Senator Lisa Murkowski Sells Out Conservatives — Again
Red States ^ | 7/17/10

Posted on 07/18/2010 7:36:48 AM PDT by paudio

RS Insider has been informed that there is a strong push by Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) to pass S. 1011, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, also known as the “Akaka Bill,” this year with the active support of Senator Murkowski. The bill, sponsored by Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), sets up an unconstitutional race based separate government entity for Native Hawaiians The lone Republican co-sponsor is none other than Senator Lisa Murkowski. This is the same Lisa Murkowski who was elected Vice Chairwoman of the whole Republican Conference in June of last year and is supposed to lead against terrible liberal ideas — not for them.

I wonder how long before these native Hawaiians have their own Casinos and how much prime Hawaiian real estate are they supposed to get?

There’s more to it than that.
Everyone in Hawaii who is not “native” would assume second class citizenship with passage of this bill.

Do ANY Republicans have an inkling of what true leadership is?

For the prosecution I submit this:


Denny Hastert

And this:

Why shouldn't she? She's not up for reelection this year. By the time she is, this bill will have faded into the background.

I lived in Hawaii for several years. It is the most blatantly racist anti-white state in the U.S.

Senator Lisa Murkowski is exhibit no. ONE of why voting for a RINO as the lesser of two evils is insane.
Death to all RINOs (politically speaking, of course)

Now I live pretty rural, but nearly every Repub I know says they are voting for Miller, they are sick of Lisa and her RINO ways. Everybody knows she will revert back from her as of late conservative political campaign to her good old meet with Obama about this vote or that. No joke, I even got two local Indians to change to repub status so they can vote for Miller. I vote for this dem downriver Indian for state Senate so they can vote for Miller. Also have my kids absentee ballots so they won’t miss the vote due to school starting. Me thinks it’s going to be an upset like when Palin beat Lisa’s dad in primary 51% to 19%. Sad thing is every last repub has t vote for Lisa this Nov if she does win. Can’t have another Begich like many freepers would say.

Really, I didn't know that. So other than super corrupt Chicago, zero has never lived in any place that wasn't anti-white. And I suppose listening to Jeremiah Wright made up for any lack of anti-whiteness in Chicago. Our post racial POTUS is a racist.

I’ll have to ditto Eska here - everyone I know/talk with here in Los Anchorage is talking Miller - mostly because he isn’t Lisa.

A lot of business owners support Lisa, tho for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.

Time will tell as they say - many hope she goes down in defeat with number that make Daddy’s loss seem minor.

THe next step is to get rid of Marxist Markie.

LOL! Ain't this the truth?! Conservative Patriots Group has endorsed Joe Miller since the beginning. As a member of the Vetting Committee, I have to say that we have worked VERY hard to weed out the RINOs in this primary, both incumbents and hopefuls. There is a LOT of talent out there. Some, we really liked, but knew they just were unelectable at this time. Others shone like lasers. I pray we have done it right.
