Sens. Murkowski and Collins: We will remind your constituents how you voted on Betsy DeVos
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/05/17 | Herman Cain

And we have looooooong memories

I hear that Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, both Republicans who have decided to oppose the nomination of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education, take a lot of money from teacher unions.

That’s unusual for Republicans, but they’re unusual Republicans. They’re by no means conservative on many issues, and whenever an effort is underway to pass an important conservative legislative priority, these two are usually among the most nervous and hard-to-persuade Republican senators.

Interesting that two female Senators are having a PMS attack over another woman nominee for Education, Betsy Devos.They do not like Devos because she has attained great success as a woman, jealousy has no place in the confirmation process.

We will be sure to remind the Senators’ constituents how they voted on Betsy Devos.

If that’s all the integrity she has left, then it’s time for Susan to go back to Caribou where she belongs. Collins Street misses her.

It won’t hurt Collins. She around 70% plus approval in a state with a large far-left segment.

The vote that mattered was their vote to push to senate floor. Now it’s all for show as republicans just need 50

Collins and Murkowski are two of the GOPe that must be dealt with. Getting Trump elected was just the start.

Now, we must either purge the GOP of the GOPe, or start a new Party, one for We the People. It will go head-to-head with the DC UniParty for the soul of this Republic.

I suspect Murkowski stole her election. Joe Miller beats her in the Primary so she does a write in campaign in the general...and wins.

These two RINOettes need to be reminded that they aren’t the only two to be elected to Congress.

Murkowski may be vulnerable because Alaskans are free thinkers. But Susan Collins owns Main. They know nothing but to vote for her and will do so until she dies in office.

Loss of all committee assignments and chair positions.

No re-election support from RNC or Senate Republicans.

Federal goodies stop flowing to their respective states.

IRS investigations into both, their family and business interests, and their donors initiated.

President Trump actively campaigns against both during Republican primaries.

That’s OK Lisa and Susan. The rest of us will be here to remind your constituents how you voted as well.

Happy primary ...

Dear Senators, please DO remind constitutents how your colleagues voted on deVos.
deVos looks like a very good nominee and she has some excellent points to make how to fix the abysmal “public education system”

where so many, many high school graduates don’t know much at all about math, science, English, economics, American political science or history. Also, almost no employable job skills...

let’s see what DJT and deVos can do to break the stranglehold on our children’s educations!

Not sure it will hurt Murkowski either. She was elected in Dec. to
her 3rd term as Senator. Lots to happen before her next election.

"I suspect Murkowski stole her election. Joe Miller beats her in the Primary so she does a write in campaign in the general...and wins."

The first thing you see when looking at Lisa is the "For Sale" sign.

She is owned by Big Money in Alaska - Unions and the Native Corps.

I will give her this - she is an **Honest Politician**. An Honest Politician is best described as one that stays bought....

They are nothing but dems who claim to be GOP, so the moronic GOP "leadership" will finance their campaigns. Both have been disloyal for a long time, with absolutely no reprecussions.

That’s what I was thinking. Neither of these are first termers by any means. I would say they dio indeed represent their constituents.

But the same state still elected Paul LePage TWICE as governor, the most conservative governor in the country.

The “far-left” segment in mostly in southern Maine, aka North Massachusetts.

Collins keeps getting re-elected because the democraps run far left moonbats which make Collins look good in comparison, even though she sucks.

I myself wrote in someone else in 2014. I can’t stand Collins.

Collins is the best we can do. Alaskans had their chance with the Polak. Blame the voters.
