Democrats Call Lisa Murkowski A Liar for Good Reason

First she channeled former Senator Ted Stevens who died in a plane crash and now her campaign says they forgot to change the headline about Democrat endorsements. HUH? Seems they used statements from the past and the Democrats got mad as they are going to be voting McAdams not Murkowski. How dumb can one campaign be or should the word be 'arrogant?' for the Murkowski campaign.

It leaves a bad taste to lose a primary and then launch a write-in or go to a different party. Congressional seats do not belong to the person who occupies them which some people cannot seem to fathom. We don't see any write-in candidate winning in Alaska or anywhere else as most people will not take the time to write in the name. We have some really spoiled candidates who think they are owed the seat -- Murkowski and Crist for starters or any number of members of Congress who replace their spouse when they die. Doesn't make a difference if they are a Democrat or Republican -- time to stop this entitlement mentality.

Because Murkowski didn't leave the GOP like Charlie Crist, she was cut slack in keeping her Senate Committee assignments. Think the NRSC needs to change the rules if you lose in the primary and run as No Party, some Party, or do a write-in, you are automatically stripped of your committee assignments immediately and can no longer causus with the Republicans.

Murkowski does not come across as a very nice person. We do not know what Joe Miller really stands for except we are told he is a conservative although his background doesn't scream 'conservative' but right now there is no other choice in this race but Joe Miller. We need to keep that seat Republican and if Murkowski had not launched a write-in, it would be a safe seat. Very little integrity on the part of Murkowski or her campaign -- like none!

Democrats Call Lisa Murkowski A Liar

All the while, Lisa Murkowski’s campaign has been engaged in a smear campaign against Joe Miller. Now, out of the blue, Democrats come out and call her an outright liar?

It was troubling when Murkowski broke her word to voters and refused to abide by the results of the Republican primary as promised. If these accusations are legitimate, all in all, it does not speak well of Lisa Murkowski’s character. And character does matter. She has invoked the name of the late Ted Stevens on her behalf. He can’t speak for himself. However, it appears some individuals Murkowski has claimed endorse her candidacy can – and they are flatly denying it.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTVA-CBS 11 News) Alaska Democrats are calling Sen. Lisa Murkowski a liar, after a mailer went out to many Anchorage residents claiming notable Democrats would be voting for her.

In a statement Murkowski’s campaign manager Kevin Sweeney says the mistake was the campaign’s fault, saying they forgot to change the headline.

The mailer’s banner states: “Alaskan Democrats Who Are Voting for Lisa Murkowski — and not Scott McAdams.” Below the headline are several quotes from politicians including Democratic gubernatorial candidates Ethan Berkowitz and Bob Poe, who dropped out of the governor’s race.

Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins says some of the quotes used about the sitting senator are from the past, and many of the candidates have openly stated they will be voting for Scott McAdams.
