Sen. Collins locks office doors, refuses to answer to constituents on secret GOP tax scam
With a potential vote to raise taxes on the middle class days away, Susan Collins is refusing to even meet with her constituents.
By Matthew Chapman DECEMBER 13, 2017

With the GOP tax scam being debated in conference and set for a vote next week before Doug Jones can take office, all eyes are on Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

Collins, a Republican, voted for the original Senate bill, which includes an individual mandate repeal similar to the one she voted down in July. She did so with the assurance that two other bipartisan bills would be passed to offset any coverage losses, even though neither bill would do any such thing — and Paul Ryan never committed to pass them anyway.

Collins’s constituents are furious and demanding to meet with her on the issue. But not only is she nowhere to be found — her staff actually locked protesters out of her Senate offices in Maine, in the middle of regular business hours.

1. And yet when we regain the majority...

....we'll be falling all over her like some olde tyme suitor, to get her to side with us on something or other, just so it can be "bipartisan".

I honestly don't care if she's voted the "right" way once or twice, she's a Republican and she can go to Hell right along with the rest of them.

2. I am going to bring this up when I make my calls again today.

I hope I can get through and talk with a staffer.

3. Senator Collins

Enjoys her popularity because of the huge number of Dems who vote for her. The right wing of her party does not like her, they would love to see a conservitive like Poliquin or Lepage in there. So she is kind of on shaky ground if she pisses off Maine progressives.

4. Is it posssible she is just trying to read the damn thing?

Or, the GOP is giving her a brain transplant so she can be a bot like all the others?

6. Regarding Suzy.

Suzy may pretend she is all for Maine people but she knows which side of her bread the butter is on. She will vote the way Mitch tell her too.

7. Yeah the koch bros allowed her little play acting for a time

Like she actually gives a shit about the people of Maine and all.

Well that's over and the billionaires are demanding welfare and socialism for the rich now and I'm sure Collins and McCain and all the rest of the republicans are going to heed the voice of their masters over the entire rest of the US population.

Senator Collins can't hear the cries of her voters back home because her ears are stuffed full of Koch bros and Mercer dollar bills.
