Sad, because I think when she was elected to Congress, she was a true moderate who voted to do the right thing more often than not. Since 2000, I've seen a person who seemed to become less and less independent and not willing to rock the boat with her Party. I had high hopes at one time that she'd jump to the Democratic Party, but she didn't and her record became indistinguishable from most of the Republican Party that we've seen some to power.

Same with Sue Collins. How pathetic this women is, voting with her Party to make women's right to reproductive healthcare secondary to the whims of whoever she might work for. She's absolutely useless.

Good riddance, Olympia Snowe. [View all] RandySF Mar 2012 OP
