PORTLAND, Maine – Republican gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage told a group of fishermen at a GOP forum that he won't be afraid to tell President Barack Obama to "go to hell."

LePage, a favorite of tea partiers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he regretted the words he chose Sunday in the small coastal town of Brooksville but that he wasn't backing down in his criticism of the administration for what he describes as free-spending, antibusiness policies.

Eliot Cutler, one of three independent candidates in the race, said LePage's remark about Obama, coupled with his quip during a debate that he'd ask the president "to get out of my state" rather than ask for federal help, demonstrate that LePage is a "crude bully." Obama and his family visited Acadia National Park in July.

And not one complaint when bush ran the debt up to $11 trillion, but $13 trillion is unacceptable.

1. These Rethugs have a rather flexible conscience, don't they?

Not a peep during 8 years of Dim Son spending billions we didn't have and mortgaging every man, woman and child in this country to grateful Huzzahs! from all the Teabaggers, who have now developed a very acute financial conscience when it comes to Obama trying to pull this country out of the ditch.

2. They are very respectful of a President when their guy is in office, but..

when it's a Democratic President, they can tell him to "go to hell." The height of hypocrisy.

7. he must be trying out for Rahm's job - testing the curse-waters out

8. Like Rahm he needs to use the word "Mother-Fucker" more

3. Why of course it's unacceptable

He's a Dem, and he's black. Bush is Dumb, and he's white. Besides we need war. Look how many jobs it creates. :sarcasm:

I am so sick and tired of the rights bullshit. My brother is having my mom register Repuke. She's 83 and he's basically scaring her into voting R this November. All I can do is point out to her Repukes hate, and they want a nitwit who writes on her hand as Prez. Up is down and down is up I told her.
I also told her to vote her conscience.

4. Don't doubt for a minute that he would...

but at a very safe distance.
