Thank Democrats For Maine Losing An Embarrassing 250th Fair Fight To Pennsylvania

Mainers need to rally and overrule the Democrat killjoys who refused to sponsor a booth at the Great American State Fair in Washington.

Otherwise, Pennsylvania may wind up stealing the spotlight with its own “Spirit of 250” exhibit.

“Pennsylvania’s found a way to get Pennsylvania to the State Fair,” says James Fisk, an avid follower of The Maine Wire. “Are there any Mainers who can get Maine there since our state government refused to participate?”

Fisk raises a great question which was prompted when he read that Pennsylvania’s bipartisan congressional delegation overruled party pooper Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro and organized a booth at the fair.

Shapiro and his Maine Democrat counterpart, Gov. Janet Mills aka Debbie Downer – along with a number of other Democrat states boycotting Trump’s Fair – are too full of hate for President Trump to lead their states to the expo market America’s 250th birthday.

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA, joined with his GOP colleague, U.S. Sen. David McCormick, to help organize a booth at the fair, which runs through July 10.

“Pennsylvania is where America’s story began, and there was no way we were going to let the Commonwealth go unrepresented during our Nation’s 250th birthday celebration,” McCormick said in a press release. “As the birthplace of American independence, home to the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg, and the engine for the arsenal of democracy, Pennsylvania has a special responsibility to preserve, celebrate, and share that enduring legacy.”

The senators’ partner organizations include the PA Chamber, PennAg, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, NFIB, the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association, and the Manufacturer & Business Association.

“Celebrating America’s 250th birthday and Pennsylvania’s special role in our country is important and bipartisan,” said Fetterman. “We discovered our Commonwealth wasn’t participating in the Great American State Fair on the National Mall and we should be.”

Mills, aka, “Debbie Downer” should be called “Debbie Dirtbag” instead. What a miserable, petulant, embarrassing loser!!

Maine democratic leaders could care less about Maine industry. Good jobs deserting the State top to bottom. The counties are now empty and quiet. Pride Sports, central Maine gone. Lumbra Lumber, Central Maine gone. Moving south. Mills and lying buddies abandoned Mainers due to their incompetence and arrogance. And the point? What embarrassments to us all.

I am watching Fox News this morning as they broadcast live from“ The Fair “ today , and I am thinking the same thing .
I’m sorry to report that Maine has started to morph into a place that I no longer recognize .
If the voters of Maine can’t change the course of this state in November , I am leaving .
I’ve seen enough lawn signs . I’ve heard enough platitudes . I’ve endured enough disappointments .
I have suffered enough fools , and in my face , political corruption insanity in Augusta .
I am getting myself mentally prepared to leave the state I love .

TDS continues to push the already fuct-in-the-head illiberal Marxo-fascist democrats of Maine toward shooting themselves (and the rest of us, unfortunately) in the foot.

And what is the reason to miss the state fair…..Is it because Gov Mills is embarrassed by her behavior along with her TDS?? So the state goes unrepresented at this historic event. How terrible!

The Maine Tourism , Maine Chamber of Commerce were to busy to go? It is not like we did not have enough notice to make sure we could have a good showing. Shame on our so called State leaders on both sides of the aisle. The GOP could have manned the booth too. Our State has become such a joke of a State.

Why would out government leaders be proud of the state? They don’t want to show off because they have ruined Maine and don’t want any coverage of the state.
