Victorious Murkowski: Alaskans Rejected Governance Based on 'Anger or Fear'

Talk about facing the truth......... Let's face it; Lisa has been pissed ever since Palin beat her daddy in the Governor's race, and it got even worse when Miller beat Lisa in the Senate race. The woman just doesn't get it. Palin has already shown more leadership qualities than Murkowski. Lisa got in because of her daddy; not because of her experience. That leaves her as just another whiny Liberal that the voters indicated that they don't want anymore. She should take the hint like Dodd did in CT; save face and get out.

Lisa Murkowski is the real star from Alaska and a woman of substance.

I remember a time in this country when government worked pretty well. Not perfectly. but pretty well. Democrats and Republicans hated each other at election time but as soon as the election was over, they got back down to business. They didn't spend the entire time between elections bashing the other party and refusing to work with them. A lot of Congress voted their conscience instead of the party line. Sounds amazing doesn't it? How did this work? I'll tell you. It's called compromise. One side would go to the others and say "We want this". The others would say, "We won't do that, but we will do this if you will let us have what we want". They would bargain back and forth until they reached a deal. Congress actually got things done. Each side acted as a brake on the extremists of the other side. While the Goverment worked like this we got amazing things done. We fought two World Wars and won. We had a great education system and our economy was running pretty well. We put a man on the moon. We were the world leader in science. We were respected in the world. Oh we had our problems but both sides generally worked together to solve them. How did they do this? With Compromise. That is how this country was created. Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were products of Compromise. The whole design of our goverment was the result of compromise. The three branches of goverment; the two houses of Congress; the way representation was alloted in the two houses of Congress. That was all the result of compromise. This country was born from compromise and designed to work with compromise. Compromise is not a dirty word in government. Conservative and Liberal are not dirty words. They are political philosophies. Government is not black and white. It is mostly gray. Put the partisan politics aside and let's get things working again. Compromise.

Lisa Murkowski for President, 2012!!

Anger and fear? Fear that your country is being led down the wrong path by the Dems is a bad thing ? Anger that the president is jamming an agenda down our throats is unfounded? Why is opposition unreasonable? Moderates try to appease and in doing so don't confront the issues in order to correct them.

The people of Alaska said No in the primary. Murkowski does not know what NO means. Lisa is a RHINO she should be an outcast in the Republican party. Opine of a life long Alaskan

Murkowski flip flopped on alot of issues to get elected, sounds like just another politician that will say anything to get elected, hope it works out for Alaska, glad she is there!

Boy that's going to go over like a lead balloon in the GOP. Good for you Senator, enough with the hatred, anger and fear. This is America, land of opportunity and laws. Here a lie is a lie even if it is used as truth on FOX. Let truth and freedom reign!

A lot of class from Murkowski congratulating McAdams and Miller for their campaign runs. I like her attitude about working with Democrats and Independents coming up with the best solutions to move this country forward. This is still missing from the Liberals and the Conservatives. Congress needs to stop governing based on hate and fear as has been the case in the past 2 years. The same hate and fear I noticed from the hundreds of comments I read on these websites. This woman is a uniter not a divider like Sarah Palin.

seems like she "gets it"! partisan politicians on both sides of the aisle will soon realize that the american people actually want something from congress besides gridlock and bickering!!
