The Maine senator collected kudos from President Obama for her role in moving the controversial legislation forward.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins was the only Republican on the stage for yesterday's signing of the bill repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays in the military, and one of only two Republicans at the ceremony.

Collins, who played a major role in moving the legislation forward, collected kudos from President Obama. "I want to thank Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins," he said, to cheers from the attendees.

Collins says there was no reason for the U.S. military to continue banning gays. "Great Britain, Australia, the Israelis--some 28 countries allow openly gay and lesbian men and women to serve."

Collins says it will take some time to implement the change, but she says it is needed.

Apparently, it has become the goal of our elected officials to make the United States just like Great Britain, Australia and Isreal, etc.

What a bunch of undistinguished empty suits.

[Rome2000]

Great idea letting a state with .003% of the US population basically ursurp the will of the vast majorly .

Payback is a bitch, and its coming.

Collins says it will take some time to implement the change, but she says it is needed.

Why is it needed? Were we lagging the other Superhomo Powers?

[b4its2late]

She’s a strange duck.

Hi! I'm Senator Collins from Maine.
Democrat control of the Senate and the election
Barack Obama have allowed me to let my inner RINO wild
while I pretend to be conservative to "moderate." (He ... he.)
I'm up for reelection in 2014.

Ah, Collins. Isn’t she the one with the vampire cousin and the big old house haunted by sea widows?

[Cisco Nix]

I was looking through the C’s in the dictionary and saw her picture.

UN bordered on two sides by Connecticut

Hi! I'm Senator Collins from Maine.

I'm up for reelection in 2014.

And we'll be waiting!

[Cheerio]

Payback is a bitch, and its coming.

And don't forget RINO Brown. How is Collins every going to be primaried in that state? About as much hope of that as in MA and DE.

[freekitty]

Susan “TRAITOR” Collins.

[clamper1797]

She and her fellow RINO sister from Maine need to go. Unfortunately the Mainiacs seem to keep electing them ... must be something in the lobster up there

[EGPWS]

Ah, Collins. Isn’t she the one with the vampire cousin and the big old house haunted by sea widows?

[JohnG45]

And don't forget RINO Brown.

And he is up first in 2012. Right?

We should marshal every resource we have as Freepers to rid the Senate of this spineless weasel.

[MinuteGal]

Link didn't work for me.

Who was the "other Republican" at the ceremony but not on stage?

Sen. Arlen Brown (RINO, MA)?

Leni

I think we should ALL pray that she gets everything she has coming

[Quickgun]

Hell, we may need some “human shields” in coming wars. I suggest using fags. Let the enemy get spattered with AIDS infected blood when they blast ‘em. Other than that,I see no real use in fags in fags in the military. Are they going to teach hand to hand bitch slapping in the marines now? Sick crap...

[Quickgun]

Damn..Just seeing that picture of so called “leaders” cheering over queers, with the country in the shape it’s in...Does anyone think elections are going to solve this? Just wondering....
