Former Republican Alaska Senate contender Joe Miller is considering a comeback, in part because he thinks America is now living under tyranny.

The Sarah Palin-backed tea party favorite shocked the Alaska political establishment in 2010 by beating incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the GOP Senate primary. But Murkowski decided to keep calm and carry on as a write-in candidate in the general election. She ultimately edged out Miller and Democratic candidate Scott McAdams to become the first senator since Strom Thurmond to win a Senate seat by write-in.

Since the defeat, Miller has been practicing law in Fairbanks, working on his political blog and traveling around the world. He told The Daily Caller in an extensive phone interview Wednesday that he has taken two trips to Israel and Europe since 2010. He also visited China. Ads by Google

I really like Joe Miller. I'd much prefer to have him as a nominee than some establishment type in Alaska. The question is can he beat Begich? It's tough but 2014 should favor him.

Tyranny is on a roll, that's for sure. Boston was just a dry-run for martial law.

They basically declared martial law in Boston and were going house to house.

Yep. No hot pursuit, no nothing, just door to door home invasions by “policemen” dressed like the Nazi SS.

In a just world, the Democrat Sen. Begich should lose for the simple reason that they sand-bagged Ted Stevens with their bogus charges.

Yes, and under the circustances the honest, law abiding among us were more than willing to be cooperative, however the NEXT time circumstances might be different.

If the Boston lockdown/martial law is the new normal, freedom is essentially dead in the USA/USSA.

The Paramilitary Police State will keep us safe...

Exactly correct. Fat guys playing army. How many of those cops will file disability claims because of the exertion of handling all that back-breaking gear?
