Way to go on electing this guy, Maine.

[Mike Thick]

This guy is really gunning for Trump's VP slot, isn't he?

[Ebowed]

The re-election of this brutish personification of coronary disease is one of the biggest disgraces of 2014, and there were many.

My dad was just like, "he's right but he was a little crude and racist in his comments."

My dad was just like, "he's right but he was a little crude and racist in his comments."

So you can be crude and racist in your thoughts, and it's okay?

He's a true ... dilemma.

Yeah, all those black drug dealers in f**king Maine are the problem.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I want to see Paul LePage and Jeff Sessions have a boxing match over who gets to be Trump's running mate. Loser gets their head shaved by Trump himself.

[Maxwell]

TRUMP/LePage will be a legendary AMERICAN ticket.

Did he say something false? Sometimes the facts are uncomfortable, get over it.

You can just come out and say you're a racist at this point. No one will think any different of you.

[Ebsy]

I'm going to bet over 80% of drug dealers in Maine are white.

"Facts", lol,  please tell me you're joking.

They more than likely are, but there are a lot of drug dealers that probably come out of state, I don't really care if there white or black it doesn't matter they are drug dealers.

[DC Al Fine]

I honestly thought he was talking about Italians until I got to the part about "impregnating white girls". Shows you where my prejudices lie

[Zioneer]

Here's the way you can tell he was talking about black people besides the names. When he says that the "drug dealers" would "impregnate a young, white girl before they leave". Why would LePage bring up that the hypothetical young girl was white unless he was implying that the people he faux-named were black?

So Green Line Paul LePage is a racist turd, there's no ifs and buts about it.

[Green Line]

He could have made his point without the white girls bit. That was unfortunate.

You have a problem with us guidos bro?

Is this forum so useless that we're having to confirm to people that a White Governor, talking in a state with a white population of about what 94%? He then mentions that 'outer state drug dealers' from New York (hint hint) are getting white girls pregnant (hint hint)

It's no different the 'welfare queen' in Chicago, the 'proud god fearing' southerns standing outside at the University of Mississippi-heck it's even like the first scene in West Wing with the 'New York' humour jibe

There are plenty of whites in New York, but obviously when he gets to the part about "white girls" it all becomes clear and I haven't seen anyone here suggest it isn't.

If you were a successful drug dealer in New York or Connecticut, why would you go out of your way to reach a place with a smaller, more rural population with fewer customers and zero personal connections?  That literally makes no sense whatsoever.  I'll give you a hint: Maine's drug dealers live in Maine.

[publicunofficial]

As someone who lives in an extremely white area that also has a massive meth problem, I can confirm that there are MANY white drug dealers. Plenty of them are racist hicks who would probably vote LePage in fact!

I'd love to see him on Jerry Springer.
