vcczar Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Sen. Susan Collins (ME-R) is a rare moderate Republican, slightly more conservative than her GOP predecessor Olympia Snowe.

vcczar Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Her waffling frustrates me, especially when I think she'll vote to my liking and ends up not doing so, but one the whole, she's worth a favorable vote. She's done a lot of good in a terrible time for American politics, if you dismiss a few bad votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
