Snowe and Collins throw our pre-911 disabled vets under the bus, along with Crybaby Voinovich and the Globalist from Indiana. Why do we even call these people Republicans?

All the usual suspects huh? except Graham. Guess he knows he’s not well liked at this time. Me thinks he will play his “conservative” self for the time being. CO
