Mark Begich: Sarah Palin may not be Alaska resident
Politico ^ | 07/10/2013 | BURGESS EVERETT

Posted on 07/10/2013 12:57:49 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Sarah Palin “quit on Alaska” as governor and “ has lost touch” with her home state, Mark Begich told POLITICO.

The Democratic senator said Palin, who said Tuesday she’s considering challenging him for his seat in 2014, might not even be a resident of Alaska and is someone he won’t take seriously unless she emerges from a competitive Republican primary.

“I don’t know if she’s a resident. She’s been away from Alaska a lot and has probably lost touch with what’s going on. She should go to my webpage,” Begich said. “Most Alaskans I see on a pretty regular basis, but I haven’t seen her for a long time.”

During an interview Wednesday with POLITICO, Begich questioned four times whether Palin is even a resident of the state she once governed and said his campaign won’t go on the offensive against Palin unless she can handle Joe Miller and Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell in a primary.

“A Republican primary in Alaska? She may not survive,” he said, one of a bundle of choice remarks for the former vice presidential candidate.

Begich, a former mayor of Anchorage, has known Palin for years. He said his sister played basketball with Palin — but there’s no love lost between the two.

“I take every candidate seriously — that is if she’s still a resident, but you know she quit on Alaska what she was governor,” Begich said. “She’s been somewhat vacant from the state and quit on the state, so I wish her the best on her potential run.”

I haven’t seen Begitch since he came to my work once raving about how great all the government pork was that he was bringing to the state. I don’t care about the money, cut the dang money!
He has recently been running ads saying how he is opsing the Obama administration. Trying to make himself sound conservative to the gullible people. He needs to go away for a long time.

He's using snide comments

Those aren't snide comments, they are seeds being planted that will eventually be cultivated and fertilized by the MSM..........

Let me ask you Mark, did you wet yourself when you heard Palin was coming for your job?

Right. I didn’t say she was born there. But she’s definitely an Alaskan, despite where she lives.

Ford was born in Nebraska but was native to Michigan, Lincoln born in Kentucky but was native to Illinois, Hoover was born in Iowa but was native to California, same with Reagan, who was born in Illinois.

Was Calvin Coolidge, who spent a great deal of his life in Massachusetts, in college, as legislator, and governor, any less a Vermonter??

She has a home in Arizona. That may in fact be true.

Regardless, Begich is a tinfoil hat nutter. Makes his living peddling conspiracy theories that the HAARP array is used for weather and/or mind control.

His brother is the Junior Dem Sen from AK.

The Democratic senator said Palin....might not even be a resident of Alaska

That's democrat code to the MSM to start the investigation and inquisition and dig up everything they can to disenfranchise her from her supporters...........

‘Native’ is a term used for people who are born there. I am a native of Ohio but I’ve lived in Nebraska just about my whole life.

>>>Maybe she walked here from Russia?>>>

Is that more of old, tired “She said she could see Russia from her kitchen window?”

The TRUTH is that Palin said that Russia could be seen from Alaska, and it CAN. Russia owns islands just off the coast of Alaska, and could use them to mount ammunition against America.

Which, of course, is why he's spending so much time talking about her - becuase he doesn't take her seriously. If she announced she was running for AK seat this Turd Burgler would wet himself.

That’s okay. We have a Democrat President who may not even be a natural-born citizen, who seems to be on the golf course or on taxpayer-paid vacations a lot. Has our President lost touch with what’s going on?

Now why can’t the brain thrust at the RNC come up with gems like this?

Yes. I must be a democrat because I don’t worship at the temple of Palin. You would have made a great Nazi.
