U.S. Senate
Charlie Summers vs. Angus King
vs. Cynthia Dill
This video is part of a series exploring the major candidates for Congress in Maine. Check back each week to learn more.



This guy has zero chance of winning. Why even bother to pretend at this point?
Agreed, he has been turned away by Maine voters 3 times. Snowe and Lepage do not even back him. Vote Colleen Quint for Maine Senate. Send Lepages lap dog, Garrett Mason home!
You are so stupid.
Undecided voters will look at your post and think, “If this is the kind of person Summers attracts, I’m not voting for Summers.”
Classy.
I think Summer’s failure in this race demonstrates that average American’s are pretty much fed up with candidates that are little more than empty shells of a person paired with a set of conservative ideals/philosophies that were dreamt up in a “think tank” in the bowels of some “Texass” corporation. You failed to stop us from voting Charlie, now you’re gonna get what you deserve.
Let’s see, Charlie:
I was going to vote for you but you supported revoking the same day registration privilege.
I was going to vote for you, but you support voter i.d.
I was going to vote for you, but you support…oh never mind. I can’t vote.
LOL
Here is why you need to support Charlie.
Bloomberg gets wind made certification
http://blog.bloomberg.com/2012-10-08/bloombergs-u-s-operations-awarded-windmade-label/
Mayor Bloomberg recently gave Maine Senate Candidate and wind speculator $500,000.00 for his campaign.

excerpt:
King’s fundraising report shows that trips he made to Washington, D.C., to raise campaign cash paid off. His contributors include a number of employees of the Podesta group, which held a July fundraiser for King. The report also shows a number of contributions from employees of the Washington, D.C., lobbying firm Patton Boggs, including former Louisiana Sen. John Breaux, a Democrat, and Patton Boggs chairman Thomas Hale Boggs.On Tuesday, King will travel to New York City for a fundraiser at the home of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has contributed $500,000 to a third-party, pro-King ad campaign by the nonprofit group Americans Elect.
==========================================================
Update on Bloomberg. Pay attention to this…
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/18/nyregion/bloomberg-forming-super-pac-to-influence-2012-races.html?_r=2&emc=eta1&
excerpt:
Mr. Bloomberg, a billionaire and a registered independent, expects to spend from $10 million to $15 million of his money in highly competitive state, local and Congressional races. The money would be used to pay for a flurry of advertising on behalf of Republican, Democratic and independent candidates who support three of his biggest policy initiatives: legalizing same-sex marriage, enacting tougher gun laws and overhauling schools.Among those whom Mr. Bloomberg will support are former Gov. Angus King, an independent running for the United States Senate in Maine; State Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod, who is challenging a fellow Democrat, Representative Joe Baca of California, who the mayor believes has been weak on gun-control; and Representative Bob Dold, a Republican from Illinois who has backed gun-control measures.
Huh??? Charlie had 3 minutes and 12 seconds to say whatever he wanted to, and he spends the whole time on returnables??? Accumulated “about 30 parking tickets”??? This video is supposed to promote him???
It’s important, also, to remember that Summers launched an expensive tax-payer money investigation into voter fraud, after accusing many people of that crime.
It was a witch hunt that fed off fear, and which resulted in the conclusion that–gasp–no voter fraud was taking place.
I like Charlie- and even if I didn’t he would have my vote as opposed to King.
Charlie should just give it up and move into Bruce Poliquin’s Crappy Candidate Beach Club.
Take a look at Summers website on the issues. It’s one page of far right bullet points focused on spending cuts to social programs, repealing Obamacare, tax cuts, and no cuts to defense spending. Magically this will somehow create jobs, bolster the economy, and reduce the debt. Given their track record since Reagan, if you trust the GOP on fiscal issues I’ve got some beach front property on Flagstaff that you’d love to buy.
Reclaim Maine Vote Democrat 2012
At-a-girl, like your post!
Charlie Summers, a puppet on a string, air between the ears stuffed suit, they seem to think they can get
him elected up here, hoodwink all these dumb Mainers, well, I think they better pick another state, cause this ain’t gonna be a good year for Republicans, I betcha.
Every time I see that blank-eyed-stare head shot in his political ad on television — and see him in full combat gear (as a Public Affairs Officer? Sure!), I am assured that he is someone’s puppet and I know that do not like the people pulling his strings!
TeaLiar Charlie Summers is one can to kick to the side of the road because he ain’t worth a plugged nickel.
The only things I have learned from Tea Republicans are that they are Liars, Crooks and love Voter Fraud. They also love to take away the right to vote in many many states. These people no longer belong to the Party of Lincoln. They belong to the KKK and Corporate Fascists.
Right on
Summers2012
Charlie Summers-
Opposes the ObamaCare Mandate
Has served our country as a member of the military
Opposes the Obama supported Quimby National Park
He has actual history of helping small business in Maine
He is genuinely committed to restoring Maine’s manufacturing base
He is the only one of the three that can go to Washington and get to work on day one..!
Angus King-
He left the State of Maine in a mountain of debt
He has close ties with those that want to convert Northern Maine into a National Park
He is tied with Mike Michaud for doing absolutely nothing to help small business
His history of working with green groups has always taken priority over “everything”
King is a well connected, well financed greenie, who has no intention of increasing manufacturing in Maine.
Cynthia Dill-
Dill “actually” wants to tax the internet…!
Dill isn’t willing to sit still until she bans all gun ownership
As a mindless Quimby minion, Dill has managed to totally offend those north of Bangor
Her views of unionizing, and controlling every aspect of free markets borders on Communism
She has no interest, history or track record of actual economic development, and has never attempted to reach out to the businesses in the Northern Maine.

These are your arguments? My gosh…I’d tell you to stay home but you probably can’t work the doorknob anyway…
Seems you are a knob expert….
Channeling Pee Wee Herman (I know you are but what am I?) makes you look silly and really does not take that place of an actual response.
Is that Fire Marshall Bill from the old Living Color tv show??????
