Yeah he's a cunt but why does his birthplace matter? Plenty of cunts born in Maine. Paul LePage and Janet Mills were both born in Maine. You likely hate one of those kittens based on your hardline take.

Proud of Mills, don’t agree with her much of the time. However, calling the guy who refused to honor MLK day while also blaming Maine’s drug problems on black guys impregnating white girls isn’t what I’d consider much of a “hardline take” and more common decency.

If they both seem the same to you, I’d suggest you look into their policies and personalities a little more.

Lol dude I didn't even put my opinion in here of either of them, just that the take on "being from maine" as a qualifier is bullshit. And your comment kinda proves my point I was making to OP.

You can say it was me getting aggro all you want. You called them both cunts, and set them up as equals. If that’s your take, it says a bit about the value of your opinions.

My opinion: they’re not equal. Not even close. If that means I prove your point or I’m some kind of hardliner, I’ll take it. Making both sides look equally compromised at this point only elevates the reprehensible.

No I didn't. I was just inferring that OP likely considered one of them cunts. And here you continue my point. Which is fine I hold nothing against you

I don't "do" hate. Take a look at the globe, we are all passengers in the same boat. It doesn't mean we have to embrace everyone, but we sure as hell had better try to understand each other - Being born a Mainer carries with it an identifier and I really am proud to say that not all Mainers are alike -

As strong or better than your English language skills it would seem.

If you do represent anything uniquely specific to Maine it's the state's worst qualities...
