Comment on As a mainer, and a progressive, this is like the ending to "Ol' Yeller."

I usually will take the women’s side in cases like this. But come on the timing of this just seems like a hit job and it could be either Republicans or Democrats doing it.

I do feel you but there’s fighting dirty like them and then there is abandoning our standards. If we abandon our principles than we are no better than they are.
