Please tell me how Joe is going make all of this happen? Joe probably does not know where the bath rooms are in the Senate building and you think that the potential loss of a very important chair is not important? Why is this chair not important to Alaska?

Are you related to Lisa? I am not from Alaska. My guess is the republican who ends up heading the chair will do just fine. They will have two years to practice up anyway, Bambi will veto anything meaningful. That is a pretty lame excuse to me.

Well the Revolution has to start somewhere.
So your point is that the State of Alaska is better served by a Senator who will try and keep her seat by hook or crook instead of abiding by the election results?
That is like making a deal with the Devil, let me keep my corrupt people, you go somewhere else.
Change and I mean Real Change has to start somewhere, I live in Arkansas and Sen. Blanche Lincoln is Chairwoman of the Agriculture Committee, by your reasoning I should overlook her Leftie Liberalism and keep her on because she has that Committee spot.
Well no deal, if we as Conservatives are committed to acting on our principles and trying to make the change necessary to save this country and get it back on track then that means electing people that feel the same way.
Murkowski isn't one of those people. Joe Miller may or may not work out but he stands for change and a new direction and I trust that yes he will find his way to the Senate Washroom without too much trouble.

If you are a Lisa Murkowski fan, what are you doing on Freerepublic. This is a conservative site. Lisa Murkowski is no conservative, and I daresay neither are you.

Oh, you wanted the goods. Try this on for size, pop:

“In July 2007, Murkowski stated she would sell back land she bought from Anchorage businessman Bob Penney, a day after a Washington watchdog group filed a Senate ethics complaint against her, alleging that Penney sold the property well below market value. The Anchorage Daily News noted, “The transaction amounted to an illegal gift worth between $70,000 and $170,000, depending on how the property was valued, according to the complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center.” According to the Associated Press, Murkowski bought the land from two developers tied to the Ted Stevens probe.

In 2008, Murkowski amended her Senate financial disclosures for 2004 through 2006, adding income of $60,000 per year from the sale of a property in 2003, and more than $40,000 a year from the sale of her “Alaska Pasta Company” in 2005.”
