At Press Conference, Bruce Poliquin Lashes Out at Emily Cain
Source: Maine Public Broadcasting Network
Republican 2nd District U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin lashed out at his Democratic opponent today during a tour of the General Electric Turbine plant in Bangor.
In a speech in which he promoted his job creation strategies and support of small businesses, Poliquin accused former state lawmaker Emily Cain of favoring big government and voting against Maine businesses. Cain says Poliquin needs to check his facts.
The Maine tradition of delaying political attacks on opponents until after Labor Day has pretty much expired in the states 2nd Congressional District, where Poliquin is attempting his first re-election bid. During a tour of the GE plant in Bangor, Poliquin called a press conference to accept an endorsement from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his work to help protect Maine jobs, grow the economy and create a better business climate. Then he let loose on his Democratic challenger Emily Cain.
My opponent believes government should be bigger, more intrusive, more expensive with more red tape and higher taxes, all of which kill jobs, Poliquin says.

(6,496 posts)He's trying to let my husband know what an awesome job he doing in the House. I never get any letters from Poliquin though. I guess I'm not worth his time/money because I'm a registered Democrat. My husband is not registered with any party so he is fair game. I keep telling my husband that's the price you pay for being Independent. Everyone is going to try to pander to you.
