The Governor of Montana makes sense but

[RangerHAAF]

I'm sure that hard headed Democrats in Washington don't want to hear it.

The Governor of Montana makes about the most sense that I've ever read when it comes to Democrats talking about guns. The big city/Washington Dems should heed his advice but I know they won't. Oddly enough he's giving them the formula to win back what they've lost but they're not going to listen to a rustic hayseed like him.

Again he misses the point. The problem is not the phrasing of the message, it is the message itself.

And that will not change as long as the NE dinner-party group is running the democratic party. It will be another generation before the Democrats lose the socialist one-worldism and start winning elections again.

People didnt vote for Bush because they liked his accent. They voted for him because they disliked Kerry and his policies.

This guy is a collossal phony.

I make this decision by just reading how much he loves Howard Dean and Bill Richardson and how he doesn't "have a need to carry my religion on my sleeve. It's something I have in my heart". That is code for "I can talk all religious when necessary, but I am too smart to believe all that hokey nonsense".

That is what J Fonda Kerry said as I recall. It's always in their heart.

Oh yeah, and he must have been reading DU because it was eeeevil Karl Rove who told the dumb hick Montanans that J Effin K was a bad man even though he opposed gay marriage too.
How Rove managed to implant that thought into these dumb bunnies' heads is not explained. But it couldn't possibly have been simply that J Effin was a wealthy elitist gigolo and notorious socialist and the Montanans are smarter than that.

This governor has nothing but contempt for his people and is obviously working on being a new BJ Klintoon.

I wonder how he fits his tinfoil hat under his Stetson?

Read the article again, and note all the references that paint his constituents as apathetic, gullible morons. The guy is a superficially clever, but colossally insincere, "populist" poser.

And making statements to a journalist that strongly imply that you think your constitutents are retards is not too bright, either... even if one could infer that fact from their voting for you.

The guy has a pretty good handle on the electorate. I'd estimate that a good 70% or more fall into what is often referred to as the great unwashed masses. Those folks, mostly only HS educated, busy livin' and not worry'n about anything else don't waste a lot of time thinking about politics and don't really care. They vote once every four years and most vote the way the media tells'm to vote. The governor of Montana seems to understand that and seems to have used that very realistic take to his advantage.

That said - I really liked this particular quote - especially if it is true:

Frankly, is al-Qaida coming to Montana? It would be a bad idea for them to come here. To start with, if they show up here and start making some trouble, somebody's just going to shoot their asses and ask questions later.

Montana - my kinda place - my kinda people.

I usually become very suspicious about anyone who is fixated on projecting an "appearance" of "authenticity."
