Murkowski: I’m worried that Republicans are spending too much time on ObamaCare
Hot Air ^ | January 22, 2011 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 01/22/2011 9:20:25 AM PST by RobinMasters

My annoyance here isn’t because her point is invalid — I said the same thing last night about taking care to keep Congress’s priorities in line with voters’ — but that, as a member of the caucus, she’s gift-wrapping a meme for the media about the GOP “overplaying its hand” or whatever. The Times a few other outlets have already picked it up, in fact.

Yes, of course it’s important for Republicans to keep spending and the economy as their first order of business (ask former Speaker Pelosi about that), but isn’t that bound to happen now anyway? The House just voted to instruct the various committees to work on drafting alternate health-care legislation, which means this issue should be off the radar screen for weeks or months.

DeMint’s promising to somehow force a vote on the repeal bill in the Senate, but that’ll fail and then O-Care will end up on the backburner in that chamber too.

Meanwhile, we’ve got Obama set to talk about spending and deficits and jobs jobs jobs on Tuesday night and an epic battle about the debt ceiling coming next month, so I’m not really seeing how we’re dangerously bogged down in this issue. The Democrats spent nine months flailing around in the health-care quicksand. Boehner’s spent, what, 10 days? Even an eeyore like me isn’t worried (yet).

I recall my mama cautioning me to be careful what I wish for......so murky wished she would be reelected, and indeed made it happen. now she lives with the consequences. the house could care less about her and her wishes now, so let her sit in the senate and fume.

Thanks, you Eskimos, for voting for this RINO in Democrat’s clothing. If McConnell had any spine, he’d kick her and Maine’s Marx Sisters out of the Republican caucus. Nothing would be lost because they vote Democrat anyway and simply provide BO with the fig leaf of “bipartisanship.”

Murkowski, don’t you have more pressing things to do... like scrub the walls of your new senate office... the office that has only a crapper for a desk?

We really need an active wing of the Tea Party movement in Alaska. There is a lot of stuff happening there.

That is an excellent idea.

The GOP leaders should stop counting on this RINO clone of Snowe and Collins now...she was probably elected by Dems anyway.

She's just a daddy's girl!

Quoting Rodney Dangerfield again, because it fits so well in this case.

hey redpoll, what was the reason, in your oppinion, this hag won. was it all GOP machine stuff, did they paint Miller in a certain way, and did he deserve it? Whatever you could share with the lower 48 would be interesting.

Hopefully the organizers will consider this, even though the state is not as prominent. Call it reinforcements. ;-)

Again, you misuse an otherwise perfectly good term ~ but if you are referring to LEFTWINGTARDS, I don’t grant them the presumption of imagining that they think.

Cowski, don't worry about what Republicans are doing. It's none of your business.

Just because you bought a Wonder Woman Halloween costume doesn't mean you're part of the League of Justice.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

We seem to have an entirely Democrat senatorial delegation in Alaska at the moment. Just goes to show you what greed, willful ignorance, and an elitist media can accomplish.
