There are still a LOT of conservatives in Maine - but the 'big cities', particularly Portland, have been, over the last 40+ years, infiltrated by liberal flatlanders. They have taken over the 'cities', the largest of which would be, with about 62,000, considered a 'town' in most states.
During the '08 election, I took a trip 'up home' from I now live to further north in the state - a long rural route.
There were, of course, election "flowers" on lawns everywhere - but I saw only ONE for obama/biden.
Problem has been that conservatives respect individual rights and therefore tend to live and let live.
That is how the libs, who think it's their right, due to their self perceived superiority, to chose what is right for all of us, get the upper hand.
They didn't factor in that, although conservatives tend to be mellow, there comes a tipping point where they say: "That's enough." and come out swinging.
We have reached that tipping point - FINALLY
I don’t know Maine anywhere near as much as you do. I’ve been here a short time. And some of the stuff here is crazy.
I really do think that the Democrats want to completely depopulate most of the state, turn the land over to the Nature Conservancy, and they’ll end up using it for themselves.
What is this “stewardship” idea? What are “stakeholders”?
It seems like when anybody wants to do anything, there’s a long fight with Leftists who have apparently become “stakeholders” in something or other.
And what is this whole wild nature obsession?
Anyway, I really like the new message from the Maine Republican Party.
