CARDELLO: New England is How the Democrats Would Like to See the Rest of the Country

October 5, 2026 Ray Cardello

New England is a small but very diverse region of the country. From the sparsely populated, generally conservative Aroostook County in Northern Maine to the rather liberal, densely populated Hartford, CT, you can find every type of U.S. Voter imaginable. But the one thing that New England doesn’t offer is representation for Republicans. Democrats have … Read more

CARDELLO: Democrats Are Going to Use the Biddeford Shooting to Beat Susan Collins

July 17, 2026 Ray Cardello

There is no depth too low for Democrats to sink when it comes to seizing an opportunity to fortify their power.

I thought, and … Read more

“Political Leaders*” in Maine Talking About More Gun Control After Texas Shooting

July 16, 2024May 29, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Politicians are supposed to be temps, so calling them leaders is misleading. Whatever they are, temp or career, the longer they remain, the less able they are to follow their oaths of office. And nothing exposes this failure as a mass shooting.

Kevin Baywatch Smith, Susan Collins and the Ukraine

December 25, 2021 Ed Mosca

Kevin Baywatch Smith is sounding more and more like a candidate for the United States Senate … and more and more like Mitt Romney.

For example, his ideal for a United States Senator is Susan Collins:

Maine Democrat Bre Kidman’s Campaign logo (She’s Running for US Senate) is a Guillotine

July 16, 2024February 17, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I am not at all offended by the campaign logo of US Senate candidate (from Maine) Bre Kidman. I find it refreshing. The logo for the Democrat challenger for the seat currently held by Part-Time Republican Susan Collins is a guillotine.

Trump more powerful than you can possibly imagine

BREAKING NEWS – No more witness, Trump may be acquitted tomorrow

January 31, 2020 Skip

BUMPED and UPDATED II: It’s sounding like this will be done by Wednesday.

BUMPED and UPDATED: Murkowski will vote NO on more Impeachment witnesses. The Democrats needed 4 Republicans to force the issue; they got Mittens and “never know how she’s gonna vote” Collins. This is almost all over.

**************************

Four Republican Senators had to vote with the Democrats to have more witnesses (e.g., that the US House Democrats should have done in their ‘inquiry’ but refused to follow up their subpoenas with Judicial orders). Two of the regular suspects have decided to do just that.

After Kavanaugh Vote Susan Collins Received a “three-foot-long cardboard cutout of male genitalia”

April 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald

One wrong move and the Left will turn on you. Just ask Susan Collins. Her support of Judge Kavanagh sent her liberal allies off the deepest of ends. Someone mailed a three-foot-long cardboard cutout of male genitalia to her DC Office. But that wasn’t the worst of it.

Sen. Susan Collins Senate Floor Speech in Support of Judge Kavanaugh

October 6, 2018October 6, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Susan Collins does not often get any ‘ink’ on these pages for making a cogent case in the defense of much of anything she does in Washington but this is an exception. No, it is not simply because she is voting the way we would prefer on Judge Kavanaugh. It is that she has stepped … Read more

Get On With It

October 5, 2018 Ellen Kolb

As I write this, Sen. Susan Collins has just announced her support of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. As I listened to her thoughtful and lengthy statement, I couldn’t quite forget the quote (possibly apocryphal) attributed to Dwight Eisenhower: “I made two mistakes and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court.” Translation: … Read more

September 26, 2018June 25, 2012 Skip

There is a piece in the NY Times byCampell Brown calling out Planned Parenthood for being too ideologically pure when pummeling supporters that stray from “their line”. Gay rights supporters in New York offered an instructive lesson during last year’s battle for marriage equality. Gay marriage passed in New York because four Republican legislators crossed … Read more
