Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski was the first Senator in more than 50 years to win an election with a write-in campaign (she crushed Tea Party—and Sarah Palin— favorite and official GOP nominee Joe Miller with a lead of over 10,000 votes this past November), and has a healthy history of defying the general party line: she’s voted in support of the DREAM Act, the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” a tax-cut compromise, and the START deal. Now she’s thrown her support behind Planned Parenthood:
“I believe Planned Parenthood provides vital services to those in need and disagree with their funding cuts in the bill,” Murkowski wrote in a letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Vice Chairman Thad Cochran (R-Miss.). “I ask you to consider these programs going forward to determine if there is room for allowing continued funding.”

Thanks a lot, Alaska.
Against party lines, e.g. she votes against her base and sides with her political enemies.
She is what we call, a “maggot”.
Shame is her mother did not have a chance to visit them back in the day!
You noticed that too? LOL
The more they attack Sarah and Rep. Bachmann, the more fed up I get...and the more fed up I get, the less tolerant I get of the circular firing squad within the GOP. I’ve never identified with someone more in the national political spotlight than those two ladies (w/the exception of POTUS #40). I’m not what you would call aggressive, but when you attack those ladies (or anyone else in their like minds), my ‘Mama Grizzly’ comes out. As Abigail Adams said in a famous letter to her husband John, ‘remember the ladies.’ Right now they seem to be displaying the testosterone that is sorely needed in our country.
That's a great observation. It seems the same nasty faces who are shouting about 'teabaggers' have been around since the seventies screaming about 'choice' and 'back alley abortions.'
And posted...
Alaskan republicans voted for Joe Miller..
It was the democrats that wrote in her name.. and the native tribes in MASS..
A twist on voter fraud that needs to be watched..
It might be tried in other places..
Yeah, as if I wanted Miller to lose to this retarded RINO.
She is a democrat at heart,.
I have noticed the media aren’t talking about ‘soccer moms’ anymore. I think that’s because most soccer moms are Tea Party Moms now, and it doesn’t fit the media ‘storyline’ anymore, which was supposed to be: Moms care about social issues + Scary Republicans cut education = Democrats win votes.
Now it’s more about ‘working families with union ties’ or somesuch nonsense.
I don’t think the media are capable of separating their agenda from their eyes (for lack of a better way to phrase it). They don’t LIKE what they’re seeing, so they don’t really SEE what they’re seeing.
I think the liberals and Obama’s organization which stoked the Wisconsin situation thought they could convince people this was about ‘cutting education for The Children,’ but it rapidly devolved into an open grab for money and benefits by the same people who’ve been telling us we can’t sustain this level of spending anymore.
People may not be able to articulate this to a phone pollster, but they know that while the left may say the ‘correct’ things, the women aren’t buying it. I don’t see how the left is going to rally women’s votes next time around, which means they’ll have to gin up some phoney ‘choice’ or education issues. I don’t think that’s going to work; Obama promised a lot in terms of moderation and in terms of some social issues even a more mainstream bent, and delivered on none of it—or, to be plain, he lied, and women saw they were played.
Let’s face it, you never miss a dig at Sarah.
Supporting Joe Miller over the Cow can’t possibly be construed as a dig
Really not much difference.
Both thought that what they were doing was an “essential service”.
Both Planned Parenthood and the Palestinian Authority (which trained the murderer) are getting US tax payer funding.
So Lisa likes murder, eh?
Too bad Lisa’s mommy made the wrong choice....
Just you wait...pissant will post another Bachman thread afterwards.
Then, count as many times as you need to put you over the top and voila!
Alaska tried, they just didn't challenge her write-in hard enough.
Bachmann sure looked like a fool this past weekend in New Hampshire.
Let’s face it, you never miss a dig at Sarah.
Maybe that's because pissant puts a much higher priority on having Barack Hussein Obama defeated in 2012 than on irrationally worshiping Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin does not even have the clout in a general election to convince voters in her own State of Alaska not to bother to write in the name "Murkowski".
Yet, POW's (Palin Obsessive Worshipers) are under the irrational delusion that Sarah Palin can win a general Presidential election in the other 49 states even though 72% of all voters believe that she would NOT make a good President.
FOX News Poll (February 7-9, 2011)
Question 3: I am going to read you a list of names. Tell me if you think that person would make a good President or not.
Sarah Palin:
.................YES.........NO.......DK.....Never heard of
ALL...........23%.......72%.........4%.......1%
Dem ...........7%........87%........5%.......1%
Rep ...........40%.......56%.......3%.......1%
Ind ...........25%........69%.......3%.......1%
She did. All she has to do is Palinize her words carefully because now she has a bulls-eye on her back from the MSM. Palin just lays low for now, and when she’s ready she learned her lessons from 2008 that the MSM will destroy her.
