Have you ever been to Montana? The state is purple as fuck and full of hippies and Commiefornians, where dems have won statewide elections regularly for decades.When a Court Vetoes the People: It Happened in Montana
In Montana, the state’s highest court has asserted an absolute veto over what the people may add to their own constitution.
hoped montana would stay a worthwhile place. looks like it is going into the shithole like colorado. my FL remains on the edge.
I worked there around the same time cutting timber in the Mission Mts, around St. Ignatius. Lived in a tent up near the cut area, got snowed on the 28th of July.. Beautiful country, and then very conservative.
Not sure that it’s going commie just yet, especially if you look at the last elections.
That and making each newly arrived leftist feel as unwelcome & unsafe as possible.
Almost like the republican party isn’t a solution to the problem. It’s a shame so many are stupid enough to believe in the dem vs rep battle. It’s an illusion.
Red/blue. Doesn’t matter. Things may change if people would ever figure out what should be obvious. People are played as the fools they are.
Don't forget, the Governor is from New Jersey. Always touts the "outdoor lifestyle" he lives and he is the epitome of an out of state Fudd who probably has never hunted without a guide, or on public land. I have met him before prior to his governorship. Definitely has a "shit doesn't stink" attitude about him.
That becomes readily more apparent every day on a local level and national level. I even know a few staunch old rancher types on both sides of the aisle that are beginning to realize it.
Better to have a conservative, active in the tea party a few years back, who happened to be born out of state than a native born leftist sack of shit from Missoula or Bozeman.
That is termed "Voting for the lesser of two evils"...... That is how America got into this rabbit hole.
Easy, Nikki Haley.
You just made @Hobo Hilton point. It’s sad that you went into this amount of detail explaining your “choice”. People are stupid and will never learn.
No I didn’t, if the choice was Mitt Romney or big mike that would have been more in line with his point.
That may be true, but he still isn't from here. And he still can't get rid of that east coast accent. He is a developer and much like our Gov Gianforte, sort of created a "Montana" lifestyle persona. They never really lived it, just created it because they thought they would get style points. And it worked. I remember watching clips of an Orange Man rally in Great Falls and Don Jr was up there blathering on about sharing a hunting camp with Rosendale and some other political muppet. You could tell the masses just ate it up though and I was thinking about the only thing those guys shared was maybe using the same outfitter at some point.
So back the candidate on the other side that supports gun control and other degenerate shit?
Your summary is correct. I worked Heavy Industrial Construction, all over America. They were the big money, OT jobs. Always had hands on those jobs from Montana. Excellent craftsmen, great work ethics and always down to earth. At the beginning of big game season in Montana they would circulate by my work area, shake hands and let me know they were heading home to hunt. There was always an invitation to come and allow them to show me around. Eventually, I took them up on that invitation and I got a first hand look at what they always longed for when we were working.
I will say that was pretty funny.
Never. I am in the "lesser of two evils" camp. It's just the older I get, I see some real validity in the whole "uniparty" theory and it sure seems like politicians in general will just about do or say ANYTHING to get elected and then stay in office. I will give you an example:
that sucks. have some vg memories of kalispell but figure it being a ski bunny town it must have gone left like the bigger towns. tourism,arts,rich people's recreation have done much the same in FL.
Kalispell developed like a few of the other PNW towns. They kept the quaint down town and allowed the big box stores to locate between Kalispell and Whitefish. I still enjoy Kalispell between the summer tourist and the winter skiers.
Like Brad Garrett on "Everyone Loves Raymond" when Ray's wife says "What is wrong with you?"
Which is working hard to be the next San Francisco. Or have they achieved that status?
nbcmontana.com I visited Missoula while working in Mission. Got my leg repaired at St. Patrick's Hospital. Nice place then, but that was around 1976. Seems a lot has changed.View attachment 8289975View attachment 8289976View attachment 8289977
They are not homeless. In Missoula they are "Road Campers"...
Those living in hotels (at the taxpayers expense) are termed.... "Houseless"..
Officials face challenges with clearing occupied vehicles from Missoula streets
We first told you about a camper on Cedar Street after nearby residents reached out to us for help after feeling unsafe. After six months of parking on Cedar, the camper was cleaned up Monday afternoon. “I hope we can get it across to the community that we are actively working these processes...
It has and not for the better. A pity too as it’s a really nice area.
Hey man, that's my hometown! You are 100% right though, it's definitely got it's own vibe. Most of the folks I graduated High School with moved on to other places. I go back from time to time. I will say it's a breath of fresh air (moving at about 40mph from the Southwest) to go up there sometimes though. It may be weird, but its still Montana. Can't say the same for Bozeman and Missoula. The crime in Billings is pretty frickin bad too, definitely gotten worse.
