Listen, I know that I am not playing fair by putting up actual FACTs....I understand that we should all just swallow the spin and move on. Thing is, it is killing Maine, and it is killing our economy and our country.

This has to end. People have to stop listening to the crap that comes out of themedia and start doing their homework.....and dumping the politicians that are not what they pretend to be....

We need honesty. We need CHANGE.

Obama won Maine handily, but Susan Collins cremed your guy like I knew he would. Bottom line, you run a hateful campaign against someone people like and you will get voted down in flames.

[oneangrymainer]

You need to actally check the Congressional Record on her voting record, and throw away USA Today and all the spin pubs you're obviously getting your info from. That's what makes me so furious >>> the sheer amount of misinformation and nonsense spewed that allows politicians like Collins to portray themselves as moderates, meanwhile, behind the curtain they are literally nuking the middle class of this country. Read, Check, Verify for YOURSELF.

Poor oneagrymainer! I lived in Maine up until two years ago and have been a registered Democrat all my life. Susan Collins is not a blind follower of the Republican party or George Bush. She is a moderate who has voted with the Dem's on many occasions. As for your anger I hope you find a way to get it under control it. May I suggest you consider moving out of Maine since most of what is wrong with Maine's economy can be traced to the Democratic party's 30 plus years of control in Augusta.

[oneangrymainer]

All non Mainers, please disregard the message below. Most the people of Maine are not naive, blind followers, or the just plain old sheep the Republican party hopes and prays we are. Susan Collins is a REPUBLICAN who has VOTED IN LOCKSTEP to support the Bush Administration's policies over the last several years.....except on a few "throw 'em some crumbs" populist legislation.
