This was because he suggested that people of colour and hispanics were the enemies of the state, and responsible for most of the drug dealing. This is not true. The figure is only 14.1%, and in a state with only about 1% of the populace being ethnic minorities, would be highly unlikely. So is this LePage guy for real? Who the hell elected this idiot? less

Guess that also has to do with the stock market, Wall Street, and financial systems.
Like I said, there is much to discuss, which is a heck of a lot more important than stupid name-calling.

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen right-wingers from America (it never seems to be other countries) on this website declare that "liberalism is a mental illness."
That is not the only similarity. I am not saying that all American righties support all of these views, but the following are common among them.
They support the death penalty, outlawed in every other Western/developed country, if they are not executing you, they support locking you up for an extremely long sentence. Communist countries all did those things. They don't approve of homosexuals. "The conditions that lead to it don't exist in the Soviet Union, comrade." After which they were executed. Still are, in the remaining communist states. Also, just as the Red Army was supposedly there to "protect" the people, they support the "right to bear arms" to "protect ourselves against the bad guys" or "form a militia to overthrow th... less
