Here is the one hundred thirty-third article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Hypocritical Republican Senator from Maine, Susan Collins.\u00a0\u00a0 She is so honored for publicly claiming to be undecided on extreme SCROTUS (Republican Unconstitutional VD) Nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.\u00a0 After meeting with Trump, she rubber-stamped Kavanaugh in secret.<\/span><\/p>\n A source close to Collins\u2019s staff tells the Huffington Post’s Laura Bassett that Collins consulted with Trump before it was finalized, and signed off on Kavanaugh<\/strong>. Collins’s spokeswoman, Annie Clark, gives a weak denial to the report, telling HuffPost “that while the senator talked extensively with Trump throughout the process of choosing a nominee, she ‘never gave [the White House] a list and never committed to supporting anyone.'” Yeah, in all those “extensive” talks with Trump, Collins never indicated who she’d be willing to rubber stamp.<\/p>\n It’s not really been much of a question, particularly after she met with Kavanaugh and told reporters that when she asked him about abortion rights, he said “that he agreed with what [Chief Justice John] Roberts said at his nomination hearing, at which he said that it was settled law,” and that his answer on Roe was “very strong.” Sure, Roberts might have said in his confirmation hearings that Roe is settled law, but that’s talk in a hearing. Since he’s been on the court, he’s voted to uphold<\/a> a late-term abortion ban, voted with the minority<\/a> against a majority ruling that states could not place an undue burden on a woman’s access to abortion, and voted<\/a> to overturn California’s regulation of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Inserted from <Daily Kos<\/a>><\/span><\/p>\n Here in Oregon we used to have a Senator named Gordon Smith who talked a very moderate, bipartisan game.\u00a0 He also voted with Democrats, but only when the issue was decided and his vote did not really matter.\u00a0 Whenever the Republican Reich really needed his vote, you’d always see him goose-stepping with Bought Bitch Mitch.\u00a0 I nicknamed him Gordon Goose-step, went to work for his Democratic opponent’s campaign, and helped send him to the unemployment line in November, 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n Susan Collins is not as obviously vile as the Republicans who normally get parades, but she is another Republican goose-stepper that pretends to be bipartisan, just like Gordon.<\/span><\/p>\n Back in 2008, we replaced Gordon with Jeff Merkley [D-OR], a progressive leader after only ten years.\u00a0 Maine, you can have a Jeff Merkley for your state instead of a goose-stepping Republican on Parade, if you work for it.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is the one hundred thirty-third article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) apparently doesn’t want to be elected in Maine again. Maybe she is operating under some delusion that there’s something bigger for her out there, because she sure as hell is burning her bridges with the people who helped get her elected in the first place. Officially, she is undecided on Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court pick of the Russian asset in the Oval Office. Unofficially, however, it appears the fix has been in since even before the nomination<\/a> was made public.<\/p>\nRESIST!!<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
