Alaska Democrats will make sure she wins her primary. If she does then freepers should vote her out anyway.

What she really means is that she can serve her evil masters better from the republican side versus the democrat side.

[Murkowski and Manchin are both political whores. AK and WV need to vote these two lightweights out of office. ]


Joe Miller almost unseated her. I also understand why “almost” ended up being the signature word for his campaign to win that seat. He ran, essentially, on a libertarian platform. He opposed unemployment bennies. I understand orthodox libertarians oppose all forms of government welfare, but this is a major league vote loser. Not even Ron Paul opposes unemployment bennies. If he could be persuaded to run again, this time disavowing that particular libertarian plank, I suspect the seat might be his until he gets Thurmonded our of it, i.e. when the Grim Reaper’s proximity gets to the point they could shake hands.

That she has to state this speaks volumes.

"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."

"If this doesn't show them we mean business, nothing will." He then shot his AR-15 into the air as a warning shot to the Republicans about his plan to keep voting Republican no matter what.

What we need is for Patrick Leahy to get sick and leave the Senate.

If Leahy goes, the Senate will become 50-49 with a Republican Governor in Vermont to appoint his replacement. That will make it 51R-49D and Republicans will retake control.

Murkowski will have much more influence as a Republican in a 50-50 or 51R-49D Senate than she will as a Democrat in a 51D-49R Senate. At the first sign of voting with her former caucus, she will be punished so fast in a way that would never happen on the GOP side of the aisle.

Sounds like a plan.

How can I help?

Why would she switch parties when she can make so much money selling her votes to the democrat mega donors? If she were a Democrat, she would have to vote the way they tell her, or else. As a republican, she can sell her votes to the highest bidder and become very wealthy.

Palin made a video recently in which she warned Lisa that she might run against her.

Murkowski needs to primaried badly - she can be taken out

Didn't they try that once? Beat her in the primary and she ran as an independent and won anyway?

Don't be so sure. The VT Governor is a very left-wing RINO. He'd probably appoint another Stalinazi Satanist Demonrat.

Because that dumb bitch is still smart enough to know that Demonrats have a poor chance of being elected in Alaska.

Bad news...
Although, basically she already is part of the newly elected Communist Party by staying with the current GOP...

Yup. And Cheney will do the same thing. Trump’s team needs to seek out Republicans in other states, with the same names as incumbents, and relocate them to run in a primary, and as third party if necessary. It would be costly, but likely only slightly more costly than a full campaign. There is no way other than ugly, to disgorge embedded swamp creatures.

She’ll lose all her power if she goes dem, she’ll be forced to walk in lockstep, and won’t be able to play deciding vote.

Excellent point.
