I can understand Joe Miller's concern about the GOP machine trying to manipulate the situation. I also know that the GOP Senate Election committee is probably going to take a side on this one when they shouldn't.

However I don't think that Mr. Miller helps himself with these statements. He should have keep his concerns private while looking for help in making sure that the results are counted fairly.

Invocating the name of Al Franken will result in unnecessary turmoil in his quest to join a body which is still not recovered from the seating of Senator Franken.

There is no need to cause problems for himself. The DEMs may still control the U.S. Senate even if he wins the general Election in November.

YOU need to get educated. In MN the Sec of State was a Soros toady. In AK the Lt Gov run elections and is right now a Gov Appointee. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Eh, even if the Left controls the senate, we want confrontation, not cooperation. I want a Jesse Helms type of guy whose focus is doing the right thing and not maintaining friendly relations with bad human beings like Al Franken or Patrick Leahy.

Joe Miller Fires A Shot In Alaska

The NRSC has sent its top lawyer to Alaska on Lisa Murkowski’s behalf and Joe Miller went on Fox today to point out the NRSC is inappropriately meddling in the race now, even though Murkowski is flirting with an independent or write-in bid.

Well, I’ve just received a copy of a letter (PDF) from Miller’s attorneys demanding the disqualification of Lisa Murkowski campaign observer Bonnie Jack.

The Alaska Division of Elections staff and Joe Miller’s staff observed Ms. Jack using confidential voter information and then calling a voter based on that information. The Miller team wants Ms. Jack disqualified.

-- - - - - - - - ................And you were saying exacly what about Mr. Miller keeping his concerns to himself?...................

I disagree. We NEED politicians who are going to open their mouths about the lies, cheating and attempt to destroy the country that’s going on in the democrat party - not ones who are going to hide under their desks. This kind of thing will make him very popular with the people. To hell with what those vermin in Congress think of him.

The bottom line is that GOP Congressional committee is willing to expend resources to keep Murkowski and were not as willing to expend resources in a general election that seated Franken. Their stepping into this primary may have major implications in the November election. The result is that a large part of the now energized voting public will be disillusioned enough to let the Dems have the whole country. I for one do not hold the Senate Republicans in high esteem. We want our party back and the RINO’s OUT!

If Murkowski doesn’t concede she will absolutely lose whatever reaming support she did have, and its not much, here in Alaska people are just plain pissed off that she has become so anti-republican they are darn near ready to storm Lowes for roofing cement and Walmart for chinese fake feather pillows.

I think she is getting a lot of support from the democratic party on this, the truth will eventually come out, this is Alaska and not the lower 48, we tend to do pretty good law enforcing still.

The corruption and “insider clubs” in Alaska would put Chicago to shame. Palin talks about it allot in her book.

The Murkowski’s are very much a part of that insiders club - and she will not go down without trying something underhanded to stay in power, and she will have help from others in that club. And some members live and work today in D.C.

It’s not a matter of someone else “Pulling an Al Franken”... it’s about Joe Miller NOT pulling a Norm Coleman and rolling over playing dead.

I I lived in Alaska and Lisa Murkowski steals this election from Joe Miller, SHE WOULD NEVER GET MY VOTE! If she steals this primary, she is effectively giving the seat to the Rat. I hope the Republican establishment realizes this.

More like the RNC trying to hold a “coronation”. How ever the count comes out, My bet is Miller wins, the RNC will bless him and say go and sin no more my son. WATCH.

Good for Miller. The United Stated will lose if Tea Party people give deference to thugs because they are in elected office.

Contempt for the American citizen by “elected” orficials like Al Franken is one of the root causes of the terrible predicament in which our nation finds itself. We must face the center of power honestly. Someone doesn’t deserve honor for stealing an election.

I don't think you get it. Joe Miller isn't going there to "get along", neither is Mike Lee nor Rand Paul. They are going to shake up the system and turn Washington on its head.

We didn't vote for unusual politicians just to get politics as ususal.

The Idiot Franken is a Democrat so we expect sleazy behavior. Murkowski is, allegedly, a Republican. Any sleazy tactics will be frowned upon. Maybe she should consider “pulling a Specter!”

"We are looking right now to make sure that the election - that the votes - are accounted for fairly, without any type of game play," Miller said in an interview on Fox Business Network. "It concerns us any time somebody lawyers up and tries to pull an Al Franken, if you will. We are very concerned that there may be some attempt here to skew the results."

I don't think that Mr. Miller helps himself with these statements. He should have keep his concerns private while looking for help in making sure that the results are counted fairly.

Sorry, but I vehemently disagree with you. It's time that the complacent, American voter woke up and smelled the coffee and are made to know that the politicians they keep sending back to Washington, term after term, are a bunch of lying, cheating, scummy, thugs who will do anything to keep their plush job, exhorbitant salary and to hell with the little people.
YOU GO JOE!!! GIVE 'EM HELL. DON'T ROLL OVER FOR THEM.
