Jack Lindley’s new math

The chairman of the Vermont Republican Party is at it again: whining about the Democrats’ criticism of Maine Governor Paul LePage’s upcoming visit. Those scurrilous Dems, trying to make Vermont Republicans and their candidate Randy Brock somehow responsible for LePage’s far-right agenda and frequent bouts of verbal diarrhea, when all they did was invite LePage here for some big-bucks fundraisers.

What’s on Jack Lindley’s mind this time?

The Democratic Party can’t stand the thought of hearing the words or ideas of a reform minded Governor, elected overwhelmingly in a liberal state, who has in just a few short months made the tough decisions necessary to put Maine back on a path to prosperity.

Uhh, a couple of problems there, Sparky. First, Paul LePage was “elected overwhelmingly” with THIRTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE VOTE. He barely squeaked into office, while a Dem/Centrist and a Dem shared 60% of the vote.

But I can understand Jack’s confusion. When his own candidate stands at 25% in the latest gubernatorial poll, then 38% must look like a landslide by comparison.

Item #2. The Democrats may or may not be able stand to hear the intemperate words or simplistic ideas of Paul LePage, but we’ll never know. Because the two events on the Brock/LePage calendar are OPEN TO TICKET-BUYERS ONLY. If you really wanted to expose the good people of Vermont to the ideas of Paul LePage, you should have scheduled a public speech and news conference.

But no, you really don’t want LePage to be visible or audible to the public. You just want to use his notoriety to raise some money for Randy’s beleaguered campaign, and then ship him back to Maine as quietly as possible.  

One thought on “Jack Lindley’s new math

  1. Jack Lindley is a Republican, he can’t tell the truth.  If any Republican ever tells the truth they are kicked out of the GOP and become Blue-Dog Democrats.

    Look at how many LIES Jack Lindley, professional liar, packs into this one sentence:

    “The Democratic Party can’t stand the thought of hearing”

    No one can hear the words unless they fund Brock’s campaign, and no Dem wants to do that!

    “the words or ideas of a reform minded Governor”

    LePage is 100% opposite from a ‘reform minded Gov’.

    “elected overwhelmingly in a liberal state”

    38% is NOT overwhelmingly elected.  LePage won because we don’t have Instant Runoff Voting and therefore the liberal vote was split.  Had that vote not been split LePage would have humiliatingly lost with only 38%.

    “who has in just a few short months made the tough decisions”

    He’s made no ‘tough’ decisions.  All he’s done is institute rampant corruption, sold the health care system to the GOP forprofit-system, and intentionally alienate and outrage every person in Maine that doesn’t worship at the altar of Fox ‘News’.

    “necessary to put Maine back on a path to prosperity.”

    LePage has NOT put Maine on the ‘path to prosperity’, he’s put Maine of the path to the deep south, where poverty in intentional, attacks the most poor and starve them to death, cuts workers pay, censors public art, and swears at anyone that dares tell the truth in his presence.

    Jack Lindley is a liar because he’s a Republican. He doesn’t know how to tell the truth.
