and actually when "politicin" as the old guard called it - parties and functions were normal... and it always was "Alaska" in every sentence, the best interests of the State of Alaska is the topic of conversation...so glad we got senior staff...

You better hope Murkowski and Young are still around with Congress...right now they are watching the live entertainment...or Alaska gets no funds and panic starts in Alaska...and it gets 3rd world real fast! Remember that...Captain Zero would be 1st to jump!

Well Don, it would be easy to get Young and Murkowski to step down, just don't vote for them the next time around, I know I won't. It is time to fire congress and start over!

"conservative" or "social conservative" republicans are going to be the downfall of the party. What you end up with under "conservative" republicans are Miller, Prevo, Keller and Smith. If you want to go to church great, but keep it out of politics. We need a 3rd party with some common sense and no extreme candidates.

Now, if were as easy to get Don young and Lisa Murkowski to do the same thing. Both have served long enough. Of course, we should replace them with "conservative" republicans.
