Maine NAACP, when they accused him of a pattern of racism: “Tell them to kiss my butt!”

He correctly referred to them as just another "special interest group". (Klan with a tan)

ignoramuses

In case you didn't know that word has an interesting history...

It's actually a character in a play from the 1615...

A noun that became a verb...

LePage another example of leadership a man who will stand on principle, will not waiver, wobble, backtrack and suddenly change his mind because it is politically expedient to do so.

CRUZ 2016!

Engaging personality. Ballsy too. He reminds me of Chris Cristie before “The Sandy Hook Bromance of 2012”

No disrespect to LePage, but it's much easier for a politician to have b@lls of steel if he does his job as if it's the only elected office he'll ever hold. Chris Christie was the exact same way in New Jersey before he was re-elected in 2013.

These guys get into trouble when they decide to start backtracking and prevaricating in order to build a resume for a different job.

I did not have a lot of time to work on campaigns this year but on the Monday night before the election, from 4:00 pm until dark, I held a LePage sign at a very busy intersection in downeast Maine. Other Republicans were there too with signs for other candidates. Some cursing to be sure but lots and lots of honks for support.

The college Republicans seem to be getting more active and more conservative across the state.

But wait a minute.

I thought Republicans who compromised and worked with Democrats always win?

LePage: “I was a Democrat, until I learned to count.”

Ouch!

I live in Maine. Paul LePage is light-years to the right of Chris Christie.

The article didn’t mention that the Republicans picked up ten seats in the Maine House in the 2014 election and won control of the Maine Senate.

The Portland area, in southern Maine, has the bulk of the population and is liberal.

Most of Maine is rural, and those rural areas have a lot of conservatives....strong 2nd Amendment conservatives, as is Gov. LePage.

Constitutional Carry has a good chance of being passed by the Maine House and Senate in the weeks to come. Half the democrats in the Maine House support Constitutional Carry, as do virtually all the Republicans.

LePage was as blunt as could be: “I was a Democrat, until I learned to count.”

My favorite line.

What LePage has done in Maine is comparable to what Walker has done in Wisconsin. Maine is similar in politics.

LePage is now pushing for a change in the state constitution to eliminate the income tax, and it looks like there will be a real battle.

You have to love governors like Walker and LePage.

They show what one man with courage can do.
