"Now is the time for all Alaskans to come together and reach out with our core message of taking power from the federal government and bringing it back home to the people," Miller said in a written statement. "If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live below ours." People are tired of the way things are being handled in Washington so they want to get rid of the ones presently in office

It looks like that prediction is going to come true this November. But not in my wildest hopes and dreams did I think we would also get rid of a lot of RINOS this year! The rebirth of the GOP as the nation's CONSERVATIVE party has begun. If the GOP holds fast with conservative prinicples it will be in tune with the center-right spirit of the country..and will hold power for at least a generation.

Republican in name only types that were likely to give a few votes in favor of the democrats are being replaced with considerably more Conservative people who are likely to hold against the democrats.

And, with Murkowski and Stevens in congress, Alaska got more federal dollars per capita than any other State. This election, while it makes Sarah and her bling tea party republican followers feel like they "won", this would actually COST Alaska taxpayers HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. Say goodbye to those checks! If the guy even gets elected in November, he won't be around very long.

Joe Miller will run on the idea that he is not a politician, but just a regular guy. First, he's a lawyer. Second, if he's running for office, he's a politician. Now he probably has some big Jimmy Stewart ideas of going to Washington and cleaning up Congress. Yeah, right. like Congress is going to be like, "Oh, Joe, please tell us what to do." Joe will get in line and do what he's told. Everyone who votes for him will have a reality check and then somehow convince themselves that he's a hero. My headline will read, "Dopes Get Duped."

If a Dem had lost a race this close the media would be filled with stories about how the election was "stolen" though the corrupt notion that races this close MUST be won by a Democrat.

The followers are dumping donations into the pockets of hypocrites who are just as corrupt as any Dem/REP/IND party. It is comparable to those televised evangelical mega churches. Send in a donation and all of the Binni Hinnis and Sarah Palins of the world will thank the Lord for another gullible victim blinded by the light of the circus under the big top.

THat is why Palin and the rest of them only prey on less educated mostly older rural voters, of which there are a lot of in this country. Sarah comes in and charges $24.95 fopr the book, and another $29.95 to snap a photo with her, and somehow the republican tea party feels good. It's COSTING them money, and Sarah made TENS OF MILLIONS! Sounds like the tea party should say, "take the power from Washington and give it DIRECTLY to Sarah Palin!"
September 01 2010 at 3:31 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Replymy prayer is for unifying of the Party. It is always hard to lose, bur success quite often comes from defeat. We will pull together and we will be stronger than ever.Senater Mukowski is a true Lady And though I did not fully support her views, I know she will support the winner. Go Republicans. The vDems are so wrapped up in their own importance they can not see where they are wrong. Sad. Ray
