Funny that is the party she is listed with. Not that it matters you should vote for the person not the party.  She was a lot better choice than Joe Liar Miller.

Murkowski will do whatever McConnell tells her.  He stood by her 100% after she lost the primary, and it's safe to say she despises the Tea Party and will never support them on anything.

With respect its not that big of a deal at least not near the problem the Tea Party fanatics are making it out to be. Correction is in order but not shutting down the government and turning to anarchy.

Lol a while ago.  Honestly if you equated the country to a household the parents should have their credit cards ripped up and then bitch slapped if they even thought about trying to get a loan.  Instead essentially we are like college students filling out credit card applications because we get a free candy bar and when the card shows up we go shopping for crap.

Shutting down the government won't turn the country into anarchy...seriously? Did you really suggest that is what would happen?  Just like when they said the sequester would cause people to be dying in the street.  Exaggerate much?

No one wants to shut down the government.  We just want to stop increasing the debt ceiling, cut wasteful spending and live within our means.  Since when is that "anarchy"?







It's funny.  Before the primary, a liberal in my office asked whether I thought Miller would win, and I said no.  Then do you know what he said?  Said that Murkowski had changed, and she was "an extremist".  LOL.

Lisa`s a rino , Marks a lib in sheeps clothing and uncle Don`s is one of the biggest spender in Washington.Time they all went away,the need for new faces in Washington from all over the country is great .It`s a sorry day when

I remember voting in the 2010 primary and thinking "Fuck it, he doesn't have a chance, but I hate Murkowski." and voted for Miller and apparently a lot of people felt the same way because he won.  That was amazing.

He won the primary but not the general election. So you kind of proved your own point wrong. A person who can easily win a republican primary does not have much of a chance of attracting independent and moderate voters.

I have met her briefly when I was out in Bethel. She seemed like a nice and genuine person. I really hated the person she was running against. I don't worship her but given the choices we had last time I think she was the best one. I am a moderate and I am not a hard line conservative. Anyway this is politics not personal and I apologize for any offense I gave you. I am tired of having polarizing choices. Its seems the republicans are running far right wing elements of the party while the democrats are putting forth the far left. I believe most of the country is in the middle.

Actually the best thing we could do I bieve is to take money back out of elections or at least limit it. The supreme courts decision to say Corporations have the same rights as people was crazy and its driven giving huge amounts of money trying to sway elections in the form of super pacs.  A guy like you or me can't run for office we don't stand a chance. Too much money is needed and no back bone is allowed.

What pisses me off is this, no matter who is in office, nobody brings up the 123000 dollars that is owed by each and every taxpayer. There isnt even a payment plan in place it keeps growing, Just to put that in perspective your payments on that are about 825* a month for 15 years. Think decent priced condo, or your 3 kids college education, or I dunno your retirement completly paid for(* 123000 @ 2.5% intrest).Tthe person who says "STOP enough already" is a party pooper/ tea partier/ starve the old people/ hates minorities( AE ANY group that gets special funding).  The people who elect them are the real problem and while the politicans are the figure heads the bodies that elect them are the issue.

The problem is power, not money.

There is too much power the government can weild on behalf of, or against an interest, monied or other.

Some donors call campaign contributions Protection Money, in hopes that politics pass them by.  The ones who famously proclaimed they were apolitical, like Microsoft, had the Fed.gov hammer fall on them like Thor's Hammer.  Microsoft came II this close to being broken up like Ma Bell.  Guess where Microsoft donates protection money now? - it is not Republicans.

Take farm policy.  Archer Daniels Midlands donates a lot of money to have policy skewed to favor them.  At bottom, who can blame them?  The govt is where the power is, and any prudent business will steer spare cash to aid, or at least not harm, their own cause.

I don't see any way forward.  It is not in activist government to limit itself.   Any attempt to stop the flow of money will make raising that all important dollar harder, and push politicians WHO WANT TO WIN ELECTIONS into more and more perverse forms of dollar chasing.
