Primary Results not Suprised

No big surprise, I think though this anti-incumbency fever is only affecting those on the right. Murkowski seems to have lost her position, but I also think that it has a lot to do with how easily Alaskans are manipulated by the politicians. Alaskans, like most red state people, seem to live in a world of white noise about themselves. They hate the Federal Government and all the Federal Welfare that flows from it to someone else. They see it as though someone else is taking there tax dollars and buying fur coats and nice cars. What they seem to fail to see is they are the ones who are on the receiving end of this money. They fail to see as they send their kids to elementary school, they are suckling on the teat of government. They drive on the roads, more government milk, and when their kids go on to higher education, it is also on the back of the Tax Payer. The ultimate problem for all the Tea Party people is an absolute lack of any sort of knowledge or understanding of what the function of the Government is, what "provide for the general welfare" means, and a complete lack of awareness that they too are Welfare Queens.
