Holding the Iraq War Enablers Accountable Part II: Senator Susan Collins

Americans United For Change brings together independent voices for new policy priorities and real leadership - to focus our elected officials on the issues that really matter to the lives of everyday Americans and get America moving in the right direction again. One of their main projects is the Iraq Accountability Project which seeks to inform voters about politicians who vote to support Bush's Iraq quagmire and the McCain/Bush/Lieberman escalation. Here is their second ad, targeting Senator Susan Collins of Maine. Let's first review Collins' record on Veterans issues before we see the ad: (from Project Vote Smart)

2006 In 2006 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Senator Collins a grade of C-.

2006 Senator Collins supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 60 percent in 2006.

2005 Senator Collins supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 50 percent in 2005.

2004 Senator Collins supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 0 percent in 2004.

2004 On the votes that the The Retired Enlisted Association considered to be the most important in 2004, Senator Collins voted their preferred position 0 percent of the time.

So Collins is better than many Republicans, but she has not been a strong supporter of our Veterans interests since 2004. And yet she wants to send MORE troops to fight in Iraq. Here's the ad:
