Mac Herrling of Orland, Maine sent this letter to the Bangor Daily News:
Our governor continues to amaze us with the vastness of his incompetence as chief executive.
He crudely undercut his marine resources commissioner by going behind his back to make deals with the fishing industry and punish perceived enemies in Portland.
His handpicked press secretary had to resign because of foreclosure problems. His environmental commissioner had to resign because of a serious conflict of interest but stayed around to lead another department.
His budget director overlooked an illegal sale of state property.
Without batting an eyelash, Republicans nearly passed a bill allowing weapons in the State House even after a first-term Republican almost shot a news photographer in Augusta. Meanwhile, the majority party passed new gun laws to allow employees to bring concealed weapons to work and public citizens to hide guns while visiting state parks.
LePage signed onto a prayer day proclamation sponsored by Texas Gov. Rick Perry without understanding its transparent political intent. Apparently, our governor didn’t pay attention in history class. This day of prayer is Aug. 6, the day we “Christians” bombed Hiroshima in 1945 killing almost 200,000 fellow human beings.
This is a governor who supposedly cares about “the people.” Which people? He refused to sign LD 860 that would have funded a low-income children’s summer free lunch program, but passed tax laws that primarily favor those making over $120,000 and penalized teachers and retirees for the state’s negligence of the pension system.
Anyone still want the tea party to run the state?
That letter sums up how many of us feel about Paul LePage. L’Idiot! Let’s not let it happen again.
It is about time people of Maine and the rest of the country to realize we are heading toward socialism Listern to your governor and not the liberal press that is brainwashed by Washington D.C Take back what is ours and dump all the liberals in the Atlantic Out God and morals are controled by the greed of politicians and is destroying america and the Unions are in there giving them a helping hand God Bless America and God Bless your governor that has guts to say what he means you in Mane are blessed as we are in the State of Texas with a conservative gonernor in Perry
Let me get this straight, Jack: Your morals encourage the dumping of human beings out into cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean?
Why should we lend credence to your support of Paul LePage, with a sadistic morality like this?
Paul LePage is a dumb a**.. okay our children may be at risk due to bpa and so do as the pedi says and avoid it to be safe and thats what im doing..not what a polition says…he thinks making cuts to health care will help? ok so u cut the health care then single females lose birth control then there is hunderds of unplanned pregnacies then they have babies rack up millions in hospitol fees and cant pay because this idiot took it and then the hospitals cant afford to stay open then everyone is screwed… come on thats just 1 example, he is screwing up maine and causing more issues then solving… LePage is uneducated in many departments and i dont know how he ever became gov. but lets pray he dont screw the whole state up n further more lets pray this moron wont be re_elected..ever..
I love how these TP morons throw the word “socialist” around like they know what it means. They use it any time they disagree with a policy as a scare tactic with no regard to the particulars of the policy or the problem it addresses. They then turn around and throw money at people who dont need it and are not doing anything useful with it under a fantasyland story of “job creators”. LePage is owned by the corporations and is implementing corporate fascism. He is owned by the rich and do their bidding, not that of the people that elected him.
