It is like the Gov. of Maine goes out of his way to be an awful SOB.

I just read this over at Huffington Post:

Paul LePage Breaks A Woman’s Heart By Skipping The Line To Adopt The Dog She Wanted

Hannah Arsenault had her heart set on adopting a cute 2-year-old Jack Russell terrier mix she saw on the local shelter’s website. Arsenault, 22, recently suffered a sexual assault and told the Lewiston-Auburn Sun Journal that she hoped the pup, named Jasper, would provide some much-needed emotional support.


...snip...

But on Tuesday night, she noticed that the organization had posted a photo of Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) with that very same dog.


I bet that LePage was actually happy that this happened after he found out even if he didn't do it intentionally, because he is that awful of a person.

Look at this awfulness from the Hillary group:

They are insulting Sanders for having a child not with his current wife.... I will just leave it at that.

So, coal is temporarily okay....

For Clinton until Tuesday, then will be bad again Wednesday?

But, Clinton never flip flops for political reasons...

A well done speech...

That is a legendary speech by a person that doesn't care about winning or losing, but cares about what he believes in. There are no snarky comments about how he is better, no comments that pander to the next voting bloc or group. It is just a great speech by someone that knows they probably will not win (though I hope he does).

The other candidates could nor would give a similar speech. It is up to Hillary to prove this wrong. He did not once praise himself, did not spew out platitudes, he outlined what he has said for the last 30 years.

It is now her turn.

So these are our likely options come November:

A warhawk that was against LGTB rights in the 90s and the 2000s, was pro black incarceration, and is pro trade agreement and had a powerful oil executive recently back this person.

And

A warhawk that wants to reduce our military, that was pro LGBT in the 90s and 2000s that just became anti-lgbt, has always been pro black incarceration, is anti-trade agreement and was overtly disavowed by a powerful oil executive.

Which is about Hillary and which is about Trump?

This is nauseating.

I know I shouldn't encourage them....

But look at how this person has ignored everything I have said, then accused me of attacking Hillary in a manner that I never did.

It starts at post 4.

So, is this what Hillary means when she refers to supporting the down ticket?

It looks like Mayor Bill De Blasio illegally financed some Democratic candidates in NY and now is being investigated...

So, please explain to me how why we question how party funds are laundered... Err I mean donated is not a legitimate issue again...

Does anyone remember the Rector case?

If you don't know what I am talking about let me post this:




Notice how Clinton says he is strong against crime and wants to expand the death penalty


Now, watch this:



That is a law professor explaining the Ricky Rector case. Ricky Rector killed s police officer then shot himself and, because of his wounds, had an IQ of 70ish and was not competent to stand trial.
In sum, the end result was that Bill Clinton, for political reasons, decided to execute mentally deficient man to show he was tough on crime.

To be fair, he was obviously guilty and killed a cop but he may not have been mentally component to stand trial. And there is anecdotal evidence that after his last meal, Rector asked the guards to save his dessert for him.

Since I have seen the Sanders isn't a Democrat meme pop up a lot the last few days here...

Someone please tell me where in his record does it indicate he has been against the Democratic party:
