And I thought it couldn't get worse than the GOP who are presently trashing Montana. Wow! I can't imagine why any decent upstanding person with a shred of self respect would cling to that party today. I fully expect the Republican party to disintegrate and split before/during the next presidential election. It may take the GOP a while to get rid of the fringe trash and back on its feet. But there ain't much hope for a politically balanced and safely sane America if it doesn't.This -
Crazy R like a fox.
The Lt Gov (aka Hedley Lamarr) forced Governor Little to rescind her Executive Order, which she will certainly use to call him the enemy of liberty during her campaign.
For her part, if you keep posting selfies with fringe groupers to your social media, and then taking it down because, "...it caused people to make comments about me which are not my true character.", you might need to examine your true character.
For those not familiar with the minutiae of Idaho politics; when Governor Little was out of state in May, Lt Gov McGeachin issued an Executive Order removing all mask mandates from the State of Idaho. Governor Little then reversed it on the grounds that it had already been a bill in this legislative session and failed a floor vote, and that the policy of the State of Idaho is not to overrule mandates from local governments. The concept being that the government closest to the people governs best.
Living near to Moscow in Latah County, I get that we are all tired of masks, but McGeachin was not thinking of freedom and liberty. She was pushing the Governor into a box she can hang around his neck come election time.
BTW - If you collide with a moose in Fremont County, remember that IDFG and IDOT did not push migration corridor overpasses in Island Park for the same reasoning of not forcing localities into line with State policy. The good people of Fremont County prefer their property aesthetics over public safety and science driven game management. Said County Commissioners resolving by vote to have no wildlife highway crossings in their beautiful piece of Utah. ( Oh sorry, I mean Idaho. ) I don't know or care what they think about masks. I'm not going to Island Park, I might hit a moose. I suppose I could be convinced to go down there to set up a spotter surveillance to try to get that $40,000 reward for the Island Park serial grizzly poacher. (Thank Ryan Callaghan for showing them where to look in a conservation YouTube about IDFG grizzly work. Ironic, no? )
@TheTone is right. McGeachin needs to be shut down at the primary because there are a lot of R's who will vote for her in the general election even if she were running a brothel and selling bootleg liquor out the back door. It has yet to be seen if Paulette Jordan is going to declare for the Democrats. Who else, Lauren McLean ?
I do not think she can touch Gov. Little if he runs again. Most reasonable people seem to understand that he had a difficult line to walk regarding the pandemic. I do worry that the reasonable people don't vote sometimes. But then I was in Lemhi County last week. They would wrap her in Gasden and "F$@k Biden" flags and put her on a pedestal.
