Bolduc complains that “the idea of governance that has emerged on both sides is name calling.” This comes from a person who, when mounting a failed bid to represent our state in the U.S. Congress, ran an advertisement in which he stated, “I didn’t spend my life defending this country to let a bunch of liberal, socialist pansies squander it away.” Bolduc worries ...
