Susan Collins (R-ME)

Susan Collins is the poster child for all that is wrong with the Republican party. She is no Conservative and for my money, she's not even a Republican. She never seems to vote with the Rs.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with participation trickling up. But there’s plenty inherently wrong with these morons failing to read the bills and failing to envision or understand the full consequences of their decisions until election time.

With our running-dogs-of-communism media, even the electorate may not understand why we need to throw some of these charlatans out of office. We need another Great Communicator leading the nation. Fortunately, one is running.

Welcome to the USSR. Venezuela. Cuba. Obamaland.

Marxism in your face.

Memphis using Section 8 vouchers moved out the underclass from central Memphis outwards. The crime and other societal dysfunction that plagues downtown Memphis moved out too destroying formerly working class and middle class neighborhoods.

Why, in a supposedly free capitalist country, do we even have a federal department of housing and urban development? Central planning. If they could they would take away privately owned houses and force those families to live in one room like they did in USSR.

This is true all over the country, but the American people don’t know that.

When deciding who to support I always balance the candidates’ conservatism with their likelihood of victory. Then I vote for the candidate with the best ratio. We are a long way out from the election. At this point it appears that Trump is the most conservative candidate with the greatest chance of victory. (between Hillary, a not yet named third party, Gary Johnson, etc...)

Right now it looks like Trump has a decent shot at beating Hillary. He is very liberal on issues of big government power, personal liberty, free markets, religious freedom, sanctity of life, etc... He is conservative on issues of national sovereignty and immigration. A lot can change in 6 months.

He could come out and publicly support even more liberal policies than he already does. He could soften or abandon the conservative rhetoric he has been using. The Democrats could pull the rug out from under Hillary and put up a candidate that polls better than him by 20 points. Who knows.

It’s telling that you didn’t even deny that you now think in “binary” terms (Trump = good / Not Trump = bad) You are no better than the black voters who don’t understand the issues or the policies or the principals but just understand that Democrat = good / Republican = bad. Like them, you will be used. You will become the useful idiot.

Trump is not a deity. He is just a VERY flawed man who currently appears to be the best shot at defeating socialism. That is all.

They do that in CA too. My friend bought a really nice house in a good neighborhood, then after the housing downturn, several houses in her neighborhood were rented out to section 8 from Oakland. Crime, drugs, burglaries and vandalism was soon the norm. They lost value on their house because of it so would have to take big loss to sell.

One of my former taglines was....a modern conservative is a shadow of a wisp of a vertebrate human being.

But, but we had to have a Republican majority in Congress to stop obama and the Democrats sayeth the Republican Party On Boys!

The Democrats and Republicans both crime families, both screwing the people over and accountable to no one.

Well IMHO, your right in your opinion, but I am right in mine...but does that give you the right to say to me what you did?

You are no better than the black voters who don’t understand the issues or the policies or the principals but just understand that Democrat = good / Republican = bad. Like them, you will be used. You will become the useful idiot.

No I don’t think it did...and how do you get around ‘the black voter’ statement...isn’t that a bit over the top? How would you feel if someone said the things you just said to me, you probably wouldn’t like it...but because I have been all over the United States, met a lot of people, in different occupations, I would imagine that your not to well equipped with what people are, what they are saying, what they are doing, the hardships they are facing...

But I have always put myself above a hateful, spiteful group of people by knowing that they just are not educated enough to make a sound decision...

Thank you for trying to smear me in your opinion...one of these days you might run into someone with your attitude and find yourself on the ground wondering how you got there so fast...

Mike Lee may well be the single best Senator we have. Possible tie with Rand Paul. I would strongly urge you to reconsider withholding your support.
