Editor's Note: Watch CNN's "John King, USA" on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET for John King's full interview with Joe Miller.
(CNN) - A day after his opponent conceded the Republican primary for Senate in Alaska, Joe Miller took on both President Obama and the Republican political establishment Wednesday, warning that the nation is headed towards socialism and facing a dire fiscal crisis.
Incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski conceded to the Tea Party-backed candidate late Tuesday in what is considered one of the largest upsets of the 2010 midterm election cycle.
In a wide ranging interview with CNN's Chief National Correspondent John King, Miller criticized the growth of entitlement programs and corporate bailouts under the Obama administration, and described Obama as "bad for America."
"He's one of the major forces moving this country towards socialism. He is expanding the entitlement state. It is the wrong direction for America," Miller said in an interview that will air on CNN's "John King, USA."
Miller has made the threat of socialism a central theme of his campaign. In a new web video on his campaign website he warns that "our nation stands at a crossroads. It's careening toward socialism and insolvency."
However, he told King that he would not seek an immediate end to entitlement programs such as social security and Medicare.
"This is not a Joe Miller comes to D.C. and Social Security is gone, Medicare is gone. But what Joe Miller does do, and what those that I think are joining in this message do is get this government aback from the fiscal brink, back from bankruptcy so that we can ensure that the contracts that we've made with our seniors, that we can honor those," he said.
Yet he conceded that he "absolutely" would like to see an eventual end to a federal Social Security program.
"We're at a deficit. The trust fund is gone. It's full of IOUs. If this were a private pension plan the custodians of that pension plan would be in jail. But our government has raided that fund and it's completely gone," Miller said.
Miller, who has sought to establish himself as a Washington outsider throughout the campaign, called the fiscal crisis a "bipartisan problem," citing a lack of leadership in the Republican establishment.
"The question is whether or not there's the courage and leadership in [the Republican] party to seize the moment, and to recognize that the only way out of this is to get out of the age of the entitlement state, to return power back to the states, and recognize that central government is broken," Miller said. "The Republican Party can do it, but it does require courage because its not the status quo."
But there was one Republican for which Miller expressed strong admiration – former Alaska governor and Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin, who endorsed the previously unknown candidate, and is largely credited with helping him pull off an upset win against the Republican party-backed Murkowski.
"[Palin] was critical to the success of this campaign," Miller said. "She is absolutely a force to be reckoned with nationally. I absolutely will support her in her endeavors."

But there was one Republican for which Miller expressed strong admiration – former Alaska governor and Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin,....................
And that's when I switched to the Weather Channel.
Well, this guy sure does ensure a dem win in Alaska....
Not all Alaskans are crazy. Many Alaskans consider themselves libertarians, but few are like Miller and Palin.
This man having even started his job yet and he is al ready giving advise.
This guy is a typical republican only worse. probably has no clue what the word 'socialism' means, just knows it's an effective scare word and that the folks with limited intelligence will foam at the mouth when they hear it. Obama and the Democrats are NOT SOCIALISTS! anyone with an ounce of sense knows this. i pray to God the intelligent folks come out in droves to vote in November or the country will fall into the hands of some seriously whacko fringe nutburgers, and then we can kiss it good-bye!
Another clown's time keep on the circus miller!!
To all Americans with common sense:
Vote NO to the Party of NO in NOvember!
Vote NO to the Party of NO in NOvember!
Vote NO to the Party of NO in NOvember!
This slogan is worth repeating over and over.
In a wide ranging interview with CNN's Chief National Correspondent John King, Miller criticized the growth of entitlement programs and corporate bailouts under the Obama administration, and described Obama as "bad for America."
Just another white man Republicans hating on a black President. President Obama is hated so much by white men in the Repubicans party it is started to look like the old days when White men was very out spoken about their hate toward black men. This is nothing new. Keep report this stuff CNN and see how fast you will star a civil war. Mostly every white person running for Congress have some hateful things to say about the President and it is starting to look like these attacks are race driven. Thank you CNN for you continuing support for the party of hate black people.
Another crazy right wing disconnected from the real America !!! Maybe ,if he wins, he is going to quit in the first year, like his friend Sarah Palin... what a bunch of ignorant people !!!
The DOW surges 250 points today on strong manufacturing numbers (you know, from the private sector)...does that sound like socialism to you? Excuse me tea partiers, but where do you get these idiots???
Alaskans are gonna kick themselves in the butt for electing this nut.
Miller criticized is all the Republicans party have to offer the American people and I am getting so sick of all these hate speeches against President Obama. Hate keep this country divided and we have the Republicans to blame for this.
It must be the Alaskan education system because this guy is as incoherent as Sora Palin is...LMAO!
OK, please, please, please hold Republicans accountable for their comments on Social Security! Angle, Miller and a host of other Republicans have stated recently they essentially want to phase out Social Security.
Hmmm...I remember in the recent Health Care debate, one of the main scare tactics Republicans used was "if this Health Care Bill passes, we won't have enough money for Social Security and Medicare...and we want to defend those programs."
That whole argument is why the Republicans have won over so many elder voters. It's a total sham. They've always wanted to kill SS and medicare. Gingrich in '94 said "we will let them wither on the vine."
Let's be clear - Republicans want to gut or kill altogether both SS and medicare. Please understand that when you vote.
And you thought Nevadans were the only ones with buyer's remorse.
Of course he's going to come out against the "establishment". Of course he wants "an eventual end to Social Security".
He and his Tea Bagging ilk are all big on bluster and very short on ideas.
It's a damn shame that Sen. Lisa Murkowski was defeated. Electing this guy and his minions in the "Tea Party" would only increase gridlock and probably force the government to come to a complete standstill.
Stay away from my mother's Social Security... you Republican rich boys have already taken $140,000 from her in Wall Street, leaving her 4,00 after fees. Plus, you eliminated dental care from her pension, so that after 40 years of teaching, she walks around missing a tooth.
I'll take a tea bag and put it where the sun doesn't shine if you do any more to her. Enough, already, as you GUYS like to say. There are many more like me... we don't have any leader, ar any Jew talk show host. Give us the change that we voted for, get your crook butts out of the way now, or face revolution from everywhere.
This guy's no dummy; he graduated from West Point and Yale Law School. Thus, it stands to reason that he does not actually believe the Tea Party platitudes he's spewing, but rather that he is just pandering to the fringe.
This is exactly the same sort of shameless pandering that John McCain has adopted in recent months. Joe Miller and John McCain have the same goal: power at any cost.
what is with these people do they live on another planet this idiot is running around talking little government but his butt buddy stevens got a ton of money from the government for 40 years will guess what now I want my money back with interest you stupid uneducated fool go get your on food when the government airports start shutting down and the government roads are not useable and you can't use your GPS or cell phone
Wow....Alaska picked a real tool in this guy! Entitlements? Looks like Alaska ranks 11th for number of people per capita on welfare. They also all get a piece of the big oil pie; isn't that a bit socialist? Without big oil, they'd be tanked.
BTW, TARP was BUSH, not OBAMA. Obama's stimulus was 1/2 bailout and 1/2 public works investments. Bush's bailout was a total corporate bailout. How in the world have Republicans been able to pin the whole concept of all the bailouts on Obama? People, please, it's only recent history...pay attention.
He's of the major forces moving this country towards socialism. Now we are back to calling the President a Socialism. THE PARTY OF HATE speaks again about nothing but hate toward the President. If any thing, the constand attack toward President will bring out more voters if not all of them that supported him.
Miller has made the threat of socialism a central theme of his campaign. In a new web video on his campaign website he warns that "our nation stands at a crossroads. It's careening toward socialism and insolvency."
We seen this movie before back in 2008 and it didn't work then and it won't work in Nov. You republicans are nuts.
Who is this guy? He will disappear very soon just like all the newcomers do. They make these great (tea party, partisan) victory speeches, make 3 or 4 major gaffes, and then they are gone. Oh wait, then we will here about his extramarital affair, or that he is quietly gay, or something that will send him packing just as quickly as he burst out of his suitcase. This guy is not even an Alaskan. Are they so desperate that they would let an outsider determine what is good for them. Well, they did vote for Sarah, so heck yeah, they they are desperate....
Fair criticism of the GOP establishment, in my opinion. The fact that Obama has proven to be no more than the third term of Bush illustrates Joe Miller's point. Paul Ryan is pretty lonely on Capital Hill and will welcome a few Joe Millers to help restore sanity to Washington.
Please, not another nut!!!
Nutjobs from liberal loony wing are out in full force! Do you see any solutions on how to solve the USA fiscal crisis? No.
SS and Medicare will have to be eliminated to balance the budget.
Libs, get your worn out race cards and wave them around. Call him a racist, a bigot, a homophobe; we ALL know your playbook by now. You expect your "free" government checks, food stamps, public housing vouchers, free school breakfasts, free healthcare, etc.
Liberals are the "real" party of " NO:" NO Pledge of Allegience, NO Nativity Scenes, NO Christmas anything, NO Ten Commandments
on local/state/government buildings or courthouses, NO God on our currency, NO military spending, NO accountability, NO ethics, NO honesty, NO fiscal responsibility. And finally, NO birth certificate.
Thank god Bush didn't get to privatize social security like he wanted to...can you imagine what your older relatives would be doing right now? Their pensions and 401K's are empty. The Social Security they paid into every year would look the exact same way – empty. Think of elderly starving to death, older parents needing the money their children saved for their children's college educations just to put food on grandma's table OR a long line of elderly at soup kitchens. You go and put a nut like this or Angle into office and see just how bad it can get in the great US of A. I pray for this country.
Sarah Palin is a destroying force. She is helping to destroy the Republican party. She came to power in Alaska after accusing the Republican Governor of any number of negative things. And she unseated him. She helped Miller to beat an existing Republican Senator. So far she has not shown that her endorsement can do anything but shakeup her own party and throw existing republicans out of office. And when these far right candidates get into a match up with moderate Democrats in the general election they are going to scare the heck out of seniors, minorities and independents. Look at Angle against Reid in Nevada. Reid would have been beaten by almost any Republican candidate. But with a far right candidate like Angle he has a better than even chance at winning back his seat. Thanks to Palin and her influence that only reaches the right wing that votes as a block. Before we break out the Champagne lets remember that these Tea Party candidates have to win in a general election. And they won't have a strictly Republican Electorate in a primary.
How do these small minded self absorbed panty-waist goofballs get into politics?
And where does this arrogance come from where they feel only they know "what true Americans are thinking or feeling".
They think because they hear it on fox media or a "talking point memo" from the "bird-brain of Wasila" and it is some how more valuable than the mulititude of mindless right-wing gibberish sloshing around the dark pit that is the "I got mine, screw you" club for backward mobility?
This guy is a bigger nut case than his girl friend.
Well another Tea Party Nut is arriving on the National Scene.
Instead of abandoning the IOU's to Social Security from the general budget, why don't we abandon the money we owe to banks instead? Social Security has not run a deficit in its 70 years until this year and there is enough money in the trust fund to continue paying for 35 more years. It’s our military spending and our tax cuts to the wealthy that haven't been paid for. Let's abandon those things. The Social Security trust fund is our money that we put aside, it is not an entitlement.
Just like the GOP more Scare and Fear......you Miller and the likes of you (Angle, Palin, and the rest of the Tea Baggers) are the ones that are trying to take over this country and do away with Civil Rights, Social Secuirity and Medicare......I hope the Alaskan people wake up and vote the Democrat in.......
This should be fun to watch!
The neo-cons encouraged this canker sore called the tea baggers and now they will have to live with them!
Congress stole our Social Security money- it isn't free- we pay into the sysemt to fund it. The same is true of Medacare.
These are not give aways-they are truly entitlement -in this case meaning we paid for them – we are entitled to them!
We are also entitles to leader that think of us first but that doesn't happen either.
This man is a fool.
And this from a guy that takes oil revenue yearly in a socialistic state where each person gets thousands a year..
He's pretty much a hypocrit.
This guy is a total bonehead.
But,... Where were all these Republicans we're hearing from NOW, when Bush and Cheney were spending like drunken sailors ? When Bush and Cheney were killing our country by attacking a country that did NOT even attack us on 9/11 ??? Where were they when Bush and Cheney took us to the precipice of the 2nd Great Depression ?
Now you found your moral compass ??? Don't think so. You Republicans preach values but you have none. You people are always being busted for Gay behavior after you say it's against God's word, and you get busted sleeping around on your wives, after you preach "Family Values" ??? Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife who was dying of Cancer ??? Anyone remember Larry Craig ? What do you say about Bush's friend Mehlman coming out of the closet ?
Now you want the moral high ground ??? Don't think so.
Minesh, most people receiving SS and Medicare worked their behinds off all their life and paid into both. We don't have to eliminate these programs so we can cut taxes for the wealthy. Heaven forbid we take care of the seniors of this country.
And to the looney-tune who called the Dems the party of no, you pretty much listed a bunch of religious and moral value judgements. At least Dems view the government as a SERVICE PROVIDER while the Republicans view government as OUR DADDY WHO HAS TO GIVE US MORAL DIRECTION. I'll take the former view anyday of the week.
Also, welfare to lazy, non-working people is a fraction of SS. The vast majority of SS recipients are middle class to poor folks who worked their tails off and earned it!
There are NO moderates in the Democratic Party. They can call themselves Blue Dogs all they want, but they always cower to Pelosi and the party line. Liberals always want Republicans to be moderate
so they will let the Democrats get their way. Democrats never compromise and will take to the airwaves with the help of their
co-conspirator media journolisto's to lie to the American public. When Fox News or the Cartoon Network have more viewers than CNN, HLN,
and MSNBC combined, then you know your progressive numbers are dwindling.
Great we got a counter balance to all the loons that have been running our country into the ground since 2006. We are finally going to see representatives after November who are not anti-business and want to cut taxes and reduce spending. You can call him Senator – ha.
ZOMG!!! Extremist ideologue spouts extremist ideology and rationalizes it with misinformation!!! Story at 11!!!
Wed, September 1, 2010 11:22:15 AMKoch's is funding the Tea Party Express and Joe Miller win.
------------------------–
is also mounting evidence that Palin’s bread-and-butter, Fox News, has a cozy relationship with Koch money.
This election, Alaska candidate for US Senate Joe Miller is being endorsed and pushed heavily by Sarah Palin. He is also receiving an amazing amount of support on a national level by appearing multiple times on Fox News and receiving most of his financial backing from an organization called the Tea Party Express. According to the campaign finance reports at the Federal Election Commission website, the Tea Party Express (Our Country Deserves Better PAC) as of August 23 has spent a TOTAL of $560,175.98 on Joe Miller’s campaign.
Over half-a-million bucks on an unknown Senate candidate from Alaska…and interestingly enough, HE MAY BE THE ONLY CANDIDATE THEY ARE FUNDING!
In August 2009, it was reported in Talking Points Memo and the Washington Times that “Americans for Prosperity” helped launch the Tea Party Express’s trip across America with further assistance from FreedomWorks (Dick Armey’s organization that was formed from the split of Koch group, Citizens for a Sound Economy). Most Tea Party Express events are put on in collusion with what they call the “American Grassroots Coalition.” These include Koch Industry founded and/or funded organizations.
Even without the funding ties, this attempt at a coup in Alaska’s Senate race is the modus operendi for organizations run/funded by Charles and David Koch. Per The New Yorker article:
By 1993, when Bill Clinton became President, Citizens for a Sound Economy had become a prototype for the kind of corporate-backed opposition campaigns that have proliferated during the Obama era. The group waged a successful assault on Clinton’s proposed B.T.U. tax on energy, for instance, running advertisements, staging media events, and targeting opponents. And it mobilized anti-tax rallies outside the Capitol—rallies that NPR described as “designed to strike fear into the hearts of wavering Democrats.” Dan Glickman, a former Democratic congressman from Wichita, who supported the B.T.U. tax, recalled, “I’d been in Congress eighteen years. The Kochs actually engaged against me and funded my opponent. They used a lot of resources and effort—their employees, too.” Glickman suffered a surprise defeat. “I can’t prove it, but I think I was probably their victim,” he said.
I took a look at Joe Miller’s latest campaign disclosure. Of the over $283,000 he has raised, $103,000 came out of his own pocket, $5,000 came from SarahPAC, and $174,000 came from individual contributions both inside and outside Alaska. However, this is dwarfed by the over $560,000 used towards Miller’s campaign by the completely-outside-and-corporately-influenced Tea Party Express. That’s half-a-million dollars from ONE organization. According to the Murkowski campaign, there is no 527 or any other group providing anything like that kind of money to them.
I fear that giving Joe Miller a “win” will only encourage these organizations to replicate this experiment again-and-again across this country…in states where (not so coincidentally) Koch Industries has a business interest. And the Koch brothers have gotten away with a lot of this because their business is privately owned. With the SCOTUS “Citizen’s United” ruling, corporations can now get in the act and won’t even need to do this secretly.
Perhaps the ONLY issue anymore should be working for publicly-funded elections.
-funded politicians / elections are arguably the biggest threat we face as a democracy today.
I’m an American. I have one vote and a legal limit as to how much I can spend to support my views. Mr. or Ms. American Corporation Owner should also have only one vote, and an equal legal limit on how much they can spend to support THEIR views. The corporation itself is NOT an American citizen, any more than my house or car or anything else I own is a citizen.
Social security is solvent almsot through 2040. Look it up. If the $140K cap didn't exist, it would be solvent indefinitely. Look it up.
Yes here another dumb republican,seen too take right after Saran Palin. Surely Alaskans can't be dumb enough too vote for this dumb ass.
Having paid into SS for 40 years I am not entitled to it ....I have earned it. This uneducated, thoughtless blather is just a further sign that people like Miller and Palin are out to cut our noses off in spite of their faces.
Playing to the fears and bigotry of a segment of our population seems to be the in thing for Republicans and is the surest way to bring about the demise of the Republic. .
Just saw the bit on the news about the active shooter scenario playing out at the Discovery Channel building in MD.
What are the chances the media will label this guy a "radical leftist eco-terrorist," which he actually is?
Don't hold your breath.
If he were slightly to the right of Joseph Stalin, the media would tag him as a "radical right wing teabagger who hates black people!!!" and then they'd launch into a comparison of him, Timothy McVeigh, the North Dakota mountain men militias, the "racist" citizen-border-control Minutemen Project, the KKK, and Eric Rudolf... and that's before they blame his terrorism on "hateful talk radio."
But since the guy is a leftist, we instead hear crickets from the MSM... like how they handled the leftist who flew his plane into the IRS in Austin in February.
Edwin R. Murrow rolls in his grave at the state of what passes for "journalism" today.
Isn't Alaska a socialist state?
Why is he referring to himself in the third person?
For someone who is claiming to bring something new to Washington, he uses the same old schtick. He sounds like Bob Dole – well, minus the insane Beck Ramblings of socialism. But of course, he's smart enough to say he won't touch "entitlement" programs like Social Security.
In the even the Rs win (house or senate) it will be funny watching the Orange Man or the Turtle try to herd them into a bunch.
Think about it. Picture it in world politics. ha ha ha ha ha
Amazing how this country's future is in the hands of a swath of toothless retired hillbillies glued to Fox News. Amazing, sad, and a tolling bell warning the end of this country is near.
I find it very interesting that many of those who don't like what Mr. Miller have to say don't offer an alternative solution. They are quite content to label him and anyone who thinks like him as a nut-job or whatever their label-dujour.
The government is bascially bankrupt and has no chance of getting back on financial footing unless it starts dismantling the many entitlement programs that have been built up during better times.
Unfortunatley, there are way too many people out there that have gotten comfortable living on the government dole and can't imagine having to support themselves by working and saving.
I want all of you that think the Government should be paying for you or your grandma or whomever to remember that the government couldn't do that unless they held a gun to the heads of working people and threatened them with prison unless they gave some of their hard earned income for redistribution.
Forced charity is nothing short of looting and it is not what America was or should be about. If people want to VOLUNATARILY give a portion of their money to charities that help others then that is their business and God love them. But to use the goverment as a redistribution agency and, worse yet, a fairness enforcer is morally wrong.
And before some of you remind us that some people inherit their wealth let me address that too. When the money belongs to someone else and you take it (Whether they earned it or won the lottery or their dad gave it to them or they found it in a coffee can buried in their back yard) you are stealing.
Stop the looting!!!
Read Atlas Shrugged and see the moral decay associated with a society that feels it's ok for the government to pick the winners and losers.
This guy Miller is a total nutjob.
BTW, if the conservatives had brains in their heads, they would gently muzzle fellow members like "Liberals Are Poison" whose misinformed vitriol is a clear sign to everyone else that you people are nutjobs.
Note to conservatives: don't you get it? Miller gets away with it because he hides it all behind a nicely tailored suit, anchor-man hair, a winning smile and nice sounding, albeit purposefully misleading, rhetoric. You' dbe doing youselves a favor to learn how to be better scumbags.
Careful Miller, your crazy is showing!
Let's see, Alaska, under the late Senator Stevens, got back over $5 for every $1 they sent to Washington. So, if he is so "fiscally conservative" is he going to stop that? I'm a Democrat, not liberal, but you have to give it to Stevens, for what he did for Alaska. Murkowski continued what Stevens had started.
What will Joe Miller do for Alaska? He's talking about America, but I haven't heard him say what he is going to do for Alaska. Is he now NOT going to try and get earmarks for his state? We;ll see how long that last.
BTW – outside of extending unemployment insurance, please tell me what entitlement programs have been expanded? Oh yeah, these "entitlement" programs have been expanded – the VA (I'll concede it is run poorly, has been for years) – Education – tax cuts for 95% of Americans. Yeah, those "entitlement" programs have been expanded.........................
go wipe behind your ears Miller, you're rather wet there. then shut the heck up.
Miller is a piece of Dreck. I'm switching to Bud.
I am an Alaskan Democrat who voted for Lisa Merkowski because she seemed to try to make a fair decision and I shed a tear when she did not make it. I happen to live in the same town as Sarah and from quotes from acquaintances of hers over the years it seems apparent that she suffers from a Narcisstic Psychiatric Disorder. One who must always be in the limelight and cannot take criticism from anybody. It seems obvious that one of the reason's she quit as governor was that she was beginning to get some criticisms and so she runs. It is amazing how things in our state calmed down with her replacement governor, it was not one big hulabulu after another. So lots of luck Joe Miller, if you think you know our state better and a lifetime Alaskan.
Another republican irresponsible radical running for office. He is another one who wants to dissolve SS.
Alaska gets more entitlements and money from the federal government than any other state. Do not imagine the people of Alaska would want to give that up but who can tell how peole will blindly vote today.
Are all these Teabaggers so rich that they don't need any Social Security or Medicare when they are older? Even if they are, do they really want to watch their retired friends who aren't wealthy suffer as those programs are ripped away? So strange.
Democrats fail to understand that the federal government was never meant to be involved in our daily lives. It should have very limited powers. But democrats are so weak and helpless that they want the government to take care of them every step of the way throughout their lives. The federal government needs to sit quietly in the corner and get out of the way except for national security and very few other responsibilities. Democrats have weakened the country and failed miserably for the past 50 years.
Stan, you are entitled to your social security checks. The money you paid into social security was not a savings account for you. According to the law and to the courts, Social Security is a tax that is used to support those who are currently employed. I work and pay Social Security tax. Some of my money goes to you. When you were working, you paid that tax to support those who were retired at the time.
It is an entitlement program and a welfare program – like Medicare or Food Stamps. It is America's most successful welfare program. I am proud of the good Liberals who created it, like Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson.
if enough of these people come into power, the end of the USA will arrive. a loose collection of states will remain with little power to do anything as one cohesive unit. so think before you vote...
We have another uneducated nobody from the state of Alaska who belongs to a Republican extremist group criticizing President Obama???
No, it's not the moron Sarah Palin. It's ANOTHER lunatic Republican who no one has ever heard of, has no education, and never accomplished anything.
They sure make them stupid in Alaska!
The GOP and the Tea Party are moving this country toward Fascism.
The GOP and theTea Party are bad for America. They are a step backwards.
"I find it very interesting that many of those who don't like what Mr. Miller have to say don't offer an alternative solution."
You're kidding right? LIberals are throwing out so many solutions it's not even funny. The GOP remains 100% silent on new and innovative ideas. How do we know? Name them. Th eGOP clearly knows how to broadcast its ideas. It has done an outstanding job selling people on fabrications like "death panels," McCarthyistic misapplication of the concepts of socialism, and even nonsense such as Obama being somehow entirely responsible for and (apparently) the first President ever who has ignored the illegal immigration problem.
Liberals come out with new ideas...say things like "single-payer" and even Obama has throws it out before it even gets put on the table because of the need to mitigate the partisan attacks from the viral, bloviating societal parasites from the extreme right wing, who won't entertain anything if (a) it would perhaps be effective and therefore be considered success by the Dems or (b) it isn't tax cuts or 100% debunked trickle-down economic rain dance. The GOP's/conservatives' game has been to do NOTHING whatsoever but foster failure so they can blame it on Obama and the Dems. We're talking about people who had the unmitigated gall to propose a "budget" that was 3 pages long and CONTAINED NO NUMBERS!!! It's a cruel godd-mn joke that we're even having conversations like this.
God help this country if some how this country is handed back to the Republicans. What have they done in the past 10yrs that was good for this country, name one thing? While I agree that the Dems aren't perfect, they at least think of the American people, while still pandering to their own agenda seeekers.
I just want to give a shout out to all you Republicans I am still waiting for my trickle....oh wait I got it but it was the other trickle.
The rhetoric from these "FAR RIGHT" people is getting OLD! If the world & its problems were as SIMPLE as their SOUNDBITES, why don't they TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS & CLEAN UP AROUND THEIR OWN BACK YARD FIRST???? I, for one, am getting fatigue from hearing the same old right wing NON-SENSE!!!!
Kevin- You said it better than anyone else! If John F. Kennedy were alive today and wanting to run for office, he'd be called a right wing Republican. Go figure. What's going on in Washington and our nation is radical insanity.
Sorry, edit:

Yet where is the public discourse abotu all the new ideas the GOP keeps throwing out there? Hmmm? Why can't anyone name some and discuss all the NEW ideas the GOP has proposed that we try as a nation in order to fix out problems? Go ahead...make a list...I dare you.
Liberals come out with new ideas...say things, e.g., like "single-payer...it works in other countries" and even Obama throws it out before it even gets put on the table because of the need to mitigate the partisan attacks from the viral, bloviating societal parasites from the extreme right wing, who won't entertain anything if (a) it would perhaps be effective and therefore be considered success by the Dems or (b) it isn't tax cuts or 100% debunked trickle-down economic rain dance.

I would find it hard for a Republican not to win any seat in Alaska. For those that have never been to Alaska, it is predominantly comprised of people that do not care or want government control over their every action. They are typically free spirits and full of the pioneer spirit of freedom and liberty. They do not need State or Federal government to suckle them, they take care of themselves... That is why there are not a lot of libtard's in that State, they would die off in the long cold winters.
Who the heck is Joe Miller?
Alaskan for celebrity?
Can he, unlike Palin, hold an intelligent conversation on the issues?
Now someone finally has got to the true facts. OBAMA IS BAD FOR AMERICA. NOT ONLY SOCIALISM WE'RE FALLING INTO ISLAM IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY TAKING AMERICA. Obama's ultimate goal. If the American people can't see this then we are doomed to FALL.
Sure we need another Bush so we can return to Murder and Mayhem along with a deepening depression that he started byt stealing the treasury and the country blind. These Rspublicans are supposed to be conservatives but every time they get in office they immediately send the country into red hot debt. Bush had a surplus which he destroyed in a matter of months. If only we could get Bush and his family and thier cohorts in crime to give back all the money they stold from America we could pay the national debt and have alot of money left over. Put hm and his father and thier cohorts in Prison where they belong.
I hope this sucker realizes that if the powers that be are returned to the states and they are left to fend for themselves the suffering people of Alaska will suffer even more but then I gues it will be OK since he will have his own fat check from the "BIG" government he so despises.
Towards socialism: Are these people illiterate, unschooled? Such gross ignorance of major economic and political systems harkens back to medieval, theocratic mentality. Yet they want to govern a country. Unbelievable but true.
I fear what will become of this country if Republicans gain seats in congress.
I'm genuinely curious on tea party solutions for this country, if there are any. They(and republicans) keep saying Obama is leading this country in the wrong direction.
Well, its easy for them to say that ambiguously. So far, what he's saying is that he wants to end entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security......that were already here before Obama??! Man, Obama just can't win with these guys!
Is there any alternatives to the elderly getting insurance or help, or are we going to leave them on the streets? Again its so easy to cast stones – it can win elections, but I've yet to hear a workable alternative.
Another wingnut with an overly simplistic view of the economy joins the ranks
Let the game begin.
We have a huge deficit because Bush cut taxes without cutting spending, while the nation is at war. Medicare Part D also adds to the deficit because it is completely unfunded. The problem is compounded by the recession, which decreases the number of people who are working and can pay taxes, and increases the number of people who are not working and need government assistance. The health care bill adds little to the deficit because it will not be fully implemented until 2016, at which time it will cost 160 billion a year, so it is not the reason we have a trillion dollar deficit right now. Obama contributed to the deficit by his stimulus spending and his bailing out of banks and the auto industry. But he had little choice, because with the interest rate already low and the Bush tax cuts still in effect, he has no other way of fighting the recession. If he had not bailed out the banks and the auto industry, even more people would be unemployed right now.
"ISLAM IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY TAKING AMERICA. "
And there we have it. You heard it here, folks. Top, right wing nutjob announces America's "decline" into Islam and Sharia law.
I hope the people who work in the "news" media are proud of themselves. I really really do. One of us might as well be sleeping well at night. I know the advertising industry certainly is.
What a clown! He's what you get when turnout is 10%.
I'm a lifelong Alaskan like Lisa Murkowski, born and raised here. I'm disgusted that this horrible candidate beat a respected, senior Senator. Apparently she wasn't crazy enough for the tea partiers. Sickened that the politics of hate for Obama has resulted in this lunatic being on the ticket for senate representing Alaska. I'm a democratic and would gladly vote for Lisa Murkoski any day, any time, SAD, SAD, time for Alaska. I sure hate to have this embarrassment being a rep on anything Alaska. God help us!!!!!
Alaska gets back $5 for every $1 they send in to the federal government for taxes.
Let Alaska go it alone and we can save money by not sending them all that extra money
Does anyone else suspect that this joker might have some pretty serious skeletons in his closet that we're all gonna hear about real soon?
Joe Miller must have been hibernating for the last several decades. Alaska is and has long been the closest thing to a socialist state in this country. Palin, Miller and all other Alaskans have $3,000 given to them each year for doing nothing that is liberated from oil royalties. Alaska has been for decades the largest recipient of federal funds in the United States per capita. Miller and his ilk are just like the Republican governors, McDonnell in Va., Jindal in La. and Haley Barbour in Miss., who take billions in stimulus funds to balance their state budgets while blasting the Obama Administration for having a stimulus program. Obama should take those funds back at gunpoint.
just for the record....If anyone in the GOP says it is bad normally that means it is good, they just do not like it. keep that in mind. this character looks like another radical with new far right ideas, good luck.
Aren't there like 700,000 people in all of Alaska?
We have more than that in Fairfax County! So go on and think of your self as something important, Alaska would be broke without the socialized payout of money from the oil companies. Which is probably mostly from federal land. I don't mind that you get some thing from living way out there.
But please don't think you are some kind of old mule skinner tough guy when you all are more like the ficticious welfare queens that the Beckler rails against.
It's immeasurably uplifting to see all the Big-Government-lovers here going ballistic when faced with the next senator from the state of Alaska. Two months – tick-tock! Try not to crack a tooth with all that gnashing. Aww, who am I kidding – crack away!
People are saying that Republicans are not offering credible solutions to this nations problems. Well I have listed below the top 5 solutions offered by Republicans so people can stop making those claims.
Solution # 1 More tax cuts for big business and the very rich.
Solution # 2
Solution # 3
Solution # 4
Solution # 5
There you have it. Now put Republicans back behind the wheel and let them drive again and be happy when they drive us to our maker or the Poor House, whichever comes first.
The guy makes perfect sense to me.
tea party solution... attack and destroy the constitution and answer selected approved questions by the media later. lets turn America into the christian state it was founded on is what Beck said. I guess he forgot our founding fathers separated church from state for a reason, because of radicals like the ones that are surfacing now.
The Republican party is going to be reeling by 2012. They have so many Tea-Party backed candidates that even if they do win in the Midterms they are going to come to Washington and legislate so far to the right that all of COngress is going to be deadlocked. If the House falls under Republican control I think its just the contrast Obama needs to further make the case that this party had been hijacked by the far right and they need to go back to the drawing board on deciding where exactly they stand. In the meantime the presidential election of 2012 will be shaping up nicely for Obama because all it takes is a SMALL reminder of where mostly Republican policies got us in the first place before Americans "wakes up" AGAIN
Those of you who voted our President into office, don't give up on him. Please give him a chance to fix what has been broken for the past 8-10 years. It is unrealistic to think it can be done in two (2) years or less.
George W. had eight (8) years to run our country into the ground, can you at least give President Obama eight (8) to try and fix it. Please stop having a selective memory. Be true to yourself!! What ever happen to the truth? What ever happen to morals and integity? Where are the Christians values inwhich this GREAT country was founded.
OBAMA 2012!!
So he wants to eliminate Social Security....a fund that by all accounts was funded infinitely until these Bush "lite"...neocon...chicken hawk... goofs decided to "borrow" from it to fund the special interests of the their band of self serving lobbyists. Hopefully Alaskans will see through his brand of malarkey. The next thing he will likely want to eliminate is his constituents receiveing their share of the state's oil revenues. Isn't it amazing that these Tea Party advocates were for the most part Bush "lite" advocates...that is until it came time to taking responsibility for supporting that group's policies that lead to our nation's current challenges?
Is it me or does this guy look like a real slimeball
"For those that have never been to Alaska, it is predominantly comprised of people that do not care or want government control over their every action."
You realize, of course, that Alaskans get more federal money per capita than any other state by a huge margin. The only reason they can go up there and live out their fantasies is that the rest of us have paid to put in place the support systems on which they depend and then maintain them year after year.
Tell ya what – cut off the federal funding and then the big yearly oil checks (quite an example of socialistic wealth redistribution, that) and see how many of those rugged individualists stay there.
It is vital that our county have two strong politicl parties. The Dems have an intelligent, well-educated caring president in Barack Obama. The Republicans have Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachman, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party. Where are the Republicans in the manner or Ronald Reagan and John Warner, former R. senator from Virginia, people with honor, class and distinction? All have left or been run-off by the far-right nut cases now running the Republican party. Really sad....
This constant party politics is quite sad! If gorvenment has no place, why don't we all sit back and eat bad eggs; let the wall street fat cats get richer while laying off workers; let the BP's of the world kill the enviroment. Or perhaps we should borrow more money we don't have to fight wars not needed.WHERE ON EARTH IS
The problem I'm having with these teabaggers who want to privatize social security, is that the social security program pays for it self. The government does not fund this program. The taxpayers fund this program and if the government would put the funds back into the program, there would be no problems. Wake up America, stop listening to these idiots!
The GOP calls Obama a socialist because he proposes being able to rein in shady bank and corporate practices, Right wingers want to leave corporations and banks alone and say this is all just capitalism. Don't forget. IT was Bush Sr. that said he wants to usher in a New World Order. And his son W. just continuing the same agenda. They both appointed judges who want corporations to be able to spend unlimited money on campaign financing. Isn't anyone putting it all together ? "New World Order", "Unlimited Campaign Funding" ( LIke G.W. Bush and Big Oil), A recession started by Bush with suggestion that " Hey ! you should belong to a corporation and you may survive this recession" , Bailouts to corporate bigwigs with no provision that they be paid back. ( At least Obama Puts in a payback clause). I don't really see the difference between corporations and collective farms, except one is privately owned and one is government owned . . . Who is really the Socialists?
Joe Miller is a lawyer, a lying lawyer. The people of Alaska are nuts for voting him in office, and someone needs to take aim at Sarah Nut Palin. You think those other Republick nuts are crazy. Fasten your seat belt, because Joe Miller is about to take the country for a ride.
Are there any people in Alaska that are not complete idiots?
All of these Republicans just want us to go back to times where there is no scientific growth, no movement, no progression, but regression.
They want this country to be so simple, so ignorant, that total control over this economy will be as easy as picking up a phone, whispering a few words, or paying someone off a discretionary amount of money.
The people that are not educated, that do not see the TRUTH, that CANNOT connect the dots, and do not hold the privilege of common sense, are the ones that are being manipulated, and played.
In the end, Republicans want the public to have NO CONTROL OVER ANY CAPITAL.
I can't help but laugh at this bozo. He is trying to talk tough and gain the respect of the likes of Rush, Palin and Beck. He is blaming the President about Social Security and Medicare...he is an idiot. Then again look where he comes from..enuff said
......If you don't think for one minute that the Republicans aren't being taken over by these radical Tea Baggers than you got another thing coming....with the Republicans in control and these Tea Nuts they are going to bring this country down in away that will drawf what they proclaim Obama has done.....they will strip all programs (except money for War) give tax breaks to the rich and big corporations, Oil companies and to hell with the Senior Citizens, the poor, the middle class, and set back Civil Rights by 50 years
......If these Republicans were serious and concern about their Grand Old Party they better stop worrying about what Obama is doing and start worrying about what these Tea Bagger Radicals are doing to their precious party......these are the ones that are going to bring you down and bring the votes to the Democrats in November and in 2012.........Most of the people in this country are to smart to let the likes of Miller, Angle, Paul and Palin to take over this country......
Oh no not another Dink Bat from Alaska!
I'll take socialism over "DICK"tatorship ANYTIME. And I'm NOt beating around the BUSH anymore either! Obama is doing the best he can mopping up the mess from the last administration! This Miller guy just has a taste of fame and people like him will say ANYTHING to keep themselves in the spotlight. ANYTHING! Truth ~or~ lies! Even if it means tapping into stupid peoples heads and getting them fired up with "much ado about NOthing." Just stick to the facts man and NOt go spreading lies. (Of course, that's the only way most of them know.)Those are the most scary ones but, some of my fellow Americans are SCARIER! Screw yer heads on straight people! You're an embarrassment to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA other countries eyes! Beau Colby
CNN always reports that republicans object to Obama's ideas, ...but CNN never posts the gop counter or parallel ideas. Can we start getting some genuine GOP input.? I know there has to be some. Thanks!
Democrats fail to understand that the federal government was never meant to be involved in our daily lives.
----–
Except when it comes to pro-choice, gay marriage, or school prayer. Then, it's quite okay for the GOP to stick their noses in as much a possible, right?
It is sad to see that some people have no clue what socialism means. If the country is heading to socialsm, they won't be able to voice their opinion and will thrown in jail.
So Republicans shut up and read what socialism is about.
Have tou forgotten that this country is a mess thanks to you?
Boehner promised there would be a GOP agenda sometime next month, a strategy that gives Democrats limited time before the election to pick apart what's offered (which is likely to be pretty vague, anyway).
He did call for spending cuts, but not enough to tackle the deficit, especially if the Bush tax cuts are extended—which the the Congressional Budget Office says will give the economy an initial boost but then cause "daunting long-term fiscal challenges" and "reduce long-term economic growth."
Alaska? Their congressional delegation is dominated by Republicans . For the past decade, Alaska has been among the top three state recipients of federal funding, per capita. Usually, Alaska is far ahead - sometimes three times as far ahead - of most other states in the union.
We'll believe in republican change when we see it ...
By entitlement programs does he also include government subsidies, our tax dollars, paid to insurance companies, oil companies, corporate farms, and tobacco companies already making obscene profits on the backs of the middle class for their greedy CEO's. I don't think so, he's just targeting entitlement programs that benefit seniors and the needy. This guy really fits the tea party mantra: heartless, lily white, bigoted, corporate cheerleader (especially insurance and oil), war monger, financial and industry-wide deregulation, small-minded, climate change denier, christianity fanaticism, etc, etc. If the republicans / tea party take the house and senate in the mid-term elections our country will be in a world of hurt. The middle class and needy will get poorer and the wealthy will be get richer. Our country's standing and stature in the world will once again take a nose dive as it did with Bush.
The unfortunate reality is that both major political parties have sold their souls to the moneyed interests which, thanks equally unfortunately to the highest court in the land, can bribe them via their election campaigns without restriction. Again, we have The Best Government Which Money Can Buy. The only significant difference is in what methodology each uses to con voters when election time is near, with domestic policies varying just enough so that many voters feel that they have a choice, and with foreign policies virtually indistinguishable.
Joe Miller and the tea party are subservient to Palin. Unbelievable!
I can hear nothing intelligent coming out of this nut? I know that people from Alaska are different than those from the 48, but maybe they can see too much of Russia from their houses. Joe Miller, would ruin Alaska and undermine our country. Could repulsive republicans lose in republican Alaska? Wouldn't that be a surprise in November!
Just another nut to add to the jar.
Joe Miller, social security is NOT an entitlement....it something I have contributed to for the past 40 plus year to help when I retire in the next 18 months. My job & I both contributed. Yes, I am entitled to it not because it is welfare but rather because I HAVE PAID ALREADY FOR IT!!!
Miller just another wingNUT!
So do I, Joe..........so do I.
In NOvember voted NO for the Party of NO....... solutions, new ideas, leadership!
It is now a fact: Alaska has taken over the number one state for blithering idiots. How you elected this man to represent you is a testament to your being rated 49th on the illiteracy scale. We the Sheeple. I am proud of you Texas, you have relinquished your spot as the dumbest.
Alaska – what on earth were you thinking??
These republicans and tea partiers are just out of their minds. People please go vote in November. We will certainly be doomed if these nuts get into office. Between the republican and tea party politicians it is very scary. These people are not good for the true Americans at all. They just keep on trying to change how people live their lives and it should be their way only. It is not the government doing this, this is the power hungry nuts trying to take over. I can not believe that their followers believe the crap they are spewing. The poorest people of the republican party might as well get us to being the underdog. They want to keep dumbing down their followers and they do not know any better. It is amazing to me how their precoius leaders have opened their eyes and they are still walking around blind as ever. I bet they will not return the medical stimulus check when they receive them this fall. If they are so against the American government return the taxpayers money when you receive these checks. Don't just talk the talk.
Alaska receive more federal dollars per person per capital than just about any other state this guy is stupid or read the same papers as Palin
They sure do raise them crazy up there in Alaska! This guy is a lunatic!
Is everyone from Alaska a wingnut or are there some normal people up there???
Miller is not uneducated, but he is still a liar. Alaska already IS a socialist state. They pay no state income tax, no property tax, and no sales taxes. They get all their revenue from taxing big oil, and the largesse of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and the ability of their representatives to ram through pork projects. If Miller is honest, and wants to end all that, good for him. Michigan could use our own dollars back. But I bet the words "We need to have a tax system here in Alaska" never pass his lips. He and Palin are hypocrites, plain and simple.
For years I've watched the steady drumbeat tactics, building up to the "lets eliminate social security" push. The money is gone, they say, it was never there, etc. They money was taken and replaced with treasure bills (are we saying the government will default on this and all their other treasury bills). Hmm, lets tell all private investors and other countries, sorry your money is gone..too bad. Very simple, we stole from social security to hide the fact that we didn't want to pay higher taxes for all the other things we wanted. It is not an entitlement...we paid for it and it was stolen. Raise the FICA tax cap, pay social security tax on all income and put the money back. Then as a people decide what we want as a society and pay the taxes to do it. No more hiding the size of the deficit behind social security because americans are too spoiled to pay for what they want, and politicians are too gutless to tell them that.
This guy has no idea what "socialism" means. Alaska, with it's massive reliance on Federal redistribution of wealth (#3 per capita in federal pork among all the states) and the government instituted wealth-sharing with the oil industry is one of the most socialistic states in the union. But hey, if he wants to get Alaska off the federal dole and Alaskans are OK with that, more power to him.
Just what we need in Washington, another big mouthed crooked lawyer.
Miller Alaska and Angle Nevada are both extreme right wing nut jobs. These two make legally insane people look normal. There's no place in government for these types of people who just talk hate and fear in hopes of getting elected and then they will absolutely ruin our great country. Keep them home or in a home.
Vote NO in NOvember to the party of NO.
And I have about concluded any politician from Alaska, even ones who quit half way through an elected term, are bad for America.
Vote for these birds and kiss your social security and medicare good bye
Govermment is not the problem, it is the politician that we elect to run it.
It is the wrong direction for America," Miller said.
As of this morning, 64% of all Americans agree with that assessment.
Miller is complaining about socialism?
Alaska is the epitome of socialism – but I doubt he realizes that.
the guy is just running for for governor of the least populated state in the US and he's already acting like he' s gonna run the country someday. see what kind of affect miss Sarah has on people on a ego/power trip. bet he's in bed with big oil too, as well as miss Sarah. hmmmmmmmmm....
make that running for senate....my bad.
I thought that South Carolina was a backwards state after what has been coming out of there the past few years, BUT what has come from Arizona and Alaska is really giving SC some competition. This guy must have been living with the polar bears. Just another state now I'll add to my list NOT to visit and give my tourist dollars to.
What the Fascists fear most of all is intelligence.
Stay stupid America, they love you that way...
Joe MIller,Joe Wilson,Joe the plumber, and Joe Rockhead all characters with simple names and simple minds.
This nut and Palin should get maried and have a bunch of little morons just like them so they can make Alaska look even more stupid then what they already are.
Everyone complains about the government and the economy. Then when somebody who actually has a different point of view comes along, suddenly it's "nutjob" this and "wingnut" that. That's why we'll never improve our lot.
If many of these nihilist anti any government at all types get elected this year, the country is going to be in a world of hurt and the rest of the GOP is going to be between the rock of refusign to govern and take responsibility and the hard place of working out a compromise with the Dems to keep things functioning. Lots of people think they are against big government until it's their omelet that's tainted, or they can't visit Yellowstone, or there are no border patrols, and no one shows up in a disaster. And if all the functions that once were handled federally are turned over to the states for 50 different sets of laws, then guess what you'll have- The Balkans.
Out to lunch, this Tea Partier!
JESUS said: "feed the hungry, clothe the naked, nurse the sick, care for the orphans and widows" ... "inasmuch as you have done it to the LEAST of these my brethren, you have done it to me."
Sounds like Social Security, MediCare, and "socialism" to me!
Wouldn't we have been in a fine state if Bush had succeeded in turning over the Social Security funds to Wall Street??!!
I entered into a contract with the government when I started paying into Social Security over fifty years ago, and it damn well better be there, or there WILL be a violent revolution.
So, I guess the question is - where was this guy during history class? FDR gave us several things that this guy might seem to think are socialist; the minimum wage, limiting the work week to 40 hours before overtime, Social Security to help those that have limited pensions among other things.
I would like to know what this guy contributes to social welfare organizations. Where does he expect people who need help if there is no government help and the rich don't fund the social welfare organizations like food pantries and job training locations.
These people want to cut taxes. Taxes are at the lowest since 1950. Cutting taxes is the only solution the republicans ever have. That and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are the other reason we have spent so much. Remember, Bush is the one that signed the bailout bill. Raise taxes for the wealthiest back to the Regan days.
They may be free spirits Hugo but the population of alaska also gets a nice check each year from the oil companies. So not such free spirits after all. Lots of people that dislike government . But they don't confrom to any standard. But will take oil money and the hell with the enviornment.
I want to know how many people in Miller's family are receiving Social Security and/or Medicare.
And how many people in Miller's circle of friends are receiving Social Security and/or Medicare.
And I want to see him on tape telling them that if he gets elected, he's going to fight to cut off these same benefits for others who may qualify for them.
Miller, Angle, Palin, Bachman....they are all nuttier than a squirrel turd.
Miller's an idiot. Alaskans HATE him.
He's making consistent pitches that classify him as a bonafide loon.
Someone better hurry and take this boy to school, Alaska isn't the only State in the Union but if he gets his way it will no longer be a state.
How much Fed money does Alaska get each year? Miller better walk it like he talks it!
Anybody from Mama Grizzly is sure to fail at the General Elections.This is only a pyrrhic victory and the reality will dawn when the Dems secure a shocking and overwhelming victory in November 2010.Watch out.
Left-handed thread on this one1
I'm a true American, from a family of military personnel going back three generations, someone who grew up around the world and consequently gained an appreciation for our country and our freedoms.
I'm also a Democrat who votes and gets others out to vote. And someone who will work night and day to defeat at the polls people like Miller (and his backers Palin and Beck and all the other corporate lackeys who want to turn our nation into a third-world country where a few families own everything, there's no Middle Class and social programs are gutted).
I saw it when I lived in Latin America – and I'll be damned if I'll let it happen here!
Vote for America = Vote Democratic
Another candidate with no ideas and pushing the blame on Obama. This is getting very repetitive and tiresome. We need ideas and unity, not more division.
