This bitch is EXACTLY the kind of liberal elitist that we need to get rid of.
Then we need to all be writing to the various oil companies and telling them if they continue to stab us in the back (by pressuring senate republicans to keep Lisa in her position) then we will stop supporting them. Let them find out what it would be like to have the republcans across the country turn their backs when the congress goes after them for profits.
Meet the new RNC...
Same as the old RNC...
My disgust for them is second only to the EMOrats.
Maybe we could get Dick Cheney to take her on a hunting trip?
Names, we need names. Someone needs to leak the names of those who stood up and backed her (beside the obnoxious twins from Maine and probably McCain)
Just sent him $25 because I despise elitists like Murkowski.
Keep in mind that I was attacked just last week by the Washington establishment for supporting Christine O'Donnell -- a conservative -- because they believe her nomination will hand the seat to a Democrat in Delaware. This week, however, that same establishment voted to help Lisa Murkowski -- a moderate -- defeat the Republican nominee, which could hand the seat to a Democrat in Alaska
Preach it, brother!
RiNo’s like Castle, Crist & MurCOWski are showing their true colors.

Murkowski keeps energy committee post
Libby Casey, APRN
WASHINGTON, D.C (2010-09-22) Senator Lisa Murkowski prevailed in Washington today (Wednesday), hanging on to her job as the top Republican on the Energy Committee.
The Republican members of the Senate met behind closed doors to discuss Murkowski’s future.
Conservative Senator Jim DeMint was calling for her to lose her ranking slot on the energy committee. That job is a plum assignment for Murkowski, who gets to deal with oil and gas regulation, renewable resources, and a host of other energy issues.
She advanced the Sealaska lands-selection bill through the committee. The measure would complete the native corporation’s land claims. But it is controversial, attracting opposition from national environmental groups and some in Southeast Alaska.
Republican leaders have come down hard on her for launching a write-in campaign to keep her Senate seat. Joe Miller beat Murkowski in last month’s primary, and Washington Republicans have closed ranks around him.
Going into the meeting, some Republicans were speculating that Murkowski would be punished by losing the energy assignment. But when the conference emerged from today’s meeting, she still had her ranking status. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas:
“No action was taken on the energy committee issue. No action. And I think, you know, Lisa resigned from leadership.”
Murkowski stepped down last week from her post as Vice Chair of the Republican conference after pressure from minority leader Mitch McConnell and others. Hers was the most junior of the five leadership jobs in the Senate, and she was the only woman. She was replaced in that job today by Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming.
Hutchison says that’s punishment enough.
“That’s exactly what happened, and I think that’s the right result, and I think everyone agrees with that, and I think she on her own chose to step down from leadership, and that was the right thing for her to do, and we all accept that.”
If Murkowski had lost her job as ranking Republican on energy, at least some of her staff would’ve been immediately out of a job. As it is they’ll stay at work for now. Murkowski did not attend today’s meeting in the Capitol Building to plead her case – instead she’s in Alaska campaigning.
‘She’s our friend’: GOP reverses course, doesn’t demote Lisa Murkowski
You’re onto something. Keep in mind that retired and defeated DC politicians usually turn to influence peddling.
Remember in December.
I'd love to have the names of every one of the RINOs who voted in her favor. They all deserve primary challenges next time.
we still dont have the names of those who was in the closed meeting
Hatch
“She’s still a senator until the end of this year and, regardless, she’s our friend,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah after a Republican caucus met to vote on the issue.
I’m too angry to make an intelligent comment about this.
Kay Bailey Hutchison
