Indefensible

From the beginning, I was wary of Lisa Collins, the “Democratic” candidate in the Special Election for Senate District 11.  If you look at her voting history, you would know what I mean.  She voted Republican in 2012 (both primaries), the 2008 Presidential Primary, 2004 (both primaries), and 2002 (both primaries).  Then, if you take [...]
