Susan Collins Lie-Detector

Posted on Oct 07

Susan Collins attached to a lie-detector

TurnMaineBlue.com points out that in her response to the first question in last weeks debate, Susan Collins lied about Tom Allen's efforts in 2005 and 2007 to head-off our present financial crisis through greater regulation.  H.R. 1461, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005 and H.R. 1427 , the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007 each passed the house with Allen's support, but died in committee in the Senate.

"I am quite apologetic that we have not very successfully used the filibuster. I am a proud guardian of gridlock. I think gridlock is making a big comeback in the country. People are yearning for gridlock."
