Watch this and you will see why the RATs and RINOs are terrified of Sarah’s popularity and terrified of Sarah because she’s not corrupt like they are and she loves this country and the American people. Snowe and her ilk are TOAST.

Regime change in 2010 and 2012 just like Todd Beamer’s father asked for. We The People are going to clean the sewer that is the US Congress.

The choice is between a sincere, principled, conservative woman and a phony tax and spend liberal who switches sides over and over and stands for nothing. If I had to trust one of them, I would trust Sarah. Senator Snowe is totally untrustworthy and changes from day to day.

What’s truly sad is that I finally gave up on the link you posted when it hadn’t loaded after I left the ‘puter, got into my bedclothes, wee-weed, washed up, played with the dog for a bit, then came back.

Oh, I’m on ADSL, not dialup...

d’ya think that Bloomberg might not like us?

(see previous)

Just for snits and giggles, it took less than 12 seconds for my previous post to show up, after waiting over 7 minutes for Bloomberg.

What a joke.

The money quote from author and CFR troll Amity Shlaes, as she gloats over formerly rock-ribbed, independent-minded Maine's becoming a socialist basket-case:

Maine is near the top of the list, rather than the bottom, when it comes to Mercatus’s “personal freedom” measure, ranking No. 2 among states for its liberal treatment of medical marijuana, gaming, and the use of firearms. One can see this contrast in rank as a negative for the Pine Tree state. Mainers have many rights, but not so many responsibilities.

Tut-tut, too many freedoms. Time to start getting real, little people. Me up here (on the CFR). You down there.

It remains only for Shlaes to start arguing in detail for the elimination of all those freedoms "we" can't afford -- "social costs" don't you know -- to show what a perfect East German socialist troll she is.

Native Mainers vote overwhelmingly conservative, so it pisses me off when people who have never lived here lump natives with the rejects that settle here.

The reason Snowe gets elected is the explosive diarreah-like onslaught of liberal idiots who move here from MA, NY, CT, NJ, and the like.
