Joe Miller has been proven to be nothing but a mouthpiece. He says many government programs are unconstitutional only to have it found that he and his family have been recipients of many government programs. He wants to challenge others morality as his is proven to be at least suspect.
I hope that between now and November 2nd most people will realize Joe Miller and many others in the Tea Party and the Right Wing are unfit to govern and will be a detriment to the country. I do not hold much hope unless Democrats and Progressives come out to vote. Senator Vitter of Louisiana is leading in his re-election bid even as he has broken prostitution laws and even as a married man has used the services of many prostitutes.
The Right Wing believes in selective enforcement of their “moral compass”.

Amid a political firestorm of controversy surrounding Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller’s ethics violations while working as a government attorney in 2008, new details emerged on Tuesday night revealing that the Republican hopeful himself admitted to lying about his complicity in the matter. "I lied about accessing all of the computers," wrote Miller in an e-mail to Fairbanks North Star Borough attorney Rene Broker in March of 2008 in the wake of allegations he used the office technology for political purposes. "I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally I admitted what I did."
The remarks from Miller came to light in a 60-page dispatch of records released (PDF) by the Alaska borough after a judge issued a court order for the files to be made public.
Miller detailed the incident at the core of the controversy in the same e-mail to Broker disclosed in the documents:
Over the lunch hour this past Wednesday, I got on three computers (not belonging to me) in the office. All of them were on and none of them were locked. I accessed my personal website, for political purposes (participated in a poll), and then cleared the cache on each computer. I did the same thing on my computer. Jill asked the office what happened. I lied about accessing all of the computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally, I admitted what I did.
The Fairbanks News Miner reports:
The records corroborate statements made earlier this month by former borough Mayor Jim Whitaker who said Miller engaged in "proxy voting" in a failed bid to oust state GOP chairman Randy Ruedrich at the 2008 Alaska Republican convention.
In a curious move made by Miller, attorneys for the conservative candidate’s campaign moved to take legal action against the former Mayor over the matter. The Anchorage Daily News reported last week:
The complaint, filed Wednesday by Anchorage attorney Thomas Van Flein, alleges that Whitaker violated Miller’s constitutional rights and committed a misdemeanor offense when he told reporters last week that Miller was nearly fired from his borough attorney job for using borough computers in a failed bid to oust state Republican party chairman Randy Ruedrich.
