#1, this is probably media spin by some shill, and #2, good, I'm glad he's doing this.

Ok - you win. Especially since 'duly elected' should not include multiple votes, votes from the graveyards, and other sundry places...

They’re out there. I recently had lunch with a doctor who started-out sounding sane but as lunch continued, he began speaking about numerous government conspiracies including mind control and about a black hole in the outer solar system that was being used secretly by the government to communicate and trade with aliens 27 light years away for nefarious purposes and other Twilight Zone stuff.

Yes, and the “bitch-slapping” needs to start with the voters!

She was elected. This is a ridiculous, immature response from Gov LePage. Organize voters to replace her at the next election, instead of giving your opponents more fodder.

Re: 12

Cough... That is when you slowly back away...

Actually, I too believe in numerous government conspiracies: e.g., cover-up of Benghazi, Hillary's email law breaking, government's intent to destroy our Nation's borders and National heritage/distinction (including Christian foundation), coverup of OKC, coverup of TWA-800 .... but I keep mine earthbound, at least.

I was in Market Basket in Rochester, NH. Ran across a Maine guy with a Sig in open carry, told him I would trade Governors, he politely declined.

The article says he has 5 days to do it, today is not the last day. So make the witch wait a little, I like it.

Is it petty? Sure. But I like it.
