Snowe and other veteran Republicans at the convention said that the platform itself did not drive campaigns and instead represented a set of values and principles that candidates could pick and choose from.

That sounds similar to the socialist thinking the U.S. Constitution is a living breathing document giving them, in their own minds, justification to pick and choose or alter those parts that best fit their agenda.

Maine Republicans should “pick and choose” from among the Senate candidates—choose to send the “pickers and choosers” like Collins and Snowe into retirement, like Nevada Republicans did with Bennett. What a line from Snowe: “I spit on your grassroots changes to the platform, I don’t need your stink’n new platform, rubes, I’ll do what I please and you can just pound sand” is what she and her “veterans” are saying.

The grass rooters should shovel it back in her face.
