In her letter Oct. 6, Karen Bond asked, “Where did Paul LePage come from?”

Apparently she is unaware of LePage’s tremendous accomplishments and popularity as a mayor.

Then she expresses outrage over LePage telling an audience that they can expect him to tell the president to “go to hell.”

I am amazed at all the attention that remark has gotten. If more people in the president’s own party had told him to go to hell, maybe this nation wouldn’t be in the financial mess it is in now.

I love it when a candidate shows a little passion in speeches. It shows that he cares and is committed to what he is saying.

The best Libby Mitchell can do is imitate Nancy Pelosi with all those distracting hand gestures.

I hope LePage keeps it up. Not everyone wants the status quo. He is a breath of fresh air.
