Breaking with Romney, Murkowski warns against ‘knee-jerk’ reaction to Solyndra
The Hill ^ | June 5, 2012 | Ben German

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is breaking with Mitt Romney and some Capitol Hill Republicans by expressing support for federal green-energy programs, including the one that provided loan help to the now-bankrupt Solyndra.

Murkowski, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said she supports continuation of the Energy’s Department loan-guarantee program for green energy, and more broadly backs a federal role in boosting market deployment of alternative energy.

Murkowski is worse than Graham, worse than McIgnorant, worse than any of the lower 48 RINOs.

Joe Miller should be the Senator from Alaska right now, but Murksleazeball couldn’t take a hint.

And now we’re stuck with it until 2016.

We defeated Murkowski in the primary and she had to run as an independent, what got her past the finish line was that the Senate republicans endorsed her, promising the Alaskan voters that they would be forgiven, and that she would retain seniority if they would choose her over Miller.

The GOPe ran against the republican tea party nominee in her race.

Murkowski and Romney are from the same branch of the party.

Yep, and after Romney appointed the pro-Obamacare Mr. Leavitt yesterday, I’m just waiting for Obama to say during a debate:

“Republicans complain about Obamacare all day long while doing a whole lot to help make it happen now that it has become law; heck even Republican voters voted to nominate Mr. Romney and he practically invented Obamacare”. “So I ask Republicans to ask yourselves, “What is it I really dislike about President Obama”? “Your actions at the ballot box don’t seem to match up with your rhetoric”. “So many Republican voters went to townhall meetings 2 years ago, and yelled at Democrat politicians about Obamacare, and then 2 years later, voted for Mr. Romney to be their nominee”. “Mr. Romney has surrounded himself with staff like Mr. Leavitt who support Obamacare. I just don’t understand what the Republican Voter wants”.

Precise dialogue there.

Democrats seem to at least work with their subversive set of voters, particularly the ones who are moderately underground, feigning low profiles and tucked away in various communes for Marxism, otherwise known as every public university in the USA, to which we dunces
deign to proudly send our own children.

Astounding really, that we sit here wringing our hands like always every dang election rather than cleaning our own house and uniting in a single front to overwhelm the opposition.

Because we will not rise up and clean out our own house, we can not unite during any primaries. ALL our candidates should make excellent, conservative presidents, with no culls among them. But no, we tolerate liberals among us and they are in office now and at the top of the establishment ignoring us, manipulating our ideals and capitalizing on our fears.

Nice to hear someone unafraid. It will be even worse next time.

I thought she was an independent. Repubican? The Republican candidate lost to her. Is that right?
