For those wondering about the nature of politics in Alaska, this should disabuse you of the notion that our “future-looking” state to the north is safe from the bare-knuckle brawling, Chicagoesque style of politicking we associate with Democrat strongholds here in the lower 48.

As most people are aware, Princess Lisa Murkenschnitzel didn’t like the fact that the peasants revolted against her and chose someone else to represent their interests in Washington DC and launched a write-in campaign financed in part by native corps and unions to the tune of almost $600,000.

She also didn’t appreciate the rules regarding write-in candidates and got them changed too so that voters will have a list of write in candidates provided to them.  However, State Superior Court Judge Frank Pfiffner called this attempt a “clear violation of Alaska administrative regulation” and ordered the state Division of Elections to remove a list of certified write-in candidates from polling places statewide.  Princess Lisa didn’t like that either and lo and behold, the AK Supreme Court stayed Pfiffner’s ruling.

Princess Lisa also didn’t care for that whole “you have to spell the name of the candidate correctly” thing and sure enough…that too was changed for her.  “Misspelled ballots will most likely be counted,” said Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections.

Yesterday, we learned that Dan Fagan, who dared to speak out against the Princess, has been removed from the lineup KFQD.  (See RealQuiet’s report on that here.)

And now…the latest news coming from team Miller:

Accidental Voice Message Raises Questions

Anchorage, Alaska. October 30, 2010 – In an apparent accidental voice mail message left on the cell phone of Joe Miller’s spokesperson, Randy DeSoto, what is believed to be the news director for CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA, along with assignment editor Nick McDermott, and other reporters, openly discuss creating, if not fabricating, two stories about Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller.   The voice mail message was later authenticated by Mr. McDermott, who sent a text to DeSoto stating “Damn iPhone … I left you a long message.  I thought I hung up.  Sorry.”

“Frankly, when I first heard this I was shocked,” said DeSoto. “Though a bit garbled at times, there are disturbing comments in this conservation that never should have occurred.”

In the first discussion, the KTVA reporters discuss getting a list of Miller campaign supporters in order to ‘find’ a “child molester.”  “You have to find that one person,” says the male reporter, to laughter in the news room. The reporters at KTVA then discuss creating a “Rand Paul” incident at the then upcoming Miller Rally (held on October 28, 2010) and hoping for violence so that they can “send out a tweet” and “Facebook” that “Miller got punched” at the rally.

Nothing says journalistic integrity like setting up a political candidate with a child molester supporter, does it? Or hoping for that candidate be attacked, for that matter.

Here’s the transcript of the captured audio:

TRANSCRIPT OF KTVA AUDIO FROM OCTOBER 28,
2010

FEMALE REPORTER: That’s up to you because you’re the expert, but that’s what I would
do…I’d wait until you see who showed up because that indicates we already know
something…

[Laughter]

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: Child molesters…

MALE REPORTER: Oh yeah… can you repeat Joe Miller’s…uh… list of people, campaign
workers, which one’s the molester?

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE VOICE: We know that out of all the people that will show up tonight, at least one of
them will be a registered sex offender.

[Laughter]

MALE REPORTER: You have to find that one person…

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: And the one thing we can do is ….we won’t know….we won’t know but
if there is any sort of chaos whatsoever we can put out a twitter/facebook alert: saying what
the… ‘Hey Joe Miller punched at rally.’

FEMALE REPORTER: Kinda like Rand Paul…I like that.

[Laughter]

FEMALE REPORTER: That’s a good one.

Oh yes!  OF COURSE with the kind of people that will show up for a Miller rally, at least one will be a registered sex offender!  HAHAHAHA!!  Let’s get that on film…that would just be so awesome!

Edward R. Murrow sure would be proud.

I’m planning on faxing the below letter to both yeses and undecideds in the next day or so and I’d like some input from you all.

****************

Dear Congressman X:

I urge you to vote NO on the Health Care bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve.

While I’m sure you believe that with the fixes you’re trying to make in the second bill the final product will be more to your liking, there is no guarantee that those fixes will be implemented.  However, it is an absolute certainty that once the House passes the Senate bill it will go to be signed into law by the President and you will be on the record for voting in favor of the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, the Gator-Aid and all the other distasteful buyoffs included therein.

And once that becomes law, why would the Senate bother with taking care of your grievances?  After the President declares victory over the will over the American people by steamrolling House members to his will, why would he urge the Senate to action?  He will have won and I’m sure at that point, the Senate will find themselves pressed to deal with more important business.

You’ve heard all the arguments for and against… but I’m writing you to remind you that the Senate is under no obligation to deal with your concerns about the bill they happily passed a few months ago.  And even if by some miracle the Senate did take up your reconciliation bill, there’s no guarantee that your fixes would pass Byrd Rule muster.  On top of that, the GOP will do anything they can to prolong this process and inflict massive pain on the Senate members…and keep health care on the table for months and months.  No other work would be done…nothing major at least…and health care would be front and center in the voters’ minds as the process became more and more toxic and as Election Day looms.

Are you confident that Senator Reid wouldn’t pull the plug and move on to other things?  And still, you would be left to hang for everything you signed your name to support in the Senate bill.

But again…that’s only IF the Senate appeases you.  But what if they don’t?

Remember, your leadership does not need to take up reconciliation.  They only need you to believe that they will. Are you going to fall for this?

In closing, please remember that Senator Scott Brown received donations from all over the country…not just from people in Massachusetts.  I’m one of those donations.

Just because someone doesn’t live in your district does not mean they shouldn’t have any voice for you.  Your constituents will vote you out if you defy their wishes….and people who don’t live in districts of YES voting congressmen will make their voices heard by supporting their challengers.

This issue…health care… affects us all.  Your vote will affect my life and my family’s lives…and our voices will be heard.  Will you listen to us now or will you hear our voices in November?

It’s your choice.
