Everyone wants compromise. But the Demo-tax-and-spend-ocrats cannot start from communism and expect all others to compromise to socialism.

Please, What qualified Obama to be President? Absolutely NOTHING.

Lisa M is NOT what Alaska or America needs in OUR (Peoples)government.

George S

I thought Couric could only ask questions regarding which literature reads. But she asked Lisa Murkowski about running for president in 2012: poor Lisa had to try to forge an answer, knowing that her father never lost a primary or general election for U.S. Senate in Alaska, but after one term as governor he lost the republican primary to Palin: she had 50%, Frank Murkowski had 20%, in a 3-way race. Lisa lost the republican primary election in Aug.; she would be clobbered nationally trying to run for president. Come on, Katie! Lisa also noted that, ultimately, O'Donnell and Angle lost their races in Delaware and Nevada, respectively, because of their weakness as candidates. But she lost the republican primary because of "Tea Party" money from out of state: how much campaign money did Lisa and Joe Miller each spend? And where did Lisa's money come from? Hey, Couric! This is how you conduct an interview, not like an obsequious teenager admiring a rock star. Maybe it's time CBS stopped worshipping the Wash.,D.C. Noble Class, informed yourselves, and asked relevant questions that gave viewers fair and balanced facts.

Just remember [in November] if you vote Demo-RAT or Republic-RAT there will be absolutley no difference in the crap going on ...it will be business as usual ... AFU.

So, vote third party only or independent that you KNOW will do the right thing: resore our government back into its Constiutionally limited role: secure the rights of the people and to hell with TSA, BATFags, K9PEe alphabet soup agencies sucking our freedom and liberty away.

But that is predicated on the sheeple waking up and removing their heads out of their Derrieres ... what will it take to wake up the sleeping sheeple?

She's anything but moderate when it comes to Green Energy. However, she's a clever politician who brings home the bacon. She senses that Tea Partiers won't be able to maintain their hate crusade with what I call the 'Normal Majority' too much longer. There are just too many naive crackpots with big mouths in DC and the public will quickly see that they were bought and paid for by Billionaire Profiteers. The media will jump on every chance to gain readership with their InSaNe remarks. The GOP was stupid not to back Murkowski. She's far more intelligent than Palin and a better fit ideologically with most Republicans and Independents.

Couric: "What's up with your relationship with Sarah Palin? Can you explain it?"

What a dumb question. Palin replaced Murkowski's father as governor, and Plain backed her competitor Miller for the Senate. Of course they aren't in the same camp.

As for the compromise: We did not replace over 60 Democrats in the House, give conservatives gains in the Senate, replace a boatload of Democrat Governors, and replace 682 Democrats in local elections because we liked the way the Democrats were handling things. I'm sorry, it will have to be the Democrats who compromise - not the Republicans this time. The election proves that Americans want compromise that very much leans to the right, and away from what the Democrats have been going. Murkowski has the wrong idea as she goes into the Senate. She should be expecting the losing Democrats to compromise. Democrats need to come toward the Republicans, based on this recent election. As for health care, a majority of Americans have never been for this stinking bill.

Let me clarify my statements. Miller was elected in the primary to be the candidate ... Murkowski lost the election, and chose to go the write in route, and that's ok. But Miller won the primary and should be interviewed as well. All political parties ought to be banned and made illegal ... this lunacy is destroying our Republic.

Screw earmarks, war, and all the other idiotic crap those cretins in Congress waste our hard earned money on ... and speaking of money: use your intellect to see if you can find an article of amendment to Article One, section 10 of the Constitution that would eliminate the mandated gold and silver based coin as a national currency. Why can't the lame-stream media focus some attention on a real solution to our nation?s problems, and quite reporting the garbage that passes as news?

So there you go ... show us how smart you may or may not be ...where is the amendment? Am I ticked off? With all the Ponzi schemes coming out of Washington D.C. [District of Criminals] you bet I am; and you ought to be too ? the Federal Reserve Act is the biggest Ponzi scheme next to the Social Security act ..and I suspect you think this is just a rant?

I sure hope my spell checker worked better this time ... wouldn't want you to be as radical as I am ...

If Republican's were actually conservative from 2001 to 2009 then we wouldn't have these tea parties. But hey people wanted the federal government to spend money, so the Republicans spent the money. Republicans controlled the Whitehouse from 1981 to 2009 with the exception of Bill Clinton. Guess which President presided when the country spent less than the taxes it took in? Bill Clinton. Go figure. How on earth have we been brainwashed so badly?

Look at the numbers. Compare Start debt/GDP column to the End debt/GDP column.

All of us See BS everyday. Time to call it for what it is. If Ms Couric is talking it's only to promote Dem Libs causes. I don't know why any Repub, conservative or Libertarian would waste time speaking with her?

She should just put on her Donkey pin and bray away.

Wonder if her interest is to rub a Tea Party nose in the loss? Maybe she can sway Murkowski to caucus with the Dems?

Alaska will be represented by the winner of the election, but by a Senator that a majority of the voters didn't vote for!
