Piling On With Palin: Tea Party Express Backs Murkowski Rival

CNN reports that Tea Party Express is joining Sarah Palin in backing the longshot who wants to unseat Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary.

Though lawyer Joe Miller, shown at left, has far less name identity in the state, Tea Party Express will pour in people and money to try to "level the playing field," reports CNN's Shannon Travis.

It will be interesting to see whether Republicans in Alaska view the endorsement as verification of Miller's conservative credentials or just a continuation of a family feud that started when Palin booted the senator's father, ex-senator and ex-Gov. Frank Murkowski.

That's funny, why then did Palin endorse and campaign for her in a previous election?

Actually, the bigger question is why her PAC donated $4,800 to Murkowski for the 2010 election ($2,400 each for the primary and the general).

It was "good" for SARAH at the time! Kind of like her support of McCain...no principles, no values, just good 'ol fashioned hardball POLITICS!

According to Palin, "she had SarahPAC contribute to Murkowski's campaign primarily to dispel rumors that she would challenge Lisa Murkowski for the U.S. Senate."

“According to Palin, “she had SarahPAC contribute to Murkowski’s campaign primarily to dispel rumors that she would challenge Lisa Murkowski for the U.S. Senate.”

Just like her “I didn’t endorse Murkowski in the 2004 election because my son asked me to step out of the limelight. Therefore, I am endorsing Murkowski’s opponent, because, you know, that should keep me even more out of the limelight and my supporters will believe any shat on a shingle I serve up to them. And, my hand told me so.”

And, my hand told me so.

Actually I’m surprised she didn’t say “I am contributing to Lisa because it’s best for the people of Alaska and Trig told me she didn’t want me getting back in the limelight.”

Ooops...he.

No Bob, doesn't work that way. You cannot posture and rant and lie your way out of this this time.

You posted here as some "superior intellectual" who had all the facts at this command based on your "10 years study" of the issues. Yet your "facts" have been documented to be made up nonsense.

You don't now get to continue posturing as a know-it-all when you are prove a liar. You have to actually provide documented evidence to back up your claims not just continue to rant and posture.
