GOP's Rehberg to Challenge Tester in Montana
Wednesday, 02 Feb 2011 09:54 AM Article Font Size
By Dan Weil

Republicans will have another strong candidate to challenge an incumbent Democratic senator next year — this time in Montana. Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg will run against Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, The Hill reports.


Rehberg will officially enter the race this weekend, a Republican source tells The Hill. Roll call first reported his entry into the race was on Monday.

Rehberg is in his sixth term as the state's at-large congressman. He has a strong statewide profile and the capacity to raise a lot of money. This will be Rehberg’s second Senate race. He ran unsuccessfully against Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., in 1996, before he was elected to the House.

The most recent campaign filings show Tester with a slight cash advantage at the start of the year — $562,000 cash on hand to $553,000 for Rehberg.

GOOD!

at last count Denny is voting 90% constitutional ( up from 40-50% a couple years ago) so yes he needs improvments but he is showing progress! Ron paul is the only one that hits 100%!

Now tester's voting record-- 8-10% Constitutional
he has such a long way to go it is probably better to just replace him.

and as far as I'm concerned tester's vote for just even obamacare was a violation of his oath of office and reason for removal from office.

I won't even go into his betrayal of America and the Constitution with his votes of approval for sotomayer and kagan.

This is pretty much old news--as its been known for some time that he would run for either Governor or the Senate....And several days ago he let it slip that he would announce for the Senate....

Probably do much less harm in the Senate- as he's pretty much been known as a donothing Congressman...Major accomplishments have been stuffing his pockets/warchest with Lobbyiests money (even if the position was anti-Montana directed).....

My only disappointment is that Montana Republicans can't find someone that will run for the position that isn't a multimillionaire (one of the wealthiest in Congress)- born with a silver spoon- that has spent his life as a professional politician- never had to work a day in his life- and that got his fortune by inheriting his families wealth and is now selling their property off as ranchettes... :(

I wonder if this will get him to drop his lawsuit against Billings, and all the rural fire departments for not protecting his inheritance- while he was no where around to do it himself- and gave his employees the 4th of July holiday's off- leaving it to the government agencies to take care of him..... :???: :roll: :lol:

Well Hoppy--most landowners care for their own land and animals 24/7 or have someone hired to do it-especially in bad fire years or after a fire that needed babysitting-- and don't expect that the government (taxpayers) should give them special treatment over everyone else because of their wealth or political powers.....

And just for your info-(since you want to make everything personal attacks) when I worked for L.E.- we worked just like ranchers- on call 24/7- work when there was work to be done- didn't when you had free time...And we didn't get paid overtime- no matter how many extra hours you had to put in.....
And when I was tied up working L.E.- I had folks lined up to take care of the land and cattle-- and didn't expect the taxpayers to do it....

Rehberg is a poor example of most hard working Montanans- many of which have had to work multiple jobs- or had their wives working- just to survive or keep their farming/ranching operations above water at times- or pay their rising health insurance costs....

I see the other day where Rehberg has turned down the challenge made by many Montanans for him to not take the raise in cost the taxpayers now have to pay for his government paid for health insurance :roll: But it does not surprise me that you folks agree that we should be paying total coverage Top Class full health insurance coverage for a Repub multi-millionaire--- while many can't afford even the basic coverage....

And thats not counting the Thousands $ the taxpayers had to pay out for increased insurance because he took two of his employees on a drunken escapade and got them badly injurred... :(
But I'm sure that isn't his fault either...... :roll:

It's probably Bush's, like everything else.

Well now that you mention it- they both are kinda the same- both born with silver spoons in their mouths- that became professional politicians when they found out they didn't want to/or couldn't work for a living - and expected the taxpayers to pick up the bill and bail them out for their screwups!!! :(

OT when our fire company needed a new fire truck I wrote letters to Rehberg, baucus and then Burns.
I got letters back from Burns and Rehberg, but never heard from baucus. Giving us their support to get the grant for the truck.

At least Rehberg isn't wasting our tax dollars by having our sheriff's department chase deer off of an airport so that private corperate jet can land safely. Then sit there and babysit him til someone comes to pick him up.
Oh if testers equipment is any example of how he does things in Washington then he needs to be gone. We have his old bay handler. Poor shape and bad maintaince.

Isn't that an "EARMARK"-- "PORK" that all sworn "Teabaggers" have said they don't do? (Rehberg is now a "born-again" ********* :p :lol: :lol: )

Did the rest of the state get one at the same time- or Missoula or Yellowstone County- or were they trying to buy votes with spending more taxpayer dollars :???:

Doesn't sound very ********* to me......

Burns turned into a joke... Bigger drunk than Rehberg is.....I supported Burns for several years-- talked to him often on the phone- sat and had toddies with him...But he became part of the D.C. noon cocktail party crew- that could be bought out by any Lobbyiest waving enough money-- and now Rehberg has followed right into his drunken footsteps...

Doesn't sound very ********* to me......

IF I remember correctly, Tester's own county didn't vote for him...

Neither did Burns' - Yellowstone....Both Rehberg and Burns were/have been in there too long- and have found that using Pork- and stuffing their pockets with Lobbyiest money is above supporting Montana issues....

Montana must have a better (R) candidate than another one that is continually in the news for some drunken escapade- or the bills he turns in for taxpayers to pay for his parties...... :(

If they were only giving their support to a grant request or application and did not write the funding into a bill, it would not be considered an earmark. :roll:


Earmarks are funds provided by the Congress for projects, programs, or grants where the purported congressional direction (whether in statutory text, report language, or other communication) circumvents otherwise applicable merit-based or competitive allocation processes, or specifies the location or recipient, or otherwise curtails the ability of the executive branch to manage its statutory and constitutional responsibilities pertaining to the funds allocation process.

So you supported him for years, and even bent his ear over a few drinks, but were disgusted by him having drinks with others, so they could bend his ear.

Does that about sum it up?

NOPE- as time went by and he got more Seniority/Power- He sold out his country and a whole lot of taxpayers dollars supporting pork (most of which didn't benefit his state or country)-- just bringing in more of the Abramoff/Delay dirty Lobbyiest money...
Go read up the AG's report (Bush AG) on how they compromised the national security-naval security- and Mariana Islands security-selling out the Marianas to the Communist Chinese all for Abramoff/Delay Lobbyiests dollars-- and how Burns even as head of the Interior Committee- changed the Dept of Interiors rules to allow the richest Indian Reservation in the country (not in his state- which long ago he had abandoned them) to be funded for new schools and federal funds-- just to get more Abramoff Lobbyiest money...... :mad:

Biggest Pork disgrace to Montana in years--- runnerup to Alaskas Stevenson- and "Bridge to Nowhere".... Both alcoholics - bought out by the Lobbyiests- the same as Rehberg is........ :( :(

Montana can do much better- either R or D....

So who let OldHatemonger back in here to spread his infection?

See how he diverts away from tester and attacks Rehberg with his filth?
Tester needs replaced plain and simple- Rehberg has the best shot at it right now- so let's getter done! When someone better than Rehber comes along then we can replace him then.
Steve Daines might be a good replacement for Rehberg in the House.

Despite Old One's spin and doublespeak, I'd say Hypo hit the nail on the head. (Notice how everyone's an alcoholic, too. Maybe the booze is what's addled the few brain cells Old One has left....could the same malady he accuses others of having be affecting him as well?????) :???:

So oldtimer you are saying in all youyr yrs of L.E. you never had a day off?? You keep telling that lie and you will someday believe it!!!!
To say that ranchers never jhave a day off is absurd(kinda like you)
MY first post on this topic was no more a personal attack on you than yours was on Rehberg, now Burns, Bush, etc etc etd
Wonder just who the bigger drunk is YOU, Rehberg. Burns? YOu brag a lot about all the time you spend having drinks with ??Friends :roll: ?? at the watering hole :wink: :wink:

Back to your claim that Ranchers/cattlemen care for their property and animals 24/7 but are ther THERE 24/7??? if not how many hands do you have watching over your livestock when you go to town for your drinks at the waterhole???
You are still a hypocrite and that is one of your better points :wink:

how many ranches did Schweitzer sell off to get elected? in my mind anyone who is willing to do that cannot call themself a farmer/rancher but a failed farmer/rancher. but he didn't have to become a politcian to proove that. i think it is hilarious that tester and schweitzer sold themselves as farmers and ranchers when both of their families have said they were never so relieved to be out of production agriculture.

Burns played a huge part in bringing Montana into the 20th Century.
He pushed for telecommunication in rural areas and succeeded, so not everything he did was bad or pork laden.
