Lisa Murkowski Is A Political Crack Whore

OK, it is official.
"Sen." Lisa Murkowski is a certifiable political crack whore.
This sore loser announced that she is mounting a write-in candidacy to hold on like a crack whore to the senate seat that she was appointed to by her as discredited father, former governor and senator Frank Murkowski.
Yes, the first major act of then Gov. Murkowski was to appoint a successor to his senate seat. In a state of over 600,000 people, he could only find his daughter was the choice to replace him in the seat he vacated to run for governor. From that moment on, his governorship was doomed.
"Sen." Murkowski did win a full term in 2004 in the same year that former President George W. Bush won reelection. But she barely won that race against a popular former Democrat governor, Tony Knowles. "Sen." Murkowski squeaked by Mr. Knowles, 49% to 46%.
Fast forward to 2010.
"Sen." Murkowski thought that she did not have to actually run to retain the senate seat she was handed to by daddy.
Then came along Joe Miller.
Mr. Miller mounted a serious challenge to "Sen." Murkowski. So much so that the former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, lent her support to Mr. Miller. The Tea Party Express also put it's support behind Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller challenged "Sen." Murkowski on the basis that she was not adhering to basic conservative Republican ideas.
And Mr. Miller was and is accurate.
"Sen." Murkowski was one of the dreaded "Gang of 14" that railroaded then Senate Majority leader Bill Frist from employing the so-called "Nuclear option" that would have brought stalled Bush judicial appointees to votes on the senate floor.
"Sen." Murkowski supported expanding the State Children Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP.
You get the picture.
"Sen." Murkowski supported expanding the power of the federal government and diverting as much pork as possible to her state.
But Joe Miller, well he just had the tenacity to point all this out. And he said that enough is enough. And thus he challenged "Sen." Murkowski.
And you know, he gained the support of Mrs. Palin.
And "Sen." Murkowski treated Mr. Miller like an annoying gnat rather than someone who had serious policy differences.
And more like a wasp, Mr. Miller stung "Sen." Murkowski in the rear by actually winning the Republican nomination for the senate seat.
And that began a bizarre series of events that led to "Sen." Murkowski's disgusting announcement today.
"Sen." Murkowski tried to get the Alaska Libertarian party to change it's rules and let her run as their candidate. But, unlike "Sen." Murkowski, the ALP has some morals and believes in smaller government. Since "Sen." Murkowski acts more like a crack whore at the teat of the federal largess and the ALP believes in lessening that role in our lives, they said thanks, but no thanks.
When that did not work, a supporter named Andrew Halcro, pushed a one-time poll that showed "Sen." Murkowski could win in a three-way race with herself, Mr. Miller and Democrat senate nominee Scott McAdams.
And like the political crack whore that she is, "Sen." Murkowski has turned her back on the Republican party. She has ignored the will of those voters. She believes that she is the Messiah for Alaska in the senate. She is not running because there is a real principle such as when Sen. Joe Lieberman (Independent Democrat-Conn), ran for reelection in 2006 after losing the nomination to Ned Lamont. The whole rationale for Mr. Lamont's candidacy was that he opposed the War Against Islamofacsist Terror in the Iraq theatre and Sen. Lieberman supported it.
At this writing, the Republicans are stripping her of any leadership roles and or committee assignments. As well they should.
And we should not forget that this is where we can help the Republican senate nominee, Joe Miller, fight off this brazen act of a political crack whore.
As usual, Sarah Palin says it best:

"My advice for Lisa is the same for anyone who sees a grizzly in the woods. DON'T RUN.".

Somehow, I do not think that the political crack whore, Lisa Murkowski, is listening.
