Jake Eaton & The Montana GOP: Still Desperate, Still Misleading

May 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

“Montanans aren’t going to be fooled by Brian Schweitzer and a bunch of Washington, DC politicians that want to hand over control of our water to federal bureaucrats,” Eaton said. “He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth and you can bet we’re going to make sure voters know about it.”

As Matt reported earlier, the big, bad Club for Growth is up on the air next week in Montana with ads attacking Senators Baucus and Tester for their support of the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act. Known for their rabid aversion to any sort of regulation, this move isn’t a big surprise, although one would […]

NRA Endorses Gov. Schweitzer

May 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

It’s no secret that Gov. Schweitzer is a huge gun advocate. Still, this has to hurt. As a Dem, an endorsement from the NRA is about as likely as Jim Hunt getting an endorsement from NRCC. Nevertheless, the Governor earned this one by “sticking to his guns” and not just picking […]

May 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Just as I finished hitting the publish button on the entry below regarding Roy Brown’s dishonest attacks on Gov. Schweitzer, an email arrived from Rep. Rehberg’s Congressional office furthering the dubious claims.
Now we all know Denny’s no stranger to using tax dollars for partisan purposes–paying Erik Iverson $160k per year to chair the state party […]

Roy Brown Taking Dishonesty To The ‘Net

May 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

In a lengthy editorial posted at Montana Headlines last week, would-be governor Roy Brown tries to take Gov. Schweitzer to task for his supposed support of the Clean Water Restoration Act. However, Brown’s accusations and words directly from Gov. Schweitzer’s mouth when he testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on H.R. 2421 […]

More Desperation From The Montana GOP

May 20th, 2008 · No Comments

It appears that the GOP is already push polling in the MT Senate race. I can’t imagine who would pay for such a thing since the this race is pretty much the dictionary definition of a slam dunk. Just about any Democrat would welcome GOP groups throwing their money away in trying to […]

It’s not only young people who are excited about Obama’s candidacy in Montana. Myrtle Strong Enemy is the oldest woman in the Crow Nation at 101, but that didn’t stop her from coming out to see Obama’s appearance for what was a first of its kind visit of a presidential candidate to […]

I’m Out!

May 14th, 2008 · 4 Comments

This sportsman for Obama is going fishing on the Missouri for a few days. I’m sure my three readers will be heartbroken.
One note before I leave: Roy Brown’s uninspired pandering has reached new heights. Now he’s adopting Obama’s branding, referring to his campaign as, “The kind of change we can all believe […]

Sell Out Your Constituents By Hi-Noon

May 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Bill Vaughn has a great piece on Bill Nooney, the black sheep of the Missoula legislative delegation, up at 4 and 20 Blackbirds today. It’s a maddening story of Nooney’s willingness to knife his neighbors in the back at the behest of his corporate keepers. It worth a read, even if you don’t […]
