“DeMint told POLITICO. “If she wins, which it appears she will, I’m going to congratulate her and welcome her back.
-That would be a grievous error in judgment, Mr. Demint. You may want to rethink this one. She is not your friend. She is not a friend of conservatism. She will betray you, and conservatism.”

—I’m guessing he’s just trying to be polite under the circumstances (which of course is never requested of non-Conservatives). It’s one thing to say “welcome back”, and another thing to actually mean it.

I think in the end, DeMint should play his trump card: Murkowski and Castle were primaried because they didn’t want to repeal the massive 1/6 of-the-economy monstrosity, Obamacare. DeMint was merely standing up for what the public overlwhelmingly was demanding. He thus represented the people, and the Establishment represented the narrow interests of its own clique...

So, it’s the Establishment’s duty now to get on board and support DeMint...

The fact that they self-inflicted wounds proves her point.

I only wish there were some way for me to present Ms. Murky with a single digit salute.

Being polite to libtards is self defacating (urban slang.)One never craps in his own mess kit. Lisa is a libtard full of herself. She should switch parties immediately. Rather than welcoming her back, DeMint, and other like minded conservatives, should be encouraging her to do so.

This is no time to be polite. Our survival is at risk. Politeness, under the threats we now face, is self defacating. (Again, urban slang for crapping in your own mess kit.)

Of course she will - she has nothing to lose. She now knows she can win her seat without conservatives or the Republican Party altogether. Before she at least threw conservatives some table scraps from time to time...now I bet she will be like the ladies from Maine.

That's a given. And with the aiding and abetting of the Alaskan Division of Elections, in violation of Alaskan law, she still has a chance. So, I include her in my nightly prayers. I pray, in the final count, she loses.

God Bless America!

Murkowksi said: “I think [DeMint]'s out for his own initiative.”

Liberal projection alert.

When I comment on somebody’s thread I generally ping that original poster. I see it as a courtesy but if you’d rather I didn’t, I’ll try to recall that in the future.

I agree that a solid conservative could have won in Colorado and Nevada. Whether the runners up in those primaries qualified as such I don’t know, but certainly those states aren’t California, the Pacific Northwest, or the Northeast where conservatives probably can’t win.

O’Donnell was just too easy for the Left to demonize.

Maybe. My point is that I think a solid conservative can still win in Nevada and Colorado; it wasn’t the lack of a so-called moderate in those races that led to defeat.

I knew Angle was hopeless when she said she didn’t know if her illegal immigration ad featured latinos. Instead of owning up to it and defending the truth about illegal immigration, she wobbled and sounded like an idiot.

It does no good to have a Republican majority if its populated with Quislings.

An excision is exactly what is needed!

Excision: 1. Surgical removal, as in the excision of a tumor. 2. The removal as if by surgery,...

I would just like to say: Thanks a lot, Alaska. You had a perfectly good candidate and you gave us this sorry excuse for a human being instead.
