I don’t think he’s a conservative, but I wouldn’t call him a progressive, meself.

Eg you ain’t no ways shy when laying out the truth.

A toast! Here’s lookin’ at you kid! (Can’t wait to see all the videos)

As jayt has opened the forum for rants, I should like to include one of me own:

No doubt it is incumbent upon that sub-species, Politicianauseous ‘Merkanus, to be-rattle sabers when extolling their own singular virtues and incomparable attributes, by way of impressing the rest of us lesser beings.

However, it is NOT reassurring that would-be Number Two has indicated, by his rattling most clearly that his ‘interpretation’ of recent events in Georgia appears quite different from my own; specifically, one notes, how similar are his and our current overlord’s view of the ’situation’. As would-be Number One has also firmly indicated his support of King George’s version of ‘reality’, how may we imagine that the ‘new’ One and Two will eschew the notion of ‘endless’ war?

Perhaps this is too much to ask or expect from those who would ‘lead’ the rest of us into ‘change’?

The preceding rant was for cathartic porpoises only, so please do not belabor me with the ‘need’ of the political class to appeal to the jingoistic aspect of the ‘Merkan mentality, that they not appear ‘weak’.

I, for one, have had more than enough of cowboys and cowgirls. Perhaps, so too has the rest of the world.

Did you ever think Montana would elect progressives?

Since I helped elect him, yeah. Montana is slowly changing, largely in response to the multiple disasters inflicted on the state by over a decade of Republican misrule. Important to remember that the state could easily swing back if the Dems do not deliver. So far, Tester, Bauchus (not my favorite), and Schweitzer have been delivering. The Dems stand a good chance of taking all the statewide state offices and solid majorities in both houses of the legislature this year.

There are a lot of people here that consider themselves conservatives, but this administration has broken their heart.

Biggest deficit in history, government intervention in people’s private lives at an unprecedented level.

NICE!

I have always considered myself a conservative for government issues and that means to me democrat, not republican…go figure
