With most of the votes counted Joe Miller (R-AK) is poised to knock off Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Alaska Republican senate primary. Among other things he wants to eliminate the Department of Education, believes the government shouldn't pay for unemployment insurance and says of climate change on his campaign site that it "may not even exist." He says he would cut welfare; eliminate health care for the poor by scrapping Medicaid; and the Anchorage Daily News reported that he has has called for sweeping cuts to Medicare and Social Security with a goal of phasing them out entirely in favor of total privatization.
This guy would have Americans dying in the street. And make no mistake, people like Joe Miller, Sharon Angle and Rand Paul are the here and now of the Republican party. Any vote, for any Republican, anywhere, is a vote for this agenda.
