AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine's largest teachers' union is throwing its support behind Democrat John Baldacci for governor.

The Maine Education Association said it will formally announce its endorsement Thursday on the steps of Portland High School. Baldacci is expected to be on hand to accept the endorsement from MEA President Rob Walker.

Perhaps it would be more accurate if the headline read....

"Union SELLS support to Democrat...etc etc.....

Much as I despise the politics of the quivering worm Baldacci, the link merely goes to a page concerning famous Arab-Americans and says nothing about him either belonging to a group or being a Mooselimb.

These dopes should concentrate on beating the worm politically and leave the slander to others.

ChristianPatriot.com is doing us all a diservice by spreading this tripe.

Sorry, metesky.  It's a link that is written/used by one of our own in here.  I can't verify if it's solid or not.  Just another item for consideration when it comes to Baldacci.

It's certainly not solid if it claims that the Arab-Americans at the link are Muslims as the majority of the people listed are most definitly NOT Muslims.

Doug Flutie? John Sununu? Frank Zappa? Please!!!

And whatever Freeper is implying that all these people are Islamists can pound sand.

Did you read the link? Did you read She Lions original post? The link goes to the membership rolls of an Arab Group that, when you read all of their press statements and policies, has yet to condemn those who killed on 9-11.

If your aq Baldacci supporter, fine, but, why not just say it instead of twisting what is written on a link posted by She Lion?

Did you know that John E. Baldacci, a man who claims to be a Roman Catholic Italian, belongs to a muslim Arab group? It is true, Congressman john Baldacci, the man who wants to be Maine's next governor, belongs to an Arab American group that to this day, has not taken a position agaisnt those who murdered 2500 people on Sept. 11th, 2001.

From the Link:John Baldacci, Congressman (ME) is listed as a memeber, if you scroll up from there, you will come to those who are famous Arab Americans, of which they calim DOug Flutey is.

Then go to the policies and news releases.

Then comment.

Baldacci is listed as a famous Arab-American, nothing more. You read the thing yourself, Skippy.

Or perhaps you think George Mitchell is an Islamist too? Get real...

Maybe you should do the same thing I did, follow the links back to the author and ask him to explain. Than you won't sound like such a dolt.

I really thought you were a bit smarter than you are proving yourself to be, as I look at your previous post, it seems that you simply have an axe to grind against She Lion.

Look, if you are a simple a baldacci supporter, just say so and be done with it. Nothing is more contemptable than a one who cast stones yet is afraid to come out and stand behind thier candidates.

One more reason why the rest of the country looks at you in the North East and shakes their collective heads.

PS, As you know, I followed the CP link back to the author and his previous thoughts page, did a word search on other maine politicians, guess what, he is supporting this pingree chick too. He has nothing good to say about collins, claims she is a pathological baby killing liar(that may be a paraphrase and not an exact qoute, but he sure isn't going to send collins a dime.

I was told that that Muslim page is for Member's Only, so the general public can not access.

I have faith that the author of Christian Patriot wouldn't put on bogus links if they were untrue. 

You said "he is backing Pingree."  Who is "he?"

titled: Weekend of May 18th & 19th, 2002 Looks like two more one term Republicans.

About half way down this page: http://www.christianpatriot.com/starting_may_01_2002.htm which I found on this page: http://www.christianpatriot.com/links_to_previous_thoughts.htm as: Thoughts from Wednesday May 1st, 2002 through Monday July 29th, 2002

You silly little twirp, you vile pimple on the ass of humankind, if you had the brains that God gave a gnat, you would see that the link supplied by ChristianBoobs.com goes to a page that lists famous Arab-Americans, not Islamists and their supporters. If you will not, or perhaps are incapable of, reading for comprehension, I suggest you get yourself to a remedial class ASAP and bring your skills at least to the third grade level so your betters can at least understand when it is your feeding time.

As for your inane assertion that I have an axe to grind with SheLion, nothing could be further from the truth. We are and will be online friends and allies in the fight against the statist nannies, something an ignorant little sh!t like you would know if you'd been around here for more than three weeks before shooting your yappy little lip off, sir and/or madame.

Likewise your bald lie that I am a Baldacci supporter. You speak from ignorance and I have nothing but contempt for your mewlings.

And I frankly could not give a damn how the rest of the country views the northeast and New England, as if six small states are responsible for the mess in this country.

Physician heal thyself.
