There’s some talk about whether Republican U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, defeated in her party’s Alaska primary, should run as a Libertarian. To support this effort, a few dumb-as-a-doornail libertarians are trying to talk up Murkowski as a candidate on the LP line.
She’s not a libertarian, and so she doesn’t belong on a ballot as a candidate of the LP. She’s a big-government Republican, that particularly noxious political species.
Murkowski voted to spend hundreds of billions to fund the Troubled Asset Relief Program. That’s the opposite of a libertarian and a Libertarian Party candidate.
She’s just another desperate incumbent willing to say anything to convince gullible people that she’s not as foolish as she truly is.
Her father, a governor, apponted her to a United States Senate seat – she’s reaped enough from that nepotism for a lifetime.
She doesn’t deserve a possible reprieve from the LP.
