Reason 17 to Dump Chafee
Andrew Roth
On June 21, 2006, Senator Ted Kennedy offered an amendment that would raise the minimum wage by over 40%. The proposal passed 52 - 46, thanks in part to Lincoln Chafee who broke with Republicans to vote YES.
This wasn't the first time Chafee sided with Ted Kennedy instead of Republicans, but that's for another day.
Past Reasons
Reason 18 - Chafee and Incomes Taxes
Reason 19 - Chafee's Liberal Donors
Reason 20 - Chafee a "Centrist Democrat"

Reason 18 to Dump Chafee
Andrew Roth
Senator Lincoln Chafee was the lone Republican to support a Dianne Feinstein amendment to raise the top income tax rate from 35% to 39.6% in 2004.
RINO Senators like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins weren't even willing to do that. And there were even FIVE Democrats who weren't willing to vote for it, either.
That's how liberal Chafee is.

Reason 19 to Dump Chafee
Andrew Roth
Why should Rhode Island voters dump Senator Lincoln Chafee in the September 12th GOP primary? Let us give you REASON 19 - His Liberal Friends:
Chafee has several liberal endorsements, some of which he proudly displays on his website. Organizations like:
- Sierra Club (He's the only Republican senator to garner their support)
- League of Conservation Voters
- Republican Main Street Partnership
Strangely, Chafee does not list the RINO endorsement of It's My Party Too PAC. Perhaps it's just an oversight on Chafee's part.
Also, over 20 labor unions have given ($) over $90,000 in contributions to Chafee.

20 Reasons to Dump Chafee
Andrew Roth
From now until September 12, the date of the GOP primary in Rhode Island, we're going to blog about why it's time to retire Senator Lincoln Chafee. He's going up against Steve Laffey, mayor of Cranston.
REASON #20: Chafee is the most liberal Republican in the U.S. Senate. The Boston Globe once wrote that "his liberal positions would be well-suited for a centrist Democrat."
