Might want to rethink your tax proposals so that they don't include "equipment for the disabled" and "equipment for amputee veterans."  Amputee veterans?  Were there no kittens around  to tax?

Everytime I give this creep a second chance, he does something stupid like this. I hope its a simple error and not a serious plan for what he wants to do.

Remember the Club for Growth ad from 2006, "Lincoln Chafee has never met a tax increase he didn't like".

It's pretty serious and his campaign website hasn't changed so that "school meals"  etc. are no longer on his list of things to remove their tax exempt status for.

That's one of the most tone-deaf proposals I've ever seen and Lunar's a fine man for helping to bring this to the nation's attention.

Thats my last straw with this nut. I am dropping my endorsement of him for Governor. Why all the rino lubbers love him, I have no clue, the guy has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I said that guy was nothing like his father and I was right, his father had principles, Lincoln is just an a-hole.

What does "120 total days total loss or destruction" mean, as an item that could be (but currently is not) taxed?

Is that an endorsement or an insult?

Considering the poster, probably both.

We need someone principled, not a panderer. It's an endorsement.

Wow, Lincoln Chafee's team seems really startled, the morning after a big debate they release this?

That's also a pretty sh*tty site for one of the main candidates for governor also.

Ha ha, nice catch, Lunar!

I don't see it being an issue, though.  Whatever.

Linc is a dumb. Get used to it. A decent man, who is honest and means well, but a dumb. The Chafee line is regressing to the mean, along with the Kennedy line. It is just genetics. The same thing happened to the Tafts.
