Lisa Murkowski first GOP Senator to openly defend Planned Parenthood
Faster Times ^ | 3/15/11 | Michelle Koufopoulis

Posted on 03/15/2011 9:25:36 PM PDT by pissant

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.”

I’m proud to say that I opposed her in both both of her Republica primaries (2010 & 2004).

Turdbronski is not a Republican. She is whatever mask she has to wear, to get a dance at whatever ball she’s dancing at.

TURDBRONSKI.

Murkowski doesn’t deserve to wear the label “GOP”. She is every bit the liberal, leftist, anti-American as Nancy Pelosi.

Comment prior to the article:

The Faster Times is an independent collective of journalists and writers who are looking to create a new model for the newspaper.

A line in the article:

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

With the bias shown here, it looks like the Faster Times is looking to propagate the old model of newspapers into a digital format.

You are far more politically astute than I am, but look around at what is happening with the budget. There simply is no hope that the GOP will ever do what is right and necessary to save the republic. Am I wrong? I just hope to live long enough to see the GOP destroyed and replaced with something that truly stands in opposition to the powers that will by design destroy our nation.

"Shame on Alaska voters."

Shame on Alaska's DEMOCRATS, union thugs, Murkowski machine judges, and corrupt Native corporation executives, you mean. She was defeated in the primary, and even conceded. Then her daddy and his unionista buddies and Native corp crooks got together a plan and put her back on the ballot, where they could all vote for her. The Alaskan voters do NOT want this creature as their senator. Please understand this. We voted her OUT.

she crushed Tea Party—and Sarah Palin— favorite

That line is the reason this article was written.

You nailed it. This was turdkowski payback against Sarah big time.

The lil’ princess’s daddy was one of the biggest crooks in AK politics and this nut did not fall far from the tree.

The same clowns that revel in her defeating the tea party candidate are the ones who love abortionists.

She’ll crap her pants when Sarah becomes President. So, let her revel in her fraudulent win for now. We’ll see who the big winner is in the end.

Might have known she was an abortionist. It figures, though.

Shame on Alaska voters.

Shame on Mitch McConnell for refusing to strip her of all seniority once she announced as an independent, thus permitting her to run on providing more welfare to Alaska as usual.

And shame on McConnell for permitting her to continue to caucus with the GOP now.
