Senate Dem candidate goes socialist: Maine candidate Zak Ringelstein congratulates himself on his “courage”

A declaration by the Democrats’ official candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine is proof that the party’s infiltration by hardline socialists is continuing apace as the off-year congressional elections of November approach.

Norton is very unhappy about the congressional fight over the budget, which has the effect of holding up the District’s budget. “District residents are being treated as colonists of the … Continue reading Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-Crazytown)
