Maine candidate for governor swears at reporter, storms out

[catgirl]

Apparently, he doesn't like having to answer questions about alleged tax violations. He was leading in the polls last week.

Washington Post article with (cutoff) video:

1. LePage is a total jerk!

I live in FL, but also have a small cottage on a lake in Maine. There is NO WAY his wife "forgot" her residency in FL and her Homestead in FL. You just can't legally have residency and Homestead in two states. If you have established Homestead in FL, each year you are sent a card reminding you about your Homestead and if you still will be using it to offset your property taxes. Do nothing if everything remains the same and notify your county if you are no longer a resident or using Homestead. LePage has been the mayor of Waterville and has a big job with Marden's, a very large liquidation company with stores all over Maine. If he lives,works, and is a resident of Maine, how in hell can his children qualify for instate tuition in Florida? (The answer is Not Legally.) When asked about the tax problem, all he could do was swear and walk away. Now that is someone who would make a great governor...NOT!!! Our youngest daughter went to the University of Maine in Orono and we had to pay OUT OF STATE TUITION because we are FL residents. I guess there is a double standard for those repukes running for gov in Maine.

2. He hasn't made friends with the media

Hopefully this will turn the election around. They should put his integrity on the ballot.

LePage showing his true colors, though. :)

4. Check out this Bangor Daily poll:

"Should a candidate’s temperament be a factor in the governor’s race?"

I am guessing LePage apologists are the main voters in this thing.
