PORTLAND, Maine — Sen. Susan Collins has completed another year without missing a vote.
The Maine Republican extended her perfect voting record with a consecutive voting streak that extended to 4,825 roll call votes in 2011.
Collins said she takes her responsibilities seriously, and that includes voting.
Collins has said she looked up to Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, who held the record in the Senate until 1981 with 2,941 consecutive roll call votes.
This is a remarkable feat that should be representative of all United States senators; but sadly, it is not.
Senator Collins does need to reflect upon some major votes more thoroughly, though, to give more credence to what Mainers want and not what Planned Parenthood, NOW, and other liberal anti=family groups want her to do.
Um, Maine is liberal, and our Senators are called moderate, I don’t believe you know what MOST Mainers want. Remember, we were in President Obama’s corner, and will be again next election.
and, if you are supporting him, you are america hating as he is. like forrest gump said,”stupid is as stupid does!”
It is amazing that people who don’t seem to appreciate the majority rules democracy claim to be more American. I served in the military, I volunteered to do it, because I love my democratic all people are equal country. Do you consider Mitt Romney more American when in the last election he claimed his son working to get him elected was equal to soldiers serving in Iraq?
you are right on there,sir! she also stood up with that other nut, liberman 2 weeks ago,and supported higher taxes.no matter who the taxes go up on, it impaires the economy. spending has to be cut, not raising TAXES! we do not have a money supply problem, we have a horrendous spending problem. but of course, all reprobate liberals arent smart enough to end this. nearly all dems., are purposely out to destroy this country.anyone that supports them now, are in the same group. and yes there are a few repubs. in that bunch. they are called RINOS
All democrats are out to destroy the country, right. Let us know when you come down from whatever you are taking. Like a lot of Republicans, blame the Dems while the Republicans have control of congress. Fortunately people do not listen to prejudiced comments like this. go back to watching Fox news.
So have the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy the balanced budget yet ?
How did deregulation work out for the economy ?
Have you anything but more failed policy to propose ?
But , please, do keep posting about the conservative failed vision.
I encourage it .
So do you know when the Federal Budget was last balanced ?
I do.
Then do know when it last balanced under a GOP POTUS ?
That is okay, me either.
But if not Hover then then who ?
lol.
Fierce foe of national health care, stalwart defender of increased potato consumption in America. My hero.
Thanks for mentioning her only two correct positions.
Sounds like your skinny and healthy. You may find your position evolving with the passage of time, addition of pounds, and advent of interesting health issues. In the meantime enjoy.
Maybe some of us take personal responsibility of our lives and our health. We don’t wait around for the government to tell us what is good for us or not. Try it sometime.
So fat makes a political difference ?
Verrrrrry interesting.
The Potato Queen of Maine!
Mrs Potato Head with contempt of any spud with Potato blight !
The Potato Lobby really paid her off. I wonder how much she made pushing greasy french fries on Maine’s Obese Kids.
Thank you Ms. Collins for setting the bar for being present and voting….too bad all the elect don’t share the same responsibility……
oh wow, she made every vote. back in grade school she’d have gotten a star, in congress she just increases her wealth. too bad she’ a lackey and not a leader.
Hey, at least she shows up. More thatn you can say for alot of them, especially with campaign season drawing neigh.
I take her over Rochelle “Chellie” Pingree-Sussman anyday. This buffoon claims to be against the Wall Street Fat Cats, fighting the bailouts, against those who use corporate jets. But she is married to Donnie Sussman a Multi-Billionaire Wall Street Hedgefund Manager who took a huge bailout from Obama himself. She claims to not use corporate jets but used her husbands numerous times and was called out on it during her last re-election campaign. Now their is a hypocrite for you Libs.
thanks for posting
“I take her over Rochelle “Chellie” Pingree-Sussman anyday. This buffoon claims to be against the Wall Street Fat Cats…. ”
Good for you.
But why do you compare her to someone you don’t respect at all ?
The best you have is that she ( a Senator) is better then than what you think is nothing…
(and just in the House, anyway) ?
There is an endorsement.
Personally, I have more respect for Sen. Collins, even if I do not support her politically, than you seem to, and I know Rep. Pengree, personally.
They are very different women.
Shelly would laugh at you.
I like to think so would Sen. Collins.
They both work at what they think is best for Maine.
One is no more mistaken than the other.
She’s just another politician getting rich on Wall Street by betting on all the free trade agreements she’s voted in favor of. Thus resulting in the demise of Americas economic wellbeing
And being anti – union so anti the First Amendment…. so anti- Constitutional, too, right ?
Well ?
I don’t always agree with Senator Collins but at least she shows up and deserves credit for that. Celli, Pratt, Rosen (Kimberly), Greeley, and Cushing take notice.
Perfect for the Corporations and the 1% ers. Insider stock trading and bribes from the Lobbyists. She forgot all about representing the people of Maine. What a LOSER !
She does deserve credit for this, however, it is a bit sad that the bar is set this low.
Are we allowed to perform a citizens arrest on this war criminal called Susan Collins and deport her sorry *ss to Iraq to stand trial for war crimes against humanity?
Yo Suzie, where are the weapons of Mass Destruction you and Exxon Mobil concocted to
invade Iraq for the last remaining large oil reserves?
Where would you be today without the help of FBI crime family agents committing voter fraud on your behalf?

Perfect record for who?? Ms Collins, that’s who. A servant to the 1%’ that’s who. Where did all the money come from anyway huh! huh!
It would be more perfect if she had kept her promise to leave after two terms – the lying cockroach.
thanks for posting. Al Pacino surfaced in his role as Tony in the movie SCARFACE when he would say
“you cockroach”
Call her what you want, but she is without a doubt a lot better than Princess Pingree or Queen Michaud
Are you referring to the hack Mr unBalanced
Michaud
same guy that did the NuBalance sneaker infomercial this summer
..?
Michaud was a news item this summer working the emloyees at NuBalance
to get their vote by sponsoring legislation
..?

Thanks, so are we open business or not ?
Yeah, she is the sort girl who has perfect attendance.
Except she is too good and smart for you, she’d be perfect for you Forest.
Run, Forest, run.
So do you have feelings for Mr. Michaud, too ?
There might be where your future lies.
lol
Perfect attendance ?
Very good, young lady. But can we talk about the quality of your work, too, please ?
Too bad she voted on the Dem’s side to many times. has lost touch with those who sent her to DC!
