Here in Maine, we elected Paul LePage governor in November, 2010. He is a TEA Party conservative, so it can be done, even here in the northeast.

let me know how it works out.

get back to me in about a year. If he remains rock solid Conservative, then he probably will stay that way.

Maine’s governor is the real deal. He doesn’t strike me as the type of man who would compromise his principles, unlike some of our gutless GOP wonders in D.C.

Paul LePage is from a family of sixteen children. When he was very young, his father beat him, dropped him off at a hospital with 50 cents, and told the boy to tell the hospital staff that his injuries were due to a “fall.”

The future governor then lived on the streets, shining shoes and living a life like something out of a Charles Dickens novel. Another family took young Paul in, and when he got older, he graduated from college and became a successful businessman and the mayor of Waterville, Maine.

After being sworn in as governor and in office just a few days, he ended Maine’s status as a “sanctuary” state for illegals.

A few weeks later, it’s was demanded that he attend a specific Martin Luther King day breakfast.....he told the King day organizers to “kiss my ass,” and he said those words in public in front of the media.

Shortly after that, Governor LePage demanded that a mural depicting workers be removed from the Department of Labor in Augusta, Maine’s capital. The governor said that the murals were unfair because they didn’t show the contributions of business owners. The murals were placed in storage.

During the campaign, LePage was overheard telling someone that if he was elected, he would spend a lot of his time telling Obama to “go to hell.”

The GOP won control of the Maine House and the Maine Senate in Nov. 2010, the same day LePage was elected governor.
The GOP hasn’t controlled both the Maine House and Maine Senate since the early 1960’s. Granted, some of them are RINOs, but it’s a start.
