Quoted: Murkowski is a good politician despite her shitty ideas. Romney got elected because he goes to the right church and that is the only reason. View Quote I asked my very conservative Mormon coworker about what's the deal with Romney. He told me that Romney was heavily involved in landing the salt lake Olympics. Benny are quite proud of that and have a loyalty to him for it. |

Quoted: Utah gets pounded on because of the Kangaroo. Alaska doesn't have a Kangaroo (that I know of). View Quote The Kangaroo is now anti-Romney and partially anti-Trump from his posts in Politics because of the socialist stimulus bills and the support from both of them and much bump stocks. Can’t say that I disagree about that but I still have a very favorable view of Trumps presidency as a whole because it exposed the true corruption that exists in both parties in this country. |

Quoted: So why didn't anyone else he ran against get picked then? Everyone on the ballot was LDS. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Murkowski is a good politician despite her shitty ideas. Romney got elected because he goes to the right church and that is the only reason. So why didn't anyone else he ran against get picked then? Everyone on the ballot was LDS. As is typical of any election UT picked the least shitty of the choices they had. But riddle me this if Romney had been anything but Mormon would he have won the primary or would he have even bothered to move to UT? The fact is if he had tried to run in any other solid red state he would have had his ass handed to him because he's an elitist liberal has been. |

She's great at pandering to tweakers and inbred fetal alcohol survivors. There's no other explanation for how skelator manages to cling to the position

We expect more from UT and less from AK.
Most Ut'ians are good, feet on the ground, religious, people. Most in AK are rebels without a clue. |

View Quote I think he's on the spectrum. In context the stimulus bill is a small matter. And by "in context", I mean considering what we face as a country from Biden and the Dems. The only good thing I see about Biden is he seems to be going too far too fast. I think that will be their downfall. They could boil the frogs if they were not so impatient. |

Saying Romney's religion was not an element in his success, is like saying Obama being black wasn't part of the reason he got elected. I could care less what church synagogue temple or wickan meeting place someone goes, but you can't with a straight face tell me a southern baptist would have won in Utah. I will give you Trump endorsing him helped but I don't recall if that endorsement came before or after the primary. Trump made some bad calls and trusted people he shouldn't have. |

Because we know she cheated.
Daddy gave her the seat first. And than there is the fucking over the actual candidate as a independent. And than getting the rules changes to allow any spelling variation that is similar to her name for a write in " win". She is not even a RINO just a straight up pos. |

I'm hoping her actions over the last couple years or so have done her in. Rs have been mostly done with her for years, in her last election she was primaried and then pulled off a write-in campaign in the general. She said a bunch of stuff that pissed off Conservatives around the first impeachment of President Trump and the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Coney Barrett, but then she voted party line after all which pissed off everyone else.

View Quote When every person on the ballot at both the Primary and General Election was/is Mormon, Religion ceases to be a factor. You obviously want it to be otherwise, but to those of us that actually know Utah politics it's obvious religion isn't why he was elected. |

Quoted: I hate them both equally, but Romney did in fact run for president and is a more obvious asshole than Murkowski. If it makes you feel better OP, I detest that Alaska elects her, and they need to stop. View Quote I don't think we elect her, I think its the fucking dominion voting machines...I have never talked to a single person who will admit to voting for her, yet she keeps right on getting reelected.... |

How come afrcom spends so much time bashing Republican Senators instead of trying to defeat Democrat ones???
If Republicans won in Ohio, Montana, and West Virginia in 2018; Romney and Murkowski would be mostly irrelevant. |

You'd think Mormons might know something about being led astray.

Same reason Texas gets a pass and Illinois gets shit on despite one having far fewer blue counties than the other.
Hint: Illinois is more red than Texas. |

Romney’s vagina has more sand in it, and the bitch makes sure everyone knows it.
Also Romney is a bigger cunt. |
|
screw Murkowski,I have no idea how she gets elected because nobody I know votes for her
|
|
She voted impeachment.
Alaska better get their act together and sanction her. Also vote the traitor out. |
|
We also live in an echo chamber. Most people don't think like conservatives and fewer and fewer vote that way every year. Trump certainly wasn't a conservative, for example. These people adopt whatever persona they need to adopt to win the position and say shit that is needed to support winning. It's that simple.

Alaska just voted in "Ranked Choice". This "might" help Murkowski.
|
|
Because she made a grand bargain with the democrats: She will represent their interests in exchange for their tacit support, and also support the Native groups, and she will call herself a Republican. To be fair, it is easy for her to do. Alaska is drifting left more and more with each election.
There are a lot more government cheese type Democrats in Alaska than you imagine. We elected Mike Gravel, for God's sake. That is a tough combination to beat. What are you going to do as a Republican? Vote for her, or let a creep like Begich win? Joe Miller, her first real opponent who won in the Republican primary against her, got clubbed like a seal by the uniparty Machine. He got disowned by the Republican party as THEIR candidate! Make no mistake, the Democrats will renege on that deal if they think they can win. Begich is carefully building up a constituency to run for office again. If you think she is bad, start following the Anchorage assembly and watch a Bernadette Wilson video of her raging against them. Half of them are full on marxists. |

Romney is an idiot and I did not vote for him in the primary. He is the laughing stock of the Republican Party but at least we voted for Trump in UT. You have places like CA, NV, AZ, CO, WA, OR and NM all around us that voted for the commie Biden and they all get a pass. I'd rather have a crappy Senator like Romney that can't do too much bad when you have someone like Trump in office as opposed to have voted Biden in. Yeah we have some weird liquor laws but other than that the state is great the generally the politics are as well.

Quoted: False, you realize almost every politician in Utah "goes to the right church?" Romney got elected purely based on his name. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Murkowski is a good politician despite her shitty ideas. Romney got elected because he goes to the right church and that is the only reason. False, you realize almost every politician in Utah "goes to the right church?" Romney got elected purely based on his name. Several posters keep saying this, yet no one will answer this one simple question..."if Romney wasn't mormon would he have been elected?" He carpetbagged his way to Utah because he knew he couldn't get elected anywhere else. He did this the same day Hatch announced his retirement. Face it UT put a liberal slimy carpetbagger into office because he belonged to the right tribe everything else is secondary. I could care less that he's mormon but this kind of tribal voting is how we get shitty people in office like Obama, Castro, Beto etc. |
