Daily Kos :: Comments Tell NARAL to retract its Chafee endorsement

I know fran and it has been a big discussion (none / 0)

here. Everybody is pissed off at NARAL for endorsing Chafee. I never see the same anger at them for endorsing democrats who voted for Brown, etc....

  that in Chafee's case, there are two opponents of his who would CLEARLY be better on the issue ofo choice. I don't want to in any way excuse the unexcusable, but in most cases where Democrats vote for Brown, I'd be willing to bet that they do not have pro-choice opponents (since their opponents are Republicans).

    not fair. Sorry to be such a crank on this issue, but I have felt there was a great deal of hypocricy in the anger at NARAL. They may or may not pull their endorsement of Chafee, but I for one APPLAUD their policy of endorsing the encumbent in a non partisan manner. If that was not their policy they would be useless as an advocacy group.

      But they should at least endorse a pro-choice incumbent. How can you defend their endorsement of Lincoln Chafee when he doesn't vote the way NARAL wants him to on the most important vote for the issue?

        I just don't know what Democrats that vote for Roberts have pro-choice opponents. Tell me who they are and I'll be glad to contact NARAL.
