Susan Collins actually said...

"the worst thing we can do is to make this a partisan issue."

"I do not believe in big government. I believe in good government, and I know that what is happening in this Committee is going to change the face of the Alzheimer's community."

"I commend Senators Collins and Klobuchar for introducing the resolution to double the funding for Alzheimer's disease research."

"A lot of that stuff is pretty disgraceful on the merits."
