See here, screen capture of Bangor Daily News at 8:33 PM EDT:
I’m not referring to the 8073% to 4310% vote margin in favor of incumbent Chellie Pingree in the left-hand margin; that must be a typographical error or something.
No, I’m referring to the smiling white man standing outside a polling place. Just standing there, smiling! If a smiling black man standing outside a polling place in Philadelphia is a clear sign of voter intimidation and fraud, as FOX News supposes, then a smiling white man standing outside a polling place in the state of Maine must be signify voter intimidation and fraud too.
Unless… hmm, nah. FOX News can’t be racist. They’re fair and balanced, after all. No, that smiling white guy standing there must be engaged in voter intimidation and fraud. Holy cow! We’ve really got a story on our hands here.
It’s time to get the national media involved. I called the FOX News tip line at 1-888-369-4762 just now so I could report the news to FOX’s crack team of non-racist investigators. But it’s the strangest thing: no one would take my call.
Good news so far on kooky Paul LePage, though, yes?
And libertarian Rand Paul WON.
Terrible situation for many Maine residents come 2011;Nov.3rd was a sad day for many reasonable (and rational) Mainers.
So, will/can there be a bumper sticker stating that Lepage will (or can) ‘go to hell’ ; if he is to govern as he has threatened. Do not believe that he has ever sincerely apologized for saying – “That if elected Governor – I will tell Obama to go to hell!” Wow – what an embarrassment he was then, and will surely be. (Also he threatened
to want to “punch in the face” an MPBN reporter.) Civility and statesmanship – be dashed!
Also – does he even pay his Marden employees a living wage/and what health benefits do they have?
And Maine education/educators will suffer much more. Environmentalism under severe threat. People who need social services – cut off.
Thanks for listening.
