Her DADT and START votes are now a bridge too far. Health Care flirtations and Financial reform gave me indigestion, as did earmarks, but this is as serious as it gets: aiding and abetting our political opponents in an unprecedented un-Americam un-democratic lame-duck cram-down. Those votes make Oly my personal number one electoral target now for 2012. I cannot take the unreliability any more. I would rather see a (D) there from ME (as with CT) than sweat whether she can be wheedled and coerced to see things Rightly.
Somebody please tell me where should I be place my online marketing/technology efforts and/or money to see Oly Snowe challenged and ousted. If we cannot find a national fundraising place online for her specific removal, I will start one of my own.
I saw this, but not sure there is coalescence or if this fellow (no grudge nor brief) is electable, or just another grassroots rushed mistake waiting to happen: http://www.damboiseforsenate.com/
And this: http://paintmainered.ning.com/group/mainersforsnoweremoval OMG the level of web (and spelling) sophisticado is appalling.... I mean really: Ning?
And Maine Refounders on various sub-sites.
ASIDE: Does nobody with conservative credentials understand the web AT ALL? Feel free to call or write if you need help.
Freedom Works and other places have taken no position I can discern. The time is now in the run-up to 2012.
Let me know if it is time for a new site to pass the hat for a challenger to Snowe.
Snowe Removal by Money Bomb if need be.
I would want her defeated in 2012 AT ALL COSTS! PERIOD!
Better to have an enemy that you can see and deal with, than one from within!
I want this B_TCH OUT! PERIOD!

These people got themselves involved with school boards, became selectmen, politicians and so on. See, Maine is a wonderful state but its filled with native Mainers whom these people really hold in contempt. So they decide to grab a piece of power and inflict their enlightened ideas on the populace. Property taxes begin going up, new regulations begin to appear, lots of hand outs for everyone and soon the state is as screwed up as the one the libs left behind.
The southern region of Maine holds the highest population of these liberals ( they are referred to by natives as people “ from away “ ) and basically dictated through the elections what was going on in the state. They really ruined the place. Forbes recently ranked Maine as the worst in the entire nation in terms of being business friendly.
But things are going to change big time in that state. The tea party is very strong and after this last November both houses of the Maine state house and the governorship is now held by Republicans. This has not happened since sometime in the 1960s. Gov. elect Paul Lepage is the real deal - take a chance to read up on this native Mainer. Tough as nails upbringing, real American success story.
Not every person “ from away “ is a liberal. There are any number of fine conservatives who have moved there. However, the vast majority are liberals from Massachusetts, new york, new jersey and so on. The ones I have come in contact with are by far some of the biggest aholes on the planet. I meet them in Boston all the time.
Anyway, I am trying to finish going through the Maine gov web site to determine how many elected dems are native and how many are not. Same thing for the Republicans. I should add that almost every native Mainer I know is a Conservative.
When a RINO wins the primary, vote Democrat. Start from scratch next election. Period. Let the establishment know that it will not be tolerated, and they will fall into line or fail. That is it. I know people say that an R is better than a D everytime, but let’s face it, those people are wrong.
Sure, Dems may control committees and all that, but the only way to a REAL conservative majority is not tolerating fake conservatives.

Thanks for the great summary. My father is a Maine native (born 1925) but hasn’t lived there since the late 40s. He is very conservative. He doesn’t track politics, but it would freak him if he heard how U.S. Senators from Maine stand on the homosexual issue. I’m certain in would be inconceivable to him.
This being a family site and all, do not use bad language when referring to MAssholes. Many of them are serious environmentalists. That means they got a nice house in the woods, but don't want you to have one. But they want a paved road to their door, but no farther. They want daily garbage collection and want you to recycle. They often use the word "Pristine." They work for state government, recruited after "nation-wide" searches by the Baldacci people. They make 5 times as much money as you do. It is difficult to identify to which sex ...exactly ... they belong to. "Gender-Neutral," I think they call it.
You are also quite wrong to say they despise the natives. Some of them are willing to pay as high as $7/hr for a real Maine man to keep their place going for them, their stuff working, and the wood pile topped up. If you do not want to hob-nob with liberals from away, stay 50 miles west of the beach and 100 miles north of South Portland.
I always love meeting these fools here in Boston at a trade show, bar, etc. They come on strong with some lame “ I'm from Maine “ nonsense. I never let on that I grew up in the state. Asking them which high school in Maine they attended always results with a blank stare and silence. Finally you learn their HS was somewhere in Brooklyn or some other place. You can not imagine how much I despise these people. The sneering, smug attitude from these people is enough to push someone over the edge.
Maine will be the place to watch with the Tea Party backed GOP firmly I'm control. Am looking forward to it.
I ain't so sure. The alien species may now outnumber the natives ... a shocking number of whom are now the same post-industrial wastes of air that infest WalMart parking lots coast to coast.
The schools have collapsed in many towns. Young I-pod Video gamers in Maine are now just as tattoo-encrusted and doped up as any LA Gang member.
Of course you are referring to Lewiston/Auburn gang-bangers, right?
Same with Brown in the Peoples Republic of Mass.
The best that you will get.
By golly, I wish it were confined to LA, but I have seen this phenomenon in the most obscure hamlets. Our Maine people are dumbing down fast!
Perhaps the young could be drafted into some sort of new version of the 20th Maine, so's we could teach them something handy ... anything.
New Mexico is schizophrenic when it comes to politics. There are parts of the state that are bright red, and others (mostly the reservations) that are dark blue. It does lean D, and the influx from California isn’t helping - just like other western states that are victims of the lemming migration (here in Idaho we have a few, too).
The first step is to make it clear to the RNC that supporting Snowe is terminal to their fundraising. What is the RNC going to do? host more meet and greets at homosexual events?
A RINO-free GOP might achieve ideological purity, but IMO it would be a party consigned to permanent minority status. Which is another way of saying the Democrat Party will be in permanent majority. Given that Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, Alito, and Kennedy will not serve in perpetuity, conservatives are playing with fire - big time - every day they sit back and allow a Democrat President and a Democrat-controlled Senate to bide their time. If that day ever happens, it is game, set, and match over for conservatives.
A GOP majority needs RINOs, especially in states like Delaware, Connecticut, Maine, and Massachusetts.
Collins and Snowe's ACU ratings in 2009 were identical 48%s ..... just better than Nebraska's Ben Nelson's 44%. (Most of the 'Rats are 25 or below, usu. waaay below. The entire Ohio delegation averaged 30 when I took a rough pass at it, vs. Texas's 55 or so.)
Concurring Texas bump. That did it for me -- that, and the suspicion that she really wanted to run for governor of Texas so she could introduce a state personal income tax for The Interests, who've wanted to move liabilities from their property-tax bills to (what's left of) our incomes for several years. That, and her pro-abort posture of several years' standing.
Kay-must-go bump.
I wouldn't trust the WaPo, either. They're completely political themselves. I wouldn't trust a thing they write. If they told me it's raining, I'd have to go outside and see for myself how badly they're lying to me.
We also need to clean house among the ‘commentator’s’ that Obama relies on to push his unilateral disarmament of the U.S. (The new START treaty is only a part of it): Colin Powell, James Baker, Condoleeza Rice, and of course their idol...Henry Kissinger.
I'm truly surprised that the Commie Cousins rank so high. Seems they're always voting with the Dems.
The entire Ohio delegation averaged 30.... vs. Texas's 55 or so.
We talking the House, or the Senate?
