“DO NOT, under ANY circumstances let this lying, duplicitous creature caucus with the Senate Republicans. He is clearly a left wing operative and should stay with his fellow lefties, such as Schumer and Reid, in the Senate DemocRAT caucus.”

That's what I don't get. If someone has to figure out who they will caucus with, then I don't see why the Republicans would want him. We have enough RINOs stabbing us in the back.

[blackdog]

He's either the dumbest man alive, or the most incompetent.

Choices, brought to you by the Affordable Care Act, For Mentally Impared Elite.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I guess the “G” just fell out of old Angus.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Yes....it sure is hard to believe that a moron, buffoon like Angus King is a United States Senate, Senator......does not say too much for the voters of the state of Maine!!! I have a word that describes them.....dummies!!!

[ilgipper]

Sorry, Fox and friends are the idiots here.

They should have been prepared, although they probably thought this 'independent' who discussed caucusing with the GOP might actually have conceded Obamacare is a disaster since the electorate just overwhelmingly told them they agree. They still should have been ready for a better response.

Hey, don’t “thank” me, I didn’t vote for him.

Mikey Bloomturd gave Anus King...err, Angus King....$450,000 in 2012 when King ran for the Senate.

He replaced Olympia Snowe, who retired. I know many people have issues with Olympia Snowe, but Angus King is much worse.

The dem liberal broad and the GOPe dude who ran again King in 2012 were both awful candidates, allowing King to slither in to office.

King made a ton of money pushing those damn windmills, which have a lot people up in arms here in Maine.

[Enterprise]

This is one of those gifts that will keep on giving. The Democrats have to defend their decision FOREVER now! And they are constantly going to have to deny that they think their own voters are stupid. Plus, when King was presented with the information, he turned around and accused the panel of being cruel and against healthcare. WOW!

And congratulations to the voters in Maine. You people who voted for King are the Royalty of Moronville.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I hope Paul LePage, Maine TEA Party governor, runs against King in 2018.

[Gargantua]

Tools like this "King" clown should be taken out back and summarily... uhhhhmm.... shall we say, 'dealt with?' They are a fatally destructive disease which will (continue to) rot this nation from its core.

"We will make no distinction between those who attack America, and those who aid them or give them shelter or support." President George W. Bush

That includes this pus-knuckle and every other smelly, brown Progressive smear on America's underwear, all of whom have been aiding and abetting the Caliphate makers in the Middle East since their dire and incorrect pronouncements that we had "lost the war" even as our boys were over their still fighting it.

That form of brazen, anti-American out-and-out TREASON during wartime is punishable by a firing squad, and these putrefacted scum deserve nothing less.

IMHO

We flatlanders don’t call them “Maineiacs” for no reason...

[Enterprise]

An apt descriptor!

[blackdog]

I know of several people who moved to Maine, just because it was their mecca of liberalism. We are not talking about your average liberals. We are talking very well educated political operative types who were formally Philadelphia political operatives.

And Angus King has no idea who this person is?!&**^%#$

He should resign immediately for being one of us ignorant american voters. He certainly has no clue of who, where, what, when, and how our Afordable Care Act was written, and deserves the attention his ignorance draws.

[Ann Archy]

Angus King is CERTIFIABLE!!!

[SharpRightTurn]

Patty Murray may be in a run for the money for the title of dumbest Senator with King around.

And if dumb isn’t bad enough, King couples it with an attitude.

“....Royalty of Moronville.”
I love it.
Is that Hillary’s village by any chance?

[PJ-Comix]

The latest liberal defense: Act STOOOOOPID. Jonathan Gruber? Never heard of him.
