Letter: Consider Beshear for the nomination
If we were a GOP campaign consultant, what replacement for Biden would we most fear? How about a centrist Democrat who was reelected governor of Kentucky, a deeply red state? How about a young dad of two, who, along with his wife, is a deacon in his evangelical Christian church? How about a guy with […]
Letter: Benefits of riding the bus
When I take the bus to Portland at the beginning of the workday, I feel refreshed by walking to the bus stop. I’m happy to leave the driving to someone else. I often feel reflective and mellow. It’s hard to feel too self-important riding the bus. These are not experiences I have when I drive […]
Letter: A loaded gun in every room is no joke
I missed how JD Vance’s embrace of extreme gun ownership reflects the American spirit.
Letter: Vote for Harris to preserve democracy
This country should be eternally grateful that a man of integrity currently sits in the Oval Office. Through many personal tragedies, Joe Biden has spent his entire adult life putting country first and has proven that integrity is not lost. He has faced another difficult personal crossroad. Though he feels he has much more to […]
Letter: Political cartoon was appalling
Bob Englehart joins many other political cartoonists and editorial writers in taking yet another cheap shot at President Biden’s age and health in his appalling, insulting and cruel cartoon that was so prominently featured in the Press Herald on July 19. This one was beyond the pale because it made fun of Biden’s recent COVID-19 […]
Letter: Eligible voters should vote while they still can
Here are three reasons why I think that eligible voters should vote: 1. It’s essential to vote while it’s still possible. Seriously! Hundreds of thousands of Americans will be unjustly turned away at the polls this November, as a result of concerted and unconscionable voter suppression efforts around the country. 2. The fewer people who […]
Letter: Editorial cartoon was cruel
Let me add to what I believe should already be a torrent of criticism for your choice of Monday’s (July 22) editorial cartoon. It was cruel, tasteless and demeaning to a man who has given 50 years of his life to public service to his country. Every Democrat respected, admired and some even loved Joe […]
Letter: Where’s the spirit gone from Sea Dogs games?
A recent game held none of the pleasures associated with past visits, including a lack of trash monsters, Slugger antics and concession stands.
Letter: Anti-Trump bias persists in newspaper, letters to the editor
When is this newspaper going to apologize to its readers and President Trump? Even after an assassination attempt on Trump, you continue to print letters to the editor filled with nothing but hate for him. Letter writers make multiple accusations of him lying, but there are no facts to support their claims. I suggest you […]
