I'm assuming you aren't with the Testor campaign or those who create his ads, so I'm assuming you are just repeating their talking points that you've heard/read.

Not sure what you think I have posted, but it seems I have to call bullshitt on each thing you attribute to my posts. Don't mind a good debate, but offensive misconstruing of other's posts is rude!

My point is the ads about this subject aren't true. They are misleading at best. It's like the text from the Montana Independent. It's a completely biased paper.

That's your opinion ... based on your blatant bias.

BTW, Tim Sheehy's opponent in this Senatorial race is Jon Tester. 'Don't know of a "Testor".

My guess is he hangs more with Montana resident sportsmen than wealthy carpetbaggers pretending to be ranchers.

What’s so funny about the left is that a grown adult can’t buy a ranch and become a rancher-even part time, that’s such an exclusive club and the only way to do that is to be born into it and have it handed down over a few generations, then it’s acceptable. But a human can change their gender and pretend to be a cat if they want, and the rest of us have to pretend with them. You have to see the hypocrisy there.

Another question…these “native MT” ranchers who sell out, do they get a free pass on the criticism from the left for who they sell to? I guess if they sell to a leftist like Turner it’s okay.

Post #158 and #160, read them again, with the comprehension turned up to anything past 3.

Question, is Ted Turner running for a Montana Senate seat?
 
It is interesting that the supposed misrepresentations about Sheehy's stance on public lands is a hit below the belt, when the thread began with a misrepresentation of Tester.

Politics is full contact, always has been, forever. IIRC, Truman once said something to the effect...if you want a friend in Washington DC, get a dog.

I do not know Sheehy, at all. He may well be a really decent man. I do know that he would be very unlikely to meet with an average cross section of Montanans.

As, I've mentioned in earlier posts in different threads, I was the chairman of the Union for a period of time, while working at an oil refinery in Billings. Shortly after Tester was first elected, his staff contacted me to see if he could come to a monthly meeting to speak and take questions. He came, gave a short talk about what he wanted to do in office, then took questions...from all comers, unscreened, unscripted, until there were no more questions. Then he stayed for a bit after the meeting, to have a beer and visit with us.

No one at that meeting had deep enough pockets to influence a politician. He came anyway. I do not think that an average Montanan would find Sheehy that open to meeting with them.

I know quite a few folks from Big Sandy(testers hometown). None that I’ve spoken with would vote for him. Kinda says a lot.

The very same neighbors put him into the state senate, multiple times, there is that.

Quite a few MORE folks unknown to Albus who have supported and continue to support Jon Tester. That loudly says a lot more.
Anecdotal "I know personally" views regarding politics usually fool you into a skewed perspective.

There aren't "quite a few folks" to know in Big Sandy. The 3 people you claim to "know" there, doesn't mean much.

If you like Trump, then vote for Sheehy. He praises and follows the leaderhip of a felon found guilty on 34 counts.

What a nation and state we have become with such really stupid political glittering generalities!

Best thing that could happen for Tester, is Biden getting replaced at the convention. With Biden fading so fast, don't see how the Democrats can even consider keeping him on the ticket. At this late point, the only options are Kamala, or RFK Jr. Going to be an interesting summer.

'Seems like opinions are like doe tags ... everybody has one!
 
When is Randy going to flush this nonsense? What good does arguing about politics provide to an outdoor forum?

I’ve never seen anyone change their mind by all the BS that gets thrown around on these subjects…
 
The problem with politics today is you are forced to vote for the party, not the individual. Both sides will vote down party lines, although it my opinion that democrats are far more united with this strategy than Republicans.

Politicians are willing to destroy their own state for the cause of the party.

So for me the question is, do I vote for the person that can get us a few token nuggets for our state once in a while, or do I vote against the party that will destroy this country for my grandchildren?

It's a lose lose decision, and it disgusts me.
