Its easier to kill Count Dracula than it is to kill a United Nations treaty. No matter how many stakes are driven through its heart the LOST comes back to life time after time. As I remember it the Count has to sleep in soil from Transylvania. In that sense United Nations headquarters is the soil for all UN treaties. So long as treaties sleep in that soil they will never die: The Tea Party got rid of Richard Lugar he is history in January only to see Lisa Murkowski pickup where he leaves off. It appears that the UN also has Children of the Night. Somebody should show her a cross just to check her reaction! Its no secret that Democrats are determined to hand this country to the United Nations, but does REPUBLICAN Murkowski understand that no amount of natural resources is worth the loss of SOVEREIGNTY? It seems that she will sellout her country for some vague economic gain for Alaskans: Before Murkowskis vote betrays this country Alaskans should demand that she explain why Alaska needs permission from the United Nations to develop resources of any kind? You might also ask Hussein & Company why the United States needs the UNs permission to do anything? Personally, I would like to ask every Senator this question: If ratification was put to a popular vote what percentage of Americans do you think would vote to ratify? Incidentally, does anyone know how Romney stands on ratifying the LOST? He would score big with American voters from both parties if he comes out against it. In closing, how about Bela Lugosi for UN Secretary General? Im sure he is resting somewhere in the bowels of UN headquarters waiting to be reborn yet again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IVPxAgy7lBA Republican senator says sea treaty might ?pass after election By Zack Colman - 08/17/12 10:32 AM ET Sen. Lisa Murkowski ®-Alaska) says she's hopeful that the Law of the Sea Treaty will pass Congress in the lame-duck session after the election, despite the fierce opposition of some conservatives. Murkowski told The Associated Press the sea treaty will have better prospects in the Senate when the fall campaign is over. The global maritime pact would establish de facto rules for the nations oceans, and business interests say it will create opportunities for offshore drilling. This is a treaty that I believe very strongly will contribute not only to our national security, but will allow us a level of certainly in accessing our resources in the north, Murkowski said. Murkowski and Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) both support the treaty, and Murkowski has championed several other efforts to tap the states natural resources. The untapped deepwater oil and natural gas off Alaskas coast could be a significant economic boon for The Last Frontier and the entire nation, she and many of her Republican colleagues argue. I dont want us, as an Arctic nation, to abandon those opportunities, and we would be doing that if we fail to ratify the Law of the Sea treaty, Murkowski said. Senate Republicans thwarted passing the treaty in July by securing the 34 votes needed to block it. Since it is a treaty, the measure requires a two-thirds majority for approval. Treaty opponents argue it would infringe upon national sovereignty by letting member nations refuse U.S. Navy operations in their territories. It also would give the International Seaboard Authority power to disburse some oil and gas royalties from offshore operations. But with the powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is usually aligned with Republicans, backing the treaty and Democrats and President Obama also supportive, the lame-duck chances might indeed be better. An aide for Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) posed that scenario in July, blaming the resistance on a white-hot political campaign season. Still, Murkowski said the U.S. Chamber would have to make the treaty one of its top priorities to muster enough Republican votes in the cramped lame-duck session. http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/244101-murkowski-sea-treaty-might-pass-in-lame-duck
