How can we ever trust Sen. Susan Collins again? If you recall, when she first announced that she was running for the U.S. Senate, she announced publicly and in the newspapers that if she is elected she will serve two terms and retire.

Well, her second term is rapidly coming to an end, but instead of honoring the commitment she made, she is actively involved in seeking re-election to a third term. This does not speak well for her honesty and trustworthiness. Ms. Collins made this commitment and she should honor it. It will be difficult to trust her in the future after she has reneged.
