The Baldacci (D-ME) Psalm or The future of Maine
As Maine Goes ^ | 07/25/2002 | Friend of Fred

Governor Baldacci is my shepherd. I shall not want.

He leadeth me beside still factories.

He showeth me empty stores.

He restoreth my doubt in government budgets.

He guideth me to the path of unemployment.

He annointeth the legislative budgetmakers, so that my tax burden runnethover my income.

He giveth in to the MEA agenda for schools which teach not the three Rs.

He giveth in to the enviros who maketh a National Park of my home.

He giveth me jobs waiting table on people From Away who can afford vacations.

Surely, poverty and hard living shall follow the Baldacci Administration and

I shall liveth in a trailer forever.

If the people of Maine don't wake up soon, a minumum wage job at the snack shop at the national park will be considered a career.

“They hated him,” (labor union)he said. “But for the last eight years, he’s been down in Washington marching lock-step with Bill Clinton and others. That’s fine when you’re in Washington, but it may be a harder sell in the most heavily taxed state in the nation.”

Baldacci win not a sure thing, observers say

Baldacci absence at debate irks candidates
“He considers himself the front-runner and he just wants to hide,” Carter said. “He won’t be able to hide forever and when he comes out of hiding, we will expose the fact that he has a very limited understanding of the problems here in Maine and doesn’t really articulate a serious program for improving the economic well-being of the state.”

Baldacci Roll Call Votes taken from another person's site:

"John Baldacci, is on of the most corrupt anti- Christ, anti-Republic congressman on the hill, he, like his mentor barney Frank from Massachusetts, has never voted against the homosexual lobby nor for the Family lobby."

"As you review Baldacci's roll call votes, you will understand why none who loves Christ and or this country could possibly vote for John Elias Baldacci, for governor, for dog catcher or for anything. When you look at his stances against the Boy Scouts of America, you'll understand why you would never want this man near your sons."

Baldacci outlines health care plan

Baldacci pledged to:

Establish a Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness. At one point, the candidate’s remarks sounded as if they were scripted out of a policy initiative proposed by Gov. Angus S. King in 1996, particularly a provision encouraging Mainers to abandon dangerous habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption to pursue healthier lifestyles. Ironically, King’s council on fitness and accompanying concerns about bad habits — the identical themes mentioned Monday by Baldacci — were dismissed at the time by some Democratic legislative critics as the governor’s “don’t get sick” health care plan.

"Four out of five of the leading killers in Maine are attributable at least in part to behavior,” Baldacci said Monday. “Maine can save tremendously if we smoked and drank less, exercised more, ate healthier and worked and played more safely. Leading a healthy lifestyle is a responsibility of each and every one of us, but it can be difficult to achieve.”

Old Bubba's meatballs are drying out, Peter Cianchette's got more money on hand and the budget crisis should blow up in his face after labor day.

Mainers can save tremendously if we moved out of state.

Amen!

And boy was I torqued when King closed the State run Liquor Stores for "MORAL REASONS!" Remember that? I wrote letters asking 'since when did being Governor make him head Clergy for the state!" I was so upset. Who the hell are these guys to think they should control and tell us how to live. I am totally fed up with this, ozone.

Mainers better get out this November and vote! One person on another thread was so upset with Mainers voting yes on all the bond issues. I never do! Just more taxes we have to pay. But as you see, the bonds passed, and we will be in the middle again. Paying for stuff we do not use.

The RINOS in the legislature are going to start screaming about the budget and the economy after labor day. They want to call back the legislature and start the fight over balancing it before the elction. Baldacci, Michaud and Saxl are on a stall tactic. At most the Rats will call for a widening of the sales tax and say thats all we need. If Joe Bruno is listened to or if Rino Bennett develops some alpha male characteristics they will go at it.
But by history, RINO Bennett will cave in and say again the compromise will stand the test of time.

They were pork projects for Rat infested areas (Lewiston, and the Mill towns to keep the faithful happy.

I'll need a Milltown (meprobamate) if Bubba Baldacci and Michaud get ellected.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall. It should be interesting.

Maine budget is so bloated with their little pet programs, it's sickening. And none of them want to give in and throw them out.

I'm really tired of being taxed to death in this state, ozone. Did I tell you that we own an SUV and Bubba went to renew the plates, and the taxes were over $380! And I am still trying to find out how to get Bubba's military retirement out of being taxed. Maine also taxes his military retirement. It's a wonder Maine isn't taxing toilets!

Legislator says toilet tax can help fight sprawl

AUGUSTA — There are few places Mainers can sit without incurring a tax.

Now, an Old Orchard Beach legislator wants to take another bite from one of the last holdouts — he wants the state to tax toilets that dump into rural septic systems.

The bill, introduced by Rep. David G. Lemoine, D-Old Orchard, would tax every toilet connected to any new septic system installed after Jan. 1, 2002.

This clown would never dare address gays like this to change their dangerous habits. The question is why do we put up with morons like him. He should be shouted down whenever he opens his mouth with this trash.
