Ok \u00e2\u20ac\u201c my grasp of the obvious is probably pretty normal, but I have to admit my grasp of the subtle might be a touch slow. Eventually, however, the switch turns on and I, too, am blinded by The Light. This morning I experienced this phenomenon while driving to work: John Morrison was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Liebermanned\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by the extreme left wing of the Democrat Party! Or maybe John Tester was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lamonted\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
Either way, the good people of Montana have been slimed by an insidious group of extremist liberals who are hijacking the majority – moderate – element of the Democrat Party. <\/p>\n
Think back to the Howard Dean presidential campaign in 2003. Remember all the media hoopla about the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grassroots momentum\u00e2\u20ac\u009d? Come to find out, the grassroots were actually pretty shallow, but they had been fertilized abundantly by the likes of Michael Moore, George Soros, David Sirota, MoveOn.org, and the Hollywood elite. The fertilizing has continued.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to last spring: John Morrison, a well-known, respected, competent candidate was believed by most to be the likely choice for winning the Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Conrad Burns. Conventional wisdom and all the polls showed him comfortably in front of the heretofore fairly anonymous, flat-topped, flop-gutted John Tester going into the last month of the campaign. But by May, the local political grapevine had blossomed with rumors of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153women\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153scandal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in conjunction with Morrison. By June, Morrison was toast, and John Tester was the new darling of the national Democrat Party, feted around the country – from Washington DC to San Francisco – as the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153likely senator from Montana\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, courtesy of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grassroots efforts\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n
Anybody with me here \u00e2\u20ac\u201c starting to see a little \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fertilizer burn\u00e2\u20ac\u009d? <\/p>\n
Compare that scenario with Connecticut. Joe Lieberman. Mr. Democrat Himself. Willing even to sacrifice his personal credibility to the Party by accepting the V.P. slot on the ticket with that ol\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Internet Inventor, Al Gore. So now the grassroots pull the grass right out from under him this year because he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t abandon his principles to the extent of repudiating his position on the War on Terror. Welcome Ned Lamont, another new darling of the DNC!<\/p>\n
Just who is this DNC? From all indications in Connecticut, it sure isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the mainstream democrats! Look at the latest poll numbers that show Lieberman still has the support of most of the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s democrats who have elected him to represent them for the past however many years. <\/p>\n
Maybe those little rumblings we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting to hear around Montana – \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just who is this John Tester, anyway?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – are, in fact, the regular Montana democrats waking up to the fact that their party is being held hostage by the same Left-Wing Nuts behind Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Ted Kennedy. John Tester isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so much a “real Montanan\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the unsuspecting dupe of a high-powered political machine that is pouring a pot-load of money and effort into what may be the only hope they can salvage for victory this November since even the East Coast democrats seem to have figured out who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s who and what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what in the Democrat Party!<\/p>\n
Hopefully, Montanans aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t more gullible than the folks in Ohio, New Hampshire, or Connecticut. As the light starts to shine a little brighter on where the Tester seed money really is coming from, I suspect that the rumblings may turn into the same kind of rebellion that stopped Howard Dean in his tracks and is threatening to thwart the Lamont conflagration. <\/p>\n
The last thing Montana needs in Washington is a member of the choir at the Church of Liberalism. If John Tester is elected he will be a wholly owned subsidiary of MoveOn.org, from whence cameth his support. <\/p>\n
I remember when I was going to college and my father used to tell folks he was sending me out East (Billings!) to finish my education, so I could learn how to say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fertilizer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d instead of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bulls__t\u00e2\u20ac\u009d when I was confronted by the stuff.<\/p>\n
Appears to me that the Montana democrats are now up to their grasses in fertilizer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
