Collins is an independent choice for U.S. Senate
Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel 12/18/2007

The 2008 election comes at a critical time in the history of the United States and the world. I strongly endorse Susan Collins for U.S. Senate because I believe she is the candidate best able to address the profound challenges we face as a country. I trust her integrity and independent voice, moving outside the partisan politics of the current Congress.

Sen. Collins has always put the needs of her constituents first and remained outside the Beltway mentality of business as usual. She has continuously submitted legislation based on the need of our state and country, displaying unprecedented integrity.

Sen. Collins has consistently championed the improvement of the federal government, from reforming the intelligence community, founding of the Senate Diabetes Caucus and leading an inquiry into the government response to Hurricane Katrina.

By reelecting Collins, Maine can show its independent spirit to our country and the world, respect for individual differences, compassion for the underprivileged and strong resolute leadership.

Obviously Jack and Mark haven't been following Susie's VOTES very closely...only her press releases. She certainly wants to keep Mainers from learning that she sponsored S. 1959.report abuse

Here's what JM is smoking:

Ooopsie! Ole Suzie-Q is a jackboot licker (loyalist) of George Bush's policies. She's voted for 80% of his disastrous policies while Tom Allen has less than 5%!

She is not a moderate and the fact that Cotta of FairPoint (you now...the company that wants to buy Verizon and screw us all over!) loves her is not surprising! I bet ole Cotta loves torture, loves the idea that Suzie has received money from MBNA and fought hard for the Bankruptcy bill (can you say LOBBYISTS?), and all those tax cuts that benefited the top 5% of our country!

I bet.

I will be voting for Mainers and our country when I cast my vote for Tom Allen to replace Maine's jackboot licker.report abuse

Jack is dead-on, there have been many times Senator Collins has gone with what she felt was right and not with party opinion.

But hey, the spin-doctors from now until they close the polls will preach that the good Senator is just a puppet for our President.report abuse
