Oh, man! I think my head is going to explode!

This article dubs Murkowski as the "New Maverick" in the Senate!

You just gotta know that John "McRINO" McCain is going to be UNHAPPY to hear he's been robbed of THAT title, huh? :)

MAVERICK is just media code for a Republican had acts like a Democrat.

TRAITOR would be more appropriate.

[Scanian]

“New Maverick” my ass...just an old RINO is all she is.

[Red Badger]

I hope those people in Alaska are real happy with what they have done......................

[Eye of Unk]

She is a sellout, I wonder how many offshore bank accounts she has in her name.

The ONLY reason that Murkowski is back in the Senate is due to the support/votes the Dems gave her in November. I am convinced she will switch parties soon. She may as well, she isn't Conservative at all.

All the idiots have to do is deny her a ranking membership of any committee or subcommittee. Hit her where it hurts. That will make her scream.

But of course they won’t, senate comity and all.

Lisa Murkowski isn’t gunning down caribou on national TV like that other famous Alaskan

No, she's "gunning down" the Tea Party.

[BradyLS]

Murkowski is already showing a fierce independent streak, becoming the only Republican to cast votes for all four items on President Barack Obama’s wish list: a repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” a tax cut compromise, the START treaty and cloture for the DREAM Act.

This is like saying Benedict Arnold was "fiercely independent" for deserting the Continental Army and to fight for the British.

Alaska, the new California.

**“She’s a person who makes up her own mind, does what she thinks is right and always keeps the concerns of her state at the forefront,” moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told POLITICO of Murkowski, adding that the Alaskan was an important ally in helping to overturn DADT.**

Translation: She is a “RINO” and should have run as a Democrat! Just like Susan Collins!

Merry Christmas, Y’all !!

“She’s a person who makes up her own mind, does what she thinks is right and always keeps the concerns of her state at the forefront,” moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told POLITICO of Murkowski, adding that the Alaskan was an important ally in helping to overturn DADT.”

Her “credibility” is further enhanced by this comment from the ultimate RINO, Susan Collins.

Can the people of Alaska somehow remove her from office?

becoming the only Republican to cast votes for all four items on President Barack Obama’s wish list:

According to a chart on another thread, so did Snowe, Collins, Brown, and Voinevich.

> Murkowski is already showing a fierce independent streak

Why is it that when a Republican goes all out to vote with the DemonRATs, the press calls them “independent” and “maverick”, rather than TREACHEROUS and BACKSTABBING.

[crazyhorse691]

How come all moderates are referred to as republican? Can’t the rats produce any of their own moderates to stab the country in the back?

[fabian]

In the old old days these types would be tarred and feathered!

[DooDahhhh]

I think she is an embarressment.

[theDentist]

Lisa Murkowski: Betraying you all to make a point; Daddy GAVE her this Seat.

[MeekOneGOP]

Y’all have NAILED it exactly!

Merry Christmas !! :)

You got that right, she sold out to be the new political version of the “Paris Gun” against Sarah Palin, the TEA Party and of course lately Joe Miller.

I can only hope she does something flagrantly illegal that finally gets the attention of these brain dead blind election officials. If Alaskan keep shedding light upon her then eventually they will find her darker hidden secrets.
