They didn't protect Planned Parenthood, they insured that taxpayers (no matter their religion, or moral beliefs) would have to pay to abort innocent babies!

The Senate needs a thorough housecleaning.

Start with the ones that voted for Rubio’s amnesty that are up in 2018.

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake.

When a Prog says they saved PP, that’s what they mean.

They did, she got primaried out by a real conservative then ran as Third Party, split the vote and won.

She is a truly horrid woman

Tar and Feathers! Or just Tar!

Why are these worthless Demonrats in RINO clothing still elected over and over?

That’s why we’re not getting traction ,, the RATS/CIA/DeepState would murder a relative and make sure she got the message ... don’t ever leave the reservation. We don’t do that (other than deepstate operatives like McCain).

Alaska is becoming bluer by the day.

They need to lose their committee chair positions, along with all committee assignments, and be relegated to basement offices across from the custodian restroom.

One of the worst things is that RINO Collins will likely be the only option on the ballot, other than some outright Democrat, in Maine. I hope the Conservative party runs someone against her, but both of Maine’s senators are horribly liberal. “Independent” Angus King is too liberal to be a Democrat!

Alaskans have a long history of continued voter support for the incumbent. Murkowski is a household word up there. They would have just voted for her regardless of the ticket.

Part of the reason that Don Young and Ted Stevens had just long careers in spite of their performance.

The best way to become a long-term incumbent is to have someone, like a governor appoint you to fill a vacancy. Lisa can thank her dad.

Ted Stevens was appointed to his U.S. Senate seat and served 6 very long terms.

Don Young is in his 23rd term in the house.

Yes to this, and it bears repeating!

Actions have consequences. It’s well past time for these two bozos. Donating to their opponents is fine but their states should be recalling them with a no confidence vote.

The RINO are afraid to do that because then these creeps will vote with the DEMs. Maybe in 2018 when we have a larger majority.
