Lieberman did the same thing, except that he ran as an Independent and Murkowski ran as a Republican write-in.

”the voters elected a Democrat so it is only fair to appoint another Democrat” would be the rationale. It's too bad they never think "the voters elected me to be a check and balance against the Democrats..."

Murkowski needs to primaried badly She already was primaried in 2010, and she just shrugged her shoulders and ran as a write-in.

The fly in the ointment is how quickly they can disarm Americans.

Now that they are out of power the Republicans can pretend to be conservatives.

It was a great write-in campaign, considering her last name.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Winning an election via write-in at the statewide level vs the two existing parties on the ballot was truly an epic accomplishment.

There is a reason that they are called representatives. They need to be shown, somehow, that they actually represent the people that voted them in.

"Palin made a video recently in which she warned Lisa that she might run against her."
Gov. Palin was the FIRST thing that popped into my mind. This witch LOST against Sarah, and threw a wrench in the system to win.
I was picturing Sarah running against her again(and winning), then cleaning the toilets with the wench's face >.<

Not for the DC oligarchs. Watch how often they use the term "govern". or worse.

“I’ll show the Republican Party a thing or two,” growled long-time Republican Bud Harper of Plano, Texas as he cleaned his AR-15. “If they can’t get their act together, I’ll go right to the ballot box and vote Republican again. Hard.”
So if Republicans aren’t going to listen to the people who voted for them, his solution is to stay stuck on stupid and vote for them again to teach them all a lesson........that there are voters with guns that are dumb as bricks!
Stupid is as stupid does!
SanchoP should have included the link to the original article: https://babylonbee.com/news/having-been-betrayed-by-republican-judges-conservatives-vow-to-vote-republican-even-harder-next-time
If you had seen that it was from the Babylon Bee, you would have known that it was satire.
Of course, the satire is telling because there are indeed voters who will act like the fictitious Bud Harper, even if they wouldn't be that clear about their reasoning.

To: Bikkuri
Murkowski didn’t exactly lose to Sarah Palin. Murkowski lost the 2010 Republican primary to Joe Miller, who was endorsed by Palin. As others have noted, Murkowski then won the general election as a write-in candidate.
There was a Murkowski-Palin race, but it involved Lisa Murkowski’s father, Frank Murkowski. In 2006 he was the incumbent Governor, seeking re-election. Sarah beat him in the Republican primary and, of course, went on to win the governorship.

In which the witch had to have her vendetta...
I think that action, and the results, were the first warning sign, to the ones that hadn’t already seen the situation, about the corruption going on.
Of course, many of us observed this happening decades before, many saw it coming before I was even born.
(Walter F. Mondale, who lost the war for us by claiming we lost the war (Vietnam), even though we had eliminated more than 90% of the opposing forces..)
(Joseph McCarthy, of whom the leftists claim LIES, LIES, LIES; but he was 99% correct in stating that the communists had already infilterated the government/education/media/entertainment; but his statements were verified through the Venona papers.)
(I would link them, but am too lazy at the moment to do all of the HTML coding to post.)
