She’s a person who makes up her own mind, does what she thinks is right and always keeps the concerns of her state at the forefront, moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told POLITICO of Murkowski, adding that the Alaskan was an important ally in helping to overturn DADT.”
Her “credibility” is further enhanced by this comment from the ultimate RINO, Susan Collins.
Can the people of Alaska somehow remove her from office?

Exactly. She’s a DemonRAT so let her join go her own kind.

We need a constitutional amendment providing for the recall of senators (I don’t think one is necessary for reps, since their term is only two years). This is far from the first instance of a senator betraying those who voted for him/her right after election, since they know they now have six years before they must face the voters again, and most of our nitwit voters will have forgotten early betrayals almost six years in the pazt.
Of course, the prospect for such an amendment garnering the necessary votes in the Senate to go to the states is exactly zero.

She might well be an Obamabot now, but not because she voted to continue the Bush tax cuts. I don’t think Zero won that one.

Time for Murkowski to make the switch to the DhimmiRat Party. Of course, that assumes she has the intellectual integrity and character to be honest with the voters of AK.

She's not a maverick, she's vindictive.

Murkowski has an army willing to fight for her. However they don't reside in Alaska, they can but are as far as opposite from the natives as can possibly be. In effect Lease A Murkowski is supported by outside the state interests, bought and paid for.

The ONLY reason that Murkowski is back in the Senate is due to the support/votes the Dems gave her in November. Yes, if you compare the 2004 and 2010 results, you see half of Dem voters going for the write-in versus about 30 percent for Pubs. Her total vote is about 58 percent Dem and 42 percent Pub.

I firmly believe the Republican Party bosses backed her over Joe Miller behind the scenes. Now she turns on them. Payback is a bitch isn't it, you maroons.

She should be kicked out of the GOP. She should not be given a choice.

Sickening. McConnell and the rest of the spineless R Senators had better wake up or we won’t gain control of the Senate in 2012!

In the next election, its time to go after Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham.Unfortunately we'll have to wait until 2014 to toss Linda from office.

I still think her win was pretty fishy. How does someone who can’t even get the nomination from her own party win as a write-in? I suspect massive voter fraud.
