Murkowski's have carnal knowledge about oil and revenues - that is a treasure money can't buy - and being as Palin gave away money that didn't belong to her or the SOA and Parnells stupidity in oil makes one relieved to see Lisa in the mix of politics and oil revenues. I would rather have an expert that tosses around " what to say " then an idiot who doesn't know what to say or " how to say it"!!

Then lots of folks came forward...then the Catholic Church...good people the Murkowski's are I would say... Instead of giving a fish Frank taught us how to fish...legally that is...Good Man...

Murkowski is the ticket to peace in America... Her voice isn't nerve racking and coherent... Murkowski in politics has abundant resources... To move mountains or shape legal paperwork... That attempts to control everyday Alaskans... Murkowski has been in DC before she was in DC.. She can snapshot a person faster than you can.. so the next time she speaks of politics... One might want to ask her what now Murkowski??? -------------------------- Murksowski for President ---- 2016 ----- --------------------------
