I get the distinct feeling that if LePage were to intervene in the situation of man beating his wife, LePage would join in the beating.

Ok, when is this dick up for re-election?

According to LePage, this just proves he is a powerful leader.

In our corrupt system, this at least has to be grossly illegal. I am not sure what SCOTUS will say given its current retarded thinking.

LePage should be in prison.

He just won re-election in 2014. So not until 2018. Assuming he doesn’t end up impeached, which is a possibility that is growing every day as things like this come to light.

With any luck that will actually leave a mark. Given the current political climate, I’m not so sure it will though.

estamm · October 15, 2015, 5:50pm

Yeah, I was thinking he did, but wasn’t sure. Didn’t know people from Main could be that stupid.

See, here in Texas, when our governor tried that sort of crap, we had him arrested. Rick Perry… still facing felony charges. Your turn Maine. Are you more, or less corrupt than Texas?

Edit: New Texas state motto: “Nos autem non sumus adulterantes stoliditatis” - We may be stupid, but we ain’t corrupt.

daveyjones64 · October 15, 2015, 5:53pm

He hasn’t won a majority in either election…a plurality in both…5 people race in 2010, 3 people race in 2014.

But yeah, I would have thought by 2014 they had seen enough of this guy to be able to say…No. Just No.

blueberrytomatosoup · October 15, 2015, 5:55pm

I think he is term-limited? Or did I make that up?

rudesan · October 15, 2015, 5:57pm

Raised in the Word of Life church?

dnl · October 15, 2015, 6:00pm

WE know what 4/9 of them would decide.

jeffreybruner · October 15, 2015, 6:07pm

I think this is grounds for impeachment in Maine (or anywhere, for that matter!)

blue_grit · October 15, 2015, 6:10pm

If there ever was a case of government violating someone’s constitutional rights!!!

What is it that the gun strokers are always saying about government tyranny?

Oh right, it only applies if a Democrat does it to a GOTPer.

native8merlynder · October 15, 2015, 6:12pm

Mob Boss

publishermike · October 15, 2015, 6:14pm

Term limited after two terms. He’s floated trail balloons about running for Susan Collins’ seat if Collins runs for Governor, which is rumored.

azjude · October 15, 2015, 6:15pm

f’ing maine. Electing this guy? Twice???

johnscotus · October 15, 2015, 6:17pm

I hang my head in shame. But I can spell.
