After watching Harry Reid and the do-nothing, liberal-controlled Democratic Senate stall, posture and blame everyone else for the failure of the Senate to act, do we really want to elect more Democrats to the Senate? They haven’t passed a budget in four years.

Electing independent Angus King would be the same as electing another irresponsible, liberal Democrat.

King already has shown his colors when he chose to support the liberals — Barack Obama and Chellie Pengree.

We need to change members of the Senate to those who will work with a fiscally-minded Congress. We need to put this country back in sound fiscal shape.

King was a big spender, just like Obama.

Do we really want the nation’s credit rating to slide even more? Thanks to the Obama administration, the credit rating has gone from AAA to AA for the first time in history.

Remember in his first two years when Obama had a Democratic House and Democratic Senate?

Remember the bailout? Remember Obamacare? Solyndra?

The national debt is the highest in the country’s history.

King was not a fiscal conservative when he was governor. He spent the state into debt. Remember the $30 million for laptops that taxpayers couldn’t afford?

Republicans are fiscal conservatives. Liberal Democrats are wasteful spenders. Need I say more?
