Hey Mark...did you vote for ObamaCare?

[Calvin Locke]

He's a Dem. If he was in office, then the answer's obvious.

Another posted article said he may have put up token resistance to BHO's anti-energy policies, but Begich voted with BHO/Reid 97% of the time.

U.S. Sen. Mark Begich today issued the following statement after Senate passage of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:

“I voted in favor of the Senate health insurance reform bill because I believe the status quo is unacceptable. The vast majority of the reforms in the Senate bill are good policies that, if given a chance, will improve the lives of Alaskans.

Call me a cynic but I don’t count this toady out till the fat lady sings. Being born and raised in Louisiana I didn’t think I could ever live in a state more corrupted by unions and entitlement voters. OK so we have the mob in LA to contend with too. Remember this is the state where native villages vote 100% for write in candidates with all (murkowsi dem crossover)votes in the same handwriting. I’ll be dancing in the streets Wednesday morning if marky poo goes down by at least 6%. Otherwise the Juneau machine and the democrats will keep recounting the votes till they get it right.
