Where was John Baldacci 9/11 +2 ?????????

Was He Here?

Johnnie's Restaurant in Skowhegan

No, that went belly up years ago.

Was He Here? Yep

"The mag describes a "rowdy" get-together, during which, "one by one, cigars in hand, the men stand to give toasts before drinking deep into the red wine and breaking into fits of loud laughter."

There are even photos of the ladies posing with jovial-looking Democratic Reps. Mike Doyle (Pa.), Robert Brady (Pa.), John Larson (Conn.), John Baldacci (Maine) and Bill Pascrell (N.J.).

How could the Members be yukking it up so much just 48 hours after the worst terrorist attacks in American history?"

That ain't spaghetti, in Baldie's hands.

Hey its 9-13-2001, lets celebrate the destruction of the twin evils.

This will go over big with the Somali group in Lewiston, and the Portland Muslims.

Wonder if Stephen King will ever do a story about baldi, cohen, Mitchell politicians.

The horror the horrors or is that whores.

The Baldacci (D-ME) Psalm or The future of Maine

As Maine Goes~25 July 2002

Governor Baldacci is my shepherd. I shall not want.

He leadeth me beside still factories.

He showeth me empty stores.

He restoreth my doubt in government budgets.

He guideth me to the path of unemployment.

He annointeth the legislative budgetmakers, so that my tax burden runnethover my income.

He giveth in to the MEA agenda for schools which teach not the three Rs.

He giveth in to the enviros who maketh a National Park of my home.

He giveth me jobs waiting table on people From Away who can afford vacations.

Surely, poverty and hard living shall follow the Baldacci Administration and

I shall liveth in a trailer forever.

"How could the Members be yukking it up so much just 48 hours after the worst terrorist attacks in American history?"

This is a pretty pathetic thread. I despise the ambitions of communists as much as anyone else and I even advocate ad hominem attack against people who are sufficiently evil (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/rlc/745583/posts ). But, there are some standards for what qualifies as a legitimate attack. This is just stupid. What should he have been doing? Laying in bed crying?

If I can dig up a picture of another politician having a good time 2 days after 9/11, what does that say about him? It is so easy to make a legitimate criticism of a communist pig. The post beginning this thread is intellectually lazy.

This is just stupid. What should he have been doing? Laying in bed crying?

I have nothing to do with Maine politics, with Maine, or with politics in general. I've never even heard of this man.

But thinking back to 9/13/2001 and the state of shock I was in, I could no more have been yukking it up with anyone anywhere than any other responsible adult in the US at that point. That this man is, says something about him.

[ozone1]

What would you prefer
His voting record on tax increases yet claiming to "know what it's like to be a small business man (see one of his busnesses above)

His voting record on gun control (but he claims sportsmen support him)

His voting record on authorizing W to go into Iraq (He voted no)

His support of single payer health plan in Maine ( Were #1 in taxes per capita, 1 billion in debt for the next bi ennium, how are we going to pay for this.)

His claim to be independent but votes the democrat/liberal way 98% of the time.

But people support him only because he seems like a nice guy. Well here is an example of what he is really like.

[ozone1]

"Baldacci voted with the ACLU: 80%.

CAGW’s lowest rating is from 0% to 19%, a category they describe as representing
a voting record “hostile to taxpayers

Baldacci voted not to enforce the border

ADA rating: In the House, Democrat Tom Allen was on the group's side 95 percent of the time, while fellow Democrat John Baldacci scored 100 percent.

By his unyielding 100% pro-abort record he has shown an uncompromising position "

While your at it go here:

Then you can do a google search to verify the above.

From She Lion's site:
Baldacci and Tom Allen) are big spenders of taxpayer dollars.

You know, I have found that just downloading and distributing their immigration voting records is effective in converting most Democrats I know to the Republican side.

People just didn't know--and they are often shocked. No one wants more of the same, not to mention more budget problems.

They have voted in every way possible for:

1. annual net immigration of 1.3 million poor, illiterate people from third world countries, who are overcrowding American schools, depressing wages for American workers, contributing to one-half of all sprawl, overwhelming American hospitals, and reproducing babies at rates 3 to 45 times the rate of Americans, not to mention fiscally breaking the backs of American state and local governments and the American taxpayers.

2. They have repeatedly voted to extend amnesty to illegal aliens (8 to 11 million of them in the country now).

3. They have repeatedly voted in support of H1B visas, displacing 1 million American technical workers and resulting in no job opportunities for recent American college grads. And they continue to support an increase in the number of h1B visas.

4. They have each played a major role in preventing any efforts brought about by members of Congress who, in accordance with the wishes of 70% of the American people, sought to bring about even the slightest immigration reform in terms of lower refugee and immigrant numbers.

5. They have repeatedly voted in favor of chain migration, where the elderly, social-security-collecting parents, husbands, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, married children and so on, are guaranteed entry into America consequent to one migrant. (the young working chinese have turned social security into a commodity industry for their elderly parents)

6.They have voted for automatic citizenship for any child born to illegal immigrants on American soil. This has resulted in foreign businesses where pregnant women from poor countries like China and Africa pay to be flown here just when they're about to deliver.


And then there is the Somali situation in Lewiston.
What a coward is Mr. Baldacci.



Baldacci absence at debate irks candidates

22 May 2002 - Bangor Daily News

“He considers himself the front-runner and he just wants to hide,” Carter said. “He won’t be able to hide forever and when he comes out of hiding, we will expose the fact that he has a very limited understanding of the problems here in Maine and doesn’t really articulate a serious program for improving the economic well-being of the state.”

http://www.geocities.com/shelioness/Baldacci.html

The man is running from his record and doesn't want anyone to find out. He won't debate the other candidates in an open forum, only canned questions allowed.

Thanks. I will forward this info to my relatives still holding out in Maine, in spite of the communist onslaught.
