The Alaska Republican Party has voted to censure U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski

[anonymoose]

This is the same lady who won reelection on a write in ballot.

Yep, even I wrote her name it.

She isn't going anywhere.

Her favorability rating is 43% in AK, extremely low for a republican senator in a red state since 2002.

No sober, rational adult thinks she's a nut.

She's very confused. Selling drilling rights in ANWR was one of Murkowski’s biggest achievements. Then she voted to confirm Deb Haaland who wants to turn the entire state into a nat'l park.

 

[Concart]

Republicans demand complete fealty to Donald Trump. Fealty to country is optional.

 

[Phantasmal]

She's been a trump toadie at every turn. The only thing she did right was to recognize that Kavanaugh is a drunk.

Lisa can’t be primaried, so if someone runs against her, they will have to run as a Democrat or another party.

Which is utterly irrelevant to what I stated. Thanks fer tryin'.

Whaaaat?!? Where the heck do you get that? Any republican can run against her and I expect more than one will.

 

[MAGA MAN]

This is what did it for me:
It will be fun seeing her go.

This is awesome.

Why not?

 

[Phantasmal]

Why not?

I should have stated it better, it’s not that she can’t, but that with AK new laws she will likely survive a challenge because of the new way Alaskans vote in the primary. It was a bad choice of wording. There aren’t separate ballots, so Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans the four top choices advance to the general election. She won’t face a serious challenge in my opinion.

So unlike NY, you have open primaries? She had trouble during the teabag wave. I see a similar situation with the MAGA morons. Probably to a lesser extent.

She did have trouble, but still won, a lot of non Republicans, like myself, crossed over to vote for her, rather than teabilly Miller.

Republicans are purging the last real Republicans to be replaced by the party of trump.

Joe Miller was considered a nut back then.

Joe Miller had a terrorist thug "arrest" a journalist for asking him a tough question. And I do mean terrorist. The unlicensed "security firm" was providing weapons to a bunch of terrorists who were planning on overthrowing the Alaska Government.

Back then Miller was outside the mainstream of the Republican Party, but you are right, today he is very much in the mainstream of the Republican Party.

 

[Walt]

Hey, he just liked beer

Republican justices always seem to be bitter little men. I don't know why that is.

 

[Walt]

Murkowski will be out, as she does not have the MAGA seal of approval.

It is the party of trump, so Republicans have to vacate the premises.

 

[Walt]

Even stranger they would overwhelmingly vote to censure a trump toadie. Her best chance to get re-elected would be if no “independent” runs. (No one dares call themselves a democrat in AK)

Begich was a Democrat from Alaska. If there is a three way race, or if Republicans go completely out of control, a Democrat can be elected.

Begich.
He’s more of a joke than Sarah.
Too funny.

her vote on Kav based on Feinstein parading out a deluded crazed nut who’s obviously still butt hurt Kav didn’t pork her in H.S. was beyond reproach.
As far as overthrowing the AK govt. that would have been the best thing at the time.
We had a career ambulance chaser (like Jarod) who purposely fucked up the state as much as he could get away with.

Begich was able to make it through. If Republicans mess this up again, they might let another Democrat through.

How a senator that doesn’t have the interests of their own state is waaaay beyond my understanding. Doesn’t matter to me that she doesn’t have the interests of the Republican Party.
