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.

Let's track the teacher union endorsements for Governor and Senate races to confirm their support for big government liberal Democrat candidates.

Might be a lot less work to track their support for conservatives. ;^)

"Cianchette's campaign denounced the endorsement as blatantly partisan, saying that the union didn't bother to interview Cianchette. "

Nothing like an open minded liberal, they didn't even talk to him. Remind me to vote to cut the town school budget again next year.

The following is from the John Baldacci Roll Calls :

Did you know that John E. Baldacci, a man who claims to be a Roman Catholic Italian, belongs to a muslim Arab group? It is true, Congressman john Baldacci, the man who wants to be Maine's next governor, belongs to an Arab American group that to this day, has not taken a position against those who murdered 2500 people on Sept. 11th, 2001.

Baldacci has never voted for a tax cut that passed, never voted pro-life, voted for every pro-abortion piece of legislation and for every tax increase that passed. And now he wants to be the governor of Maine. But he has been endorsed by: the democratic party of Maine, evey socialist, communist and facist organization in Maine, every anti hunting/anti gun group in the state and every organization that favors the US surrendering authority to the UN.

John Baldacci, is one of the most corrupt anti- Christ, anti-Republic congressman on the hill, he, like his mentor barney Frank from Massachusetts, has never voted against the homosexual lobby nor for the Family lobby.

As you review Baldacci's roll call votes, you will understand why none who loves Christ and or this country could possibly vote for John Elias Baldacci, for governor, for dog catcher or for anything. When you look at his stances against the Boy Scouts of America, you'll understand why you would never want this man near your sons.

Isn't that something!  They never even contacted Peter!  This is an outrage.  Talk about bias! And/or Brain Washed!

It's like leading the sheep to slaughter!  Hand-in-hand.

If this man is elected as our Governor, I will be voting against a LOT of things.

The NEA has done the same thing here in Rhode Island by formally supporting Myrth York, a democratic Governor hopeful.
