This is in response to the letter from Dick Brooks, printed June 16, in which he felt Republican candidate Paul LePage wasn't qualified to be governor.
Brooks doesn't like a smart and honest man for governor?
LePage would be a governor for all the people.

paul lepage
I really think that the great unknown facing the Voters this fall is How large of margin does Paul lepage win by? Also what is so wrong with teaching Creationism? I thought this was America where we have a Choice. Where we have freedom of expression. Who really cares what the Dick brooks of the World think anyway.? I understand that Mr Brooks is a registered Meduim' that should say it all.
Finally Mainers have an French speaking Candidate for Governor. Make no mistake about it Paul lepage is the complete reverse of Mike Michaud. In fact it would be a great thing if Jason levesque could throw that Poser Michaud out of Office, He has more aptitude than Herr Michaud has ever had.
Now Tron would you please come up with something more original for a change. Have you ever met paul lepage? I would doubt it. I would urge Tron to attend the Fundraiser at Gippers and visit with the Honorable Stavros mendros?
So this is where we are Libby Mitchell is lining up the usual useless endorsements. Eliot Cutler is talking about Trade missions to China and Paul lepage is Talking Turkey. that is the loanguage that sensible mainers can understand. Unlike Les otten who foolishly thought the Election was about Jobs. No way El Lester. It's all about getting the Government out of our Tent. to much Nosing around..Also I will be at the Nateva show on saturday to see the Drive By truckers Join me.

The word, creationist, is your arguement, xyz? Wow...brilliant! It's funny, but that word doesn't put money in my pocket, food on my table, or good jobs in Maine. Who is more likely to help me with that? A successful business owner, or some old lady? I'll put my stock in the business owner, for now. I'm kind of an intelligent design person, but I'll be the first to admit that we really have no clue why we are here or how we got here. Did we come from monkies or from God? Now you tell me that one of those theories sounds more mentally sound than the other.

No that about covers it. Don't believe me, just do a little research on what these nut-cases believe in and you will see.
They are about as loony as they come.

is that when the Republicans blame everything on Obama and Clinton before him none of it was true. When we blame Bush we have the documentation to prove he was responsible. For example, MMS regulated no one because Bush didn't want them to. What's' the proof. One of Bush's first appointments was a Harvard Professor to head up OMB. The Professor ran a company that provided risk management i.e biased reports showing why it was always better to deregulate. First, thing he does is issue a order that any new regulations must be cost justified and retire two existing regulations. MMS stopped regulating and started taking bribes.

Things are so bad for republicans since the great Reagan, Nixon, Bush and don't forget the hyper brilliant W that Republicans are crossing over to the other parties and claiming to be democrats or independants. Does not matter to republicans the leaders are only puppets, actors and or token figures for the great industrial military comlex and Giant Corporations. There are no more Democrats. Jimmy Carter was the last one and he was too honest to survive/thrive with all the kooks, perverts, theifs, liars, actors, idiots, blowviators, rich kids, and the subjective religelous. 4 more years of Bush and you really think Baldacci should be to blame for that with two Republicans Collins and Snowe I fail to see the democratic control in Maine even if Baldacci was one.

LePage can fix anything you betcha he is republican ya know. We neeeed another one just like people need to stop blaming Bush. You know he just needed 4 more years and he could have pulled off his mission. Bush frequently stated "I know exactly where I want to lead this nation" and he seems happy with his performance as do his follower, hence:"four more years" was their call. Just imagine if he could have ran again. Four more years he would have done it, he came close...... Keep voting in republicans were almost there, rock bottom. Cant see it from your house! Vote LePageits keep your eye peeled.

Yeah, it sure is convenient for the Libs to blame everything on Bush. I wish I never had to take responsibility for anything.

ajg1959, I fail to see where I stated the LePage was the author of the comment. I just said that I like it, because it is so true.
By the way, how long have the Democrats controlled Maine. Is it 30, 35 years. Kind of hard to blame it on Bush. ;-)

What my choices in November?
LePage: An honest man who worked his way to where he is today. A businessman, a successful one at that. Mayor of Waterville with a proven track record.
Libby Mitchell: A 70 year old attorney who has her fingerprints all over Maine's failures. Anti business, pro tax and spend.
Elliot Cutler: Does a lot of lawyering in China and DC. A country with a poor human rights record for exploiting people. Worked for Jimmy Carter. Enoughh said.
Shawn Moody" Well, Shawn is Shawn. He should stick to what he is good at. Fixing cars.

I withdrew my real name after some of the gentle, concerned folks on this forum started pestering me on the telephone. I couldn't care less who you are in real life. Your forum personality is pitiful enough.

I don't believe it. There is recourse for that - and you could have dealt with that.
Just another troll unwilling to take personal responsibility.

I answered the phone - that's letting someone 'harass' me? Fortunately, the caller was just as stupid on the phone as he is here. I hung up, glanced at Caller ID, called back and said: Call me again, you schmuck, and I'll hand the matter to the cops. End of problem. That's when I yanked my real name. Who knows what you room-temperature-IQ jerks might try next - you are so easily amused. That's what I call taking personal responsibility - and I didn't even expect a government to do it for me.

So you simply don't want to sign your name to the crap you imagine might happen.... Yet you compose it irregardless.

Frostie-Flakes? And you signed your name, online or off, to that. I'll have to lower by several degrees my estimate of your IQ. How does your real name, Ronnie, add even one ounce of legitimacy to the moronic drivel you post? It doesn't, no matter how fascinated you are with your own life and times. I admit I don't have a plan for the ages - you can't admit that you don't have a plan for the next 20 minutes - except to hope that a nurse shows up soon with your next dose and a change of Depends.
