will support her or look for a Blue-Dog to challenge her in the primary.

The overwhelming majority of DU'ers are definitely left of center.

The ones who aren't that left are loud and shrill, as authoritarians usually are.

See http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/2014/primaryelectiondescrip.html and list (of just Collins and Bellows for the US Senate seat) here: https://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/upcoming.html

Saw the thread title and thought this would be another one of DU's Rand Paul lovefests...

Thanks for not subjecting us to that again...

Anyone who thinks that he is anything more than a shill for the 1% is delusional. Just like his racist dad.

Representatives who respect the Civil Rights of all human beings.

Anti NSA, hopefully anti CIA also. Those institutions need to go, their criminal records demonstrate that they are out of control and appear to be operating as a separate 'branch' of this government.

Thanks for the link, this will be an exciting race to watch.

and burn and scatter the ashes.

May the gawddamned authoritarian scum rot and burn. ALL of them.

Private Security Contractors. It is insane that our national security has been privatized. The incentive that a for profit Security Contractor has to create phony threats is so enormous, it is astounding this was ever allowed to happen.

We need pro working person, pro jobs, pro america first, pro individual over global corporation.

Abortion, POT, Gay Marriage, the NSA, etc are all sideshows in the class war.

who will work diligently in the best interests of the 99% as well, in all areas.

Third Way neoliberals will use social issues as a "carrot on a stick" to maintain the status quo of rule by the 1%, and continue the polarization of wealth and power so that the wealth, power, and control of the 1% can continue to grow at obscene rates.

While a Third Way neoliberal is better than a republican, it is imperative that we nominate and elect sincere progressive FDR type Democrats in unprecedented numbers.

Nailed it.

The Peace Corps, blasting Collins on slow walking increasing minimum wage, speaking of environmental and economic crisis on Collins' watch and doing nothing, government not doing its job and investing in infrastructure.

At worst, way better than Susan Collins and potentially way better than most that we have now.

Anyone can be better than the status quo, I would like the turn focus to the class war which is being wage by the RICH fighting on all fronts.

Until the perpetually outraged find something they don't like about her.

Then, only DU's "cheerleaders" and "Yay Team!!" posters will continue to support her.

Did you support the Democratic Candidate in the NJ Governor's election by any chance? I didn't notice too many 'cheerleaders or the yay team' objecting to the Dem Party supporting the Republican Christie, going so far as almost the entire elected Dem Party in NJ endorsing him despite the outcry from the 'perpetually outraged'. Not the first either the Party supported a Republican. Don't remember much 'cheerleading' for the Dem in those races, here on DU as a matter of fact, EXCEPT from the PERPETUALLY OUTRAGED.

When there is some consistency on this matter of 'cheerleading' and the 'perpetually outraged' who supported BOTH Democrats in both of those races, feel free to offer your advice, until then we of a the perpetually outraged class will continue to replace Republicans and Dinos wherever we can.
