Do we really want to elect "Thug" LaPage?

I haven't blogged in a while...since 2007 actually. Time to update...

I was planning (and may still do so) to write a letter to the Editor, Bangor Daily News re: Paul "Thug" LePage. I have renamed him "Thug" after listening to him speak to reporters re: his tax "issues"...I guess it was the first time I had heard his voice. It's a very gutteral voice..sounds a lot like the Mafia kind of voice...a voice of the streets...where it's either go along with the "big guy" or kiss your sorry butt good-bye! Now I'm not saying that Thuggie would want to actually kill anyone. I don't think he would do that for any reason. But as a many generational Mainer I'm very sad at the prospect that this man would represent ME (or even the little me). Just think....he wins the election, he's interviewed on CNN (more likely it would be an interview on Faux News) and he starts speaking in his "street" voice...I would, at that moment, disavow any connection to the State of Maine...the State of my heart. I hope the voters aren't taken in by this man...I hope we are all wiser than that....I hope...we'll see....

If worse comes to comes and it's Thuggie in Augusta and Palin in DC in 2012 I can guarantee that it will be Edie in Canada...eh?
