		<description>Thank you to all the mud pups for bringing out the truth.  Chronic liars everywhere especially in affluent positions where millions and millions of federal dollars for the people is being misused and abused.  Stupid greedy people lie and cheat to keep their control.</description>

		<description>Rusty, I was born here 46 years ago.  I was undercover because sometimes it can be scary around certain people who like guns as much as many of the people last night do (my father was in Federal Law Enforcement for 30 years and you kind of pick up on these things).  Also, there were several people that I know socially and professionally, and from the comments that some of them made, I did not want to possibly ruin my relationship with them over something as dumb as the fact that I was voting against them.  I know their views and like them in spite of it, but sometimes people are so rigid that they will throw away a perfectly good friendship over nothing. 

 I see that the guy who bragged that he was a convicted felon got elected.  That tells me that many of the people there were so passionately against the other side that they threw common sense out the window.  I myself voted for a guy who was only running to keep the &quot;Defenders of Wildlife Crazies&quot; off the board, but I know him to be a good and honest person who would make thoughtful decisions.  

Would you do the same?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not that a Republican could not win District 22, just that Mark can&#039;t (61-39 split last time), especially after this deception. 

Mark, you argue for less govt and more personal responsibility--well it&#039;s time to walk the talk. Admit you screwed up, and publicly apologize for defamation of AKM&#039;s character. I&#039;m really looking forward to the next time you come campaigning at my door.</description>

		<description>Ok I agree that this Fish fella stepped on his own D***, but in akbatwomans own words, inadvertantly reveals an absolute truth: &quot;I’m hoping that there were other “undercover greenies” like me, or else our candidates are in trouble.&quot;

The only way greenies and lefties win is.. by deception.
But then, you all already knew that..</description>

		<description>Well, I was rash and actually left a comment. So that you all will not have to go there to read it I will copy it here: 
Strange, the email you sent out contained the words radical and twisted. Once sent, any &quot;corrections&quot; do not fly down the series of tubes to the original email and &quot;correct&quot; them. The email came from your address. You screwed up, own up.</description>

		<description>Well, I got off my derriere and stood in line for an hour or so.  Listened to everybody speak, voted for the &quot;progressive list&quot; plus one guy from the other side to balance it out, and left.  Now I&#039;m dying to know the results!  Did they announce the winners?  I&#039;d make a totally wild guess that there were maybe 400 people there, (give or take a hundred) and frankly, many of them looked like they probably hunt with automatic machine guns, but hey, this is Alaska, so maybe they were just really manly looking environmentalists.  I saw several people that I know (all assuming that I was voting on the anti-environmentalist side) and I politely clapped for every candidate, even the one who started out by announcing that he&#039;s a convicted felon.  I&#039;m hoping that there were other &quot;undercover greenies&quot; like me, or else our candidates are in trouble.  But Please, somebody post some results.  Could the meeting still be in progress at 10:48PM?</description>

		<description>AKM, this act of deception should also be reported to the MSM and HuffPo as an example of Rethuglican dishonesty.</description>

		<description>Also, LiladyNY  made use of the term &quot;hoisted by one&#039;s petard&quot; earlier. I did the same a few weeks ago, then decided to see exactly what a petard was. I was thinking it was a nautical term such as a mast or a boom....... whooo boy was I wrong. Well it is a boom sort of..... a fart.

Here&#039;s what I discovered by googling.

1. A small bell-shaped bomb used to breach a gate or wall.
2. A loud firecracker.
... See More
(so far so good)

&quot;ETYMOLOGY:
French pétard, from Old French, from peter, to break wind, from pet, a breaking of wind, from Latin peditum, from neuter past participle of pedere, to break wind; see pezd- in Indo-European roots&quot;

(whoops!)

&quot;WORD HISTORY:
The French used pétard, &quot;a loud discharge of intestinal gas,&quot; for a kind of infernal engine for blasting through the gates of a city. &quot;To be hoist by one&#039;s own petard,&quot; a now proverbial phrase apparently originating with Shakespeare&#039;s Hamlet (around 1604) not long after the word entered English (around 1598), means &quot;to blow oneself up with one&#039;s own bomb, be undone by one&#039;s own devices.&quot; &quot;

(OMG the French built a bomb out of intestinal gas to blast through city gates? No wonder Americans now despise the French!)

&quot;The French noun pet, &quot;fart,&quot; developed regularly from the Latin noun peditum, from the Indo-European root *pezd-, &quot;fart.&quot; &quot;

I&#039;m blown away so to speak by this discovery. And I thought Shakespeare was classier than this. He now seems so.....common.

But in this case, it fits....... AK Fish was blown up by his own fart so to speak.  No wonder his post smelled.</description>

		<description>I went to Fish&#039;s Blog and read his BS.  If I was moved to post there, I would have posted something like this.

Besides being a bad liar which Mudflats has already proven, you must be fraudulently taking campaign contributions too.  Did you or did you not post this....

&quot;Tuesday, September 1, 2009
Letter of Intent
A letter was filed with APOC yesterday, declaring my intent to become a candidate for Alaska state House in district 22. &quot;

Blah blah blah blah (no need to copy the rest of your ramblings)

and this

&quot;Contributions up to the legal limit accepted.
Posted by Alaska Fish at 11:01 AM&quot;

So are you really running? Or did you just find an easy fraudulent way to get people to send you money?  

Get a job cupcake! And maybe a lawyer while you&#039;re at it.</description>
