"Maine" is like .3% of the US population.
The ENTIRE US GOP HOUSE caucus representing the entire country voted against this.
These 2 beasts will eventually have to answer for their arrogance.
The GOP has tolerated these 2 and will remain a minority party as long as action is not taken against them.
Shocking.

Snowe and Collins, who pride themselves as being centrist Republicans ... have time after time voted or taken positions that are counter to the principles of their own party.It's time they were fired.

I hear you, and I’ve gone a step further. I give to individual candidates whom I’ve personally researched and found sound (i.e. HARD RIGHT).

They have to check the water in Maine. A “R” stamped over a hammer and cicle in washable ink does not a Republican make!

These two senators have betrayed an entire generation of Americans. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it were only the GOP they betrayed(as usual).

Operation Clean Sweep RINOS such as Collins and Snowe (and Specter, and Graham) do the GOP and our great Country more harm as "Republicans" than they would as Dems.
Let's encourage states with RINO Congress peeps to field some strong conservatives (VETERANS PREFERRED), and pry the RINOS out of the GOP at the next available primary.

It's time they were fired. These two are prime examples of why I donate to the candidates of MY choice rather than the NRC.

The Bangor Sisters..groupies to the Dems.
To: Seaplaner
We should find viable candidates to run against them and the party should never give them another dime or ounce of help for re-election. And their fellow R Senators should completely alienate them.

Competitive, but in the minority. The Democrats have won the Governorship, for example, with just a plurality (38% in ‘06). We got 45% in the 1st district for Congress in November for an open seat (and that lady is a world-class moonbat). We were one seat away from winning the State Senate from ‘07-’09, but slipped back 2 seats (but still 3 seats away from control now, quite “doable”). In the State House, we were just 1 seat away from the majority prior to the ‘06 elections, but have slipped down since.

In Presidential Elections not well. 2nd district (Northern) more conservative. Portland is liberal and southern coastal is moonbat territory.
State legistlature-especially the state house is overwhelmingly Democrat

Will never happen.

Like your state, and the people, unlike those further south, are nice. I see, the building along the coast, however, and I gather that Massaachusetts is reannexing your state.
