Collins Criticized Over Senate Voting Record
Posted by Patrick Moening

... Allen referred directly to his political rivals. He briefly mentioned Ledue’s excitement without criticizing his primary opponent, but he reiterated some of the criticism he has had for Sen. Collins, whom his campaign expects to face in November ... Allen linked Collins to Bush and Cheney, saying she has voted for their economic policies 100 percent of the time, and to McCain, an ally of Collins whom he said would continue those policies.

This year I will not vote for Senator Collins because of her voting record on Habeas Corpus which in my view is the basic right of anyone who has been put in prison. She appears to have backed Bush, Cheney and McCain 100% on this issue. I also disagree with her voting record on the War, but not 100%.

Anyone who voted to go to war in Iraq should be THROWN out of office.

Didn't she commit to a term limit to win office? Isn't Collins going back on her word by running again?
The word on the PPH forums is that that this is called:

Twizzle-gate

I hear the thing about Susan Collins going back on her word not to run for a 3rd term is now being called "Twizzle-izzle"

It says something about her "integrity" - or lack thereof.

Collins is an embarrassment to Maine.

She needs to go.

It's "Twizzle-izzle" the -gate suffix has jumped the shark.
