and she’s really really conservative and a real Republican unlike Chafee who was a RINO so yes there are some, very very few I imagine. I always say, you know out there somewhere there is a hardcore conservative Republican in any city or state you can think of including San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont (about 15 of them) we just don’t ever hear about it because of course, they are the minority.

I am glad he’s running for Gov. if its enough to swing the election in favor of a real Republican (i.e a conservative) I’d be all for it, although I am not sure how that is supposed to happen in RI.

3 of the last four Gov’s of RI have been Republicans including the current one. I’ve also heard that people like Republican Gov’s in NE states (Connecticut has a Republican Gov) and look at when Romney was in office, because they like them to control money responsibly and they have the historical reputation of doing it better.

Of course, being a Republican there is different from being one in Alabama for example.

If you consider the meaning of the term “progressive,” I can’t think of a better description of what we SHOULD be standing for.

We aren’t the ones who want to send people back to the stone ages. We aren’t seeking to take away cars, electricity, and running water. We aren’t the ones seeking to stifle the growth of businesses, free enterprise, and innovation. We are the ones who want to acknowledge the science and equal value at the beginning of human life. Rather than ration health care to the cheapest options, we want more doctors who are best able to treat each patient and develop new ways to heal (rather than new ways to harm).
