Where We’re Going

Lisa Murkowski R-AK

In a telling sign about Lisa Murkowski’s write-in campaign and that of other Republicans now forced into independent runs for office, note her line attacking Tea Partier and official Alaska GOP standard bearer Joe Miller.

On CNN she said: “Joe Miller simply does not represent that. He is suggesting to us, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many, many Alaskans, some pretty radical things. You know, we dump Social Security. No more Medicare. Let’s get rid of the Department of Education. Elimination of all earmarks.”

Sounds about right to me. But note that these are garden variety Democratic attacks on all but the most liberal Republicans.
