Not trying to be a wise guy but why hasn’t Gov. Perry done just that?

I didn’t even realize Texas had such idiocy going on.

Spose Gov. Abbot would give a thought to cutting off aid?

I guess I’m in the right place——I knew what that meant right away.

Perry isn’t anti-illegal, despite any rhetoric to the contrary

Thank you Governor LaPage. I hope this inspires other states with Republican governors to do the same.

That was my impression.

Wish Abbot would give it a shot.

Yeah, and hit it where it hurts: their own personal budgets. Can’t go on that junket to Hawaii to learn about the mating habits of aides and interns. Why not> You blew it on the anchor baby programs.

This gives is me so much glee. Who knew in the state of big lib Stephen King and the Scissor Sisters Senators, out comes this big, bold conservative with big, swinging b***s!

Maine Freepers, we counting on you to keep us apprised.

NO - he threatened to put right back on a bus and send to to DC

He’ll get even more done this term as we got back the state senate - and have a 20-15 advantage -

lePage had a brutal, alcoholic father - 13 kids in the house - was out on the streets at 11 -

He knows some people need help - he also knows the system is out of control - so healthy adults with no children - get out and work

> Go read the comments on yahoo to this - GOP better be listening

Indeed - looks like FreeRepublic over there. Say a rant on global warming causing more lightning (looks like the warmer's actually got something right, we're projected to have a foot of global warming by the weekend & have already had thunderSnow !) 330 comments on that article & not one agreeing with the warmer. Has some degree of sanity returned to the population of Moonbats?

Saw a rant, not say a rant - that’s what I get for posting from my iPad.

One of first controversial ‘like-it-is’ statements...

Telling the NAACP to “KISS MY BUTT”

Of course the NAACP blasted him as a RACIST!

They should’ve done some homework first.
The ‘black son’ lePage refers to as in the family Christmas photo - is a black Jamaican boy they took under their wig - put through high school and then through
college - he’s now in post-grad school.

Yeah - big racist...

Finally a Republican who actually get’s it, someone elected that has some real cajones between his legs. Perhaps other (spineless) Republicans best be watching. This man could could show them how to grow a pair.
