Maybe the GOP is getting it together. This dovetails off of the Scott Brown win were some pollsters data noted the folks in MA were more livid about KSM coming to NY for a trial than even health care.

Must be getting pretty bad out there for Obama when people of his own Progressive party are doing GOP Weekly radio address’s.

You mean, Susan Collins, the RINO from Maine? That, Susan Collins? Amazing!!!

She is right, spot on with her comments. Is it possible that even RINO's are awake and speaking out?

Miss Susan the preschool teacher smacks down obama on national security? LOL! There goes her dinner invite to the WH.

Elections do have consequences, don’t they.

The good senator asks early on how we got to this point. Someone should hand her a mirror and point out the reason. Simply because she is right on one point doesn’t mean this RINO is cause for celebration. She and Maine’s other week kneed sister are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

And......she is not up for re-election for 5 more years. She must be stating this for reasons other than her own gain. Could she really be a little bit conservative?

Let this be a lesson to our side. There are certain areas of the country which are overrun by liberals, like here in Maine, and the best we can hope for is someone like Collins. A true conservative would never get elected here, like it or not. It may not be perfect nationally, but I’ll take Collins or Snowe, because, Number One, they vote for a Republican as Senate Leader, not Harry Reid. Everything else is gravy.

A lot of pundits thought the Dems were going to take her seat in 2008 because of the Obama tidal wave. Fortunately for Collins her opponent was about as competent as Martha Coakley.

This administration sucks at national security.

The average American does not like the idea of being attacked. If the Dems seem weak on national security, that will hurt them at the polls.

Here's another fine mess Janet has gotten them in to.

We spend a LOT of time here beating up the Maine twins, but we also know that Health Care, Cap and Trade, and Amnesty would already be Obama trophies...had those seats been held by Democrats.

Anyway, that’s not my point - Olympia Snowe should have responded to Obama’s State of the Union speech. And she should have said something to the effect that you can go to ANY conservative in the Republican Party and ask if she (Olympia) is a Fire-Breathing Extremist...and they would say HELL NO, she’s a moderate at best (along with her twin, McCain, and a few others in the Senate).

YET - she voted against cloture on health care (along with the other moderates in the Senate)...the bill was THAT BAD. And then just take one aspect - the time bomb - which is that you cannot deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. No different than letting you wait until your house burns down before buying insurance to cover the fire (or hurricane). It was designed to EXPLODE the existing system of health care in this country, and SHE could say it with credibility, whereas Jim Inhofe would have a tougher time (not that I have a problem with Jim...it’s just that he’s a proven conservative). In other words, if she’s lining up with us, we need to get her out in public beating the daylights out of Obama and the rest of the Dems.

She’s probably our best weapon (for as long as she stays with us).
