Move on tries to buy Maine Senate seat
Collins' Senate campaign ^ | 02/08/08 | Collins for Senate

Posted on 02/08/2008 3:28:40 PM PST by Fido969

Senator Collins has worked hard for the people of Maine, but now far-left extremists have decided to attack her. MoveOn.org has made Maine its #1 target MoveOn.org has sent more money to her opponent than all of the presidential candidates combined, over $365,000 already.

MoveOn and their allies have run 9 attack ads against her, including one featuring children dressed in military fatigues, forced to crawl under barbed wire.

Collins is pretty wishy-washy, but Maine is turning bluer every day, and it's cheaper to buy Senate seats in smaller states than larger states.

Moveon has bought Maine congressman Tom Allen, one of the most liberal in the House, (as well as one of the least effective) lock stock and barrel. They have poured a LOT of money his way, trying to get this guy into the Senate.

Interesting, but pretty pathetic.

Ooga-booga. Ooga-ooga booga-booga.

Expect to see a LOT of this “fend off the boogieman and send me money now” from the RINOs this election season.

They know they don’t look so Republican on their merits — so prepare for the scare tactics.

I thought Collins already answered to MoveOn.

A concerted effort by MoveOn.org is *NOT* a “scare tactic” to drum up RINO campaign funds. Collins is no conservative but she’s better than the Dem opponent and we can’t exactly afford to lose any Senators.

Why bother funding an opponent?

With Collins’ record, it’s a case of why buy the cow when you’re getting the milk for free.

Well then, I suggest you dig deep in your pockets and send the Girl RINO a whole boatload of money!

She sure won’t get any of mine. Not directly, and not from the RNC either, ‘cause I don’t contribute to them any more.

TIP: be sure to hold back enough dough to pay your increased federal income tax bill...
