Alaska to Help Democrats Gain Seat in the House- Don Young to thrown out due to mental issues

[J_J_]

Rep. Young 'freaked out' before Kodiak debate, says challenger Dunbar

So what happened before the debate?

Dunbar, reached Friday and pressed about the encounter, said the two were walking near each other backstage when Young said angrily, “You're not from Cordova any more than I’m from Fort Yukon. I had you looked into.”

Dunbar, raised in that Southcentral Alaska town after his family moved there from Eagle in the Interior when he was a child, said he tried politely responding to Young. Young grew up in California and moved to Alaska as a young man, not long after serving in the U.S. Army in the mid-1950s.

Dunbar, who now lives in Anchorage, said he was puzzled and in a friendly gesture touched Young on his arm lightly and asked: “What are you talking about?” Then:

“He freaked out,” said Dunbar. “There is no other way to describe it.

“He kind of snarled at me and said, ‘Don’t you ever touch me. Don’t ever touch me. The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead,’” said Dunbar.

Before walking away from the congressman, Dunbar said he waved his hand in a dismissive gesture, saying, “Whatever, man.”

Young replied, according to Dunbar, with a taunting, swishing motion of his own hand: “Oh, you got a sweet swing. You got a sweet swing.”

Okay, he's totally lost it and you can tell by the comments even Republicans are horribly embarassed and ready to embrace a new Rep. Forrest Dunbar,


The only problem is Alaska's elections are counted by accuvote diebold machines.

In 2004 there was 200% voter turnout in almost half of Alaska's districts. The results were tampered with and no one was held accountable.

This has been covered by bradblog and shannyn moore at huffingtonpost

A vote recently 'passed' giving the oil companies 2 billion per year of alaska's money- no exit polls, no way to verify.

Now we have another 'election' with the much hated Conoco/Exxon employee governor (koch clone), a carpetbagger teabagger Koch clone Sullivan is attempting to buy (steal?) the election from Begich, and Forrest should clearly win the seat in the House but I do not trust it.

I know everyone here knows how important it is to keep the senate, so I really wish people would realize how important this election is to us, and them, which is why they will steal it if they can and no one is suspicious.

1. K & R, nt

2. Good Luck to Dems in Alaska, JJ! Sounds like it's time for Don Young to get fired since

he's not retiring.

4. people are suggesting maybe his family should encourage him to step down

before he makes even more of an ass of himself and ruins all history of an okay career in the House.

Perhaps he doesn't realize he is mentally ill, someone who loves him should step in and help him out.

At any rate, I think he just confessed that he killed someone. There should be an investigation.

5. Wow, yeah.. if they love him and are smart enough.. they should encourage

him to retire to spend more time with them.

3. major Koch money ads everywhere for Sullivan in Alaska

They want the Alaska senate seat bad!

If the votes were counted fairly, judging from comments from the vast majority of Alaskans....Alaska would have a new Independent/Democratic combined ticket Governor, new Democratic Representative Forrest Dunbar, and maintain the senate with Democratic Senator Mark Begich.....if only we could hand count the ballots...

6. Kick for Fairness in Alaska!

7. Thanks!

I know we are a tiny population, but I think we matter!



(Obviously the Koch brothers think we do the way they are attempting to buy the election)

8. Of course you Matter! Have you seen this?.. It looks Encouraging for Begich.

Reporter’s Notebook: Following the trail to the end of the earth

"QUINHAGAK, Alaska – To observe one of the most sophisticated field organizations of this midterm campaign cycle, you have to journey to the end of the earth."

That’s what Washington Post photojournalist Melina Mara and I did last week to document the ground game Sen. Mark Begich (D) has built in the most remote villages of Alaska

Like many residents of Quinhagak, Jackie lives a subsistence lifestyle. That means she hunts, fishes and gathers much of her own food. Melina and I learned about subsistence the day before, when we visited Kotzebue, home to about 3,200 people north of the Arctic Circle. In Kotzebue, our host was Myles Creed, 25, a Democratic field staffer there, who explained that subsistence is not only a proud indigenous tradition, but an economic imperative in rural Alaska because of high shipping costs.

Talking with voters in Kotzebue and Quinhagak, it became obvious that Begich’s support for subsistence rights on federal and state lands was one of his biggest selling points
