And behind this curtain…
Remember
the old days when there were journalists?
Ah, the days of the intrepid investigator digging and searching with
dogged determination for who, what, why, where and when. Like a hound on the trail, the steely
sleuth would stay on the scent of truth unswerving until truth was exposed
regardless of who and what it uncovered.
Remember those days?
Neither can I.
The
days of an objective media have long since passed into the filmy ghostly
memories of the ancient history of Maine.
Those with better memories than mine assure me that there was a time
when the raising of a question would be followed by a gathering of facts to
ascertain, yes that word again, truth.
This almost sounds like it could be defined as research, which is a word
that sends a collective shudder down the spines for some of the Maine
media. To the rest who claim to be
reporters, the word research elicits a blank stare.
The
Democrat Party has been able to utilize one most effective tool against
Governor LePage to hide any of his accomplishments, the curtain of media
silence. The lack of job growth in
the national economy has provided damning evidence against the business and
fiscal policies of the Obama administration and the Democrat Party as a
whole. Conversely, here in the
State of Maine, Governor LePage has experienced surprisingly quick success in
job creation despite the obstructionist tactics of the Democrat Party and their
allies in the moderate wing of the Republican Party. The Democrats have smugly asked, “Where are all the jobs?”
yet all the while holding the curtain of media silence tightly over the
evidence of job creation here in our State. This was sadly apparent in the recent announcement of the
two new mills in the Millinocket area.
Yes,
the media has sold its integrity for an agenda. With its lips tightly sealed against the truth, the
media seems to have a vested interest in returning to the job killing policies
of the 40-year tenure of Democrats.
It now falls to us, the foot soldiers of this Conservative Revolution,
to expose the truth behind the curtain of silence.
“Today’s
announcement would not be possible without the tireless efforts of the
Governor…” This is a quote from Richard Legualt, Senior Managing Partner
Brookfield Asset Management, as he announced the development of mills in the
Millinocket area. Somehow, that
was not part of the media coverage of the event. Mr. Legualt goes on to say “the Governor’s ability to broker
this transaction against the backdrop of current market conditions demonstrates
his commitment to jobs and economic development in the State.” Strange, that was never talked about
either. Perhaps it may be a
little embarrassing to have the “incompetent” conservative Governor “broker”
jobs while, coincidentally, the Democrat messiah in the White House has
brokered nada, nil, nothing for jobs.
Oh, they’re trying to pull that curtain down again. Quick, here are some more facts:
Lewiston
has seen 400 new jobs created this summer.
Tax
Reforms helped the aviation industry in Maine expand and create hundreds of new
jobs.
Brunswick
saw a new manufacturer bring 100 new jobs to their economy.
There
are 18 new jobs in Auburn due to just one regulatory reform.
Thanks
to regulatory certainty and a pro business Governor, thousands of new
construction jobs have sprung up all over this State.
Windham,
Gouldsboro and North Berwick are just some of the towns experiencing job
growth.
And
the Governor hasn’t even had a full year under his belt yet. So while the media prefers to cloak the
truth in silence and commit crimes of omission, we the people must seek the
truth. Go to http://www.mainepeoplebeforepolitics.com/2011/07/where-are-the-jobs/.
Do your own research. Find the truth and then help spread the news. Let’s keep working to Set Maine Free!
