Some Maine Democrats to press for impeachment of Gov. LePage
Associated Press ^ | Jan 10, 2016 6:26 PM EST | David Sharp

The furor over Gov. Paul LePage's comment about "young white" girls being impregnated by out-of-state drug dealers is last week's news. This week could bring an impeachment order calling for an investigation into the Republican's alleged abuse of power.

A group of lawmakers led by Rep. Ben Chipman, a Portland Democrat, submitted the order, and Chipman said it's due to be debated on the House floor on Thursday. But House Democrats are divided, and the situation remains fluid. ...

He just described what he saw.

That’s the problem?

Dems are girly men. “Racist” has lost any meaning other than, “I disagree with you so let me toss out a word to end all argument.”

Can someone actually be impeached for telling the truth?

The Governor should have stood his ground. The time is ripe to have this debate.

Hard to say since LePage hasn't given a source for his claim.

Dems are never afraid to go for impeachment

The Repunlicans in Main need to counter by holding abuse of power hearings on obama.

Exactly on what basis is such proceeding justified? What law has this governor broken? Where is the evidence of High Crimes and Misdemeanors? Is there perfidy? Malfeasance? If none of these are present, then those who bring forth this frivolous BS should be heavily fined.

Yep...should have stood his ground. Once he backpedaled there was blood in the water and the sharks moved in for the kill.

I see it everywhere in small towns arcross my state...these single white women toting around their little brown baby and acting like it's the greatest thing. They got their Onambla phone, and EBT card.

I was going to post something but you better-posted me. Dead on.

Not only are the girls white, but the drug dealers are primarily black. Whether that is or is not a result of history does not change 'what is'.

"A equals A" comes from Ayn Rand (who for those who don't know - was a pretty serious plain old philosopher and not just a political philosopher. Her political philosophy derived directly from her basic assumptions) - she was talking bout exactly this - and how once you play games with it, you're screwed (or a collectivist.)

That a thing ... is the same thing ... that it is. As a corollary, it is not ... something other ... than what it is.

When you can be impeached, thrown in jail, socially excommunicated for standing on that ... then it's Animal Farm land. But it's not new.

And now I have gone and said I wasn't going to post and I did, right after a rant about integrity. I must be GOPe.

More fascism from the left. They are pretty bold. I hate to think what it will take to end their fascist tendencies.

Funny all we hear when it is a dem is it will hurt them in future elections to impeach. Never seems to bother the dems.

Yet they’ll still crawl over broken glass to support a baby-murdering, rape-enabling monster like Hillary...

One of the silver linings though, is that these biracial kids have a much better shot at succeeding than regular black kids in the inner-cities. One of my friends has a biracial teen son, and her parents are fully involved in his life to provide structure. Plus, he had a “pal”, an older adult similar to a Big Brother or Sister. Of course, the father of the kid is in jail for not paying child support.

Not one of these Democrats had a thing to say when Robert Byrd, on TV, made his remark about white *iggers and black *iggers. I pointed out Byrd’s comments to some libs I knew at the time. Meh. BFD.

When hypocrites are offended, screw them. There is a reason we call them hypocrites.

Not to worry. This will amount to nothing. The democrats are just upset because Lepage stopped one of the bastards who is retiring from becoming a headmaster at some school....Lepage threatened to withhold funds if the guy was appointed. Lepage simply pointed out that he was in no way qualified (the truth).....thats what this is all about. The comment on the blacks impregnating the white chicks is true.....part of the welfare/drug selling life.....”homey need’s a crib when he be a vissittin”

In the Age of Obama and Political Correctness, telling the truth is a capital crime, My FRiend. It is the worse thing one can do.
