Am I okay with it?! Certainly not! The NRSC is protecting its own and the status quo, rejecting the demand to return to constitutional governance. Senator John Cornyn needs to hear from you NOW!

http://cornyn.senate.gov/

Not thrilled but if it were the candidate we supported would we feel the same? We should let the establishment know that we think we just want the votes counted and let the chips fall where they may without a costly legal battle but we will not tolerate any funny business.

Cornyn needs to be reminded that we DO NOT support Lisa Murkowski! Lets all send Cornyn a note letting him know that we are aware of his actions and that we want it stopped immediately. Also remind him that he is elected as well and if he supports her ....we will NOT support him and he will be fired!

Confront Rep. Cornyn to please make sure that the votes are counted correctly. The people have made their statement and want a CONSERVATIVE Republican not another RINO.

Let,s let john know that he will meet a primary challenge in his next election cycle.
Let's send a message to all incumbents that it is no longer business as usual.

Just further substantiation that the Tea Party's decision to hitch a ride on the Republican bandwagon was a serious mistake. When you crawl into bed with snakes, should you really be surprised when one bites you?

No, I am not ok with this. We need to tell Sen. Cornyn to stay out of this fight, PERIOD. If he continues to meddle, he needs to know that we will fight him tooth and nail next election, to oust him!!!!!!!!

I'm NOT okay with it. We should send Cornyn a message to STAND DOWN on pushing his own agenda and support the recount process being done HONESTLY.

No I am not okay with this. We need to contact John Cornyn and tell him to step away from this situation.

The NRSC traditionally supports the Republican incumbent. We don't like it. But that's just the way it is---no matter where John Cornyn may stand personally. I trust the NRSC legal staff to keep things honest. I don't think we need to take any action. The election is over, and the numbers will give us the outcome.

Um, you mean Joe Miller, right? Or do you lie? Just kidding.

I think John Cornyn should hear from us. He responded when we raised a stink about his Charlie Crist endorsement. I think he'll listen.

Whether that means a coordinated phone campaign to his offices, or an actual protest in front of his offices, I'm not sure what is best. But he definitely needs to hear from us. LOUDLY!

This is but another in the series of proofs that the Senator from Texas, our own, is also willing to sell us down the river. This election should be decided as the votes are cast and the legal stuff should come as a last resort, not as the first. Not to mention you would think that knowing Murkowski is really a Dem.(as they..the Dems... refer to her) he would at least drag his feet a little on this. This will be expensive! If it is warranted, fine, but at this stage there are Races pending that need that money
far more than this (Harry Reid)!
This finishes
Sir Cornyn with me...I see that it is now a certainty he is part of the 'elite'...he simply needs to be replaced at the first opportunity!

NOT OK AT ALL! I sent an email last night and put it under "crime" as a topic and told him it is a crime if he continues in this process! Would the same consideration be made if the vote was reversed??? I think not. I am sincerely disappointed. I guess he is an "establishment" Republican.

1. Not okay
2. Fire off a letter to Sen. Cornyn urging him to rethink and butt out! This race should be decided by the voters of Alaska, especially not lawyers paid with GOP donations. In an anti-Incumbent year, "Incumbent retention" should not be the NRSC goal, holding the seat Republican should, whether Miller or Murkowsi (hopefully Miller). Maybe post letter online so Tea Partiers nationwide can electronically sign onto it.

Hell no, I am not OK with this. Why should the NRSC spend one penny trying to save a liberal RINO incumbent from losing to a conservative. NEVER ever give any money to the NRSC, or the republican party in general.

All of us should swarm Cornyn's Texas offices, swamp his staff with e-mails, faxes and phone calls and let hims know that we are fed up with the status quo, and with his interfering in other states in an effort to undermine the will of Alaska's voters. Let him know that we won't accept the same brand of neo-con nonsense in the new Congress that we're building. Let him know that we can't wait till it's his turn to stand for nomination and election. We the people are awake, we're angry, and we will not tolerate this sort of usurpation or oppression any longer. The GOP needs to get with the voters, not the other way around!

Shouldn't there be a representative for Joe Wilson to supervise the counting of the votes? Why should Murkowski have this advantage. Both candidates should have the same level playing field regardless if they have been incumbent.

Kick AZZ, take names!!!
Starting with Cornyn.

I'm not okay with it and I think we should organize a physicia protest as well as fax, email and phone.

I am in TOTAL disagreement with Senator Cornyn giving assistance in the legal effort to Murkowski against Joe Wilson.

We need to allow the votes to be counted. But we must see that it is not " stolen". Cornyn needs to know we are watching.

I am not OK with this. Let the votes be counted with the aid of lawyers or other political maneuvering. Let the people's votes be counted as the ballots were marked.

When I finally got someone at the NRSC (202-675-6000) I told them in no uncertain terms that although I appreciate Cornyn's conservative votes lately that I don't support Murkowski's poor record and want him to reconsider the NRSCs support of her over Wilson. I also shared that I would be looking at his track record when he comes up for re-election and this decision would add negatively to his record.

John Cornyn should not be sending any assistance to Murkowski. In my book, Gov Sarah Palin & McCain's vice presidential running mate is the ONLY Republican qualified to be there. John Cornyn has no business in Alaska's race. They have laws in Alaska and this is Cornyn's & the National Republican Party OVERREACH--The establishment Republicans show their true colors--they are upset that a CONSERVATIVE Republican beat a RINO%u2014AND they are looking for any way possible to delay the outcome and call foul play. Cornyn needs to fully explain what he is doing there and who is he meeting with and for what reasons. If he is up to no good, he needs to apologize to all CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WHO WANT TO TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY FROM THE DEMOCRATS AND THE RINOS. AND WE NEED TO TAKE NOTE THAT HE'S COMING TO THE AID OF A RINO!! We need to flood him with faxes, e-mails and personal visits. And, if he has anyone in Alaska sent to help Murkoski, then he's there to interfere with justice.

Looks like we need a TRUE CONSERVATIVE SENATOR in Texas and it might be time for him to get the pink slip%u2014since this is a slap in the face to Conservative Republicans. It%u2019s obvious to me Murkoski is going to sue somebody and she wants BIG NAMES to help her case.

Eventho, Murkowski is a Republican office holder, I do not think that the GOP show show favoritism to either of the candidates running in a GOP primary. In fact, I think that was the stance when Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist were first running against each other, GOP stayed neutral. I say that we contact John Cornyn, remind him of our support of him and ask him to remain neutral and let the best person win.

Let Alaskans take care of Alaska's business without outside interference.

I am absolutely astonished at Cornyn. I lived and worked in Alaska for 13 years. Know the drill. Lisa is a RINO. She dose not support repeal of Obamacare and that for me does it. So I am calling Cornyn's office

The_______. Party affiliations with the GOP have been fraught this year with poor choices of incumbents or other moderate GOP losers, who had already been members of the good old boy's club.
It is time for this to stop. I am a Precinct Chairman for the GOP which means I am obligated to vote for the Republican candidate. It does not mean I am limited to supporting them in becoming the candidate if I do not believe that they are the best conservative in the race. In fact, I have supported each true conservative that has run during this primary time for all of the states and I will continue. I answer to God 1st and country 2nd and please dear God,please bless America. We are in serious trouble...

I think you mean Joe Miller, not Joe Wilson. This having been said, I definitely am not OK with the NRSC sending counsel to Alaska. Let Alaska handle its own primary election. I have called both the NRSC and Cornyn's office here in Dallas and told them how I feel. As a past contributor to the NRSC, you can bet I won't make that mistake again and I let them know it.

The national Republicans need to BUTT OUT and not interfere in the vote-counting. Let's let Cornyn know we're totally against this.

Let's have a fair count of the votes. Sen. Cornyn just got some mud on his feet. Has anyone seen Al Gore hanging with Cornyn lately. His next public speaking engagement should be drowned by booing until he leaves the stage. Do we have a qualified person to run against him? All Tea Party supporters should start soliciting every person in your sphere of influence to join us and be active. Tell the Libertarian that it took the Libertarian Party 12 years to get a candidate on the ballot. We don't need a new party, just conservatives elected in our party.

Not ok with it - Cornyn needs to hear from us that we want winners supported, not incumbents.

Bottom line is we need legal beagles there too. Last thing we need is another stolen election ala Franken and SNL... what a joke!

It appears that John Cornyn wants to attempt to thwart the will of the voters in Alaska, which is an absolute disgrace. He needs to mind his own business, despite what he seems to think IS his. Let's hope that Joe can pull it out. The NRSC needs to butt out; I will be emailing Senator Cornyn next.

Very upset by the decision of the RNSC to back Murkowski. After failing to stop Kagen, and backing so many RHINOS, I won't be giving to any Republican organizations, but to conservative candidates only. Apparently the leadership of the RNC hasn't gotten the full Tea Party message, I'm sorry to say.

He is in a tough situation. They would be better served to stay out of the primaries and save resources for the election. Cornyn may feel he is obligated to support an incumbent party member, but he can only lose with this approach. They should keep out of it altogether, let the state's process run its legal course, and then wholeheartedly support the winner. Until the RNC decides to formalize a move to the right, we are going to be stuck with RINOs. THe best solution is to not let them win by voting for those who stand for the Constitution and limited government

I'm OK with it. Look, we'd expect the same treatment if Joe Miller was behind in the vote. It actually helps the T Party by adding credibility if the Rep Party verifies all the votes.

I sent the folling email to Senator Cornyn:


It has been brought to my attention %u201Cthat the National Republican Senatorial Committee, headed up by Texas' own Senator John Cornyn, is dispatching the lawyers to save Murkowski's hide: Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is headed to Alaska at the request of Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) to help provide guidance to the GOP incumbent who finds herself trailing attorney Joe Miller (R) by roughly 1,600 votes.%u201D I was a Republican for over four decades. Due to the Middle East wars and Bush%u2019s excessive spending, I became an Independent. In frustration, I voted for Obama. This turned out to be a mistake. However, I still have my misgivings about the Republican Party and have not provided any funding to The National Republican Senatorial Committee. Instead, I have contributed a number of times to Jim DeMint%u2019s Conservatives Fund. I believe that the Republican Party has deserte

I am not okay with this. In my opinion the only thing to do is "fight fire with fire". Start a Money Bomb for Joe Miller...TODAY!

I call Johns office and expressed my disaproval! We need more to do so!

No, its outrageous. I've called and emailed Cornyn my opinion and will be sending out a email blast tomorrow morning to ask our members to do the same.

Clint Cook
TTPA

Not okay! We need to come down on Cornyn and send a message to the Republican Party--we don't like Rinos.

No, I'm not OK with it, and I've already contacted Sen. Cornyn (MY senator) to tell him how I feel.
I also contacted Kay Bailey Hutchison to tell her I want her to speak to Sen. Cornyn.
Senator Cornyn, in spite of his position on the NRSC, should back Joe Miller and/or NOT support RINO Lisa Murkowski. She's exactly what we DON'T need in the Senate.

John Cornyn needs to be targeted hard, when he comes up for re-election. It is time for him and people like him(Murkowski)to be voted out of office. If they steal the Alaska election, a recount should be demanded. We don't need anymore crooks like Gore in Florida. Just hope the Daley machine doesn't help count. Cornyn needs to stay out of the fray, or suffer the consequences of defection. If it looks like a RINO, Talk like a RINO, and walks like a RINO, she's a RINO. Cornyn may be a closet RINO to be watched.

No, I am not OK with this, but John Cornyn is probably within his rights and I am within my rights never to send money to the NRSC. Let's vote with our pocketbooks and send money to Joe Miller!

No, I'm not okay with this. This is why I'm not currently giving money to the Republican Party - they're not listening to the people - they're still following their own agenda. I'm going to be in touch with Cornyn and let him know what I think of this. And the next time the Republicans call me soliciting money, they're going to get an earful from me.

Team - The NRSC is the group sending in the lawyers to support Murkowski.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/41518.html
They also supported Arlen Spector and Charlie Crist in 2009.

John Cornyn is the Chairman of the NRSC.

They are working against the anti-incumbent, Tea Party wave that is coming and we are driving. Cornyn is in our backyard and I bet we can shake his tree on this. Let's tell him we know what is going on and expect better from him!

At a meeting I attended Monday, Pete Sessions's actions with Dede Scozzafava were defended as his doing "his job". I can accept that BUT I don't have to like it, and I believe Sessions' and Cornyn's jobs can be eliminated IF the Republican Party adopts a position that you can't be a member of the Republican Party if you vote 30% or more with the Democrats. The party didn't do its own cleansing by getting rid of the RHINOs so we'll just have to do it for them! Elect more Joe Millers by donating to the individual campaign and don't give a dime to the Republican Party. No money...now lawyers! Oh and don't forget to get rid of Sessions and Cornyn! Let the Republican Party know why you aren't giving them money!

Perhaps we should all just demand that they do away with these kind of committees/organizations....it seems to be an institutionalized way of 'guaranteeing' unlimited terms...maybe getting rid of these orgs could be a first step towards estabishling term limits for all of our representatives...

This is not OK, but it is another example that career politicians just dont' get it. It's amazing how these incumbents think they're entitled to win and can't accept the fact that just maybe they didn't get the majority of votes. I'm not sure what needs to be done, other than John Cornyn doesn't need to send the legal assistance to Alaska.

Send out John Cornyn and Lisa Murkowski's e-mail addresses so that everyone can e-mail them to encourage Lisa to drop her re-election bid and endorse Joe Miller.

no, hell no i am not O.K. with it, we have got to step up, if they suck and they are an incumbent then they must be removed. no questions asked, we have to stop electing the less evil, and it is up to us. If Mr. cornyn dosen't agree, then I guess he casts his lot with the rest of the theives and crooks, we'll see him on the next election. I think he has my contact information if he would like to talk, my family has been supporters of cornyn for years, but it is time to clean out the roost., no one, and I mean no one is safe because they have tenure or just because they call themselves republican. CLEAN HOUSE NOW!!!

We need to vote Cornyn out at the next opportunity. I am sick of his wrongheaded "leadership."

No, Leave the dirty politics out of this. Republicans beware. If you are not conservative enough, you will be elected out.

What should we do? Start looking for a NEW SENATOR! We will need to replace BOTH of our senators in the next two elections, and we need to tell our current leadership we will. If Michael Williams, who was planning to run for Kay Bailey's seat IF she won the GOP nomination for Governor, is my choice for the next Senator from TEXAS. I know we don't endorse candidates, but we can DAMN well inform our current senators that they are OUT OF TOUCH, OUT OF DATE, and ON THE WAY OUT!

All Republicans need to be notified that this is why the approval rating of the Republican party is so low and why people aren't donating to the Republican party. I have already gone online at his site and let him know I will not back him again and I am letting the rest of the Republicans know this is why they are not receiving funding and why the tea party is bringing in people to run for office.

No, I am not OK with this situation. He is just as much what is wrong with Washington as the progressive liberals. It's time for the "machine" to get out of this race. Cornyn must pull back the heavy-handed lawyers and go home. Let Alaskans do their own counting without congressional interference. If he does not do this on his own, then we need to confront him with telephone calls, emails, visits, FAXes, or whatever it takes to stress to him it is "hands off" and no tampering with this election.

Sen. Cornyn and the NRSC should keep out of the Alaska election. Let the people decide, not lawyers.

I think the RNC or NRC or whatever, should stay out of it. I live in Texas and love John Cornyn, I understand if JC just wants to be sure everything is counted legally, but that's the limit....no $$ for Murkowski.........

I THINK IT SUCKS!! This is EXACTLY why I have stopped contributing to these guys.

NRSC needs to stay out of the Republican primary. NRSC can support the Republican Senate candidate coming out of Alaska. NRSC is playing in state elections in an attempt to get the candidate THEY want, not necessarily the candidate the people of Alaska want to represent them in the U.S. Senate.

Alaska's election process is Alaskan business and everyone else should butt out. Period.

Miller has so far won the election. All of the absentee ballots need to be counted. This is how Franken got elected.

I am NOT okay with this situation. It show's that John Cornyn doesn't get what is happening among the electorate or he doesn't care. It shows that he is among the "ruling class of elitists" and not representative of the "country class" and those in the Tea Party who are fed up with the aloof "ruling class." I am extremely disappointed in my senator.

My husband and I got a letter off to Sen Cornyn
telling him we opposed this aid....

He should but out and probably get
out.

I think we need to vote John Cornyn out of office.

1. Not OK
2. Alaska should have its say.. and Texas can decide about Senator Cornyn when he is up for election. TERM LIMITS, please!!!

This is why I can't in good conscience support the republican party. I may be more likely to vote for their candidates than the democrats' (although I'm not likely to vote for either if there is a good 3rd party candidate), but I will not participate in their sickening party politics.

Not okay! Mail, e-mails and calls to his office opposing his actions. A rally at his office to show him our opposition to his actions. Can we shut his local office down for a day?

Am I okay with it? No more than I am okay with Barrack Obama being president right now! I have called Cornyn's office several times this year expressing my frustration over NRSC's meddling in primary business. You would think after Florida and Crist, they would learn abstain from this kind of nonsense. I shall call and protest yet again.

No I'm not ok with it. It's the typical cronyism that goes on in Congress. They all take care of their own. You can't tell me that if she wins he won't use this for leverage.

John, you are wrong and need to back off.

No! I am not okay with John Cornyn injecting himself or his lawyers in this situation...He needs to know asap that we are aware of this and he will have to stand accountable for his "old boys club" actions! The gig is up on these annoying players!

The least he could do is stay out of it. It's not like it's his jurisdiction. Like some republicans, his actions smack of resentment toward the TEA party. He appears more interested in maintaining the loser strategy of the republican party of maintaining the status quo. We need to fight psuedo conservatives like John Cornyn and show him our opinion at the ballot box and get him out of office.

A further thought. I am with those of you who have suggested replacing Cornyn in 2012. But before stirring the pot too much let%u2019s find our replacement. I suggest that we need to start %u201Cinterviewing%u201D potential candidates now as we have only two years before the 2012 elections. If we cannot find a person more worthy of our support than Cornyn in the next 12 %u2013 18 months, we may be stuck with Cornyn since he is without a doubt preferable to a democrat.

I thought Cornyan was on our side but he may be saying our votes don't count...if so, let's vote him OUT when his time comes.

I thought Cornyan was on our side but he may be saying our votes don't count...if so, let's vote him OUT when his time comes.

Sen Cornyn needs to stay away from this election...Joe Miller is clearly the best man for the job...Murkowski voted for some of the Obama crap...br

He's an "A" for conservative issues in Tx. Can't get much more if you are conservative. I disagree how the game is played, but he'll get my vote.

No, I am not OK with this. Shades of Al Franken all over again. Starve the Beast with donations and call his office to let him know of the displeasure.

I called Senators Cornyn's about this today and they told me they could not even hear what I had to say since it has nothing to do with legislation. They suggested we contact the NRSC and issue our complaints there. They gave me the NRCS phone number, 202-675-6000, so I called there and voiced my issue with helping an apparent RINO and that we are working our tails off to remove the RINOS, like her.

This exactly an example of why I tell the NRC that I cannot donate to them. I can only donate money to candidates I in whom I believe.

I'm okay with making sure the ballots are counted honestly. I am NOT okay with any other resources being given to Murkowski. Yes, Cornyn's office needs to hear from us...and know that we are watching and paying attention.

Yes, the RNC backed LM. They have an obligation to advise her. If Joe Miller has more votes, he will win. It is a great showing for him and the TEA Party. Congratulations!

NRSC 202-675-6000. Calling Cornyn's office will do no good, NRSC is separate from his Senatorial duties. THE NRSC is there for the incumbents unfortunately. If an incumbent asks for help, the NRSC has to help, so my suggestion to them was that they should not help or fund any incumbent that goes against their constituents, the constitution and our rights. They took an oath therefore they should be held to it.

Not okay!!

let the voters decide - keep the lawyers out - the National organization should stay out

Cornyn is a RINO too, just like Murkowski. RINOs of a feather stick together. Disgusting!

If this is the best Cornyn can do, he needs to go as well!!! What is wrong with these "namby-pamby" Senators we have? They have truly lost sight of right and wrong, and what their consituants really want!

Cornyn should stay out of it!

No, I am not OK with this. We need to set up a protest right in front of Cornyn's office ASAP.

The NRSC should stay out of it. I quit giving money to them some time ago because of such things as this. That's also why I no longer call myself a republican. I'm a conservative and proud of it!

I would say that if he is sending this person to advise a fellow senator on election law and what have you then it is fine. If on the other hand he is sending this lawyer to help her get votes discounted then he needs to be told to keep his paws off. This is an issue for Alaskans to decide not republicans or Texans. It should be an unbiased counting of votes and as one other person mentioned let the chips fall where they may.

Unless the NRSC also sends legal assistance to Mr. Miller, I think that Ms. Murkowski should stand alone on the matter.

I am most certainly NOT ok with this and feel betrayed by Cornyn, whom I have always considered a bit above average for a Senator. I have already advised him via email that I will NOT contribute to the NRSC to have my money used to keep the establishment going. I will continue to advise him of his mistake with each and every letter, phone call or email I receive. Definately let the Senatory hear from you. Remember, it is OUR contributions that is paying for this and we have the more right than any to say DO NOT SUPPORT THE RINOS or your next re-election may be a stake.

JOHN,
I CALLED YOUR OFFICE AND NRSC AND BE SURE IF YOU HELP MURKOWSKI AND PULL SOME CRAP AGAINST MILLER. YOU ARE DONE IN TEXAS.

John Cornyn is old school republican and these good old boys do not understandn that we do not want politics the way they have been doing it. it is time to return to the constitution and doing right for our country!We need to go after these guys next!

I'm not o.k. with it. Cornyn should feel the heat for not supporting the party nominee in Alaska.

I would like to know why he is supporting her in the first place. Is he not a true conservative. I think he should be made to explain his actions to tea party members.

I think every one should donate funds in order for the Tea Party candidate to have a paid gun in their camp, and make sure the Republican hack doesn't get away with anything.
Then I think an e mail campaign to cornin advising him to but our, that he doesn't own his seat either.

Stay out of Alaska's Senate race. We need real conservative Republican's running for office.

I do not like it; however, Sen. Cornyn has a professional relationship with Sen. Murkowski not with challenger Miller and most likely was asked to help. What do you do for your friends when asked to help? John Cornyn's conservative view is notable. Sen. Cornyn ought to be respectfully notified with some impact of our displeasure. Perhaps directly at his North Dallas office. Certainly via email.

Looks like we need to get rid or Cornyn too. We have enough of tehse politicians trying to control things.

The citizens of Alaska have spoken--and Murkowski is out. And that is where John Cornyn and his lawyers belong: out!

This is an OUTRAGE! I've written Cornyn several times about his unwise support for the wrong candidate. He's done it time and again, and will not listen. WHY? Why doesn't he heed fellow Texans and do the right thing. He's become a RINO, which just shocks me to no end!!

IT'S TIME FOR CORNYN TO GO TOO! The RULING CLASS will make every effort to save their own! TERM LIMITS IS THE ANSWER FOR A LOT OF PROBLEMS!
LISA MURKOWSKI IS LIKE OBAMA! SHE THINKS SHE'S ENTITLED!

I will donate no more money to the RNC or the NRSC. They just do not understand that the era of imperial government is over.

We need to find a replacement for Cornyn!!!

I am not ok with John Cornyn's involvment to provide any support to Murkowski. He needs to stay out of it!

I will fax a message to Cornyn's office. It's time that our leaders in DC learn that they are not there to go against the will of the American voters. This is a primary and not something that the NRSC should be taking sides. We've already seen enough shenanigans on the left. The Republican Party Leaders need to accept that we must return to truly conservative values and support only conservatives. Incumbents are not entitled to stay in office or a place on the ballot in November!

Makes me sick but no surprise. He needs to go also. This is nothing more than the big political machines attacking the people's choice and it's corruption as usual. Time to give Cornyn his pink slip.

Totally disappointed! Looks like another incumbant bites the dust.

The NRC doesn't want to be accused of cronyism and then Cronyn does this. What happened to the "will of the people" the NRC keeps harping on? We have enough problems with Democrats and liberals mucking about with things contrary to the majority. Why doesn't Cronyn stay home and tend to his own state and help us with our own challenges right here in Texas.

I think we should give Cornyn a call or two and send some e-mails to hold him accountable.

Why is John Cornyn against 'One of the good guys'? Joe Miller is on the right track, just what Alaska and America needs. True change.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is not right. I live in texas and called his office and let them know how wrong this is. RNC is not the tea party's friend. they will under cut us every time. they are the problem along with the DNC, same progressives!! they did this in Indiana, New York and other states. sell the good people down the river and not support them! We need people in charge like Jim Demit and michelle baughman and like thinking people. what should we do, let them know how we feel at the RNC, don't give them any money RNC. sent it directly to the good candidates. cut the RNC out completely. Send back there letters and let them know, for they only under $$$$$$ money$$$$. thank you. we love American and with God's help we win this long battle P.S. listen and watch Glenn Beck. He helps ous out a lot!!

Well, John just lost my vote. He should stay out of this. This is typical Washington, trying to manipulate the vote.

We need to have a phone, letter blitz to his office in Dallas and DC. Let the locals take care of the situation.

Not OK with this situation! We need to contact Cornyn and let him know we will not stand for political game playing. His ticket is coming too and needs to decide if he's standing with us the people or the political machine. We had Enough!

I think Cornyn needs to stay out of Alaska politics and concentrate more on how to keep Obamanomic out of Texas!!!

Although I've been a Senator Cornyn fan from the first day I moved to Texas and he, unlike Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, has clearly represented our wishes well, I am very concerned about this. We need to let Cornyn know in no uncertain terms that if he wants to continue to receive support from constituents like me, he must ensure that the team he has sent does not interfere with the legitimate vote count. He must be made to understand that any unusual activity by this team will be met with a strong response that will land squarely in his lap!

At the very least, there should be Tea Party members overseeing the counting of the absentee ballots. Secondly, it should be made clear to Sen. Cornyn that this stunt will cost him dearly when he runs for re-election. The curtain has been pulled back to reveal who Cornyn really is, and we need to get rid of every one of them. The Republican Party leadership should not be trusted.

We need more conservative leadership. Joe is the more conservative of the two. We need John to support conservative leadership in all states, not just Texas.

NO!!! I sent Senator Cornyn an email explaining my confusion at his uncharacteristic move to defend someone who is not a true conservative simply because she is a Republican. Either he stands for what is right or he doesn't. No more RINO's!!!!!

AND there are plenty of great candidates waiting to take Cornyn AND Hutchison's seats, i.e. Roger Williams and Michael Williams (no relation).

I am mad as hell and I tweeted him and also the NRSC.

No and it's time for Cornyn the Conman to leave as well! AND THE PUBLICONS CAN FORGET ABOUT ANY HELP FROM ME. PERIOD.
A Native Texan something he isn't!!

No, keep hands off this election

Let the people's votes be counted and keep the partisan manipulating out of it. Senator Cornyn's turn will come soon enough!

Just another reason to get rid of most of the incumbents. It appears that they will do anything to get re elected and want the "old guard" in position.

Very disappointed in John Cornyn. we trusted him to be above the others.

I'm contacting Cornyn. I was planning on sending him some $$ but maybe not now. I'll get all my facts together and approach Mr. Cornyn. Thanks for the notification.

Let the people's votes be counted and keep the partisan manipulating out of it. Senator Cornyn's turn will come soon enough!

Cornyn strikes me as a very moderate republican who is willing to go along to get along. We need people on the conservative side that don't play games. He's been in politics too long - time for him to move out - make way for a real conservative.

Not cool. I thought better of Cornyn.

John Cornyn is asking to be booted in 2012!! I am NOT ok with this and will send an email--the only way to contact him!

Cornyn, like his cohort Kay BAILOUT Hutchison, needs to be replaced. NO MORE RINOs !

Why does she need a legal team to qualify ballots? AND why doesn't Miller have his own team to do the same?

I've already contacted Sen. Cornyn's office telling them to either help Joe Miller as well or stay the (bleep) out of the way.

I am not OK with it. I did not like it when Senator Cornyn supported Senator Spector in PA. Let us make a mental record lest we forget and deal with it in time.

I am absolutely not OK with this. John Cornyn is coming dangerously close to losing my support. He should be defending Miller not Murkowski

I have never liked or trusted Cornyn. He has always been a typical polititian and no friend to true conservatives. I believe the ballots should be counted but I'm very suspicious of ballots being "thrown out" or "found" like they have been in so many other elections. This stuff is becoming all to common and it is giving me serious doubts about our election process in recent years.

I absolutely think it's wrong of John Cornyn to get involved with Murkowski. What is he thinking?! When I have a question or a statement to either of the 2 Senators from Texas I write a letter and send it directly to their Dallas office! Don't send letters to their Wash. D.C. office - it can be weeks and weeks, if ever, before they get the letter.

John Cornyn is one of my Senators and he needs to back off. It should be obvious by now that his conservative constituents, (for the most part), are very open to new representation. I read an article or speech recently made by Senator Trent Lott. Lott seem to be worried about new blood infusing the congress and senate stating how worrisome and time consuming it will be to bring the up to speed. I took that to mean that the so called good old boys will have to take them under their wings and break them in right. Of course I'm paraphrasing what I read but it really angered me. The old boys better realize we want more conservative representation. Lisa Murkowski is not a Conservative. Wake up guys.

I BELIEVE THE VOTERS WHO HAVE SPOKEN should stand and Republican party and/or outside influence NEEDS to stay out of it... THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS I SUPPORT THE CANDICATE I'D LIKE TO SEE IN OFFICE AND NOT THE nrsc

I have already notified his office by email that he should not be helping Senator Murkowski. I've asked my wife to do the same. We all should email and call his office.

We need to tell John Cornyn to either get the hell out of the way, or demand that he give Miller the same exact amount in legal assistance. We need to do this as a CONCERTED EFFORT - we all converge ont he idiot at the same time. A rally at his office wouldn't hurt either! This is not the first time this idiot has aided a RINO and we're sick of him! BTW, I'M FROM TEXAS!!

I think that we should confront John Cornyn and ask him why the Republican party is helping Lisa Murkowski rather than Joe Miller.

I am a conservative Republican and I DO NOT support Murkowski nor do I support Cornyn providing help to a RINO.

Im not OK with it. I think its out of place for John Cornyn and the NRSC to get involved. Are they going to do this with every race that doesn't come out to their liking? I'm a John Cornyn supporter but he lost me on this one. Is this the Republican idea of less government intrusion? We have had enough intrusion in our lives the past 19 months with the Democrates. The count will be what it will be. Let Alaska take care of Alaska. I'm backing Miller on this one.

The fact that the "Good ol'boy" network is wanting to keep the status-quo is disturbing, I would hope that the good senator from Texas would two-step out of that environment and let the Alaskan voters control their future.

And if that does not send a message to the good Senator, the Tea Party should have a "Bomb" fundraising campaign for Good ol'Joe

IMHO - Harold

The NRSC should stay out of this race. Until the NRC cleans up its act, we will not make financial contributions to the Grand Old Party.

Neither the party nor the NRSC should be taking sides in a Republican Primary. Cornyn's action is a shameful display of loyalty to the incumbents' club than to the will of the electorate. Unfortunately, apparatchiks like this dominate our party machinery and simply have to go. He may generally be on the right side of substantive issues (eg McAmnesty for illegal immigrants) but not always (eg TARP). And he will have to go. Sorry, Bub, but the NSRC does not run our party our pick our candidates. So you have to go.

I have already informed the National Republican Committee that I do not support their interfering in the election in Alaska. I have told them that I am withholding all future financial support.

I have also informed our senator that I intend to support any candidate that will oppose him in the future.

As it was once said, "I wish that you are either hot or cold. But if you are luck warm I will spit you out".

There are eletist ruling class members in both parties. They must all be identified and retired.

I emailed Cornyn today and it wasn't right. I could understand if the opponent was from another party. I don't send money to RNC, we send directly to candidates. I'm beginning to believe Cornyn has no core values.

Disappointed in Cornyn. We need to clean house and not keep the status quo.

John get after it............

I think that the lawyers should leave well enough alone. If the people in that state want Mr. Miller then that is who they should get.

here is another reason why I'm not supporting the Republican party... they are throwing $$ behind someone that the majority of people in Alaska may not of voted for. He should stay out of it!

Any appearance of the committee favoring Republican candidate Murkowski over Republican candidate Miller would be yet another example of political extremism, tacit recognition of the concept that perpetuates government elitists over grass roots candidates. Hands off NRSC.Overseeing election results Gop vs Dem OK. But, in this case let the Alaskan office of elections handle the matter without your interference.

No I am not alright with this situation. So disappointed in Cornyn. I have no idea what to do about it. Another situation....received email about supporters of Obama and his agenda are going door to door Sat.Aug.28. Their job, if I understand, will be to encourge folks to vote ?????? They are meeting on Forest Hills Blvd, 75218. about 1 or 2pm?? THEY ARE ORGANIZING!!!!

No. I do not agree with the source of the aid.Let the votes be counted normally.

No I am not OK with this!

Cornyn has NO BUSINESS INTERFERING with the voters in ALASKA! He just scored an "A" on his voting record as graded by Liberty Central; he is sabotaging his own grades now! Incumbents have enough trouble of their own, so how does Cornyn have money or time to spend on Alaska! I will remember come November!

I DON'T like it. I didn't VOTE for Cornyn. He's a SLICK-myster-liar and he's been there toooooo long. I would vote for anybody but HIM even DEMOCRAT. They -Rep & Dem-are trying to keep the status-quo in. If every state would go to their capital and drag the bums out in the street and kick their ass & fire them we would have NO problem in DC. Cornyn should not of been voted back in last time. Ya think him or any of the others are listening to you.

I am very distubed the National Republican Party is sending in lawyers on Murkowski's behalf against another Republican canidate who looks to be the winner. It is up to the people to decide who they want representing them not the party bosses. So please remove these lawyers and let the state and local authorities do they job and count the votes and whoever has the most votes wins.

I am opposed to John Cornyn helping Murkowski lawyer up, and especially spending NRSA monies to do it. Maybe Cornyn needs to go. I thought he was conservative.

Mr. Cornyn,no I'm not ok with this!
The only reason I can think of that you would be assisting in Lisa Murkowski's legal effort is that the "Good Ole Boy" network is alive & well and in full swing.
I am appalled that you would take acion to help her win in spite of what the people of Alaska have chosen to do. Have you met Al Franken? This is not the way of "Texas" politics.
You had better think long and hard before you do something that could jeapordize you career.
This is not the time to be "Playing" politics.

Nope, not okay with it. I think Cornyn should stop the aid. The NRSC isn't doing constituents any favors. Also, Cornyn does have to come up for re-election himself. . .and he's a RINO already.

John Cornyn was a bought and paid for republican Texas Supreme Court justice and a bought an paid for republican U.S. Senator. He is acting for the benefit of the republican party (not My Republican party but a group of people claiming to be republican conservatives). John Cornyn is trying to kill the Tea Party message, because he is NOT a conservative, and does not represent individual liberties, is not a fiscal conservative, and will do what ever it takes to keep his version of the republican party in power. VOTE HIM OUT !

VOTE OUT ALL THE INCUMBENTS and VOTE IN TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVES !

1. ABSOLUTELY NOT!
2. I will be calling his office & emailing again! Last wk I let him know what I think about his attendance at the big Rep Log Cabin Fundraiser in DC in Sept. They have the only active lawsuit against the legislation banning LGBT's in the military & he will be at their fundraiser? What kind of perception does that give??

I am not OK with Cornyn putting his weight behind Murkowski. His weight belongs to issues in Texas. Let Alaskans decide what is best form themselves. I think a pro-life, West Point graduate, Gulf War veteran, Bronze Star recipient, lawyer sounds like an ideal Senator for Alaska - or anywhere. Cornyn needs to pay attention to his own backyard.

The situation is unacceptable. But this is nothing new, either. If we weren't in such a jam right now, I'd find all this indignance over the Federal-level campaign committees to be downright funny. Both so-called major parties have them for House and Senate. They are there to protect incumbents or support only the new folks that the "establishment" knows it can control. Them's the facts. To JayTea at 12:14:46: Wise up. The stuff about third parties causing liberal victories in elections has been exposed as an urban myth long ago, and is now used as a propaganda tool by the GOP to keep everybody on the reservation. Also, this: Go to the bookstore. Get "Primary Mistake" by Steve Laffey and see how the GOP especially uses the Campaign Committee construct as a weapon. Those of you who think you can clean up the GOP are sadly mistaken. You all have the power RIGHT NOW to establish another successful party, but won't. It's tragic. I'll keep working to help the Constitution Party, thanks.

NOT ok. This is yet another example that he republican party is not all that different from the dems. Politics, favors, friends over the will of the people.

1. ABSOLUTELY NOT!
2. I will be calling & emailing him again like I did last week re: his attendance at Rep Log Cabin fundraiser event in DC next month. They are the only group w/an active lawsuit against original legislation banning LGBT's from the military & he is going to be at their fundraiser?! What kind of perception does that give? Not one that I want to be affiliated with! While you are at it - call him about that too! ;)

I have voted for Cornyn because I believed that he was independent from Repub. elitist, which are responsible for squandering the inheritance of the Reagan legacy that belongs to the people, not professional politicians. Henceforth by trying to help "Good Ole Girl"Murkowskey, and extension of her father by appt.would only extend more corruption in Alaska.
We need to break up "organized politics"as the only difference between it and "organized crime"the side of the "bars" they are on. When this is so blatant, we need to do what the founders gave us the power to on Nov. 2nd - throw them all out and start over again. We can't do any worse than the status quo they offer or the "monopolistic bureaucratic self greasing system" that they have engineered for their own benefit and not ours. Professional politicians are the greatest threat to our liberty, sovereignty and country - bar none.
Term limits, balanced bidget amendments to Const. and outlaw "anchor babies" by legislation.

No Im not ok, cornyn is a asshole who is more pro business than people. he should go with what the people in Alaska want. I didnt vote for cornyn and won't again. we need someone new.

I'd like to hear from John that his reasoning is to assure a fair count and not some political payback !We want ot hear from the voter's of Alaska. This is the rule of Law.

Only if the NRSC is making sure that the counts are being done fairly. I don't want to see an "Al Franken" repeat. Past that, once the votes decide who the winner is, then - and only then - should the NRSC be "lending help" to support the voters' choice.

I'm not ok with it and we need to let Sen. Cornyn know how unhappy we are about this.....

This is like wasting Republican funds on topless bars! Support from the NRSC should be directed toward the winner, not directed toward manipulating ballot counts for either side!

I am not Ok with this. It appears our votes do not matter if it does not go in the favor of the established parties. I am sick of all this power and corruption. They are demeaning our voting process. Getting to be like third world countries

Tell Coyran that he gets of the case we will not spport hime when he is faced with relection. Im tired of the same senior senators trying to maintain the power base.Stay the hell out of Alaska's business

Cornyn should stay out of it. Let the chips fall as they may.

John Cornyn needs to butt out and when the absentee ballots are counted and if she loses, Murkowski needs to accept her defeat. John Cornyn needs to be contacted and told to back off.

John: Keep yout lawyers out of Alaska. We Republicans don't need "hanging chads" to be used against us by the Dems.

Tell John Cornyn to stay out of Alaskan politics. Lisa Murkowski is a RINO. Didn't Sarah Palin beat a Murkowski for Governor? That ought to tell you something.

I was a long-time donor to all of these Republican organizations, but nothing since 2004. Don't give them a penny. And if we have to, bring up serious opposition to those like Cornyn in the future.

It is not O.K. My letter to Cornyn is already on it's way. This is just one more reason not to donate to the Rep. party, but rather to specific candidates.

NRSC shouldn't be promoting one candidate in the primaries. They may argue that they need to ensure the candidate with the best chance of defeating the "Dims" is on the ballot. Perhaps phone calls & letters to Sen. Cornyn from enough TX residents would get the message to him to stop. He'll need to be reelected, too.

I am not Ok with this. Miller needs to defeat the incumbent and Cornyn needs to go at the end of his term.

I agree with criticism about Cornyn actions and he needs to be told.
Also believe Alaska has received more than its fair share of handouts and should now stand on it own.
We have become a 3rd world country when it comes to our election process. We used to let the outcome be determined by counting ballots but now we have to resort to all types of vote counting manuvers that we criticized third world countries about for so long. Guess the next step will be to invite election observers from Mexico to critique our election process.
We had better wake up and quit trying to game the election system.

Sounds like Cornyn and the NRSC are trying to out democrat the democrats. How many times have we seen the dems mount re-count after re-count until they get the result they want? Al Frankin comes to mind. Cornyn, and Hutchison, need to go but, it's tough beating an incumbent. We need to look around the state for decent representatives who will challenge them and start working for them now. The election this November needs to be only the beginning of the struggle to take our country back.

We don't need any Al Frankens or their ilk in this party !This is shameful and just goes to show how out of touch with the people the RNSC is.

Even before this situation I have asked all of my reps, Cornyn, Hutchinson and Marchant to step aside and let conservative patriots run in their place as they have not been loud and strong enough concerning the very issues that are ruining the people and culture in America.

Not ok with it at all. We the people have made our statement and we want a CONSERVATIVE Republican not another RINO.

Thanks for the info. Yet another example that, while there is no difference between a democrat and a liberal (a great strength of our enemy), there is a HUGE difference between a republican and a conservative (unfortunately). That needs to be fixed. Cornyn's objection to the conservative defeating the republican shows us his true colors. He needs to be told loud and clear that we do not appreciate, and will remember, his meddling, shameful duplicity.

Here's what I sent to Cornyn Thursday night:

Senator Cornyn,
I'm passing this along so that you know that we do not support your backing of Sen. Murkowski (RINO), against such a stellar conservative, West Point grad, war hero (Bronze Star recipient), Yale Law and a fellow Judge, Joe Miller who stands to win and help start a change in the Senate. I hope you're sending Mr. Sean Cairncross to ensure that BOTH sides are evenly represented and that the count of the absentee ballots doesn't result in a Stuart Smalley (Franken) type win in MN.

Thank you of all you do, but realize that we are taking serious issue with the same ol' way of doing things in Washington and we are determined to bring this country back to it's founding roots.

Disappointed in Cornyn. What I would really like is for the Senate to get back to representing the state government they are from and stay out of the business of another state

I am not OK with this. John Cornyn needs to keep his nose out of it. I am not sure this rises to the level of him needing to be targeted for anything more than criticism for doing so.

Mr. Cornyn,
Let Ms. Murkowski fight her own battles. You are acting as if this were an "ol' boy's club". You are not in Alaska! You represent Texas keep it that way. Let the Alaskan's handle their own.

NO, The NRSC is way out of bounds on this! A Republican won the election, and I'll never support the NRSC, period!

I called John Cornyn's Dallas office yesterday and left a message regarding my lack of support of the NRSC. I couldn't get through to a real person because the lines were all busy.

Everyone email Cornyn and tell him we will replace him next, and support
Joe Miller. We don't want rino Cornyn

Thanks for the heads up. No, I'm not ok with John Cornyn sending legal assistance to Lisa Murkowski. It looks like she lost the election fair and square. Sure, all ballots should be counted, but let them work it out in Alaska. The Tea Party exists today in part because of this kind of stuff. People get to Washington and think they are entitled to be there forever. They forget about the people they work for. We can send John Cornyn packing, too.

No, I'm not OK and this is not the first time the NRSC has made decisions to spend money in this way.

Of course, they are no longer spending MY money and have not been for a number of years now. And every time they ask for some, I send back their envelope with a note telling them -- again -- why it is empty. They don't get the message.

Cornyn & the NRSC are free to support whoever and we are free to support Miller and oppose Cornyn in his next primary, if we get a better candidate.

I am very uncomfortable with Cornyn, and this episode reinforces my belief that he is nothing more than another two bit politician using the name "Republican" to get elected. He favors the political establishment, not priciples of liberty and free markets. In my opinion we should start looking for candidates that can challenge both him and Hutchinson.

I think this confirms that we need to boot-out all incumbents in November.

I called Cornyn's DC office yesterday and the man that ansewered the phone refused to take a message concerning this issue. After remiinding him that Cornyn was elected by us in Texas and that we could also refuse to re-elect him next time in the primaries he hung up on us.

We have to vote all incumbements out of office if we are ever going to change this country and get it back on the right path. We need to do that over the next 6 years and do it at the primaries, not the general election in November.

We can start now by filling his e-mail box with our discust with his actions.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT O.K. WITH CORNYN'S MEDDLING AND HE SHOULD STOP. IT'S JUST ANOTHER INDICATION OF JUST HOW FAR OUT OF TOUCH THE GOP REALLY IS!

Not OK with with it. Will be writing my or to Senator to let him know to stay out of the race.

I am NOT okay with this. Tell John to take care of Texas and MYOB!

John should know better than to take a position against his own party. John, get with the program or get voted out. If Lisa can't win in her own state, she should not be in washingtion due to legal
(illegal)acts.

No, I am not ok with this. Sen Cornyn should save this for when Repubublicans are ahead and Dems want to overturn the results. Do not use this against Republicans in the primaries. Let the people have their say and leave it at that.

This should not happen. The peoples voice should be heard and not lawyers. This changes my opinion of Mr Cornyn.

Our elected representatives need to learn that these are elections "by the people" and, regardless of how the count turns out, it's what "we the people" want. Whether Miller wins or Murkowski wins, the people have spoken.

The 'national' level organization must stand back and allow the citizens of the State of Alaska to resolve any differences that may have resulted from this primary vote.

Let all ballots be counted Keep lawyers out of the voters choice.
End of story!

While John Cornyn is on of my favorite people and a man for whom I have great respect I think he and the NRSC should butt out of this race.

Ken

I've already fired Cornyn 3 times due to his globalist policies...he barely pulls out just in the nick of time, it always seems, but I've had it. He's gone in November.

Senator Cornyn,
If this is accurate, your legal assistance subverts the electoral process. I understand this is "custom and tradition" but frankly is an action that splits the party at a time when conservatives should be working together. Bottom line, butt out of this election and let the voters instead of the lawyers decide for a "change I can believe in".
Thanks!

John,Stay out of it or you will lose the tea party backing

Not ok with it. This is exactly what is wrong with the Republican Parties Rhino's. One only needs to ask themselves why would they oppose the Conservative candidate for the for her my guess she leans a tad more to left of center and can be counted on to follow their same old agendas

The Republican leadership needs to be removed and replaced with Tea Party Conservatives. Cornyn is all hat and no cattle.

I thought J. Cornyn was conservative...another Washingtonite who needs no votes from true conservatives in the next election.

I've already emailed the Senator expressing my displeasure.

I think the votes should be counted but the NRSC souldn't favor one over the other

I am not OK with this situation. Not sure what can be done, but I am not happy with Cornyn and I intend to let him know he will GO next! They work for us and it's time they let us make the decisions on who gets the job!

I am not okay with it and it makes me wonder if they are trying to manipulate the election. Just count the votes and support the winner.

I don't blame Murkowski for doing what she can to win, but I am sick and tired of the Republican establishment protecting their own. John Cornyn doesn't care about setting this country strait. Term limits are the answer to these power hungry buerocrats.

It is important that candidates can have the right to prove the veracity of the vote. That said, this sounds eerily Al Franken-ish. Especially when she is indicating that even if she loses the primary, she will run as an Independant. This is all about her and not our Country. I am sure she will not at that point return any Republican money she has collected so far. I'm very weary of lawyers creating election outcomes out of thin air. And I'm tired of the DNC and RNC politics that continue to perpetuate the same 'good ol boy' system and leftist leadership that is systematically destroying our Constitution and Freedoms. We have already contacted Cornyn's office and his committee with our displeasure.

I could understand the NRSC supporting a fair count against a Democrat--but this is the primary. Let the people decide, not Washington!

I believe this guy and several more Rhino Republicans need to go! I am not sure why the American people voted for him again anyhow. It's time they listen to the American People and we speak through votes! I am all for a Town Hall and would be happy to help and get my members to come. We really have no time to waste here. The American People need to get serious now!

I recognized the jerk's true colors years ago. He is part of the problem. I will visit his office Monday morning and ask that he and his RINO cronies butt out of the Alaska election.

Sent Cornyn an email telling him what I think of him and NRSC. He and his kind need to go, that's why we need term limits.

Looks as though John is part of the GOOD OLD BOY Washington club, that believes that new blood in Washington is conterproductive. He has no business in Alaskan politics!! He needs to focus on CUTTING government and the spending that has gone ballistic. I don't know Lisa's voting record, but the folks in Alaska do and they are trying to vote her out. They have the say and carpet baggers, like Cornyn, need to keep their noses out of it.

It looks as if are misguided Tx. senator is at it again, first backing Gov. Christ in Flda. for senator and look what happened there, he is now trying to get his money back after Christ turned Independent when faced with a strong challenge from another conservative candidate, Marco Rubio, its time for Cornyn to relinquish his position as senate re-election commitiee leader, and when he comes up for election Texans need to retire his foolish butt!!!!11!!!111!1

I believe Murkowsi is a RINO and hope Miller is victorious. I sent an email to Senator Cornyn because I think he is interfering unnecessarily.

This is the reason I am selective with who I give my donations.

Hey, i would rather have the much more fiscal conservative (joe) win the deal -- but we CANNOT subvert the democratic process -- those votes must be counted and counted carefully. what's wrong with counting them!?!?!??!? ultimately, we should install the senator who won the race -- regardless of our own position. Let's not succumb to liberal tactics, but hold the higher ground!

senator who is paying for all this leagel help ? could it possibly be us the tax payers ? this is why the republican party needs to be cleaned out.

We are absolutely not OK with this situation!! NO more RINO's!!!! You need to let Cornyn hear from you NOW and to butt out!!

I only support those who support
the TEA PARTY.

This is the last time the republican national committee is getting a penny from me. Why waste your money on attacking our tea party. Those funds should be used to bet democrat.

This scenario illustrates with great clarity the continuing disconnect between professional(career) politicians and the leaders we desperately need at this time. As grassroots proponents of a restoration of Constitutional government in the United States we can't allow our energy to be co-opted by slick politicians who put their interests above what is best for the Nation as a whole. I heard the NRSC described as being more focused on incumbents than on getting the best candidate elected. In other words they are working to extend "business as usual" in Washington DC. I become more convinced every week that the Republican establishment didn't get the message in 2006 and 2008. I am concerned about results not tenure but I don't think Senator Cornyn and the leadership of the Republican party share my concerns. I am afraid we are asking a leopard to change his spots.

No, I am not okay with this. I will be sending a personal email to John Cornyn stating that, because of his action on this matter, he will not be getting my vote on election day. P.S. I wasn't going to vote for him anyway.

Cornyn should not be interfering in Alaskan elections !!!
Murkowski or Miller should win on their own merits. I am SICK of Lawyers!! Cornyn...continue at your own political peril !!!

Please do not rule against peoples choice. It is a shame

I overall like/support Cornyn, but I don't like his meddling in Alaska's politics with lawyers. It makes him look willing to use corruption to get things done. The thing that needs to be done is to somehow slap Cornyns face on the matter and let him know that we are watching and what this looks like to us - an unethical Franken move.

NO! The NRSC should not be involved
with Alaska's Republican votes.

This is simply one more reason why Cornyn should be opposed and defeated in his next primary race. It also re-enforces the argument for not contributing to the Republican Party - give only to candidates. Way to go John!

Senator Cornyn is proving again and again just how opportunistic he is. It is a shame that in the great state of Texas, one of our Senators is undermining the will of the people who are only seeking to restore constitutional sanity to our government! What should we do? We should recruit and run a true conservative candidate to defeat John Cornyn in the Republican Primary the next time he is up for election. I can say for certain that Senator Cornyn has lost my vote by virtue of these actions. I will never vote for a Democrat, or for a 3rd party candidate. But if Senator Cornyn is on the ballot the next time his seat comes open, I will merely not vote at all.

Our Senators must hear in no uncertain terms that we have a zero tolerance policy for this sort of devious and unacceptable behavior. So, within the boundaries of law and ethical/honorable conduct, we should do all we can to resist Senator Cornyn so he doesn't see another term as a US Senator.

All sitting Senators have access to this function of the Republican Party. I do not feel it should be a debated point on whether the party is abandoning conservative values by fullfilling an obligation. There is enough sniping going on with now Miller's camp tweeting about Murkowski running as a Libertarian if she loses and comparing that to "the oldest profession." Murkowski should have been behind further in the votes as a result of a voting record that does not always hold true to Alaskan voter's wishes or beliefs. While I support Sarah Palin, I have to wonder if this is more about a long standing feud/rif/competition between Palin and Murkowski than core Republican values.

I agree, Cornyn has shown by his actions that he is status quo. My suggestion is that we start showing those in office, that after they have served either two or maybe three terms at most that we are going to elect a new official. Period....2012 and beyond.

Of course I'm not okay with it. It's business as usual. Quite frankly, anyone who feels that wasting more taxpayer dollars on a "team of lawyers" to "qualify" votes cast for the incumbent and "disqualify" votes for the contender (or vice-versa) is either a moron or part of our corrupt political system. If we need to "qualify/disqualify" votes to get to the truth then how about we fix the system that enables questionable votes to be cast in the first place. Nah, that makes sense, better that we trust the system and a bunch of lawyers to TELL us what the TRUTH is. Wake up people!

John Cornyn is our senator and we are so ready to get rid of him. We wish he were up for re-election this year. Believe me, as conservative Republicans, my husband and I are going to do as much as possible to see that a true conservative runs against him in his next primary and then gets elected. RINOs don't sit well with Texas conservatives.

These type of actions are the reason I no longer contribute to the National Republicans.

Cornyn needs to stay with Texas Politics and let the Alaskan do their own thing. Obviously John is not in sync with Sarah Palin and that is a concern to me. Is he looking to keep Washington , DC status quo, or is he ready to fight for OUR RIGHTS and not his political cronies. Time for the 28th Amendment to be enacted. C.

I'm not OK with it. Being sick of incumbents in general, I'm also in favor of an honest count. But with lawyers, especially those hired by incumbents, review the ballots, there's no way to suspect anything other than a tainted qualification/disqualification process.

The fact that it's being done by Republicans is an embarrassment to me.

I am in favor of Joe Miller and I don't think the money from NRSC should go to Murkowski.

I am NOT "okay with this"!!!
I have written to Senator Cornyn, and the NRSC and GOP-USA and everybody I can think of, to say: "why is the GOP doing battle with its Conservative Grassroots base?" Furthermore, I told them "this is why I do not give donations to the GOP, I choose to donate directly to fiscal conservatives in various states!"
Suggest you send like messages.

I went to Busch Gardens in Tampa the Day they presented their All New Baby "White RINO".
It looked just like John Cornyn - My(?)Senator from TX

It sounds like we are coming close to endorsing one candidate over another. While i think it is disgusting what Cornyn is doing, and I will gladly send him back home to Texas when his term is up, I think we should stay out of it, and just deal with him and his ilk, and the NRSC, in due time.

Tell John and the NRSC to "butt out!" I am in the process of accepting a tranfer to the MN office of my company, so-- unhappily-- this will be the last time I get to vote in TX for a while. (What pains me is that Al "Frankenstien" will be my Senator. What cheers me is that Michelle Bachmannn will be my Congesswoman.) Speaking of Franken, the AK situation invites the "stunts" pulled by the his campaign and the State DFL (Democrat) Party. As recently as a couple of months ago it was "discovered" that over 1000 convicted (e.g. disqualified)felons were allowed to vote... I wonder for whom? That on top of the all those who voted from the graveyards ("Landslide Lydndon!"), and multiple vote casters, etc. Let the locals sort this one out without the National Republicans taking sides!!!

John Cornyn needs to be reminded that we WANT Conservatives to represent us in the Senate -- NOT Progressives. Joe Miller is a Republican Conservative. He should do what the people want -- not what he or the Republican Party want. We will remember this when his re-election comes up -- that he picked and chose instead of what the people of Alaska wanted.

I am so disappointed in John Cornyn, after I finish posting here, I'm going to tell Sen. Cornyn as well.

NO! and I have just placed John Cornyn on the remove list!

I like John Cornyn;however, sometimes he wanders off the reservation! Far off!!!

very simply, everybody who is offended by NRSC knowing better than the AK voters, should write/call Sen. Cornyn and give him guidance-these elitist attitudes are wearing thin with us stupid people

Why in the world would the NRSC work to defeat a true conservative candidate? I am disgusted by this attempt to come to the aid of another RINO!

I understand that the candidates have the option of requesting NRSC legal aid if they think they need it. Cornyn may be honoring a request from Murkowski under NRSC rules. If all is done on the up-and-up, and no Al Franken type of cheating goes on, I guess it's fair. But if anything extraordinary occurs that has the taint of electoral corruption, then John Cornyn needs to pay the price in the end.

not ok. cornyn needs to go...he is just a RINO

To me, this is exactly what we are fighting against. The game being played the way it has always been played. The time, effort and money being dedicated to ensure the future of a sitting Senator over what appears to be a vote for change is a distraction from more pressing matters.

I am disgusted with Cornyn and the RINOS. They should get the heck out of the way. Tea Partiers should make clear to the Republican Party that they will have our support when their candidates are true conservatives; otherwise they will get NO support.

What is this "BS" from Cornyn & his "merry band of (R) Commy Lite Crooks" think they'er doing? Trying to immitate their cohorts in Political Crime the (D's), to recreate the infamous "ACORN" group in plotting and getting the "unseen/uncounted" vote for their GUY/GIRL? I think so! Don't these over blown wore out FOOLS think that its only Democrats the American Electorant wants tossed out? That's RIGHT... We want all useless incumbents tossed out like the common trash that they are, because like Glenn Beck recently said: "I don't see a whole lot of difference between the (D's) & the (R's) !! We want you out too Cornyn !! Hungh, seems funny how the name similitude of both your corrupt names represent: A-"CORN" & "CORN"-YN..... Way too close there for me !!! You 'wertched' bunch of career politicians "ARE" the problem in Government! Your just too BLIND to see it! "OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW".....

If Cornyn allows ANY shenanigans with counting only the legitimate votes, then defund him if necessary, and vote him OUT the next election; otherwise SUPPORT him if this keeps legitimate votes counted.

I've never felt strongly for either of our Senators. Just "Club Members" in my estimation. Neither will get my vote when they run again.

The National Republic Committee needs to stay out of it! Let the Alaska voters handle it. If the people of Alaska voted for Joe Miller than they have spoken, and we need to accept that they KNOW what is best for them and their state. The people have spoken!

This is precisely why I do not give to any party's national organization or even county party organizations. I am sick of the good ole' boy (girl) network. I only give to individual candidates. This is another Dee Dee Scosavava deal using donor money to thwart the will of the people and make it secondary to the Party bosses opinion.

It appears Cornyn is part of the political establishment. I am happy with his conservative voting record but disappointed in this intervention against a conservative candidate. We need to press John Cornyn with phone calls and emails to remain an observer during the absentee count and make sure there are no shenanigans. I understand there were 20K absentee ballots mailed out and only 7500 returned. Any found ballots above 7500 are suspect. Senator Cornyn will lose much credibility if this happens. Lisa's jaws were tense when she said she will not go away. It would not surprise me if she went Independent joining Charley Crist when the votes are counted.

Why are they so concerned about protecting the Murkowski? Don't they realize the goodness of Miller and the conservative values he has? It seems like we have to fight every step of the way. Enough of the RINOs. Cornyn will have egg on his face if she decides to go Democratic or Independent. Ha

I was enraged when Cornyn backed Crist over Rubio, wouldn't back Toomey until Ridge decided he wasn't running and now THIS! I will help anyone who is a TRUE conservative campaign AGAINST Cornyn! I'm tried of RINOS, especially in TEXAS!!!

No Way! Looks like the incumbents are helping the incumbents -- they'd better all be careful of their actions...come November. Who will pick and choose what absentee votes will or will not count? Lawyers??? UGH

I am not ok with it. John Cornyn should be told that he too can be voted out of office. He should leave Alaska to Alaska voters and worry about his own hide in Texas.

Sen. Cornyn as much as I admire your service in TX I would ask you please do nothing to assist Lisa Mrkowski to remain in political office as an appointee of her father. Each candidate should be elected on their own merits rather than family ties. That's how DC got so screwed up to begin with. I'm also a strong advocate of term limits for ALL elected offices.

My stance this year has been, "I back candidates, not parties." If this situation is true and John Cornyn is a principal in it, then the NRSC will get no help. There is no place for a "good 'ol boy" club in politics anymore. Regardless, it is not the job of party officials to assist in Primary elections. If we allow politics as usual based on anything other than principles, the we deserve what we get. Show me the proof first.

This is the type of hypocrisy that drives me crazy. I'm a Texan and am deeply bothered by Sen. Cornyn's actions. I have discontinued giving donations to the Republican state and natioal organizations for this very reason. Many Republican leaders pay lip service to conservative principles, but act like Democrats when it's convenient or personally beneficial to do so. I now think term limits are necessary. The longer politicians stay in Washington, the more they act as if they know better than the rest of us what's good for the Country as a whole, the more they act like the "ruling elite". I plan to support individual candidates from now on, and I seem to be increasingly Independent. Sen Cornyn and his ilk should have waited for the absentee and early ballots to be counted and had strong evidence of a problem before acting.

let the choice play out, stop interferring.

The NRSC is part and parcel of what is wrong. YOU'RE NOT LISTENING GOP !!!! We're sick and tired of the good ole boy syndrome continuing as usual. CHANGE DIRECTIONS OR LOSE YOUR VOTER SUPPORT. I've been a GOP supporter for all my adult life but not any more if this line of same ole, same ole continues. Stand for basic conservative values or get out of the way for those coming up who do !! That's where the vote is going !! Change or face the routing of your voter support financially as well as at the ballot box. New blood without ties to the same failing policies that have been the status quo. Out with anyone who is an incumbant unless CHANGE of attitude and voting behavior happen LIKE NOW !!!

Protecting the establishment republican Senator. We must email, call and let Senator Cornyn know that this is the peoples election and not the NRSC'S ELECTION TO RIG... Perhaps Senator Cornyn should be replaced in the future.

Just let that cottin-pikin race play out ALL on its own!! We DON'T need for someone or somebodies to MESS W/ IT @ all!!! guess some of our monies need to be w/held until they LEARN!!!!
JPB (Jim in Grand Prairie)

NO not at all happy with Cornyn,
Read WSJ interview with DeMint for more Cornyn tricks.

No, I am not okay with Sen. John Cornyn's involvement in this issue. He needs to mind his own business for his own state and the indvidual people in indvidual states speak and vote for themselves.

We all know that The Political Party should not get involved in PRIMARY elections. By sending aid to Markowski, John Cornyn violated this traditional rule. John Cornyn should be censured for doing so, and his actions should be condemned by Texas Republicans. He should have to answer for this to his party constituents.

No! I am not OK with it. I do not think the NRSC funds should be used to help Murkowski. This is why I stopped sending money to the NRSC. The next time Cornyn is up for election I will think twice about voting for him.

June Redford-Range

certainly not ok.

1. No, it's not OK.
2. I'll write Cornyn's office and stay open to other suggestions to pressure him to not interfere with the election process. If the AK vote needs further counting or a recount, Alaska should do it cleanly and fairly. Non-Alaskans should do more than send observers (if they have questions) and sitting Senators shouldn%u2019t take sides against voters in another State by helping one candidate lawyer-up.
Is it possible to get all disputed ballots digitized and placed online so that the greater public can judge for themselves, and hold officials accountable?

This may be a legal requirement in the bylaws of the NRSC. If so, Cornyn has no choice but to look at the legal issues involved.

I don't think it is a good idea because it shows that the Republicans are doing the same thing the Democrats are doing: ignoring the people! Sure, there should be an honest acurate count, but don't bully the people by adding "legal effort" in qualifying or disqualifying; why does it have to be so complicated?!?

I think that John Cornyn once again showed that he is no real conservative. Basically, he is a "finger to the wind" RINO. He certainly is no one the Tea Party should support. We should be actively seeking out a real conservative to run for his seat when it next comes up for election.

I am NOT ok with this. Cornyn should stay out of this until we suspect Murkowski of cheating. Then I expect him to do his job. The votes need to be counted so the people can elect whomever they chose, not who is chosen for them!!

I am NOT ok with this. I've called his office and gave his staff an earful! I hope he gets the message.

I am not happy with this situation- thanks for letting us know.

My Senator, John Cornyn, had best tread very lightly in this situation. It is just fine to have observers to verify a proper count, but the RNC will be way out of line backing any law suit, or challenge. The people of Alaska have spoken. Let the absentee ballots be counted, and the election decided. If Miller has won, the RNC needs to fall right in line, and support the "will of the people". No ifs, ands, or buts. I DO have a problem with out of state politicians intruding into another states election, but these are extraordinary times. I've sent not a penny to the RNC, but have donated to conservative candidates in other states, not trusting the RNC to allocate my small contribution properly. Let this election play out as it will. Much is at stake in the upcoming election.

To expend Republican Party money to help save Sen. Murkowski from defeat in a Republican primary is a perversion of the NRSC%u2019s mission. The NRSC should let the Alaskan Republican primary be decided; then vigorously support the winner. The NRSC expending funds in a Republican primary is so wrong. Please stop it!



This must stop and can not be explained as a "retention policy." The NRSC%u2019s mission is to support Republican candidates %u2013 Not try to manipulate the Republican primary process. A major issue facing the Republican Party is %u201CRepublicans in name only%u201D (RINO) and spending ourselves to continued destroying ourselves is insane. If Sean Cairncross pulls an "ACORN" and thwarts the efforts of Alaska to replace Sen. Murkowski with a true constitutional conservative, he and the NRSC should be condemned and not applauded. Sen. Murkowski is a RINO and Alaska is trying to fix that.

No, I am not OK with this. Count the ballots and keep the Republican Party lawyers out of it.

We need to contact John Cornyn and help to help Joe Miller to fund his own lawyers.

NO money to the Republican Party!!!

Joe Miller is the true conservative in that race. If Cornyn uses the old Gore tactic to take the election from him, there will be a backlash. This type of behavior is what has the country steeped in leftist-made disasters; the RINOs are just as guilty as Obama, if not more.

I truly beleive that career politicians such as Mr. Cornyn have lost thier way. We should all be happy that new patriots are willing to challenge the status quo. This act is symbolic of the problems facing our nation, that being, politician's are more concerned about their position than the will of people. I hope and pray that November will be a turnning point in this nation's history. That the people entering the house, senate and other public offices are be committed to our country and not the health of their own wallets. And above all show the respect that our service men and women deserve. Without them this nation will fall. We should all take the time to discuss the state of our country to family , freinds and to anyone who will listen about the direction that we are headed. Thank you for given me this opportunity to express my concern's. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Washington needs to stay out- Let the votes be counted. The NRSC needs to support the People's choice, which in this case doesn't appear to be the incumbent.

I would be %u201Cok%u201D with Sen. Cornyn and the NRSC helping to oversee the count if this were different parties counting a very close race. However, I'm sure the conservative people in Alaska are capable of counting the last votes and don't need the NRSC butting in on their business. In my opinion, it makes Ms. Murkowski look suspicious and unwilling to go along w/ what her state voted. Once again it looks like an incumbent that is out of touch with their constituency & is willing to give the party a black eye if it means she wins. I would be really upset if other reps from other states were nosing into Texas business!! If she wins, fairly with no "funny counting", then congrats and hope that she does a good job. I also hope they all come out with clean hands...

I think that he ought to leave it alone and let the people decide. Save the lawyer money for when we run against the democrats and have to deal with Obama lawyers & recounts!

I do not think the NRSC should get involved and I think Cornyn needs to know we don't like this.

I think we need a protest rally at the Cornyn office.

The vote should stand as it was counted. John Cornyn and the National Republican Senatorial Committee should stay out of the decision.

Cornyn has a record NOW of picking losers! He needs to team up with Jim DeMint NOW - before it is too late! Cornyn's RHINOS are a disaster in waiting for the Republicans - and the United States of America.

I think any Republican candidate can ask for legal assistance. Joe Miller could ask for the same help. Wouldn't that just highlight the situation? We need to let Cornyn know how we feel about this

We're Texans, let's remind John Cornyn who he works for....

No, unless you want her to lose because most if not all of those he has supported have lost. He may say he is conservative but his actions are otherwise. Ane he's my senator!

Let the locals do it by the book. There is no need for the Republican Committee to be there, besides to monitor. This is why they too are being booted from office.

Lawyers should play NO part in the vote count. Murkowski is a RHINO and should not get any support from the GOP. If she had upheld the party values she would not beb in the situtation she finds herself. Senator Cornyn needs to sit down and shut up. We need to watch the vote count very closely because as Vladimir Lenin said "It's not the person who casts the ballot that determines the outcome. It's the person who counts the ballots that determines the outcome.

I'm NOT ok with this..What's wrong with John Cornyn? I thought he had more Texas Smart than this.....

No, I am not OK with this. Enough is enough! Out with the old.
I'll be interested in who is running agaist Mr. Cornyn in Texas.

The NRSC should stay out of the state political situation and let it resolve itself. She apparently has enough money since out spent Joe Miller in the election. No assistants should be afford either candidate.

Mr. Cornyn should not touch this situation, since it is only the first of many upsets that we'll see this season. The teaparty movement is stronger than Mr Cornyn's reelection warchest.

Definitely NO! We need to send a message to the Republicans that we will vote them out also when they veer from conservative standards. I myself have refused to contribute to the Republican party, advising them I will be financially supporting those candidates to are true conservatives, not sending my money to them to do the very thing John Cornyn is now doing. I want my money to support the candidates I approve - not those that the party machine approves. The Republicans need to get the message, same as the Democrats. TIME TO RETURN TO AMERICAN VALUES AND TRUE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES!

Cornyn should step aside and let the people's vote be heard. It was fought fairly in the gop primary. No need to involve lawyers/politician who are not in touch with the American people.

No, I do not think this is ok.John Cornyn should stay out of it and be glad that a good republican won. Some people are just sore losers. She should face up to the fact that most people of their state prefer Joe Miller and be happy for him. She is not the conservative she claims to be!!!

CORNYN IS PART OF THE RULING ELETE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DISLODGE FROM OUR GOVERNMENT. HE HAS GOT TO GO. HE DOES NOT CARE WHAT THE ELECTORATE WANTS. HE IS DOING WHAT HIS BOSSES TELL HIM TO DO.

NRSC is a political organization and is largely an incumbent protection system. The NRSC solicits contributions from Republicans nationwide and also gets contributions from existing GOP Senators campaign accounts. Lisa Murkowski is a member of the "club".

The challenge for the NRSC and indeed the entire RNC is exhibiting the right judgment to know when they are on the wrong side of an issue and when to help facilitate a change in incumbency. Failing to make the proper decision will catch up to the RNC in the long run.

In my opinion, John Cornyn is making one of those judgment errors right now by supporting Sen. Murkowski with this kind of funded legal help. Sen. Murkowski is certainly entitled to legal representation but it should come from her campaign directly.

I am not OK and have written the extinguished Senator from Texas to let him know I'd rather give power to the Democrats than to the RINOs

I think independent people should count absentee ballots. She should not be allowed to have legal representation there unless her opponent does the same thing. I do not believe the Republican committee and John Cornyn should be involved at all. There is too much of the status quo in Washington, which continue to hold Americans hostage to greed, corruption, disregard for the wishes of the majority of Americans, and spending us into bankruptcy and 3rd world status.

NO I am NOT ok with John Cornyn sending lawyer 'Help $' to the incumbunt of Alaska! Stay out of the Alaska's CITIZEN"S business Mr. Cornyn! You have your plate full of your own issues(THE BOARDER FOR ONE!) with the citizens of TEXAS wanting you to DO YOUR JOB HERE! WE are watching you and will vote! Your actions have consequenses!
This is EXACTLY why I never give money to the RNC! In fact I think I will be sending a check to Mr. Miller today! FAIR ELECTIONS!!
So, let's all spread the word, call Cornyns office and support Miller!

Cornyn should let the Alaskan people choose their person and keep his business for Texas only. Vote him out as well.

I'm from Texas and I can't wait to vote this loser out. It didn't take much for him to show just what he is really all about. Murkowski is a rino, at best. Birds of a feather, flock together.

1. Cornyn needs to be re-reminded and warned he's being watched and actions have consequences!

Apprise him: "support a RINO, you are a RINO. We're tired of having to choose between the lesser of two evils"!

2. Contributions to his NRSC should be halted.

Cornyn stay out of it.

Do we really need to send lawyers in to determine elections? What next, oh how about let's have open ballots and voter unions. Let the votes be counted. If the old Republican guard can't change, vote 'em out. When Lawyers get involved, one group wins -- lawyers. Cornyn needs to re-think his position, he is a representative of the Texas people and has generally done a good job. Let Alaskans figure this out by themselves.

Perhaps this is the straw that will break the camel's back. He is part & parcel of the Repubs we have to vote out of office!

Let nature take its course without outside interference. It will be a disaster if it looks like "the machine" stole the election. that means, stay out of it.

Back off John. Let's keep out of Alaska's business.

Senator Cornyn seems to be ignoring the low conservative score of Mr. Millers opponent. He is guilty of cronyism of the worst kind. Shame on him.

I do not approve NRSC Action or Cornym.

NO we are not ok with it. Leave it be. That is behaving like a child and throwing an expensive tantrum when that money can be used for greater issues.

Its important that the votes in Alaska be counted accurately. To the extent the NRSC attorneys contribute to this effort I'm for it. If they demonstrate ANY bias toward either candidate it would be wrong. As much as I'd like to see Murkowksi replaced by a more conservative candidate we have to maintain the integrity of the ballot process.

John Cornyn is a RINO middle-of-the-roader, out of whom one can seldom get a straight answer on any issue. Believe me, I have tried repeatedly. He is backing the more liberal of the two candidates, the one more removed from tea party values. I think it's time to replace Cornyn with a true conservative. In the meanwhile, his office should be FLOODED with protests for his latest lame-brained behavior.

I say count the votes that are legal and may the best MAN win. I will personally let the Senator know what I think on a more personal note.

No more RINOs!!
If the NRSC goes to AK to assure fairness, that's OK. If they're going to help Murkowski, that's absolutely NOT OK. Hope Cornyn understands this - if not, we Texans will let him know in 2014 for sure !!!!

No. It is not John Cornyn's place to send legal assistance from the Committee to EITHER GOP candidate. The voters have spoken. Let the votes tell the story. Sarah Palin knows both candidates. Who better to support one over the other. This is why I do not send contributions to the Senatorial Committee. Let the people decide.

I'm not OK with this but I don't know what can be done I'll bet they steal this election they are the in crowd and they do what they want to heck with us

I'm not OK with any attempt to steal any election, especially for an incumbent, progressive-light, republicrat. Alaskan conservatives can let John Cornyn know that if his efforts at out-lawyering Joe Miller work, they will punish Cornyn, Murkowski, and the Republican party by voting for a non-Republican candidate in the general election.

I'm OUTRAGED by this !!! Evidently there is NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER, between the Progressive/Socailsit Democrates or Republicans.....this is nothing but 'fishy' and I resent this intrusion of this vote counting by these Rino lawyers as well as Senator Cornyn. Stop and desist this RIDUCULOUS 'GAME' NOW!! Are there ANY HONEST CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES that WE THE PEOPLE CAN COUNT ON ANYMORE ?? I'm sure that Alaska has the capabilities of handling these vote counts !

no it's not okay to disqualify votes, most of those absentee ballots are servicemen. What right does a politician have two disqualify their vote. If any votes disqualified both parties must agree that it's only fair both to the candidates and the voters.

Every effort should be made to count every ballot, every time.

We should get get after making Cornyn does not get re-elected !!!!!

I have to know the facts first. I emailed Senator Cornyn for an explaination. I recently sent Senator Cornyn a letter concerning "Cap and Trade" and his reply to me was "Thank you for your interest in the Space Program". His staff is not on the ball.

I want to "high-five" the TV screen every single time I see Cornyn on TV. He ALWAYS represents my conservative point of view, time and time again. That said, I hope he stays clear of the Alaska race. Why does the NRSC exist anyway? Shouldn't we be saving our resources for the November elections?!?! I'm not a super-political type - just a mom who brought her kids to a TEA party and got on a distribution list. But, it seems to me - let's use resources to fight it out in November, not in the GOP primaries.

NO.

THE REPUBLICANS SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN OPERATE AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

OUR NATION IS BROKE, TEXAS IS IN DEBT, THE COUNTIES ARE IN DEBT AND THESE POLITICIANS ARE TURNING US INTO BEGGARS.

I SAY LET THE TEXAS SENATOR KNOW HE PROCEEDS AT HIS OWN PERIL.

It looks and smells a little like the "good ol boys" club. Let the people of Alaska elect their senator...without the "help" of lawyers. We will be heard come Nov. 2010 and Nov. 2012. Elected officials like Cornyn will hear us then.

I heard the people that the NRSC sent to Alaska being called the "Incumbent Retention Committee". Mr. Cornyn has shown us that he is more interested in remaining with the "ruling class" than he is in doing what's right for the country and Texas. I don't care what party someone is in. Do what is right and adhere to the Constitution, or you will be voted out. Being a Republican is not good enough. We need CONSERVATIVES. I will absolutely vote against Cornyn in 2012.

Texas needs to "butt" out of Alaskan politics. We have enough problems of our own. Sic FOX News on it!

No, I am not okay with this. I am not a John Cornyn fan, although he was better than the alternative at the time. He is a RINO and needs to be voted out by a "true conservative." The status quo of RINOs must not prevail. Why on earth Cornyn thought he needed to send an attorney all the way to Alaska is beyond me.

Am I OK with it? NO..Am I surprised? NO! Cornyn has corrupted himself in Washington and actions like this prove it!

1. No, I am NOT OK with this action by Cornyn & the NRSC!
2. They're playing a smoke & mirrors game here while looking out for the RINO Murkowski.
3. The NRSC showed their colors in the NY-23 race where they supported the RINO there.
4. I've written Sen. Cornyn & the NRSC and told them they'll not see another penny from me in funding support UNTIL/UNLESS they stop doing this nefarious garbage. Everybody please call Senator Cornyn and tell him to STOP THIS MADNESS! Semper Fi! God Bless & Keep America Free & Strong!

Count the votes and listen to the people. The NRSC needs to stay out of it and LISTEN to the voters. You are not helping the Republican Party when you intercede try to overide the VOICE of the PEOPLE.

He should be told to let Alaska alone. The people have spoken and they do ot need his help.

This is the same John Cornyn that endorsed Alen Spector just before he turned Democrat and who endorsed Charlie Crist just before he turned "Independent." I think we need a new senator.

Blast Cornyn's office all you want. But by all means make sure that Michael Steele feels the heat too. Copy Steele; or send another set of separate remarks to him. It's going to be difficult to get the GOP to do away with the policies of the NRSCC if not impossible, but if you don't demand an end to the meddling of the NRSCC in primary races, there will be no end to it for sure. All remarks here are excellent and should be duplicated in the stuff sent to the RNC and Cornyn.

Senator Cornyn needs to understand that if he and his associates continue to support Murkowski, we won't be supporting him when he's running for re-election. She lost because she's a RINO and we should be glad to be rid of her.

Hell no! I'm not ok with it. I would suggest Sen. Cornyn be reminded that action like this will be remembered when he comes up for re-election. Also people like us do not appreciate this kind of action.

No, I'm not OK with this at all. Why is John Cornyn of TX sticking his nose in the business of the voters in Alaska? Why is he taking ANY particular side in this issue. A close election just requires a re-count...maybe...but let Alaska take care of it and MYOB. And, yes, John Cornyn will be hearing from me.

No, I'm not okay with Cornyn interfering in Alaskas politics but this is typical of him.
He is a perfect example of what is wrong with DC.
He voted for the Bush "bailouts" but is a harsh critic of Obama's bailouts - typical party politics BS

I am not OK with this, but there is nothing we can do. If we sent 5 million people to Alaska to protest, it would not make the news, Obama sure would not pay any attenion to it (he does what he wants to do regardless of what the majority of Americans want.) They have the money, they have the power, and no matter what the Tea Party does it is never enough to stop them.

The NRSC, by its own admission, is an "incumbent retention" committee. And this is why there are so many RINO's in the Senate. They need to butt out of an election once the voters have had their say.

Even the good guys sometimes miss the point. Butt out Cornyn. The "old guard" Republicans lost the last presidential election and look what we got. This ground swell reform should not be hindered by senatorial cronyism (or has it become Cornynism). The country cannot afford it. If the Miller and Murkowski positions were reversed would Cornyn step in to count the votes? I wonder.

I just phoned the Senators Washington office 202-224-2934 and left a voice mail message to report my great dissatisfaction and withdraw of any future contributions to the NRSC.

No, I am not okay with this. All ballots should be counted. The RNC is running scared of the Tea Party just like the DNC. We need to change things and change them fast.

Not ok

Definitely NOT okay with this. I no longer contribute to the Republican Party for this reason. My money goes to Sen. De Mint. I am tired of the same old games and nonsense. Mr. Cornyn needs to realize the people want Joe Miller not the same status quo Republican Lisa Murkowski brings to the ticket. We are cleaning house one at a time. We need people in Washington that listen to their constituants. Washington is broken we need to clean the senate and house up in 2010.

John Cornyn should keep his nose out of Alaska politics.

Send lawyers, guns and money.

Or send money to Joe and his lawyers and start shooting at Cornyn. I'll shoot him another letter right now. Why can't he keep his nose out of primaries? He is really making me mad, wasting resources like that.

I don't approve of this tactic. If we are to be a true democratic country, we should not interfere with the retaining of votes after the fact. Not all of the votes are even in so this action may be premature. At any rate, if we are to be true and faithful, we will not use tampering with votes as a condition of getting a red or blue candidate in office. This is one reason I'm upset with the Republican party. You can't tell the Republicans from the Democrats.

This is why I haven't been giving to the national (any of them) PAC's. I'm only donating directly or to a few of the smaller PAC's.

Both Cornyn and Hutchison need to be defeated and replaced by true conservatives. They are both part of the establishment and consequently part of the problem. Whenever I send my concerns about a particular issue (normally thru the John Birch Society), the responses I get from Cornyn are sometimes not even relevant to the topic of concern sent to him. Hutchinson doesnt even acknowledge the email.
On a positive note, I am very satisfied with Jeb Hensarling's conservative stance.

The only way we will ever get a responsible representattion in the State and Washington is to enact term limits. I don't believe Democrats or Republicans, and my fear is Republicans are trying to ride the Tea Parties coat tails. Where were these Republicans for fiscal responsibility for the last 8 years? Get rid of the bums! If Cornyn is trying to nullify the election of Joe Miller, he should be called out.

I think that we need to have some level of moderation in the Republican Party's position. The more strident right-wing rhetoric and positions are going to drive away a lot of potential votes.

Tell Cornyn and his like to keep their noses out of the AK primary! It's 100% up to the people of AK to decide who their senator should be -- not the lawyers' job. Let the ballots be counted by the people who legitimately have that responsibility. Then if there are questions, there can be a recount, as specified by AK law. We don't need lawyers deciding which ballot can even be counted. We need the lawyers and entrenched politicians to sit down and shut up!!!

I think it is as dumb as the people of AZ and letting McCain get another shot at extending his RINO reign in DC. I will vote against all incumbents and I think the "HONORABLE" not Cornyn needs to find another occupation.

Tell Cornyn to mind his own business and take care of business in Texas. I am for turning out all incumbents anyway.

Sounds like the vote stealing that put Al Franken in the Senate. Not such an exclusive club now, huh?

I Agree with Conservative Cornyn 99% ....... THIS, I don't!! Let the RNC know...... They're always wanting funds.

It's just as VERY important to have poll watches at EVERY precinct this Nov. so dead people, ACORN registered voters, etc don't steal some of the close elections!

If you want to be active, I'd suggest the Conservatives get rid of the "NorthEast" trio of Snow, Collins and what's his face because they are Liberal RINOs.

Let's stir up the pot and make 'em smell it.

A Fair Count is needed.

I DO NOT approve of John Cornyn aiding Murkowski. If he does I will NOT vote for him.

John Cornyn needs to keep himself out of the Alaska Senatorial election. He is going to be known as a member of the "Ruling Class" that the Tea Party is trying to remove. Cornyn ain't that big...he can be removed too. He better wise up and get with the American People or start looking for a real job.

I'm only ok with it, if it is FAIR! I want the conservative to win, but win fair and square! I hope it is true that Cornyn is sending a lawyer to keep things fair.

johns got to go! like most he also has been there long enough.

I htink Mr. Cornyn should stay out of this; heaven knows the GOP has not done a stellar job of recruiting qualified CONSERVATIVES and to acquiesce to Murkowski's blackmail effort is beyond the pale.

Sentor Cornyn has stood up for conservative ideals in the past, but is wrong in this stand. Murkowski has a proven non-conservative record. Cornyn is falling in the old trap of supporting the one he thinks will win or the one with the most money. He needs to support the conservative movement if he wants to support America.

I am angry with Cornyn and have called his office and emailed him to let him know I do not support the republican party financially because this is where the money gets spent, supporting turkeys like McCain, Lindsy Graham, Murkowski, Snowe and others. I also let him know I will withold any further financial or other support from him in the future if he does not straighten out and fly right. If this continues we need someone running against him.

No I'm not okay with it! We need a massive campaign telling Cornyn this is not what the public wants!

I think John Cornyn needs to back off. From I understand Murkowski voted for spending items such as the stimulus package. Which is what the Tea Party Patriots dont like.

Sorry I cannot make the demonstration at John Cornyn's office--I have plans made previously, otherwise I would be there. I will let Mr. Cornyn know how I dislike the NRSC butting in--AND--that Rinos MUST GO. WE WANT TRUE CONSERVATIVES.

I have been disappointed with John Cornyn for a long time. He is not a principled conservative -- he wants the Washington establishment to think he is a nice guy. This latest move, to support Murkowski against a real conserv ative, is a continuation of Cornyn's normal policy. Since he is in there and there is no alternative, all we can do is bring as much pressure as we can to make him take a hard line and to support conservative candidates and principles. Hopefully there will be a better alternative when he is up for re-election.

I'm sure the RNC has a role to play, but I don't think it should subvert the will of conservative voters. The Tea Party folks especially are going to save this country and should be given a free reign to do so.

Sen. Cornyn needs to stay out of this, especially as the Republican Party representative.

I'm Not OK with that John! It smacks of Fla. and Franken

"Senator Cornyn,

You have a reputation as a conservative senator, and I voted for you. But I am concerned that your committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is backing Republicans running against other Republicans in primary races. That is counter to the purpose and history of the committee.

You yourself once said "The candidates are not ours to choose... They're the choice of the primary voters in the states, and I think we should respect their choices." But your committee is seen backing/funding candidates running against tea-party candidates in primary elections.

Sounds like your committee is doing something that the Democrats would really appreciate, so they don't have to run against tea-party candidates in November. Who's side are you really on?

Sincerely..."

If the senator were a student, he'd have a C- average. We could do better, we could do worse. At the least his offices should be blasted loudly especialy by people who vote and support mainly Republicans but make no donations to the party,only indiviual campaigns. The party is over!

NOT OKAY!!!! I guess Cornyn thinks he is a part of the elite ruling class that can override the pronounced will of the people, like that judge in CA on prop 8.

I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN FUNDS DONATED TO THE COM. WERE DIVERTED TO A LEGAL ASS'T FUND FOR INCUMBENTS---NO MORE MONEY FROM ME TO THE FUND. I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN SENATOR CORNYN WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NO MORE MONEY TO SENATOR CORNYN JUST A LETTER. THANKS FOR ASKING.

I am very disappointed with Sen. Cornyn. He should not be involved in the Alaska race and he should support the conservative if he is.

John Cornyn, The NRSC should stay out of the primary races. Let the people decide then you can bring in the NRSC to insure victory. The NRSC need to stop giving automatic support to encumbents and share more facts and stop play the fear card only. I will remember what you did in Alaska come election day.

We need to be looking at NEW faces who are conservative and will not get caught up in "The Machine ".But how can you tell ? I support term limits.

Oh he has heard from me all right. Cornyn will be replaced if he tries to run again. We The People should force this issue, all committees must disclose every way that they can use donations. The NRSC should not be involved in primaries at all!!!
Sherry

Not a wise move for Mr. Cornyn! Let "the people" of Alaska speak!!!

Cornyn is another example of the RHINO's that needs to be sent packing! He is NO FRIEND to conservatism or the Tea Party Patriots. I for one did not check his name on the primary ballot and will not check his name on the general. I would support ANY conservative / T.P.P. candidate that challenged him!
