Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich's new spot features him on snowmobile, and touting his efforts..... Anybody see it ???? Why is it only the rich "and all powerful" ones get to ride around on a snowgo up north in the "no snowmobiles zone" and the out of state folks filming it...... oh yea were just peasant's, i forgot!!! ........hes full of chit > """""Begich�s ad claimed that "he forced Washington to open up the Arctic Ocean to oil drilling." Begich wasn�t in the Senate when the government awarded leases to Shell, but the leases were only the first step toward drilling in the Arctic Ocean. Numerous other federal permits were required before Shell could drill there, and by multiple accounts, Begich played a key role in pushing the administration from the time he began serving in the Senate.

Shell did drill in 2012 -- the first activity in that region of the Arctic in decades -- though after complications arose, including legal ones, the company hasn�t done so again.

So Begich can rightfully take credit for helping advancing Shell�s oil-drilling permits in the Arctic Ocean, but there�s currently no drilling taking place."""""

Yeah, I've seen the ad. Not surprised. Didn't Al Gore invent the internet? Why shouldn't Obummer's lapdog for Alaska claim he initiated drilling in the Arctic Ocean? Baggage & the Dims runnin' scared regarding his seat. Every once & awhile Fox News talks about the Senators up for re-election that are on the edge of losing them. Our friendly lapdog is always on the list.
What did you expect? They are geniuses but only in their own minds.

Remember and remind everyone you know he voted for the unaffordable health careless act, and for Holder as AG.

Mead or Dan should tear him a new one come fall.

We can only hope.
B.I.F.

I wish Mead would do some campaigning, I have yet to see a single commercial on tv or hear one on the radio. I don't even want to think about Begich winning, it gives me a migraine.

If you want to piss Bagazz just call him a Harry Reid Lap dog to his face. Get's him sputtering. When I called him out on Obammy care he explained how much smarter he was than the folks here in Alaska that didn't realize how much we needed this. Obama care needs to be shoved up is arse as he's pushed out of office. Go Mead!!!!

I saw that weasle in Lowes last year, I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but my wife was worried i'd get booted out of the store. Luckily he had his son with him or it could have gotten ugly.

He goes a lot of places with that little kid. I think it's so people won't punch him out. I was just as tempted, let me tell you. And I ran into him where I worked. It was all I could do to keep from "straightening" his lapels, and slap him a little.

Since when did the truth have anything to do with politics? "don't tell the truth, tell em what you want them to believe"

Fu**ing scumbag.

Or the two twits on SCOTUS.

Bagitch must be scared to death of Dan Sullivan because his attack ads specifically target him. He hasn't approved a peep against Treadwell yet.

I know the folks in King Cove aren't happy with him either. He's avoided us like the plague and and he hasn't defended us on record. His non-commitment on the King Cove-Cold Bay Road speaks volumes about were his loyalties really lie.

Afterall he doesn't want to risk pissing off the eco-nazis and losing a significant amount of democrap financial support that comes from them. As far as his horseschitt propaganda about Shell's drilling activity, both he and the eco-nazis know it's horseschitt and he has their blessing to use it.

Fahq Bagitch with a broken stick.

All one has to do run ads on how Begich ran Alaskans favorite son uncle ted's name through the mud on false allegations to get elected and never said he was sorry for doing it after uncle Ted was found to be innocent.

Hopefully that hasn't been forgotten.


But hey, us repubs have to claim Lisa. I like Mark more than Lisa. I detest Lisa. I don't like Young.

Our pols in Alaska suck.

We need to clean house, our politicians don't give a crap about Alaska or Alaskans, they care only about getting re-elected and staying on the gravy train.

they called him "lost baggage" on the radio yesterday lol!! .......I think its time to make a couple sheet of plywood /monster signs ...with some catch'e phrase... in the back of the pickup ...park it just right at busy fred meyers and drive it though all the busy intersections !!!

Why?

Every time some clown runs for office they have to present themselves is the light they think the public wants to see. It doesn't matter if it is a school board election in Anchorage or Begich, the spin doctors go to work creating an image for the public to digest.

About a year ago a candidate in Wasilla was running for the state legislator and he ran a series of ads on TV showing himself riding up some guys driveway on horseback. touting how conservative he was, a school administrator and a hunter. Well, about 12 years ago I worked for this guy and I never saw him on a sno-go, out hunting or fishing or ever out of town ever. He did a good job of presenting himself the way the voters wanted to see him and got elected. Today he is doing everything in his power to gut public education funding and shift public education $ into private schools. I think the voters got what they wanted in Wasilla! Nice!

In the end we as voters/consumers have the real control of this type of thing. don't buy the product. Remember Mike Dukakis back in 1987(?) riding in a tank? Did you buy that image? Bet not!

Vote!

voting is just a way of "sharing the wealth" ....Ya, head down to any Borough assembly meeting/ budget hearing ...and look at the folks with their hand out to get "their pile of $$$" ...From OUR pile!!!!

Right on. What ever happened to a call to public service?

That one was earned and you should keep using it.

Walt's proctologist.

Fixed it for you.

This is where walt gets his chocolate milk

It doesn't matter who is voted in. If you are middle class you will get FU*CKED. Period

Goes with out saying.
