Back in 2006 the GOP basically gave up on supporting Sen. Conrad Burns due to unfounded allegations of ties to Jack Abramoff which have since found to be groundless.
This also brings to questions rumors of an Operation Montana Chaos where supporters for Sen. Max Baucus crossed over and voted in the GOP primary for the weakest candidat Bob Kelleher who has run for office as member of the Green Party, Libertarian Party and Democrat party in the past.

Isn't this the same governor who at the Democrat convention in Denver told Fox news that they were just a bunch of ignorant somethings?
Can someone repeat what he said because it was rather harsh against Fox.
BTW; Isn't he a rather fat little turd looking fellow.

Hall said Schweitzer boasted in the speech that "he designed a plan to threaten poll watchers on Indian reservations, personally applied pressure to the elections officer in Butte/Silver Bow while the votes were being tabulated and manipulated the media for purposes of diminishing a call for a recount." Schweitzer apologized Wednesday for these remarks in his speech to the American Association for Justice and denied interfering in the election.
First many criminals are caught after bragging about their crime. Two this man has no respect for Montanans to say something like this if he did not do it. Shameful either way.

"I was just joking around and making it colorful," Schweitzer said. "I can now see it was offensive to some people, and Im deeply sorry if I offended anyone."

Sorry had to repost with proper italics.

he is completely a turd looking fellow. He is from Havre and clearly is all over himself at all this attention. Very partisan. I am surprised Montanans like him so much.

The Democrats have done to Indians what they have done to Blacks! And STUPID Indians and Blacks LOVE voting for their own demise.

I thought Obama was “organizing” in Illinios, not Montana.

Some joke.
According to one very reliable source I know, poll watchers were physically threatened by groups of thugs after they saw and tried to intervene against election workers sifting through ballots on the Blackfeet rez, tossing out GOP votes. They left as instructed in fear of their safety.
The outcome was something like 4,000 to 100 in favor of Tester at one precinct.
This story made the rounds the week of the election. And, as I say, it was no joke but a commentary as business as usual on the rez. Now if such behavior was reported to law enforcement and no action taken based on instructions from Gov. Blowhard in a bolo tie . . .
In fairness, I must add I did not witness the allegations and only mention them because Schweitzer himself brings up the topic. To him of the huge face, it’s a joke. To me, and a lot of Montanans, he’s the joke.
If this story ever was investigated, we might have a new gov this election cycle.

The American Indian is another sad story similar to the American black — Indians’ heritage was one of independent self-supporting survival. They have now been turned into wards of the goobermint. Thus of course, they vote Democrat.

I wonder How Todd Palin being a native American affects all this?

“I wonder How Todd Palin being a native American affects all this?”
If you ever want to see some really rampant, vicious down-and-dirty racism, go hang at your neighborhood rez.
Right after targeting the good old reliable Whitey, the local Tribe doesn’t have much use for any...and I mean ANY...other tribe. Especially if it might affect the amount of money their pet politicians deliver to them for their votes.
Run on down to the Crow reservation and mention that Palin is Native American, the first question will be “What Tribe?”. If the answer ain’t Crow, he ain’t sh**.

Let me explain in a few words what has been happening for decades in places like Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Liberal d!psh!ts emmigrate from places like California and begin to adversely affect the demographics.
There are two types of Californians (not the only place these d!psh!ts come from): those who move in and want us to be become like CA, and those who move in because they want to live like we have for 150 years. The second type are welcome.

When obama was in Billings he went to the Crow, made an honorary member. They gave him an honorary name, can't think of it now, but the locals call him white eagle. Brian, Jon and I'm sure Max are also members. If you're a ranking dem it's almost automatic to be a member. Wonder if they also get put on the dole. all you see is obama stickers.
Brian has done a few good things, not going along with the fed drivers license being the best. but as with any dem everything is calculated. maybe this news will help but i don't think so. So many libs have moved into Mt. that i don't have a lot of optimism. It's hard to tell if it's a guy or gal by the tracks in the snow anymore around here.
