This should be a national story, along the lines of the attempted theft by Al Gore in Florida. Unionized postal employees fail to deliver absentee ballots, thought to strongly favor the Republican candidate, until AFTER the election. The RATS win by 10 VOTES, and refuse to count the mail-in votes, even though they were postmarked BEFORE election day.

WHat was a 17-17-1 balance in the Maine Senate now is 18-16-1 for the Rats, who now control both the House and Senate, and have a decent shot of the governorship this year.

This whole story parallel's the Florida fiasco where Al Gore tried to throw out military ballots. There also has been no outcry to count every vote, or voter disenfranchisement.

Maine is testing ground for a nationwide effort every election. The Dems know the only chance they have is to cheat.

File bump

When did the Post Office deliver the ballots?

What reason did they give for such a late delivery?

Republicans had maintained that some absentee ballots that arrived after the special election polls closed on March 5 should have been and still should be counted. Democrats said that would violate state law and go against standard practice.

But the will of the people has been thwarted! Those people have been disenfranchised! Count every vote! We just want a full, fair, and accurate counting of all the --- Oh, that would favor the wrong side. Never mind.

Can you say "Governor Baldacci"?

If you thought phoney Independent King was bad just wait until Baldy gets through with us.

Check out The ACU ratings for our Maine delegation.

Our two reps:

Allen = 2 lifetime

Baldacci = 8 lifetime.

OK, we can see that. At least these two stiffs are professed Dems.

What about our two Republican senators who vote with the Dems over 40% of the time. Collins 42% and Snowe 49% of the time with the Rats.

Well, how about "standard practice" in the real world?

Read the rules for any contest run by corporations, etc. There's always a reminder that "entries must be postmarked no later than...."

Because in the real world, everyone knows enough not to rely on the speed and efficiency of the bloated bureaucracy know as the "U. S. Postal Service."

This is apparently too impenetrable a concept for politicians to grasp.

Perhaps we should call the 'RATs "Mugabe Democrats" for their election practices. 'RATs are scum.

I have lived in Caribou, Maine since 1983. The state is overrun by DemocRATS and controlled by DemorcRATS. They care very little about their constituents from the tip of Maine down to the border! They tax us to death to fund their pet programs. They suck up around election time, and when the voters go into the booth to cast their vote, they think “Who is that guy/gal I wanted to vote for?” Oh yes! The one with their name in the news the most!

Baldacchi, Chilli Pepper, (my name for her). If our guys do not get their names in print a LOT, we are going to lose this election again!!!

Maine is super democratically controlled. We desperately need a change. If Baldy becomes our Governor, you think it’s bad now under King? Just wait. Baldacchi is a control freak. The power would go to his head in unbelievable ways.

For God’s sake people, if your not registered to vote, PLEASE register. The primary’s are less then three months away! Please!

King has used our tax dollars to renovate the State House; to add “heated steps,” and elevator music. Then he cries foul because there is no money for health care. Not to mention this asinine lap tops for 7th and 8th graders. What happened to the private funding he was supposed to get? Now looks like the Dems have awarded him another $25 million for lap tops.

Two sites a Republican in Maine should look at closely regarding Baldacci:

Baldacci wants to be the next governor of Maine. Does he represent you?

John Baldacci
