Hey Shoot's Straight

We weren't in debt before the Iraq war?

Seem odd.

Nemont

grammar nazi.

BS did more damage to land owner/sportsmen relations with the bison issue than any previous Governor and will take the next couple to fix. Lets not even take a look at Spotted Dog.

Tony,

Do you think the UPOM crowd bears any blame for this? It's not sportsmen trying to push 150 bills a session against wildlife, is it.

 

[tjones]

Some ya but more fell on BS and his bison, but I think you all ready know this.

Oh and his goofy TV ads with the bandits loaded up backwards on the horses.

Oh Please. Here is what Schweitzer said:

“If you were just a regular person, you turned on the TV, and you saw Eric Cantor talking, I would say—and I'm fine with gay people, that's all right—but my gaydar is 60-70 percent,”

Up until a year ago the MT GOP had within their platform to criminalize homosexuality.

That's the primary reason a Republican would likely be getting a different reaction. Typically, they aren't "fine with gay people". Quite the opposite.

Sorry but my my comments aren't Moncentric when the discussion is about possible POTUS aspirations.

And that's fine. The point remains.

Nationally, the GOP is pretty much on par with the MTGOP when it comes to their views regarding "teh gayz".

I think they'll play well in Texas. After all, the Texas GOP thinks you can "pray the gay away."

Seriously? How you can take 400 bills over 6 years like the ditch bill, HB 42, the bad wolf bills (and the GOP's work to try and stop Simpson-Tester), gutting habitat Montana, Missouri River Breaks tags, no net gain, etc, etc, etc and compare that to BS wanting bison on Spotted Dog is kinda messed up.

Pretty hair Perry is a whole nuther Schweitzer warning buzzer quote.

Not that there's anything wrong with pretty hair.

If you mean they don't suck up purely for votes, I agree.

I do wish I had his hair. It's magnificent.

Here is a more comprehensive article:

favorite:

Stephanie Schriock, a former Montana Democratic strategist and the head of Emily's List, an organization that boosts female candidates, said Schweitzer “owes Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Eric Cantor, the men of the South, LGBT Americans, and women everywhere an apology.”

“But,” she added, “I don’t want to suggest he continue talking.”

If he'd learn to not speak his mind he might be a decent president.

..and his hands rival George Costanza's.

Really Ben? Those type of bills come every session and did long before you and BS got here. You saw the signs all across eastern MT, including all around the Marias. His bison chit show cost sportsmen access and hurt landowner relations. No deny that.

I wasn't talking bison on Spotted Dog I was talking the state acquiring it and the benefits for BS.

I understand that. That's what makes it so preposterous to think that it was BS who was the tipping point.

Those signs have been up since the 80's. So has the push to privatize wildlife. BS is a sideshow & while his heavy handed approach didn't do anything to help in that regard, to put that much onus on him ignores the culpability of the other side.

It's like saying Russia was right to rape and pillage across Germany during WWII because the Nazi's did it.

(Man, I gotta quit watching Nazi documentaries.)

The Nazi documentaries must be affecting your memory too. I would love to see bison back but the way BS handled it could not have been more wrong.

When the big-game rifle season opens Saturday, hunters on some northern Montana lands may find themselves caught in a crossfire.

More than 70 landowners have published their names in ads in the Glasgow Courier and Malta's Phillips County News over the past few months announcing that their lands would be closed to hunters until the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks drops its plans for releasing bison onto public lands.

 

[tjones]

Again I do not agree with the way land owners went about things, BS trying to steam roll the bison issues was, well, bs.

One "oh chit" cancels out all the "atta boys."



Not from the 80's.

 

[RobG]

never mind...

 

[Ben Lamb]

How much of that was manufactured outrage Tony?

I saw quite a few of these and other similar signs last fall in the areas I hunt. The funny thing is most of these same places either only allowed family and a few select friends to hunt, or they are leased by an outfitter. I know this isn't the case everywhere, but...:W:
