RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLLINS: "I was appalled, Mitt Romney is an outstanding senator who served his state and our country well. Wee Republicans need to remember that we are united by fundamental principles such saz a belief in personal responsibility, individual freedom, opportunity, free markets, a strong national defense, those are the principles that unite us. We are not a party of — that is led by just one person. There are many prominent upcoming younger men and women in our party who hold great promise for leading us. And I think that all of us who abide by those principles should remember Ronald Reagan’s admonition to Republicans that the person who agrees with you 70% or 80% of the time is your friend not your enemy."
