Former Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller returned to Juneau Tuesday, accompanied by some of his current political allies and continuing to challenge the Nov. 2010 election he lost at the polls — and then again in the courts.
But where Miller says he’s really been vindicated is in claims about opponent Lisa Murkowski, who bested him in a history-making write-in campaign.
“It’s been absolutely no surprise, she’s been voting as we portrayed her during the campaign, as a liberal,” he said.
Passing through Juneau during a Tea Party at Sea cruise aboard the Celebrity Millennium, Miller met with local supporters Tuesday evening.
Miller explained his new political action committee, or PAC, and website, RestoringLibertyAlaska.us, which he said which will represent and organize citizens now ignored by the state’s institutions and political parties.
Vindictive spiteful little shit, still bellyaching about how unfair it was that Alaskans sent his ass packing. Yep that sounds like a Sarah Palin protege to me!
And just in case you thought that Miller was the "Baron of Batshit" on this ship of fools, take a listen to what the OTHER Teabaggers on this cruise to crazytown had to say.
Other tea party activists accompanied Miller to Nugget Mall from the cruise as they tried to fire up a dozen or so supporters from Juneau.
He said the turnout was pretty good, given that Juneau is “not necessarily a bastion of conservatism.”
The comment drew rueful chuckles from the audiences
Jerome Corsi, author of “Obama Nation,” an attack on President Barack Obama, and former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson made even harsher attacks on Obama than did Miller.
Corsi said Obama isn’t qualified to be president because he isn’t a natural-born citizen, despite the president’s public release of a copy of his birth certificate.
“I’m still saying that what we’ve seen is a forgery,” he said.
Corsi challenged Obama’s Christianity, as well as his politics.
“There’s a communist living in the White House,” he said.
Jackson said she only recently got involved in politics and discovered that Obama was a communist. She endorsed Miller’s call for tea party members to get involved in efforts such as serving as local poll workers, which she said now are “mostly old hippies.”
Miller said he hasn’t ruled against running against Sen. Mark Begich, Rep. Don Young, or even Murkowski again in five years.
Yeah you keep telling yourself you have a chance of getting elected to ANYTHING in Alaska after hanging out with THIS group of nitwits!
I have little doubt that even crusty old Alaskan Republicans can smell mooseshit this pungent. Even if it is drifting to them all the way from Juneau!
By the way remember how Miller said "the turnout was pretty good, given that Juneau is not necessarily a bastion of conservatism?" Well he is overstating that by QUITE a margin.
It just so happens that we had a little spy from IM there at the same time that Miller was underwhelming the people of Juneau. Here is their report (With all portions removed which might have helped identify this brave soul.):
The Tea Party Cruise to Alaska speakers that I saw today were all respectful and quiet out at the Mendenhall Glacier.
I believe I saw Joseph and Elizabeth Farah.
None of the other speakers featured at teapartyatsea.com were there, or at least I did not recognize them. There were several people from the cruise that were out at the glacier, but all were respectful of the bears and salmon, asked lots of questions about the wildlife and glacier, but did not expound on their political views.
There was one gentleman talking loudly about his warm ups for the crowds (jokes according to him), but then only to a couple that were in agreement with him.
His joke was "How is Berkeley like Moscow? They're both communist, but Berkeley is more so."
He laughed heartily, the couple laughed a little, and that was it.
I did go by the Nugget Mall where Joe Miller was appearing. When I got there at 5:05, Miller and his wife were sitting in the main hallway near JoAnn's fabric store on a bench.
He was being "interviewed" by a woman who looks like Victoria Jackson from the teapartyatsea website.
She is much older than her picture.
There was also a man I did not recognize from the Juneau Empire (He is not on their website) listening to Joe give an interview. I believe both of these people were recording the "interview."
There were 8 people and 3 kids in the room where Joe later spoke.
That included Jerome Corsi who seemed very bored with the locals that were there.
There were no posters, no signs, nothing to indicate what the group was, who was speaking, or anything else.
I left to do grocery shopping and then came back at 5:35. At that point there were 19 people in the room including Joe and his wife.
Victoria Jackson was giving the "warm up" and introduced Joe, who started speaking at 5:40.
Sorry, but if that is the best the local Tea Partiers could muster for a turn out and no advertising other than a mention on KTOO on Monday, that is just pathetic!
Seventeen people show up to hear you speak and THAT is a "good turnout?" No that is what is normally referred to as "pathetic," not "good."
So Joe draws a crowd of seventeen, Christine O"Donnell draws a
crowd of five to her book signing, and Sarah Palin tries to wriggle out her appearance with the
Tea Party of America in Iowa.
Is it just me, or does it seem that this whole Teabagger thing has just about run its course?
(Let me give thanks to my friend in Juneau who subjected themselves to the pain of having to listen to Joe Miller speak just to give us all the above "boots on the ground" report. I hope they went home and had a stiff drink after that, because clearly they deserved it!)
