In response to Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski voting *not* to advance the supreme court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Sarah Palin sends the following tweet: Hey @Lisa Murkowski I can see 2022 from my house.
___________
Do it, Sarah. Long term CTH readers will well remember how Tea Party candidate Joe Miller was backed by Sarah Palin when he stunningly defeated Lisa Murkowski during the republican primary in 2010. However, Murkowski would not accept the primary defeat and the entitlement-minded incumbent ran as a write-in candidate, and enlisted the assistance of democrats in Alaska to retain her seat in the general election.
The Tea Party was furious at the level of elitist refusal to accept the primary defeat in 2010, and Senator Murkowski has been a thorn in the side of conservatives ever since.
In a further slap to the face for the base of the movement, when Murkowski returned to the Senate as a successful write-in candidate, the 2011 professional republican apparatus, the Decepticons, never held her accountable for her insufferable self-interest. Instead the GOPe, through then minority leader Mitch McConnell, allowed Murkowski to return to the same committee positions she held before rebuking the will of the republican electorate.
Murkowskis vote today to block advancing nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh is yet another exhibition of her ideological self-interest.

“She will flip if the Democrats need her.”
What does that mean? Sarah would flip to help the Rats?
She took her father out mine as well take the daughter out. She needs to do something about Trac and his PTSD issues
I think it’s important, before we get too excited about Sarah Palin’s political future, to wait and see what Alyssa Milano has to say about the whole thing.
I was thinking the same thing. If she plans on leaving Alaska, how can she run for the US Senate seat that Murkowski holds?
“The types of folks that come to Alaska are for the most part Mercenaries, Missionaries and Misfits.”
That’s actually quite rude. You can add, “Military”, to your cute little List Of “M”s, as thousands go to Alaska via Uncle Sam. That’s how I got there. I found the people to be tough free thinkers, very un-PC, and wonderful people. I hate to think what my life would’ve been like if not for my years in Alaska when I was young.
It would be perfect timing to put dems on the spot for believing the woman.
One angle would be to bombard the state, with ads, that Murkowski and the Dem’s are coming for all the guns, will severely limit hunting and lower the limits on fishing/crabbing. She’ll take 75% or more. The 25% that don’t vote for her will be all the Liberals that have moved to Anchorage because they watched a few shows on the Discovery channel or NATGEO.
Please, do it!!!!!!!!!
This is not breaking news.
It was announced yesterday afternoon and posted here, then.
Alaska is full of strange people that moved there to get away from everything.
I know someone who moved there after getting an embarrassing ticket for indecent exposure from peeing on the side of the road, next to a field.
I imagine in some states that is a sexual crime.
Palin just announced she is moving out of Alaska.
Not rude, rather an honest observation of the pioneering independent types that were first drawn to Seward's Folly. Yes, add military, but I was quoting an expression made about 50-60 years ago.
They arrived in Alaska as cheechakos defined as a new-comer to Alaska, ignorant of the terrain, the weather, the animals, the culture, the necessary driving skills in the winter, etc. Opposite of a sourdough.
I have heard many Alaskans use the phrase about themselves, adding that they were at times all three.
I will add one personal account.
I was on a work assignment at Kodiak Alaska nearly 40 years ago. I remember a story related by a woman. She had come to Kodiak during a summer to work the fish canneries for college tuition. She had been a nursing major.
I asked her why she did not return and continue her career goals. Her response was that in Alaska she had experienced for the first time a people that accepted her as she was. She had discovered that Alaskans are not pretentious.
Very true. My financial planner has about a dozen completely unrelated clients in Alaska. He travels there a few times a year!
Good observation.
That would be a great idea.
btt
“in Alaska she had experienced for the first time a people that accepted her as she was. She had discovered that Alaskans are not pretentious.”
That’s EXACTLY IT! I couldn’t have said it better. Any person could be himself and there was no “tsk tsk” from anyone.
When I left there after 20 years, I had a very hard time fitting in in the Lower
48. Had to be on guard 24/7 with words, ideas, etc. Had to learn to be a shrinking violet, after being audacious and honest in Alaska.
My ex-husband’s single aunt went there as a teacher in the ‘30s and she had the pioneer mindset. Strong. Outspoken. Independent. One of the most interesting women I’ve ever known.
I pray that the smothering blanket of political correctness will now be yanked off of our nation and that bold individuals will step forward and be free to speak their minds in honestly, integrity and freedom.
I am listening yet again to the speech made by Susan Collins of Maine, knowing that the senior senator from Alaska could not and would not have made such a speech. Time for a change.
To Sarah's List.
You go Girl!
Please Run Sarah Palin!!!!
