I think one of our trolls is looking for a hot date.

Koch brother funded ad attacks Senator Mark Begich using fake Alaskan played by Maryland actress. Oh no you didn't!
Courtesy of HuffPo:
Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, released an attack ad on Wednesday criticizing Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) for his support of the Affordable Care Act.
The commercial features an unidentified Alaskan voter, who is actually an actress living in Maryland, according to The New York Times. In the ad, the actress blames Begich for breaking his promise to Alaskans.
“I trusted the president and Senator Begich … Now millions are losing their health care … costs are going way up,” the woman says. “Senator Begich didn’t listen. How can I ever trust him again? It just isn’t fair. Alaska deserves better.”
The actress is a Maryland native named Connie Bowman who does commercials, voice-overs and print ads.
“I’m just an actress,” she told the Times on Wednesday.
Political advertisements often use professional actors. But pretending to be an Alaska resident to offer criticism crosses a line, according to Begich’s campaign, which called the commercial an unfounded attack from a non-Alaskan.
Oh you done fucked up now!
Let me assure you that Alaskans HATE people from out of state trying to influence our votes, ESPECIALLY by using this kind of trickery.
I can guarantee that this does nothing but help Mark in seeking reelection.
The thing is that I am sure that Americans for Prosperity could have found a local Alaskan willing to appear in their ad, there are plenty of stalwart Republicans up here, but they simply outsourced the job to , using a favorite Alaskan epithet, a "fucking out of stater."

Just a little food for thought about the impact of religion on the advancement of science.
When we accept that all of our answers are written in a book instead of embedded in the natural world and space around us we fail to meet our true potential as human beings.
