This is how the media talks about fucking Susan Collins. . . .

This is just a snip from the NYT this morning--"In Congress Only Gloom is Bipartisan."

"The shutdown last week produced a nascent effort at pushback: a bipartisan group calling itself the Common Sense Coalition has been meeting in the office of Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine and one of the last centrists in the Senate".

What a bunch of horse shit. Collins votes for EVERY single wing nut measure that arrives, and she's a fucking "moderate"? Yeah, right.

that "centrists" now-a-days are what we'd call full (not "far" ) right wing a few years ago. Most of the Repub party has gone far right, either far right on economics or far right on social issues, working in collusion and far too enamored of strongmen and autocrats.
