If ever there was a definition in Webster’s of a “Republican” politician ripe for a resounding primary defeat”, it would be accompanied by a picture of “Lovely Lisa”, champion of the downtrodden and ‘Forever GOP”.
And it’s too damn bad that Catholic Bishops don’t have to run for their lofty offices. There are many who would also be ripe for defeat in a “Catholic Primary”.
(This is a good column appearing at by Joe Miller’s “Restoring Liberty” blog. Miller is a good guy (far as I can tell), was an ally of Sarah Palin ‘back in the day’. He was a Tea Party candidate who ran for US Senator in 2010 when Murkowski won as a ‘write-in’; What a bonehead mistake by Alaskan Republican voters that was!)

Alaska’s Catholic Bishops Quiver Before Apostate Murkowski’s Pro-Abortion Jihad
July 22, 2017/by Bob Bird (excerpt)
Once again, Alaska’s “Catholic” U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski has given herself over to Planned Parenthood and the Culture of Death that it promotes by her refusal to de-fund the abortion giant from federal hand-outs. Of the approximately sixty million abortions that have been performed when the first states legalized it since the late 60s, through the feminist years of the 70s and 80s until now, Planned Parenthood has accounted for more abortions — into the tens of millions — than any other source. . . .
“This leaves many prolifers, both Catholic and non-Catholic, in a quandary. “The Catholic Church talks a good game, but does not follow through”, would be one way to characterize it. The faithful who have approached now three different bishops in the Archdiocese of Anchorage over the years have received silence, tut-tut head pats, assurances that behind-the-scenes efforts would be a better way to approach the problem, or admonishment for fomenting divisiveness.” . . .
“Follow the Money” is the sagest advice for understanding corruption. Could it be that the Catholic bishops do not want to lose federal funding for their homeless shelters, hospitals and other social services? According to the Washington Times, over $1.6 billion has been funneled their way in recent years.
Alaska’s Catholic clerics have failed to perform any meaningful gesture, however small or symbolic, to proclaim the truth about allegedly Catholic politicians who support Planned Parenthood’s war on the unborn. If they did, it would constitute a minor miracle that might give a small ray of hope in a culture that has gone mad.

“The faithful who have approached now three different bishops in the Archdiocese of Anchorage over the years have received silence, tut-tut head pats, assurances that behind-the-scenes efforts would be a better way to approach the problem, or admonishment for fomenting divisiveness.”
The US bishops have learned well from their “benefactor”, Barack Obama, and now aggressively lead “from their behinds”. (They have supported Obamacare, “Open Borders”, and, most, support Pope Francis’s (and Obama’s) inane “climate change” doctrine.)
