Thank you Senator Tester for an excellent summit.  Great job building public/private partnerships to support Montana business growth and development.  Prosperity comes from small business success.

liz, it is the public private partnerships that make a fascist government. I much rather prefer laissez-faire capitalism. You can keep your mixed statist economy.

Jon Tester scored a measly 10% from NTU.orgs most recent ratinghttp://www.ntu.org/on-capitol-hill/ntu-rates-congress/p10-02-18-ntu-rating-final-pages.pdf . He is anything but pro-business.

I find it rather telling of his lack of integrity. He talks pro-business, but his words and esp. his ACTIONS show that he is anything but.

Yes, thank you Sen. Tester. You truly are a beacon of hope and encouragement to your constituents. Except, of course, for those who have lost their jobs and suffer in this economy. Way to turn your back on them, senator.

Did you attend this event?

There is no need to attend.-Tester has made it more than abundantly clear his anti-business positions.

Glad to see the event was well attended.

While I couldn’t attend, from reading the comments on the Beacon’s previous article announcing the event, I was afraid no one would.

Ya really outta take advantage of opportunities, as they arise my fellow commentors - regardless of your politics.

Tester tries to cover all the bases, jumping through the proper hoops and hiding when things get too hot.  I like a few of the things he does.  I definatley think he went the wrong way on health care when a clear majority of Montana people were against it.  He proved he is an Obama yes man.  Oh, will Al Gore go to jail this time?

Mr “Constitutional Man”—those facts are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Just because they contradict your mythology and right-winger fantasies doesn’t mean they don’t exist as facts.

Typical crazy extreme right-wing fanatic. If the facts don’t suit your mythologies you shoot the messenger.

Are you saying that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is now a conspiracy? The extreme right-winger Republicans of Montana are starting sounding more and more like Ted Kaczynski
