Reading the letters to the editor recently, there are still a few caring people left (William Berlinghoff, March 16; Jenny Orr, Heidi Webber and Dennis O’Neil, March 18). They took the time to remind people that those people who care need to stick together to fight the evil in this state, this country and in […]

Liberals should get over it
This is in response to Barry Allen (Jan. 24) who responded to my letter of Jan. 17. It seems he took offense at my defense of Gov. Paul LePage. At no time in my letter did I say that liberals should shut up. I was criticizing liberal legislators for their attempt to impeach the governor […]

Governor won’t stop until forced
This is in response to Louise Allen’s letter (Jan. 20) in support of Gov. Paul LePage. Excuses for Gov. LePage’s inappropriate comments include that they are mere “slips of the tongue” and, now, that they are a result of his upbringing. LePage’s verbal attacks are not inadvertent; they reflect exactly what he thinks — the […]

LePage doing good for the state
I write in support of Gov. Paul LePage. Instead of concentrating on how the governor speaks, which, incidentally, has to do with his background upbringing and has nothing to do with his intelligence, people should concentrate on the good he is doing for this state. How about his working on helping to stop human trafficking […]

Who are the real racists?
After reading and re-reading the accounts of Gov. Paul LePages’ comments that led to so much criticism from the noble and honorable press and social media, it quickly occurred to me as to who the real racists and profilers are in this state and country. There was never any mention as to the race or […]

Welcome to the real world
As a native Mainer and a blue collar worker who puts in 60 hours a week in some of Maine’s roughest neighborhoods, I find Dave Griffiths’ comments ludicrous (letter, Jan. 13). What exactly has the radical Muslim religion blessed us with? Beheadings? Gang rape? Forced conversions? Just lay out a welcome mat for ISIS. And […]

Stop bashing the governor
I am disgusted with the way the people of Maine are treating Gov. Paul LePage. They keep voting him into office, then turn around and call him names for the good things he does. OK, so he slips up every now and then. Doesn’t everyone? He was a good manager of Marden’s and, if I […]

D. Warren: The bashing of Gov. LePage
The media are more interested in the way Gov. Paul LePage says things than in the substance of what he is trying to convey. The reason he is having trouble with the people at the State House is that he is not a politician and never claimed to be, plus he really doesn’t speak their […]

E. Bastian: Support the will of the people
I have to thank Sen. Eric Brakey for supporting LD 1378. The governor vetoed the bill and I hope that Brakey and Rep. Ellie Espling will override that veto. Gov. Paul LePage is holding the Lands for Maine’s Future bonds hostage as a political bargaining chip, putting 30 projects at risk. The Legislature voted, by […]

P. Caron: LePage is abusing his power
A couple months ago, Gov. Paul LePage stood with a bunch of bikers and yelled out that he would not stand for abusive or bullying behavior. Perhaps that means that LePage is the only one who can bully, abuse and blackmail. I have heard that he cannot be impeached because, as governor, he has immunity. […]
