I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy.

I don't think that anyone's above reproach, that's my point.

Not to many interviews start out with that tenor eh?

How much "latitude" do you think Hillary would have gotten if she had responded to "pizzagate" in the same fashion?

He is a partisan hack.
And Susan Collins is as well.

Since when is giving money to a political opponent "bribery"? Of course it isn't. She's a smart lady, she knows better, so I conclude she's lying. Her whining about the $3.5 mil raised against her is pretty rich considering she supported Citizens United. I guess giving freely to political causes is protected free speech but not when it's to Democrats, eh?

the answer to your question is actually pretty simple Elliott_CA. If Collins were a dem and the bribery had been done by a conservative group, YOU would be here decrying the illegal act.


the fact is Collins is attacked for not doing what PROGS demand. and its bribery. they bribed her. period.

But raising an issue sure got him off this senate judiciary committee. Franken's absence made Collin's job easier.

Thanks for that reminder.

She was all about "guilty before proven innocent" with Franken, wasn't she?

She should be ashamed.
But I've little confidence that that sort of introspection will ever occur to her.

Don't have an opinion on Collins one way or the other but just because people tried to extort her and failed, I really wish that she soundly defeats her to defeat her opponent in the next election.

McConnell made the remarks after he and others in the GOP leadership had lunch with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a potential swing vote to put Kavanaugh on the high court.

I heard that she was told to vote YES or else. I did respect her for thinking independently but she failed in that vote.

failed.... that's silly. she did what she tought was right and gave a brilliant speech in the process.


I get you are upset and I agree that from your perspective she did the wrong thing but if you are sitting where im sitting, it was far from failure.


the problem you guys on the prog side of the divide have is everything for you is either do as you demand or you are evil .


we aint buying your snake oil any longer

Collins was plenty righteous about Franken, then blasted "dark money" in her deranged ramble.

Seems a dark money group has launched six figure ad campaign thanking her for voting for Kavanaugh.

Yet, nary a peep out of Collins.

Collins has always positioned herself as an independent Republican. Now that she has voted in lockstep with Republicans on Kavenaugh and the payday tax scam got to wonder if she will drop the "independent" part.
