Caprio faces Lincoln Chafee, an independent and former Republican senator who backed Obama for president in 2008, and Republican John Robitaille.Regardless of one's political viewpoint, "shove it" is not the mature, professional response this Democrat would exect from a gentlman running for State Governor, albiet Rhode Island. While Mr. Caprio has certainly succeded in grabbing the political spotlight, he has done so at the unfortunate expense of representing himself well. (What is his platform? I seemed to have missed that.)

However, he does not respect the American people. He does what he wants, when he wants and however he wants. He rammed through HealthCare, bailouts and financial reform. If anyone has paid attention to his latest rantings he has called the people who vote against his party and his agenda "enemies". He won't even call people we are at war with enemies but he has no problem calling Americans enemies because they disagree with him. The people that disagree are Democrats, Republican, Independents and others. So, this man does not deserve the respect you think he does, the Office of the President deserves the respect but not the man. He hasn't earned the respect of the American people.

October 26 2010 at 6:56 AM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyIf 'change' (your quotes) means a move toward socialism, that would beg the question of what you mean by socialism, Suzanne. Are you refering to democratic socialism, a.k.a. regulated capitalism? Also, do you really believe a political figure should govern with a hidden agenda rather than the transparancy which I so value in our President?
October 27 2010 at 10:37 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyI am going to use this article to discuss something else. Can anyone tell me where the outcry is over our military not getting their voting ballots on time. Has anyone noticed that there is no mention of this anywhere here or in much of the lame stream news media. There is however in the state of Maine a ballot initiative that will allow illegal aliens the right to vote. What the hell is going on in America?
October 26 2010 at 6:54 AM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyActually this article didn't print the whole comment. I live in Rhode Island and this has been all over the news. Caprio first stated that he didn't ask for Obama's endorsement or needed it than he said he could shove it. Obama just doesn't want to pick sides. He's flying all around the country trying to win over democrats but he comes to my state and won't even endorse our democrat. Please. It's all because Chafee is a friend and Obama can't save face with democrats if he endorsed an independent. I don't like Chafee and I don't like his ideas on raising taxes on almost everything. Hopefully this will sway some people who are not really liking Obama to vote for Caprio.

October 27 2010 at 9:12 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyI wonder if Mr. Caprio actually called the "president" before going all " Gillmore Girls" on the guy; This White House needs to go prison break on some of these politicians. You know, pick the biggest bad-ass in the yard, and do a "No.6"; kick the living out of everything breathing! Grow up, Governor wannna-be. Always speak to the "true source" before reacting. This aged of technology and reality shows are making cryers out of men, aggressive drones out of women, and sociopaths out of our kids. We really need to get a grip!
