Can Scott McAdams Take Lisa Murkowski’s U. S. Senate Seat – With Sarah Palin’s Help?

By: EdwardTeller Tuesday July 20, 2010 3:45 pm

U.S. Senate candidate, Sitka Alaska’s progressive mayor, Democrat Scott McAdams, trails U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski in polls. But Sarah Palin has endorsed Murkowski’s challenger, Tea Party Express favorite Joe Miller in the August 24th GOP primary. Palin has a lot of prestige riding on being able to pull off this win. But, as we will see in 2010, Palin’s ability to pick primary winners might not work out so well for her picks in November.

Monday, candidate Miller released a batch of documents showing he had left his Fairbanks City Attorney job under less of a cloud than had been suspected by many. This comes as the Tea Party Express has sent chairwoman Amy Kremer to Alaska to seriously put the upset of Murkowski onto the front burner here in Alaska, and nationwide:

Kremer and other Tea Party Express leaders were in Anchorage to talk about their support for Miller’s Republican primary campaign against U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The California-based group said the Miller-Murkowski race would be its "singular focus" between now and the Aug. 24 primary, and that it will do whatever it takes for him to win.

"You’re going to see several hundred thousand dollars spent on this race in television, in radio, in get-out-the-vote efforts," said Bryan Shroyer, the political director for the Tea Party Express.

Palin has endorsed Miller over Murkowski:

"Though the media has tried to portray some sort of feud or bad blood between Lisa and myself, such is not the case," Palin wrote. "I’ve always wished her well, but it is my firm belief that we need a bold reformer who is not afraid to stand up to special interests and take on the tough challenges of our time."

A Palin aide said that the former Alaska governor may do an event for Miller down the line, although nothing is currently planned.

While Palin sought to downplay the idea of any ill will between the two families, it is extremely uncommon for a governor (or former governor) to endorse against an incumbent in a primary fight — unless that incumbent is scandal-plagued or unelectable. Murkowski is neither.

This episode also fits neatly into a running storyline about the feud between the two families.

Palin defeated Murkowki’s father, then-Gov. Frank Murkowski (R), in the 2006 gubernatorial primary; she also backed Lisa Murkowski’s 2004 primary challenger, Mike Miller.

The Tea Party Express has made a $100,000.00 Miller ad buy, which will go a long way in Alaska’s radio-TV market, with very few outlets.

Racists, racists everywhere!

One thing is for certain, electing a black man to the office of president has united this country unlike anything ever. What a uniter he is.

Now our own reps calling us racists while Mr. Cracker Baby killer gets let off, and the superior black bureaucrat who needs to be more careful what she say to her people gets defended by our side...

I think this train called america is on a track that is missing a bridge, and it’s going full speed ahead.

Lisa Murkowski not a part of the Tea Party revolution


By Dan Fagan

The Alaska Standard 

Is it a coincidence that the lazy and bias Anchorage Daily News didn’t mention U.S. Senate candidate Joe miller is a decorated combat veteran in its profile piece of his race to challenge Lisa Murkowski?

Is it just an honest mistake the Daily News also reported Miller wanted to phase out Social Security when in reality he wants to privatize or personalize it. Like former President Bush, Miller wants to give us the option of investing our own money for retirement instead of having the government hold onto it. Did the Daily News accidently get this wrong?

Or it is possible the Daily News and other liberal media outlets are out to paint Miller as a fringe, right wing nut job who has no chance against Murkowski? Is it possible? You bethcha.

The establishment media has already laid the groundwork to stop the Tea Party by portraying the movement as one dominated by crazy, gun toting, and angry racists. But that’s what happens in any culture when you take on the status quo.

But the truth is the Tea Party is not at all like what the media and other establishment Republicans will tell you. It is simply a movement founded on the principle that we are a constitutional republic. That government is growing and freedom is diminishing.

Lisa Murkowski is the perfect example of the candidate the Tea Party is looking to oust. And the group Tea Party Express plans on spending a half million dollars getting the work out that Lisa Murkowski does not respect the constitution.

And their plan just may work. Here’s what the Associated Press recently reported on the Murkowski, Miller race,

“Miller is part of the next wave of Republican primary candidates counting on a public weary of Washington and the stale economy, and eager for fresh faces. Could Miller be the next Rand Paul or Sharron Angle -- Tea Party-backed candidates who stunned GOP powerbrokers in Kentucky and Nevada?

She’ll get lots of nice coverage from the MSM - and it’ll feel good until she realizes they only like her because she bashes her own...

Just remind them of who the REAL racists (and anti-Americans) are...

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

"The Justice Department originally brought the case against four armed men who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of "white devil" and "cracker" and told voters they should prepare to be "ruled by the black man." ..."

One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.

As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”

He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”...”

Dear Lisa

Don’t look for revenge. Look for another job.

Black, white, Catholic, Protestant, Republican, Democrat, male, female, rich, poor, et al. are smoke and mirrors to deflect Americans from from coming to terms with the concept that Progressivism equals treason against the Republic. Political correctness is the putrescent stench that wafts from the body politic infected with Marxist ideology. These labels and accusations are simply intended to make you break stride, to question your motives, and to direct your attention to that which is ultimately meaningless. Your focus must remain on making them ashamed of the Progressive label.

Mayhaps Senator Murkowski is still mad that Sarah Palin sold Gov. Frank Murkowski’s plane on E-Bay?

“Racist” means white person nothing else, and it allows discrimination against said white person.

I would imagine she is a winner. People in AK usually make poor election choices.
