Lisa Murkowski Calls Tea Party Group "Extremist"
CBS News ^ | Tuesday, September 14, 2010 | Brian Montopoli

SNIP

In the statement, Murkowski said she would not run as a Libertarian candidate, which means that if she does run it will be as a write-in candidate. In explaining her decision, Murkowski had some harsh words for the Tea Party Express, which backed Miller.

"...After meeting with the Libertarian candidate last week and considering that option, I cannot in good conscience seek the Libertarian nomination," she said. "As disappointed as I am in the outcome of the Primary and my belief that the Alaska Republican Party was hijacked by the Tea Party Express, an outside extremist group, I am not going to quit my party. I will not wrap myself in the flag of another political party for the sake of election at any cost."

Why is it when a conservative loses to a RINO, they vow to help the RINO. But it seems the RINO vows to help the dem.

Republican cannibalism strikes again. It would really be nice for once if the ‘Pubs would fight against the real enemy (’Rats) instead of each other.

For much of the Republican establishment, we are the real enemy. That is the most important implication of this election season: it is forcing the hand of the establishment.

Wow, she needs a muzzle. What a sore loser.

Women candidates have got to learn how to lose gracefully as well as win.

“I will not wrap myself in the flag of another political party for the sake of election at any cost.”

Translation: “The Libertarians didn’t want me.”

Anybody who thinks that the Tea Party is "extremist" deserves to lose. Say goodbye, Lisa.

RINOs are just as much the “real enemy” as the “moderate democrats”.

I can’t stand lousy, stinking, traitorous Republican sore losers. These no good SOBs scorch the earth when they lose and provide credibility to RAT accusations of “extremism”. Look for Lisa to get a gig on some lefty cable news show as a “conservative” panel member.

extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Ya beat me to it.Shades of Barry Goldwater in '64,and I remember it well.

This whole Tea Party thing has much the same feel,except for the fact that I'm 46 years older!!

That’s the problem. Murkowski doesn’t consider the Dems an enemy. She’d rather a Democrat win the seat than a conservative Republican because her true beliefs are in line with the Dems.

STFU, murkowski, you dried-up, political-loser hag. You epitomize the worthlessness of a father appointing his daughter to “his” seat. If it weren’t for him, you’d be running garage sales out of your dumpster.

This is interesting. We’re starting to see the real sides take shape. Murkowski, Rove, etc for big government.

Bawhahahaha

Lisa was told to F off by the (L) party. She’s got NOTHING.

The people have told her - YOU ARE FIRED. As in it’s RINO season.

Lisa, learn to live with it, Daddy can’t save you this time....
