Libertarian Party To Lisa Murkowski: Drop Dead
— Ace

Wow. So it's recount or bust, eh?

Yesterday, the 5-member Executive Committee of the Board of the Libertarian State Party meet in an emergency session to consider Sen. MurkowskiÂ’s bid for the partyÂ’s nod. After a contentious three-hour meeting, the Board voted unanimously to deny Sen. Murkowski the partyÂ’s nomination.

Thanks to someone, who noted that old/dirty/b_tard had linked it in comments.

So now we just keep counting them until she wins, right?

Money and a guaranteed spot on the ballot.  If the party got over 5% of the vote, they'd get a guaranteed spot.  Murk would have done that.  Also the million bucks she is rumored to offer probably got them to thinking.

You know what it's like when all four members of a political party -- plus some wino dragged in off the street -- get together to debate an issue.

This is a moment in the sun for these fringies. Maybe the only one they'll ever see. Let 'em bask a little.

24 despite the money and attention she brought to the party ... how could they accept her on the condition she'd first take the Republican spot if she had the chance?

But nice of them to let us know the Murky one was ready to do a Crist.  Now it is up to her team of tricky Mikes to keep her family heirloom intact.

38 Now it's easier to explain why Cornyn told NRSC to go home. To continue to support Murk after it is publicly announced that she looking to go Indy (thanks for the notice Libertarians) would be the kiss of death for the NRSC. This is already going to be the kiss of death for her come November even if she wins the primary without any other shenanigans. For practical purposes she should be dead in Republcan politics. It would be better for her to concede and tell the Alaskan Secretary of State to stop counting (this presumes that she places the people of Alaska above herself).

Lisa should have taken a lesson from her father. He got his ass handed to him by none other than Ms. Sarah Palin when she spanked him and won the governor's chair.

Her daddy got unemployed because he was an egotistical, self-absorbed, pandering dolt who thought he was entitled to high office simply because of who he thinks he was - ooops, guess it runs in the family.

They're trying so hard to make George Clooney into a big action hero. Everyone knows he's the new Rock Hudson.

Maybe his latest arm candy hasn't figured it out yet.

O/T - anyone who is a fan of "Friday Night Lights" - the book, movie, and/or TV show: Author Buzz Bissinger was subbing for a regular sports yakker the other night. He started his program - on a sports station - with a tirade about Alberto Pujols and Tony LaRussa attending the 8/28 rally. He called the attendees a "bunch of  TEA party nuts", and ranted about how he and LaRussa wrote a book together but this action ended their "friendship".

So there it is. The creator of Friday Night Lights is a major leftard commielib patriot slanderer.

In any case, he should have known where LaRussa stood at least on the Arizona issue (and not as a nutbar but stating his agreement thoughtfully), and that an immigrant like Pujols had nothing to be afraid of.

No surprise there- Buzz Bissinger is a smug pig who used to write for "Philadelphia" magazine. IIRC, after he wrote "Prayer for the City" [about Rendell staring down the unions when he forst became mayor], he started an affair not long after his twins were born, then left the family behind and moved to the west coast. He looks like an American Salman Rushdie.

148 Alaska is going to have a crisis if they have lisa forced down their throats and they believe in their heart of hearts that she didn't win legitimately.  remember, no matter what the votes say, if they feel and sense that there was monky business then it is the same as if there was monkey business.  Most voters won't be happy about that and they might just stay home or worse vote for the dem.   The dems are probably loving this.  They get a senate seat out of it and it still looks as though in exchange for her votes for the big BO stuff, she still got lots of help.  This is not a good position for the republicans to be in and it makes you wonder how they managed to get into it in the first place.  Miller needs to keep on yelling louder and louder.  he really is the only hope for them to keep the seat.

Pujols is a stand-up guy, an endangered species in the world of professional sports. Bissinger exposed himself as a true unhinged looney leftard by his inability to contain his outrage and high dudgeon re: LaRussa's "betrayal". I half expected him to start to punctuate his sentences with "SIR!", a la Keith Doodeydouche.

Buzz is also very impressed himself. The blurb for his website informs us that he is "one of the nation's most distinguished authors."

I often wonder how people go through life being "a dick".  I have a friend who runs her business like that.  She knows they don't like her but doesn't care.  She makes the "devil wears prada" lady look like mother theresa.  The other day I asked her why she prefers the scrooge model to the "my employees love me and the company model" and her answer was "I get results, that's all that matters".  I suddenly realized that this person is the reason the dems feel that everything has to be a law, to make you human, warm and fuzzy, you have to be made to do it.   She was asking me to do something for her and I turned her down and she was offended since we are friends.  I was like "heck I don't want to do any work for a person who has employees that would leave her in the burning building and not rescue her"....that ended our little exchange.

Fuck curious, that is what "back alley" abortions where all about, birth control. I don't think there was ever a woman in this country that was denied an abortion due to medical necessity. The whole "back alley" was overblown anyway to make it seem like an epidemic of women dying from botched abortions. It was the "meme" before there were "memes".

Hell, even in my home state of Alabama a woman could get an abortion with the approval of a board of doctors that it was medically necessary.

Yeah, the whole "back-alley abortions" scaremongering bullshit was an invention -- by his own admission -- by Bernard Nathanson to try to get the head of NOW to come on board the mass infanticide train (imagine the days when NOW was actually not just a shrill one-note baby-butcher advocacy group).  There is zero evidence that self-inflicted abortions were ever a remotely common occurrence.
