    Default This Will Be Susan Collins' Legacy

    It took Susan Collins almost an hour of bullshit, disingenuous, pandering blather before she revealed, less than shockingly, she would betray Mainers, women and decency with her Kavanaugh vote - this, after thousands of heartsick, enraged Mainers endlessly wrote, called, visited, protested, chanted outside her office and otherwise pleaded she grow a spine and do the right thing. Instead, wrote faith leaders here, "She has bartered her soul for a 'mess of pottage'....wielding her power against the very people who needed her to fight for them." Now this, it is widely agreed, will be her shameful legacy.

    Susan Collins exhibited the type of deliberation our founders intended with the Senate. She will be re-elected as a result of this brilliant speech.

    I am not willing to forget all the times she was the monkey wrench. Even in the Kavanaugh case she played games. We need to pick up enough seats in the Senate to render her, and Murkowski irrelevant.

    This repugnant lie filled article is a testament to the unethical, despicable, lie filled mentality of the liberal left and the poundmetoo movement.


    By all means, attack Susan Collins for her honesty and ethics. It serves the Republicans well.

    I don't disagree with you; but I'm talking about the founders intent regarding Senate temperament and not partisan politics right now.

    'disingenuous' is definitely the best way to describe that freak

    how any times has she hogged the spotlight doing her tired John McCain 'maverick' kabuki?

    this right wing putsch underway is still rolling, the reactionaries may have just hit critical mass much like Hitler, Mussolini and Franco did, couldn't be stopped by conventional means - the feckless Senate and relatively powerless House aren't enough to pull out of this when the Executive branch is run by an amoral power hungry con man

    Blame Susan Collins until you turn as blue in the face as you are in the balls,but at the end of the day, this was a complete and utter failure of the Democratic Party to lead on an issue. They failed women. They failed justice. They failed due process. They are the epitome of failure. Vote for the Greens or stay home. You are not a progressive if you cast a vote for the establishment GOP-lite party that the DNC has become.

    At least Murkowski stood up for what's right -- sort of.

    Your mysogency aside, Feinstein sat on the story for 3 months. She is a DEMOCRAT. Susan Collins is not. The DEMOCRATS are the ones who waited to release the information at such time and under such circumstances that made it impossible to properly consider it. Collins not being swayed by innuendo does not make her a whore. Your blaming a Republican for a DNC failure makes you one though. Does Soros have you on a regular schedule or does he just pick you up on the corner as needed?
