An echo opinion letter published in the New Hampshire newspaper Concord Daily Sun- Senator Collins alert! Just so blog readers know, the Concord Daily Sun circulates in a heavily Republican community including the Lake Winnepasaukee area where Senator Mitt Romney has a summer home. Although Senator Collins is a Maine senator, the newspaper's circulation (especially electronic readership) spills into nearby western Maine.

Republicans Recklessly Put American Lives in Danger

From Arthur Heigl: Except for Senator Mitt Romney, Maine's Susan Collins and all Republicans should be shamed.

In local New Hampshire and Southern Maine television stations, the political ads are awash with numerous messages paid for by or for Sara Gideon an/or Susan Collins. 

Most of these expensive political advertisements raise various valid points about the candidates themselves or their opponent.

Yet, I find it strange that, thus far, none of these ads has commented on what might be the so-called elephant in that room. 

In other words, that is the way Susan Collins supported Donald Trump in the impeachment trial and before then the way she helped get Brett Kavanaugh a seat on the Supreme Court. In each instance she feigned concerns for truth and justice but then simply towed the shameful (wrongminded) Republican party line.

Now that Bolton‘s book is out, we learn that there is considerably more evidence for other impeachable offenses by Trump. 

Lamar Alexander, a Republican senator, recently said that there was no doubt in his mind that Trump did the things he was impeached for. But he let him go because he thought the offense was not sufficiently impeachable. Interesting. Yet during the impeachment the Republican line was different. It was all about the charges not being true.

Regardless, in my view, Susan Collins and all the other Republicans deserve to be shamed and removed from office because of their having been quiet about almost all of Trump‘s outrageous behaviors, misdeeds, and programs. The only Republican I still respect is Mitt Romney.  From  Arthur Heigl in Intervale NH
