Look, I know the Senate is a elitist organization. And most of these people are likely friends with Murkowski. Fine. But Party before friendship. She lost, and move on.

The tacit approval of Murkowski’s behavior shows what is more important to these elitists snobs: and it certainly is not the voters.

Retirement is in order for quite a few of these obsolete “leaders” of the party.

Only the rare person not prone to the thirst for power can resist its seductive flavor.

God bless Jim DeMint, and please Lord, favor the people, and let their will prevail over those who seek to thwart it.

This kind of thing should be expected. These people aren’t going to change overnight. In fact, even if the election unfolds the way we all desire, it’s only the beginning.

Let’s say we take the House and the Senate. The Rinosaurs will still be a problem, and the lobbyists will go nuts trying to sustain the status-quo. Conservatives are going to be on these people like white on rice every single day.

As for our ‘new-hires’, we need to offer classes to them taught by really experienced people, regarding how to handle K Street. Those people scare me more than Pelosi ever did.

Keep in mind that the Democrats are still only a single vote away from a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. If Murkowski goes full-Crist or Spector and starts voting with the Dems, then lots of left-wing mischief can ensue during a lame duck session. While we may pick up some additional seats in the special elections in IL, DE & WV, those are all toss-ups at best. And even if we win one or more, every seat makes it tougher for the Dems to pass legislation by buying off enough Republicans to break filibuster.

If we had 45 seats I’d be all for kicking Murkowski out. But the sad reality is that we still need her vote for a few months. Letting her keep her seniority for that time seems like an unpleasant but worthwhile price for keeping it.

What is wrong with these people? They will NEVER get it, and frankly, I do not want this type of person “leading” me.

We need to get back to a time when Senators actually represented the best interests of their States.

All of us have been aware that the republican Senate leadership is NOT conservative nor does it care what the voters think except during their own re-elections.
We take the house, we make in-roads in the senate and we remove these scum bags as they come up for re-election. THAT is our only recourse. In the mean time we keep pounding these Republican Senators who are ignoring the people and constantly keep our voices buzzing in their ears until they figure it out or we get rid of them.

Not being an overly violent guy myself I’d love to pop Cornyn in the nose myself but I’ll settle with moving him to the unemployment line come his turn.

that Jim DeMint and his fellow republican senators at are crosshairs.

1. DeMint opposed fellow senators for re-nomination in Ak & UT. That’s nearly without precedence. In +30 years I can only remember Bob Smith (2002) having any fellow senators oppose him for renomination. Everytime a GOP walks down the hall and sees DeMint they have to wonder if they are next.

2. DeMint has set himself up as a man NRSC. Actually more then a one man NRSC as he actively raised money and campaigned for candidates. Actually more then NRSC. Contrary to some urban myths the NRSC only endorsed Crist this year. The NRSC may have encouraged or recruited Blunt-Portman-Ayotte-Norton-Carly F-Boozman among others but it only endorsed Crist (made a PAC primary contribution/ in house support) So DeMint actually went beyond what the NRSC normally does.

I don’t make any judgement on Lisa M. I deplore her doing a write in.

I also think there is much good in what DeMInt is doing but I don’t expect his fellow US senators to hung and kiss him.

I fully expect the MSM to run daily stories on this situation to try to divide us. Lamar Alexander and DeMint may jab their elbows a bit but both are united against Obama.

34 days folks–I don’t want to waste a lot effort now on anything but Joe Miller winning.

Thune just joined the zero list along with the rest of those zeros listed.

Murkowski is scum. She will do damage no matter where she is.

The GOP RINO core translates that to having to keep lying liberal progressives in place and never take a stand.

50 to 75 % of the the current GOP Senate still doesn’t get it that they are unacceptable.

50 to 75% of the current GOP senate needs to be thrown out……yesterday

What is John Thune thinking? If he is seriously considering a bid for the White House, he has to see what is going on with the base and grass roots. How does he expect to win a primary if he stays with those who lost theirs?

I am sick and tired of status quo. It ain’t workin’. If I see just one more bashing in the Republican Party of another “new” Republican or a person who won from the Tea Party, I WILL go to the Board of Elections and change my party affiliation immediately. The days of the “good ol boys” network are over. Deal with it ! This lunatic from Alaska….sit down and shut up !.You were defeated fairly and squarely. Quit whining like a pitiful democrat. Mr. Castle, the same goes for you,,,sit down and shut up ! You people aren’t interested, nor do you care about the American people. All you care about is your sorry ego’s. You need to get over yourself and find a new career. You have worn this one down to a nub. That’s why you were voted out. So stop this nonsense. All you will end up doing is splitting the party and ruining the chances of the “new” folks winning !

That’s what happens when someone speaks the truth where it hasn’t been spoken in a long time. I read Sen. Murkowski quoted lauding the days when Senators could disagree during the day and join each other for “potluck” at night. Honestly, who cares about your stupid potluck?!!! That D.C. club is bankrupting our country and all she can talk about is collegiality (translate, friendly corruption).

Certainly that has to be entering their mind. Some of these guys will be facing election in the upcoming years. What better way to bolster Republican enthusiasm in the elections than by getting rid of big spending, dead weight republican senators? They want no part of the tea party.

Alexander is one of my Senators. My volunteer efforts gave me a chance to meet the Senator and all I told him was that I was tea party member working within the party. They need to know that we are not going away.

they fear the most because that’s who they attack. They attack DeMint and other like minded Conservatives because they scare them to death.

This is just the beginning.
In two years we get another opportunity to continue our Governmental Re-Org.
Then in two years we get another.

So, those tired out, status quo, “moderate” Senators will be fighting for their carriers. And we will see more gnashing of teeth. Waving of false flags. And baseless promises.

the fun part will be that after this year, there will be less of the “Old Boy” “Back Benchers” around to protect them.

And we will once again see the Government “Of the People”

and, as we have seen, is quite capable of defeating the “establishment” candidate. Sure, most of us lean right politically, but we are most definitely against “status quo ante” on both sides of the aisle, Senate and House. Compromise equals surrender when RINOs cooperate with the Socialist/”Progressive” Dems. Enough already!!

as two senators who went “on the record” as opposing Murkowski retaining her status.

Only three, three! senators went with the voters! This is deplorable.

The vote in favor of retaining Murkowski is unforgiveable. Those guys are now TARGETS. The next steps should be:

- Work to support all the current conservative crop you can
- Stay connected with the freshmen congressional additions
- Penetrate voting positions in BOTH parties, but focus on Republican
- Identify, encourage and train solid conservative candidates for 2012
- Identify and support a TRUE conservative presidential candidate in 2012
- Stockpile donations for the campaigns
- Work with early stage prospects in business, city and state govt for 2014 possibilities
- Vote out the targets in 2012/2014

The people of his state should be proud to have him as their senator. We need more like him who are about principles and not about politics and ego. For too long, we have been hoodwinked by RINO’s, who say one thing and do the opposite. The people of Alaska, Delaware, and Florida must stand up and vote for the true conservatives and ditch the establishment Republicans. We need true conservative change in our government and a return to Constitutional principles, not career politicians who simply want to retain their power.

Before AK and DE, I thought DeMint was just a back bencher. However, he has stepped up to the plate in backing O’Donnell when Rove and Charles K. declared her to be a disgrace. I also appreciate DeMint calling out his fellow Senators for excusing Lisa Murky’s 3rd party bid. Its amazing that the GOP establishment will aggressively go after Christine O’Donnell, but treat a proven turn coat like Lisa Murky with “civility”.

and told them that I supported him and his efforts. His staffer said that they have been receiving many negative comments from people, and it hasn’t been easy. So call his office and show your support.

In addition, I called McCain and Kyl’s office and told them that this action was totally unacceptable. Kyl’s staffer argued with me, and told me that she deserves to keep her post until her term expires. I told him that she lost that right when she decided to abandon her party and the voters of her state, and become a write-in candidate.

It proves again…these Senators aren’t listening….

so much, after the people in AK spoke, then they need to be cleansed,
also. All the sore losers need to find other jobs instead of becoming liberals. If any of them side with the Dems during a lame duck session, they kill two things: their careers, and the country!
Shame on them.

Lisa Murkowski’s youtube page and one of her video pages. Unfortunately, I’ve been banned from commenting on her channel or any other video. Sure, I pointed out her daddy appointed her to that senate seat and how she doesn’t care what the voters want, but I also pointed out the good – That they can spell her name right.

Either way, these republicans are becoming increasingly more annoying. Too bad someone couldn’t take the republican leadership from McConnell, like Jim DeMint. Oh well.

CNN/Time / Opinion Research has the AK Senate race closer than Rasmussen.

Lisa Murky says she’ll still align with the GOP if she wins. Yeah right. Murky is getting money from the NEA.

We need to demand all GOP Senator leaders to take strong stands against Murky.

“Our strong tradition in the Republican Conference is to have a free and open exchange and to keep that among ourselves,”

Can anyone explain that to me? If they are “free and open” why are you keeping it to yourselves? Maybe it is just me….. :/

Has just lost any possibility of my support for a presidential run! (not that he cares, but there are more like me I bet)

I would support DeMint over Palin for POTUS if he ran. The main reason is how DeMint has stuck to endorsing real conservatives while taking all kinds of heat for it. The article mentions in a negative way how he endorsed Ovide over Ayotte in NH, but lost.

That was a defining battle for me in which I was very upset that Palin endorsed the much more moderate/establishment pick in Ayotte. Just like she endorsed McCain and Fiorina in the primaries.

I am by no means a Palinista or Palinbot. I do like her story and view her as being more honest then most of the establishment politicians. I relate to the way she got involved in the PTA, then local politics and kept rising through the ranks. I give her high marks for challenging the establishment GOP in Frank Murkowski and fighting the oil companies. Also, she’s been constantly criticizing Obama over the last 2 years which shows she’s been trying to stop his radical agenda.

As to her spending as governor, both you and azeroprof sp?? did a great job breaking that done. There’s obviously some room for debate as to how to interpret the numbers, but as it was pointed out Daniels spending was either much higher or similar depending on which numbers from Alaska you look at.

I’d take her over usual suspects in Huckabee, Romney, and Gingrich. I don’t know much about Daniels or Barbour. I like Cain but need to know about him as well.

So yes I’m leaning Palin now but by no means is it set in stone.

Change or Hope…

1. Be part of a better future (or at least help with the TEA party’s attempt at making the city on the hill a brighter place).

2. Be part of a disgraceful past and continue work towards destroying the country through “business as usual” political b.s. etc.

3. Continue with the country club elitism thinking and acting like they’re “in with us” while really cutting deals with the left as the left play all of us for chumps.

If the American people don’t wake up, we will have nothing left to fight for…both political parties are just like labor unions…they do what’s in the best interests of the parties…the people and what’s really important to the people take a back seat to the agenda of those in power…once in a while they throw us a bone to keep us from getting to upset…the people have come close with the TEA Party movement, but make no mistake about it, both the Dem Party and GOP are doing everything they can to quiet the beast created by the TEA Party movement…

When the NRSC called a day or two ago, I told them I’ve given up on the establishment LOSERship (in those words) of the Senate and was donating directly to candidates of my choice or thru Club for Growth. And hung up…
