I don't believe it either.
If this democrat in all but name presented this then either she knows there is no chance at all for it to happen, in which case she looks slightly less despicable than usual with out actually annoying any one, or else she does not qualify for it .
Of course, even a blind pig finds a truffle once in a while.

OK, I don't get it. She requested an audit, and that makes her slime? As the article points out, two of the federal employees recieveing the fed version of workers comp are 98 years old. Wouldn't it be nice to know if they were actually alive? These payments are supposed to stop at retirement.

No CJ, She has always been slime, (one of the R's that voted for Obummercare ).
She consistently votes with the Dems, and always has. Same with Olympia Snowe.
I really do not understand why or how either of them remain in the Republican party.
If she is asking for an audit then either it is a meaningless gesture or it will be bad for America.

The population of ME is about 1.3 million.  A lot of those along the southeast coast are displaced liberal asshats from RI, CT and MA just like the SE corner of NH.  The city of Portland is like any other city in America these days, replete with poor, urban bottom dwellers.  Snow and Collins are BARELY Rhinos.  I can't remember a vote in the last couple of years that they didn't cave to the wants of the left.  Both voted repeatedly knowing that those two votes would have avoided a 60 vote super majority in the Senate because of Lieberman and the other fence walkers.  For that, they should be thrown out of the party.

The folks up in ME may be quite sick of these two but the influx of liberals might keep them there for the time being.  Since Collins avoids the 2012 fray, she'll probably win re-election in '14.  Hopefully, by then, the RNC will have control of the Senate and make their votes a moot point.

I don't particulary like either senator from Maine, but again, she requested an audit of a fed program that shows signs of abuse. And the downside is......?





Other than a personal dislike of two rinos, which I share, just trying to understand the reason for the post.

Toms reasoning sounds right.  She's either trying to win back favor or knows that nothing will come of it.  Regardless of how much abuse is found, how many times have government programs, of this sort, undergone any fundamental change?

You NEVER go anywhere until you take a first step. Again, the downside is..?


If this move could "win back favor" Maine residents are dumber than I already think they are, for voting for Collins/Snow.
