Besides the fact he was suspended for three days, he used three computers and actually thought it would make a difference. Now I appreciate him calling himself an 'ass,' but, that really doesn't excuse some really bizarre thinking and behavior.
Joe needs to leave Alaska, alright, but, not for DC. He needs to find a place in the country where there is actual opportunity for his ability as an attorney rather than living in a 'small pond' and believing three computers are going to change the outcome of a poll for his ambitions.
Buoy. The Tea Party certainly got an interesting one, huh?
Now, do I believe he should be elected? No. I believe the citizens of Alaska really need to take an honest look at the Democratic candidate for Alaskan US Senate and realize he never took them for granted in any of his race.
Joe Miller's paranoid attempt to overthrow the Alaska Republican Party
| Oct 31, 2010[...In March 2008, (click here) Miller was placed on administrative leave for 15 days and suspended without pay for three days after getting caught using co-workers' computers in an effort to influence Republican Party politics. He was also required to undergo mandatory counselling.
Miller has long been a political crony of former Gov. Sarah Palin, and in March 2008 was assisting in her effort to get Randy Ruedrich booted as the Alaska Republican Party's chairman -- a political takeover that ultimately failed.
Palin and Ruedrich had been at odds before, famously in 2003 when Palin, then an Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission commissioner, discovered that Ruedrich, also a commission member while state GOP chair, was conducting Republican business out of his state office. She exposed Ruedrich's ethical lapses -- forcing him to resign and resulting in a $12,000 state ethics fine -- and then used her reputation as a corruption fighter to bootstrap her way into the governor's office....]
...Miller's time as a part-time borough attorney (click title to entry - thank you) allude to some of the Gulf War veteran's fears, including his belief that someone might hack into the borough's computer system.
It was around this same time -- March 2008 -- that Miller was caught using three of his co-workers' computers to pad a political poll on his personal website. After the incident, Miller, who at first lied about the computer usage, was placed on leave for about two weeks, followed by a three-day suspension without pay and six months probation.
For co-workers who had just days earlier heard Miller going on about personal threats and computer schemes, the timing of Miller's misuse of their computers was unsettling, spawning one more twist in a situation that seemed to grow stranger by the day....
