I am writing in response to a letter from Mary Jane Newell (Sept. 29) where she accuses liberals of shameful and unacceptable behavior. What is shameful and unacceptable is a president who is an overt racist and misogynist and boasts openly about sexually assaulting women and grabbing their private parts. What is shameful and unacceptable […]

Kavanaugh will be excellent justice
I fully support Sen. Susan Collins’ decision to ask the FBI to conduct a full investigation into Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s past. Becoming a Supreme Court justice is a high honor, and all Americans deserve the chance to learn about any nominee’s past work and character that may impact how he rules on the highest court […]

Keim an advocate for rural Maine
I appreciate the work Lisa Keim is doing in her role as state senator. Her district is very large, and she remains committed to hear residents’ concerns. I recently read on her Facebook page that she has driven more than 3,500 miles since July to visit and listen to her constituents. That is dedication. That […]

The real Trump shows himself, again
It was just recently that President Trump suddenly transformed into the soul of self-restraint and even-handedness when speaking of Christine Blasey Ford, accuser of SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were in high school. Trump claimed to regard her as “a very fine woman,” “a very credible witness,” finding her testimony to […]

Country is in a real mess
There sat Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, sipping Coke and coffee — really calm. And there was Brett Kavanaugh, drinking a gallon of water and visibly shaken. Who is telling the truth? Does it really matter? The executive and legislative branches are in such disarray I doubt that they will ever get anything accomplished. And will […]

Fortunately, we have Jared Golden
A pro-Trump, out-of-state PAC has pledged $1 million to help Bruce Poliquin be re-elected to Congress. What may sound strange is that Poliquin has never publicly endorsed Trump. However, to many who have tried to meet with Poliquin, or get a response on important issues, this is not a surprise. He refuses to publicly take […]

Resorting to shaming gains little
This is in response to Mary Jane Newell (Sept. 29), “Democrats filled with hate.” Once again, Newell submits one of her poison-penned screeds castigating anyone not in lock step with her political beliefs. What dismays me most about her pernicious persistence is her penchant for assigning shame on Democrats. My grandmother had this saying I’ve […]

Collins has consistent code of ethics
These are the things I look for in a political candidate: Honesty; a consistent code of ethics; someone willing to stay the course of his or her convictions and vote accordingly; someone who supports education, better wages and health care for all; someone who is compassionate, intelligent, a good listener and who is willing to […]
