Jobs are essential. Massive job losses in Maine and the United States are being driven away by huge taxes and unreasonable regulations.
The country is broke. Welfare needs reform now, before it’s too late. Citizens need to stop the government takeover of their lives by voting out the failed incumbents and putting in new representation with some common sense.
Voters should send Paul LePage to Augusta to create a less-taxed and less-regulated state, attracting big and small businesses, making Maine the best place to work and live.
Mike Michaud has been a rubber stamp for the radical ideas of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama. He’s been in Washington so long that he thinks he owns the position.
Jason Levesque should go to Washington and help stop the radical spending, and give control of the government back to the legal citizens of the United States.

Republicans REVILE the Founding Fathers
Our "founding fathers" didn't have a system of taking from the majority to enrich the minority, a communism for the wealthy, in mind when they conceived of "freedom." You might want to rethink your definition of "freedom." Allowing thevish insurance companies and corporations to drive Americans into the ground and destroy American prosperity merely to consolidate their wealth (the smallest minority of wealthy now control the greatest percentage of American wealth since the Gilded Age, thanks to George W. Bush and Republicans) doesn't have anything to do with founding principles and "freedom," quite the opposite, you're actually supporting a return to the very system of a wealthy ruling class that the founding fathers were trying to escape!

Voisine, the Founding Fathers didn't have ANY welfare systems when they set up our government. So, why should we have them now? BTW, posting the same thing twice in one LTTE thread here is pitiful, at best.

Gil,
Check above. FACTS DO NOT LIE and the FACT is that Republicans devastated American jobs and Obama and Democrats have been posting success after success. Of course, you don't process reality so it's all wasted on someone like you. It's why you're a Republican. If you wanted reality instead of your brave, ignorant right wing fantasies, you wouldn't be a Republican.

Republicans are bitterly complaining about joblessness under the Obama administration even though the Democrats and the White House helped to create more private sector jobs than Bush did in EIGHT YEARS

Republicans have stated that Democrats increased the deficit, when the fact is that the Obama administration and Democrats cut the deficit by $122 BILLION after the Bush budget of 2009!
http://www.bobcesca.com/blog-archives/2010/10/president_democ.html
President Obama’s reduction of the deficit by $122 BILLION is the largest one year reducation of the federal deficit ever!

Republicans tried to characterize the stimulus as a failure even though it created AT LEAST 1.4 million new jobs!

Republicans are saying Obama raised taxes, when the Obama administration passed the largest middle class tax cut in American history

An informed American electorate doesn’t elect Republicans. Period.

The messiah really "create(d) more private sector jobs than Bush did in EIGHT YEARS" - I don't think so. First you have to back up that claim, and you cite as your reference, wait for it, the great and all knowing "Bob", and his blog. Great reference. Really, you could have googled that and come up with something better than Bob's blog. Aside from the fact that it is a lie. My reference? How about Bureau of Labor Statistics, look it up. Using that as a reference, the messiah actually LOST almost 3 MILLION jobs! As the first part of your ridiculous reply is moot, the rest is considered so also. Really Visine, do your own research instead of cutting and pasting from "Bob's Blog".

I'm not hereto do the research for you. If foolish lazy libs can't be bothered to look something up, then I am not going to help them. I used the BLS site (Bureau of Labor Statitistics) to find numbers to dispute the "Bob's Blog" reference that your chump friend used. Go there, read, find.

Snowe and Collins that their time is limited. Enough of these two RINO's, let 'em know we are tired of them acting in their own interest an that they can, and should be replaced when their time is up.

Yes, I agree with you, let's get two real conservatives in there who will vote against Obama's socialist agenda.
