“There is nothing about this skinhead lesbian that impresses me and there is nothing that she has to say unless you’re a frothing at the mouth moonbat,” he wrote.

This nasty (and incredibly stupid) creep was running totally unopposed.

The Lewiston Democratic Party new candidate's name will apparently be announced today. Yet another decency campaign, likely, created by an indecent Republican.

was closed down shortly after this particular gem was deleted. Unfortunately, because that's probably not the only insight he's been offering into his lousy character. Apparently he also attacked a fellow Republican pol, Amy Volk, on line.

after all, Trump's always gotten away with it?

Frankly, this also sounds like any of a bunch of jerks I've known every year of my adult life, which has been sadly lived in conservative communities.

bald-faced liar (about a comment on the NRA owning Republican pols), and I think it was David he called a moron as well.

David's got a big voice these days. Maine Democrats were already on the move, but this is certainly a good healthy kick for a new campaign.

This appears to be a small, rural district, with a Republican incumbent. GOP and Dem registrations are evenly split, but most are registered independent. Of course, almost all indies usually tend to lean and vote with little difference from if they belonged to a party, but I've read that they are, not unexpectedly, less loyal. Suggesting this state legislature seat may well go blue.

has managed to delude so many people into believing we're not just bad but as bad as them, no choice.

This suggests we will be mounting another vote-for-decency campaign:

Sun Journal: “The people of Androscoggin County deserve better than someone who lobs disgusting attacks at children who have survived the unimaginable,” said Elaine Makas, the county Democratic chairwoman.

“We should come together to say enough is enough, to reject this bigotry and hatred, and to show that this type of ideology has no place in Maine — but especially in the State House,” Makas said.


Given that even some people come here to DU are soaked in their Kool-Aid and can't see we're the white hat people, I think we should pound that message. Decency and good sense.

Someone who's studied the development of evil governments for 40 years suggested we should watch out for it by keeping our eyes open for mean people. Today's Republican government is taken over by meanness.

We now should go High.! That seems to be working in the last elections.

Concentrate on what we will do for the people. Let the haters splutter out their bile.

Conor Lamb did that in his election. So did Doug Jones. The pus is oozing out of the haters.
