I have a new word to be added to the dictionary concerning the state of the country: “inbumbent,” defined as “Any elected career politician influenced by special-interest groups and PAC money who has forgotten constituents and the values of those who elected them to office.”

In the coming election and the next presidential election, I think it is time people voted out the career politicians. They have proved over and over again that they cannot run the government.

They have bumbled it and it is time people elected real businessmen and women to office — people who have kept the doors open in this Bush/Obama recession and have added jobs, or at least kept their companies in Maine and the United States.

I support Paul LePage. He speaks his mind and has gotten the job done as a mayor and a businessman.
