Lisa’s Gall vs. Miller’s Honor
Facebook ^ | Monday, October 25, 2010 at 3:23pm | Sarah Palin

Posted on 10/25/2010 1:23:30 PM PDT by curth

I have never seen a candidate stoop as low as was seen last night in Alaska’s senatorial debate.

Alaska’s Joe Miller is facing a tough three-way race for U.S. Senate. Though Joe decisively defeated the incumbent Senator in the primary, and though she conceded the race to him, she reneged on her primary vow to not contest the will of the people. She is now running a write-in campaign bankrolled by Beltway special interests.

I’ve seen some pretty ugly campaigning, and what they’re throwing at Joe right now is nasty. Joe’s opponents can’t run on the issues because they’re wrong on them – whether it’s repealing and de-funding Obamacare, fighting against cap-and-tax, protecting our borders, or pushing hard for responsible resource development. They can’t win in a fair fight on the issues, so they sling mud.

We saw all of this play out in the Alaska senatorial debate yesterday. (Watch the video of the debate here.) Joe took a bold stance for Alaska’s future. He called out the sitting Senator’s involvement in racking up the massive debt burden on our children and grandchildren, as well as her plan to barter over the destructive job-killing cap-and-tax legislation. As Joe said, we should focus on trading “earmarks for ANWR, not cap and trade for ANWR.”

The sitting Senator also came out against Arizona’s right to protect its borders. She called for us to “enforce the laws that are currently on the books,” but didn’t seem to understand that that is precisely what Arizona is trying to do to protect itself because the federal government refuses to enforce our laws. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by her lackadaisical attitude to border security when we consider that she has repeatedly voted against funding a border fence and voted in favor of amnesty.

But perhaps the most shocking part of all in this debate was when the incumbent Senator used Joe Miller’s distinguished military service as a means to attack him. Joe Miller graduated from West Point, fought in Desert Storm, and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service to our country. I find it astonishing that a sitting U.S. Senator from Alaska would challenge the honor of a decorated combat veteran. Is it any wonder the audience later booed her when she again challenged Joe Miller’s honor? Please watch the video of this exchange here.

We need to send a message that we’re not going to stand for this arrogant sense of entitlement and business-as-usual Beltway corruption. Joe needs our help to fight back against the influx of special interest money. Please join me in donating any amount you can spare to Joe’s campaign here:

He can lead once he gets to D.C., but he’ll need our help to get to there.

Why was Murkowski even allowed at this debate as she is not an official candidate?

Sarah needs to get up to Alaska and rally for Miller. Murkowski’s actions are despicable and dishonorable.

What makes Gov. Palin so refreshing is her “say it like it is” approach.

I just checked out her Facebook page and she is being skewered in the comments sections. She hasn’t posted anything there in over a month.

Lisa = Big money candidate.

I can’t wait for the election - and if either of them wins by less than 1 or 2%, count on the cat fight of the year.....

The Dems have already sued the Dept of elections for posting a ‘guide’ in some of the polling places listing....

wait for it....

“Write in cadidates”.

Ya, big money talks - and talks big here in Alaska

Miller’s money bomb has a running total , much like Christine O’Donnell had. The current goal is $1.5 million. Right now , he is at $1,087,307.

I notice that now he has “endorsed by Sarah Palin” prominently displayed.

She is the darling of the local media here....Mostly owned by McClatchy out of California.

None of the other write in candidates were allowed to attend.

Yes, I noticed that banner this morning.

Interesting story in today’s online Fairbanks News-Miner. They ran the whole email that Sarah wrote for Joe Miller.

They are so far in the tank with lisa, I couldn’t believe that they would run it.

Of course there was the negative obligatory comments from the libs about how they thought about Sarah, and how her email would hurt Joe Miller.

ha!

Good point!

Also, attacking the honor of a legimate war hero is not exactly a way to get oneself elected.

Sadly, Murkowski has a real chance to win this thing.

Many of the Democrats there are prepared to vote for her just to stop Miller and spite Palin.

If The Democrats do not believe they can win by the time the polls open, many will write in Lisa M..

She may very well win this thing. Do whatever you can to help Joe Miller!

I need to clean the slime off with paint thinner and then shower after reading about Lisa MurTrotskyite and the truly evil dems who want to steal this election for her. UGH.

Great....Murky is now in a kerfuffle with the Governor over Miller’s military service. I was hoping Sarah Palin would re-engage in this race, but didn’t know how it might happen.

I had no idea that Murkowski would invite Palin back into the race by leading.....with her chin. LOL
