Elect Republicans [Maine]
The Lewiston Sun Journal ^ | September 12, 2010 | Thomas F. Shields

Insanity is when you continue to do the same thing and expect different results. Maine people are not insane, so why do they continue to elect the Democrats to the Legislature and expect improvements? Maine continues to decline.

If Maine really wanted the millions in funds that come with the “Race to the Top” program, why is it not publicized that one of the qualifications is to have charter schools? The teachers’ union opposes charter schools and the Democrats agree.

Why are Maine’s health insurance rates so high? Maine Republicans have repeatedly proposed corrective measures, only to be voted down.

For Congress, why has Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged the House to first pass legislation and read it later?

For President Barack Obama, why has he been caught on camera many times being disrespectful to our patriotic customs? Why is he suing the state of Arizona for enforcing federal laws and, at the same time, not protecting Arizona territory from Mexican criminals? Has he a racist preference when there is no prosecution of ACORN and the Black Panthers for their illegal actions?

When will the media start rendering news that does not favor President Obama and the Democrats, instead of omitting those stories?

If Islam is not supporting the terrorists, why don’t the “moderate” Muslims speak up and condemn these radicals? Non-Muslims are not afraid to speak.

Should Mainers elect Republicans in November? Absolutely.

Goes without saying, if they're real Republicans.

"Insanity is when you continue to do the same thing and expect different results."

I think this suggests the answer?

Oh really.

There is a saying, "If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck..."

I think that’s what Maine voters will be doing this November, as will most of the country.

I have a friend who by his own admission is ’stuck in Maine’. He has suffered for the past 10 years and can't sell his house.

I live in N. Maine and I concur- Maine is going Republican/Tea Party this time.

An example- my neighbor has always been a squish. Anti- "extremist" and arguing with me that we should give obamma a chance just last year.

Now? He's gone full bore Tea Party and Conservative.

He's not alone.

YOU take offense!? Then stop proving him right by sending Collins and Snowe to the Senate every year. You people pride yourself on being independent but you obviously define independents as being just as progressive as the rest of the NE liberal states. Give the country a break!
