Maine lawmaker asked to resign

A Democratic rep from Waldoboro, Maine has been asked by the Speaker of the House (a Democrat) to resign after allegations surfaced that he violated Maine's Clean Elections Act by forging signatures that enabled him to receive public funding for his campaign.


This is how it should be done. No hype, no hysteria and no partisanship. Follow the rule of law.

Please note, for those who do wish to make it partisan, a Republican has also been referred by the Commission on Governmental Ethics for the same breach. He, however, was not elected.

The question is what would happen if he refused?

Sounds like the Maine Democratic leadership has integrity. Lying is not acceptable.

Virtually all of those things have been discussed already on this forum, and most are misrepresentations, distortions or outright lies.

Why don't you start a thread to discuss the things on that list?

You, of all the posters past and present on this site, are in the worst position for calling out other people's lies. You are simply not qualified to do so.
 
Please note, for those who do wish to make it partisan..
Sorry but democrats crying about "rule of law" just rings shallow and we've moved on to Hillary's politics of personal destruction.

Rule of law, shifty and fart boy will not be on any congressional committee is the rule of the moment, it's a daily adjustment as the attack requires.

Reminiscing over political "fairness" and reasoned debate seems really quaint.

I'm afraid you've started a political war and I don't see either side giving in.

Notice a man fully lied and was elected to Congress and people didn't blink an eye. What normally would get universal derision, a lying congressman, boys are girls with weiners, is now just something to rub in people's faces. Good times.

No one is crying here. This is simply an example that governance can occur without the hysteria by simply doing what should be considered right by both sides.

It's hardly reminiscing. It's actually happening as we speak.

I have? By pointing to a bit of civility in chaos?

You can argue over your examples, sure.
 
I'm merely presenting it as an example of what can happen when politicians do their jobs the way they are supposed to without the partisan rancor.
Partisan rancor has just started. Let's let it stew for about a decade and maybe they will call a truce?

Sure, rational reasoned debate over policy sounds really cool in an environment where drunken sailors spend anything they can get their hands on, where your pronoun use is important for your job and you've passed out impeachments like candy.

But you've proven something anyway, it doesn't seem like a truce is happening any time soon. You can hope for one I guess.

They've been discussed...and you're still lying.

Not ONE is a misrepresentation. Some are outright libel. We even showed you what the obscure ones referred, and you trivialized the lies...because lying about Trump is not only acceptable, it's required. ANYONE in politics, right or left, right now will be skewered for a positive report on Trump. That's why it's so fun to post here and watch the well trained squirm.

Why don't you start a thread to discuss the things on that list?
No need. They're all true. Why don't you start a thread and attempt again to trivialize lies, as long as they concern keeping Trump from office, and sabotaging free and fair elections?
