It's Friday, and that means Rep. John Sinrud, R-Bozeman, is attack dog du jour for Montana Republicans--telling lies about Jon Tester. This morning Sinrud appeared on the state-wide Dave Berg radio program – always a 'fair and balanced' program – with a bucketful. Slop bucket, that is.
Partisanship aside for a moment, it is a fact that Montana actually needs leaders who will stand up for the embattled middle class and keep our state on the move with economic progress. John Sinrud, a reliable pitbull for corporate power first and last, is not one of them.
Sinrud has long been an enemy to economic progress in Montana, and has a record of working against Montana small businesses, family farmers and ranchers, and middle class Montanans. Since Sinrud is making an issue of what's good economic policy versus what's not, we are obliged to point out that he took every chance he could as a legislator to block progress on key business and economic development. Literally.
Here's the deplorable Sinrud record against our economy:
Sinrud voted against eliminating property taxes for 13,000 Montana small and medium businesses. [SB 48] He can bluster and throw dust in the eyes of Berg in the Morning listeners all he likes, but this is a fact.
Sinrud overwhelming opposed progress for Montana's ethanol industry and economic development for farmers and ranchers. Sinrud opposed legislation that would allow ethanol producers to earn up to $2 million a year by purchasing their grains in Montana. [SB 293]
Sinrud voted against Montana agriculture and consumers by opposing Country of Origin Labeling for our meat products. [HB 406]
Sinrud opposed Montana businesses and critical economic development for Montana by voting "No" on restoring the extremely successful "Made in Montana" program. [SB 329]
Sinrud opposed fostering Montana production of renewable energy and promoting economic development across Montana. He voted against Montana farmers and America's energy independence by opposing the use and development of biodiesel, and against wind energy incentives that would create jobs in rural Montana. [SB 415]
Sinrud voted against game habitat and access to public land for hunters and anglers. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation bring over $2 billion dollars a year to Montana's economy through tourism. [HB 79]
Sinrud voted against Montana family farmers by opposing legislation to promote rail service competition, forcing these family-run businesses to pay exorbitant monopoly prices, imposed by his special patrons at BNSF, to ship their grain to market. [HB 769]

It must be election season. We had a old feature on our website called Loon Watch. It's for purple prose that is a bit overwrought. Loon Watch hasn't been used in awhile. We're bringing it back for Kate.
Kate Reid, who a Republican who is running for the Legislature has written a letter to the Chronicle.
I recently read Bozeman's work force housing proposal. It reminded me of portions of the Communist manifesto. If you have not read it, then you should immediately, before the City Commission acts upon this housing plan and you lose something that you did not think you would in the free society of the United States of America.
Sooo our City Commissioners are Communists because they want affordable homes for the good folk that work in our fair city?
Instead of working together to help build a liveable community with suggestions and solutions, Kate is straight attack mode. Looks like we have another Sinrud/Koopman/Sales/Baleat/Warden Clone.
She's running against Represenative Brady Wiseman. Here's Brady's website

New virus threat
Similarly, ASMOV's infected ignored the fact that Presidents Carter and Clinton both conducted warantless wiretaps as part of presidential privilege. ASMOV is now making a full fledged attack in Montana where Sen. Conrad Burns is characterized as an evil lackey of Jack Abramhoff while news of all but five Democrat senators receiving Abramhoff cash, goes unreported.
Keep the night lights on
Ask: How could the Trade Towers be hot enough to melt steel when people were videoed waving from the impact area? Why did Building 7 implode when it wasn't hit by anything? and, Why is there a million dollar reward offered to anyone who can prove that the buildings were not brought down with explosives? Get answers and a free DVD from reopen911.org.
Finally, a favorite: Kerry White:
We must pass accessible lands on to our children
The only crisis that I see is the continued attack by environmentalists on the future of the human society.

Bush's actions, policies are absolutely good for America
Do we have to worry about him bombing an aspirin factory in Egypt to take the heat off oral sex in the oval office? Again, absolutely not.
The economy is good, we are doing well in the Middle East, our military is strong and the liberal judiciary is being forced from their positions.
Is all this good for America? Absolutely.

Fabricated?
How could those highly educated blue blood members of America’s upper class be outsmarted by a yokel from Crawford? Maybe they aren’t that smart after all, or maybe Democrats have been exposed and the American pubic is finally seeing the real buffoons!

Democrats help terrorists win
Osama and Zarqawi have to be sitting in their caves laughing at the notion that they can handcuff a mentally retarded child to a car, not knowing he himself is about to blow up in a crowd of children, and know the first response from liberal Democrats is it's not only Bush's fault, but America is to blame, also. Wow, that's leadership? How pathetic and utterly sad.
