in U.S. history. Chafee said Bush deserved to be impeached. Chafee served in the U.S. Senate from 1999 to 2006 and credits his defeat in 2006 - as do most analysts - to his...

I was just reading some more of Lincoln Chafee's fascinating book, Against The Tide , the chapter about how the Senate dealt with environmental issues in light of Cheney's success in persuading Bush-- if it took much, or even any persuasion-- to do a 180 on his campaign promises to be an environmentally friendly president. When Cheney announced to a gathering of Republican senators that...

(MT): 39 Rick Santorum (PA): 39 Mike DeWine (OH): 48 Jim Talent (MO): 48 George Allen (VA): 49 Lincoln Chafee (RI): 52 Instead of these six (sorry Linc) Bush rubber stamps, we now have Senators Tester, Casey, Brown, McCaskill, Webb, and Whitehouse. The polling date from Rasmussen indicates that in January we will be rid of one Senator Smith and will instead be thanking our lucky stars...

Barack Obama and the Democratic party represent the views of millions of mainstream Americans, including plenty of independents and--gasp!--Republicans. The fact that GOP scions including Susan Eisenhower, Lincoln Chafee, and Julie Nixon Eisenhower are on Team Obama is proof of this. Barack and the Democrats are centrists. Not radical leftists.

By David Swanson The Republican Party as a national mainstream organization began with Abraham Lincoln and ended with Lincoln Chafee. Before and after those Lincolns, the party was not something that most Americans could relate to, was not something that many people could imagine offered any sort of benefit to all people as opposed to particular types of people. Former...

... immunity for any Bush Regime cronies for any criminal behavior. This evening I picked up Senator Lincoln Chafee's book again-- Against The Tide-- How A Compliant Congress Empowered A Reckless President -- and I was reminded how very little ever changes. "When Senator Jeffords quit the Republican Party and threw control of the Senate back to the Democrats," writes Chafee (a...

... of the electorate - no pun intended. Irrespective of where McCain and former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee were in the 2003 debate (and vote), McCain is unambiguously clear now that raising these tax rates in a declining economy would exacerbate the incipient states of stagflation we are facing today. McCain understands intuitively, as well as intellectually, that capital gains...

Lincoln Chafee: On Inauguration Day, January 20, 2001, President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney went to work. The centerpiece of their agenda was an unprecedented $1.6 trillion tax cut that took Congress by surprise. The magnitude of the cut caught even House Speaker Dennis Hastert off balance. That may have accounted for his candor, at a December 14, 2000, press conference,...

Brown University's alumni magazine recently published an essay written by former Senator Lincoln Chafee (the essay was excerpted from his new book, Against the Tide ). In it, he recounts the events that led up to the passage of the Bush tax cuts. When you read it, you immediately recognize how bizarre Chafee's perspective was. For instance, he brags about the fact that two Democrats...

A Qwest engineer explained to me that robotic phone banks have to be programmed to hang up when you hang up. Otherwise, if you hang up for at least 30 seconds, it will usually hang up. However, my experience with this Obama call from Sen. Lincoln Chafee would not hang up after one minute of being hung up. Can't hang up I recently started receiving unsolicited prerecorded robotic calls...
