First of all, some adult needs to help Susan Collins blow her damn nose so she can enunciate the English language. But expecting her simply acknowledge that Republicans and their friends don’t do testimony under oath, since the constitution apparently absolves neocons from reality, is expecting the impossible.

Tom Allen is a class guy. Finally payment is being extracted for the gooper aiding and abetting of bush war crimes. Picking up that senate seat from the phony Collins would be huge. Go Allen!!

Us in Maine are going to miss his voice in Congress. He’s a solid man. While Collins (and Snow) only vote with us when it doesn’t matter, vote count to high or low for her vote to matter, I can’t help but wonder if she would grow a spine and vote with us in a solid democratic congress like the one that is coming our way!

I miss Lincoln Chaffee! With republicans like him who needs GW.

Back to Tom, we need to support Mark Lawrence who is running for Tom’s old seat. Mark has a war mongering democrat running in the primary and a bloodthirsty repub running against him in the general election. Shine some light on Mark Lawrence! dot org

Bye bye, Susie! You’ll be out on your a$$ in no time… I hope!!

I hope Maine throws Susan Collins out and elects Tom Allen!

eh… the Halliburton is still getting a lot of money… Maybe Susan might have tried.. but it wasn’t enough. She needs to go.

It’s about time someone called her out! She has supported the Bush war machine every step of the way. Her statement that it’s not her place to “throw handgrenades from the sidelines” is ridiculous. She never got into the game, rather she stayed on the sidelines waiting for her coaches, Bush and Cheney, to send in the plays. No leadership from her. Her failure to lead from this very important committee shows that she is no longer needed. Mainers do the right thing!

It’s not the we’ve forgotten about Iraq , the corporate media just never talked about this stuff.
I wish CNN/MSNBC was more like WGME in Portland.
What’s not news is that we have ourselves another loyal, incompetent Bushie.

let’s see where her future pay checks come from.

It’s bad enough that Joe Benedict Arnold LIARman is now chair of the committee supposedly in charge of “Homeland Security”. But the cherry on top of this BS sundae is the fact he couldn’t protect his own friggin’ campaign website.

nony @ 9:

let’s see where her future pay checks come from.

K-Street anyone?! or maybe 5000 $2000 anonymous thank you donations from an IP address closely associated with Halliburton!

How blantenly obvious that they intend to drown the American people in a bath tub of Blood. They want to get caught, that is the sign of social path.

Susan Collins isn’t the only one who’s helped promote the disaster and corruption in Iraq.

Collins=Republican=Liar

I could not believe that this woman was put in charge of any oversight, much less just after 9/11 - Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs “Making America Safer by Examining the Recommendations of the 9-11 Commission” Now we need someone to have oversight on her incredible shortcomings. This lady - all you have to do is hear her speak, she sounds like Ruth Buzzy on Depressants , (No Insult intended To Ruth Buzzy). This woman was “put in place” to make sure that there is no oversight or accountability while Haliburton and KBR etc. make hand over fist by charging our government for shoddy workmanship and inadequate equipment and supplies. If a bomb goes off in Iraq and destroys things, these companies make huge profits to replace these items. It is very lucrative and as long as the occupation of Iraq goes on they are making money$$$………………….The 9/11 commission was a joke and anything Susan Collins has to do with is meant to be an abject failure. Joe Lieberman is her sidekick to boot. There were no “real” questions answered with the 9/11 commission, and the victims families are widely ignored to this day by the media, so we don’t hear much of their complaining (their questions were complety ignored by the commission). Things are going as planned as far as the people put in charge are concerned. There is pattern here: Failure to protect our country on 9/11, the badly run war in Afganistan, Iraq -Hurricane Katrina - aid and clean up etc. It all started with the failure to protect our country on September 11… Condaleeza Rice is now our Secretary of State, since she did such a “great job” of being our “National Security Advisor” during 9/11. She was upgraded in her career for failing. Inadequate people are put in charge, they make policies and decisions to set us up for perpetual failure, these things were meant to fail so that the government has to put an “agency” in charge of oversight, they also purposely fail, while private contractors get paid big time for “fixing” all of the failures, it is a perfect way for a few people to make lots of money very quickly while everyone else is trying to figure out why these things are happening………..and why these idiots (paid cronies) are put in charge of these agencies (Brownie etc.) in the first place. It is all about profits. It is an endless racket. Think about it, if you owned a company that made huge profits from supplying a product to the government - for a war or a natural disaster, would you want the disaster or the war to be fixed? Of course not! The longer it goes on - the more money you will make - and be able to lobby and share it with those making more decisions to perpetuate this very clear pattern. We need to make sure the people in charge are for protecting the people, not the corporations and the lobbiest $interests$. This is bribery and treason at it’s finest and it needs to stop. For the “FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE” I do see light at the end of this dark tunnel and enlightenment is the key to stopping all of this. The people need to vote smart because not only is the United States broke - it is time for real change.

I compiled a short list of some of the things Collins thought were more important than investigating the fraud and theft in Iraq here:

Please don’t send her back to Maine,we don’t want her,been on the dole her whole life,republican?

The media in Maine paints Collins as an independent and moderate Republican. Lost in that lie is the fact that she voted with Bush over 90% of the time. The only time she was independent and moderate was when her vote made no difference in the outcome.

While I agree we really don’t want her back in Maine full time, we must realize that she can do less harm here.

Just curious, BUT, is the “oversight” agent that resulted from Collins single hearing on corruption and fraud in Iraq the same ‘whistle blower’ who had 48 staff members murdered before he sought asylum in the U.S., only to be the victim of official State Dept notice to shun and refuse to assist him, an effort to ’starve him out?’ Or, is this yet another victim of the criminal Bush cabal?

Hey scarce,

Thanks for digging this up. We heard it was coming, but didn’t know it had aired. Robert was hoping to thank you directly, but we don’t have your email. Can you send it to me?

Thanks,

I’m originally from Northern Maine in the area where Collins came from. When she first ran for office she stated that she would only serve 2 terms and now she’s campaigning for a third. Just before she began her first term, her brother was arrested for trafficking large amounts of marijuana and was convicted, but somehow that story disappeared. Most folk in northern Maine like her but have no clue as to who she really is. I hope the word gets out in time so Tom Allen can finally be seated where he belongs in the senate.
He was a great Mayor for Portland where I live now and will be a great Senator. He’s no bull!@#$

wow that was pulled quickly.

Surprised 13 didn’t try to spin it, or ignore it, after all they are owned by Sinclair.

What I’d like to know is how Halliburton a foreign Company is allowed to be a defense contractor. There is something terribly wrong with that.
