what will the end result be if all the budget cuts Lepage and company asks for are passed! The same thing we had when Longley massacred the budget! mass exodus of our youth! more low paying jobs without benefits! and of course at first lots of press and false bravado! If your 50 or under kiss your future in Maine good bye! been there done that twice-longley was not the first!

1. Are you talking about.... |
|
...our former independent governor, and not his one-and-done US Rep son? Because everyone keeps telling me that the problem is that both parties are the same, and that independents, and third-party candidates, are the answer. So an independent governor must be awesome.
Next you'll be telling me that Angus King wasn't all that. And that John Rensenbrink giving Susan Collins her Senate seat on a silver platter was a good thing.

Of course i'm talking about gov. longley-he was denied the republican backing so ran independent! next time do your research-I like ANGUS KING-I ALSO LIKED HIM WHEN HE WAS ELECTED A SELECTMAN!I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR FIRST MEETING WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO PLAY A SOFTBALL GAME FOR CHARITY AND HE SHOOK MY HAND AND SAID I'M ANGUS KING AND SOME DAY I WILL BE GOVERNOR OF THIS STATE!(ONE OF TWO MEN I HAVE MET IN MY LIFE THAT KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED AND ACHIEVED THAT GOAL) YOU SEE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PARTY'S BACKING YOU CAN STILL RUN INDEPENDENT! LONGLEY CRIPPLED THIS STATE AND I'M AFRAID THAT LEPAGE IS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING! LOOK AT THE PHOTO OPP LAST NITE -LESS THAN 75 PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO VOCALIZE TARRON BRAGDON'S (MAINE HERITAGE CEO) ASKING FOR THE TAX CUTS FOR BUSINESS! HERE IS A MAN IN CHARGE OF A TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION! COMPLAINING ABOUT TAXES ON BUSINESS! ITS A JOKE! 75 PEOPLE DOES NOT REPRESENT 1.3 MILLION! NOW AFTER YOU READ THIS REPORT BACK TO YOUR LEADER! LMAO!

I HAVE MET HIM AND SEEN BOTH SIDES OF HIM! THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO GIVE HIM A LETTER LETTING HIM KNOW I WAS DOING A SURVEY ON THE ROAD HE LIVED ON. HE WAS POLITE AND TOO THE LETTER AND AS I TURNED TO GO HE GAVE ME THE GERMAN SALUTE AND SAID HEIL HITLER! AT THE TIME HE WAS STILL TEACHING ! I KEPT A STRAIGHT FACE AND WALKED AWAY! BUT MY THOUGHTS WERE WHAT IS HE TEACHING THOSE KIDS? THE NEXT TIME I MET HIM HE WAS TAKING A PUTER CLASS AT MOUNT ARRAT SCHOOL-(ADULT ED) HE WAS FRIENDLY AND TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE ADULT CLASSES!AT LEAST 20 YEARS SEPERATED THOSE TWO MEETINGS! AS FAR AS SUSAN COLLINS GOES I THINK SHE IS MORE INDEPENDENT THAN GIVEN CREDIT FOR! I KNEW MAGGIE MET HER SEVERL TIMES I PERSONALLY THINK SHE WAS THE BEST ROLE MODEL FOR MANY TO FOLLOW! SHE KNEW IF YOU TREATED AN EMPLOYEE FAIRLY HE/SHE WAS THE BEST INVESTMENT BUSINESS COULD MAKE!

4. When Collins votes for a non-Republican... |

Edited on Thu Mar-24-11 09:25 AM by Davis_X_Machina
...when the biennial election of the Majority Leader comes up in the Senate, or even abstains, then she gets props for being independent. Until then, she's a Republican. She's cruised on the strength of voting against opening ANWAR, the Family and Medical Leave Act and voting against Clinton's conviction after impeachment for too long. Most of those 'independent' votes were ten-fifteen years ago -- today she's Mitch McConnell's reliable soldier.
