Running out of steam? Campaign bullwank.



I am NOT voting for Chafee. Guy is a tool. Less likely I'm voting for Caprio.

Are you saying you'd vote for Linc Chafee?This a-hole is actually running on a platform to add the sales tax to so far exempt items with the most notable being groceries.He also wants to increase the tax on gas!I guess you have money and can afford Chafee?I'm just a working class stiff who CAN'T afford him.

As far as Robataille or as you put aka Carcieri-lite,he's really the only viable candidate for gov.Before you rack Carcieri's record don't forget his entire stay as gov was with a veto proof Democratic assembly,Carcieri couldn't pass gas without the assembly's approval.

This is a classic lesson of think before you speak.So please think before you speak!And if you've really thought hard and you're still going to vote Chafee all I can say is:If god exists he needs to save us from people like you.

Everything I've thus said is on the premise that you're a Chafee man.If you are not then my apologies.

Robitaille has no experience governing. I know he was Carcieri's chauffer or something. Caprio reminded me of Raymond L.S. Patrarca with his sneer (minus the cig dangling) while he told Obama to shove it.

Chafee wants a 1% tax on food and clothing to balance the Budget.
Economically its a small fee.He also is STRONG on conservation,

BTW what have the other 2 candidates brought to the table considering their "experience"?

Excellent try but no.Increasing taxes is a no go with workers like me.I'm amazed that in this day and age anyone will accept a tax increase,we pay enough already.When is enough "enough"?

Also lets not forget the increase in the gas tax he wants.Lets not forget his acceptance of contributions from most of the unions who drive the cost of anything up,hell I live in Tiverton I just dealt with what the teachers' union did to our property taxes.Linc accepted their money too.

Conservationist my ass...he excepts the money now as he has in the past and delivers nothing.

Chafee is a horror show for this state.

Please remember the reason the budget isn't balanced certainly isn't because we don't pay enough taxes......
