There are no words. After his latest stunt, he might just have crossed the line into impeachment.

This guys should had never been governor. People in Maine only have Eliot Cutler to thank for this guy. I can forgive him in 2010 because he had a reasonable chance of getting elected. But in 2014 he did not. And he did a disservice to his state. Same way Ralph Nader gave us Bush, Cutler gave us LePage. As good as if he had voted for him.

Paul LePage, protecting the people of Maine from decent wages and working to keep the poor from hoarding all the money.

Steven King loves to write puzzling and terrifying horror stories about Maine, but I don’t think even he could make up an a-hole to compare with insane LePage.

Think I found what ratf*cker LePage has been sniffing’…and he’s so proud of it, he’s marketing it.

And yet he was re-elected. I wonder, if our country survives this assault on sanity, the earth, and all that is good…will history record it with any accuracy?

Faulting LePage for what he does is like criticizing a skunk for being smelly—it’s what they do, and have never tried to hide the fact.

The truly crazy and stupid people in Maine are the complete fucking numbskulls who voted AGAIN for the preening narcissist Eliot Cutler, whose own financial resources insulate him from the consequences of LePage’s rule.

If all those Cutler voters in 2014—who I’m sure would blabber for a week about how much they value good government—had cast their vote for the only possible alternative to LePage with a chance of winning, Mike Michaux, then none of this would be in the news today. LePage would be a very bad but fading memory. It’s just another instance of some voters proving they don’t give a shit about the consequences of their vote for those with the least ability to protect themselves from Republican rule: the poor and working classes. Ralph Nader certainly didn’t give a shit about those people in 2000, nor did his voters in Florida and New Hampshire.

We hear over and over that ā€œweā€ need better Democratic candidates. I agree in principle, but we sure as fuck also need better voters.

I don’t think five is enough-- He needs at least one more absurdity before announcing his candidacy for POTUS –

You have to note LePage’s batshitcrazy comments on global warming and natural disasters. They contain wonderful examples of Republican ā€˜kinder and gentler compassionate conservatism’ and free market bonuses from disasters.
Examples, he noted that global warming and climate change has allowed the Northern Passage to stay open and that tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes open up a lot of job opportunities.
Look on the bright side…Winning, duh!
ManO’Man! And they reelected that rat bastard. Jeeeeeeeeeeez’!
He is quite literally a state’s example of what Donald Trump would be as president. ~shudder!~

Cutler’s ego gave Maine LePage.

Le Page only won 40% of the vote. The remaining majority of 60% was split between Michaud and Cutler. Cutler was only in the race as a spoiler who people begged not to run. As a result we have a minority elected governor who acts like a trained chimpanze, although that’s an insult to the chimp.

Who is crazier?

LePage has never shot anyone and he never will. He’ll talk about until he dies but he’;ll never do it. He’s a short fat guy with the complexes some folks like him have. He isn’t tough but he in a position to talk tough with an impunity he does not provide. So he runs his mouth.

Who are the idiots who vote for people like LePage?

Very typical of cowards, talk tough, get in others faces, act as if their shit doesn’t stink… Need some one to expose the ā€œemperor has no clothesā€. Maybe the recent Impeachment talk will do the trick. I don’t expect it to go anywhere as the local REPUGS may be disgusted but you can place bets they’ll back ā€œtheir guy and the partyā€ before the people.

He should change his name to LeRoi, since he thinks he’s king.

I would add ā€œTrying to start a beef with Stephen Kingā€ to this list.
