GOP Leaders Betray Their Voters Over Murkowski

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 11/15/2021 3:13:00 PM

The other day, I received the following email from Lisa Murkowski, currently Republican senator from Alaska: “Fellow Conservative, “Today I announced my campaign for re-election to continue representing the great state of Alaska. (snip) Fellow Conservative? (How many questions marks can I put after that without seeming illiterate?) Murkowski is about as conservative as Nancy Pelosi on one of her middling days. I was going to write AOC, but that would have been unfair—a tad anyway. In 2013 the National Journal ranked Murkowski the 56th most liberal and 44th most conservative member of the Senate and it has only gotten worse since.

Comments:

Hope that Rick Scott considers this long and hard…otherwise he’s more of a fool than we thought.

FTA: According to the Washington Post, the following transpired when Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.)—chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee—appeared on “Meet the Press” Nov. 7: “Scott reaffirmed his support for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), defying the attacks that Trump has levied against both. Trump has endorsed Murkowski’s primary challenger, Kelly Tshibaka, saying in June that Tshibaka is ‘MAGA all the way.’” When asked if the NRSC would back Murkowski financially, Scott said “Absolutely.” When did Scott amass this power?

Lisa "Bridge To Nowhere" Murkowski November 3, 2021 "To restore a key piece of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Democrats in the U.S. Senate needed 10 Republicans to vote with them to even bring the bill up for debate. They got just one one on Wednesday: Sen. Lisa Murkowski." Murkowski is very close to being as toxic as Liz Cheney.

Didn't see actually win her seat as a write-in candidate after getting beat in the primary? She may not be conservative, but she's a Republican, and you need Republicans in the Senate to become the Majority and control the process in the Senate.

I dont contribute to anyone. Politicians run for office using money sent by people who cant afford it, and crooks who can. Through the normal process of governing, accepting bribes, kickbacks and insider trading that they all know they will get away with, politician becomes a millionaire. Do they send my money back, with dividends? No, they just vote for my further enslavement. I will not willingly hire my own mugger.

The author's name is Roger L. Simon, not Stone. I am sickened by the likes of Sen. Rick Scott's support of this RINO traitor! Have the uniparty morons learned nothing? I just worry the other, more conservative candidates will split the conservative vote and give it to Murkowski. Same with Wyoming and Liz Cheney, but I admit I don't know if multiple conservatives are running there.

A recently introduced Oklahoma Senate bill may allow employees of government and private entities to file lawsuits against their employers for as much as $1 million over health problems associated with vaccines or other forms of medical treatment. State Sen. Rob Standridge, a Republican, said in a statement that Oklahoma employees would be able to sue their employers over medical issues connected to operations or treatment as a condition for employment. “If an employee is required to receive the vaccine or some other medical treatment as a condition of employment and it causes that person harm, our citizens need to know they’ll have some recourse that will provide them with meaningful relief,”

Smart people want to know: Why do so many people still buy into the patently unscientific and false narrative of the Covid regime? A Belgian psychologist, Mattias Desmet, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University, has proposed that what we’re witnessing is a phenomenon that he refers to as “Mass Formation”. What he’s describing with this somewhat opaque term (in English) is a type of mass social hypnosis in which the mass of the population seems to share a “collective unconsciousness”—an obliviousness to reality and even a collective hostility to attempts to introduce them back into a relation to the real world. There’s an interview with Desmet on Youtube in

Wisconsin’s former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court on Monday against the Wisconsin Elections Commission for breaking state laws in the 2020 cycle. In her lawsuit, Kleefisch, a Republican running for governor next year, asked the court to declare that the elections commission’s guidance is against state law and enjoin the commission to carry out a lawful election in 2022. She requested that the Supreme Court take up jurisdiction so the lawsuit doesn’t get tangled up in the lower courts and stalled during next year’s election. “We need to make sure that the law-breaking we saw happen in 2020 never happens again in Wisconsin,”

Former president Donald Trump’s real estate company plans to sell the federal lease to its luxury D.C. hotel to Miami-based CGI Merchant Group, according to a report Sunday in the Wall Street Journal.

CGI Merchant signed a contract to buy the lease for $375 million, according to the Journal, citing anonymous sources.

The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents. The woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It is the atheist version of confession or medieval penance.

Watching the news, one sees constant stories about COVID numbers rising, yet again, now almost two years into this pandemic, with COVID hospitalizations in some states higher than they have ever been except for the spike last December. In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen. On the surface, that doesn’t make sense, since nearly 80 percent of eligible Coloradans have received at least one vaccine dose, suggesting the vaccines are not working as well as they should or as advertised
