On Nov. 2, I will vote for real change for Maine and our nation.
It's time to replace the same-old with someone new and refreshing for our representative in Congress. Jason Levesque is who we need to bring real change in Washington.
America is off the tracks right now. Re-electing Mike Michaud would not help us get back on track, but might help the left drive America off the cliff.
Mainers didn't send Michaud to Washington to be in the pocket of the far-left liberal movement. We sent him to represent us with making independent decisions for all of us. His vote on the stimulus pork bill and unpopular make-believe health care reform bill prove that he is unfit to represent his constituents here in Maine.
We must send the jokers who are running our nation a message on Nov. 2 by electing someone new and refreshing.

My vote's going to Mike
My vote's going to Mike Michaud because he works hard for Maine. Though after reading the pathetic rants from the left on here I am beginning to second guess the wisdom of that decision.

the vast majority of Americans that will go to the polls in November recall history more accurately than Cranky Yankee. Sorry CY, Michaud has proven over and over that he votes exactly as Pelosi tells him. We could save a lot of money by just allowing Pelosi to vote for Maine's second district. It's essentially like having Mike Michaud vote.
I really got a laugh out of the interest and unemployment stats from the first 18 months of Reagan's first term. Even the greatest president of the last century couldn't dig out of Jimmy Carter's economic trifecta overnight. I was studying economics in college at that time. Our textbooks said it was not possible to achieve double digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment at the same time. As we read that text, that was exactly what Carter had wrought.

He'll change it back to the policies that got us into this mess in the first place, and policies that put government in charge of places where it does not belong. Too bad the Republicans have co-opted the message of smaller government, because their policies are the most intrusive of anyone's. Why should you care who I marry?

He'll just add to the chorus of Republican morons who know nothing about how to govern other than the answer to everything is cut taxes for the wealthiest.
Voting for Levesque, who is a teabangelical, will do no one in our district a bit of good.

I am so sick and tired of hearing how the Democrats are "driving America off a cliff" and "bankrupting our country." Where were these so-called concerned fiscal conservatives when a Democratic president and congress managed to build up a budget surplus? More importantly, where were these concerned fiscal conservatives when a "conservative" Republican president, aided and abetted by a Republican congress took that budget surplus and turned it into a record DEFICIT! These same fiscal conservatives genuflect at the name of Ronald Reagan, but have already forgotten that under Reagan we had the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE in history (at that time). Unemployment under the first 18 months of the Reagan administration was 9.7%. In 1982, mortgage interest rates were in the neighborhood of 15-20% (I know, because I was trying to buy a house at the time and refused to pay that kind of interest. That was also when ARM (adjustable rate mortgages) were widely introduced, which caused the first wave, by 1988, of people being forced out of their homes by excessive interest increases. Reagan also passed a 5.5% gas tax, and increased taxes on trucking. He began taxing interest on dividends and eliminated consumer debt interest deductions. He increased the national debt by 183%, increased federal spending by 80%, got us involved in four international conflicts, and137 members of his administration were investigated for crimes with most being convicted.
The Republicans have been steering the ship EVERY time we gone into a recession, including the Great Depression, since the beginning of the 20th century. NO REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION HAS EVER BROUGHT THE COUNTRY OUT OF A RECESSION since the beginning of the 20th century.
Why would anyone think that it would be different this time?

Of course not. Now McConnell thinks we can keep tax cuts for the rich at a cost of $4trillion over the next decade, and pay for it with $300 billion in spending cuts. That's your GOP math right there.
