Comments on: Rehberg Holds Only Montana Town Halls

Baucus and Tester don’t have the guts to appear in front of Montana citizens and discuss the health care bill. Since Baucus is the main architech in the Senate version of the health bill, you’d think he’d be out here telling us all about the great things included in it. Because he’s not out here telling us how great it is, I have to assume he’s not to proud of what is in it. If it was so great he should be out promoting it everyday.

don’t worry - in a few years we’ll be done w/ rehbug and that’ll be ALL you republicans gone from elected state-wide office
then it’ll be morning in montana
and the nightmare will have then ended….
I hear Gov Schwitzer will run for rehbugs seat in 4 years if rebug manages to beat the 25 year old kid from missoula this time around….
then in a few years after that baucus will have the good sense to retire and schwitzer will take the senate seat…..if baucus doesn’t come to his senses and bow out - schwitzer will take him out in the primaries…...
and then as usual we’ll never see rehbug again - he’ll go work in dc for some lobbying hack firm like marc rascal - I won’t even bother mentioning the other idiot gov - martz - someone who made palin look like a rhodes scholar!

Denny is right to get out there and communicate with the citizens of MT. At least he is listening so that IF something comes along that he thinks is good for us he will have the knowledge base to vote intellegently. Not like Max and Jon who are hiding out and too AFRAID to answer hard questions.

It is very obvious why Baucus and Tester are not holding any type of townhalls. They know that a high majority of people are strongly against this socialized heathcare and if they appear in a townhall that will only give sound and video bites to the people that will run against them in the next election. I wish Baucus and Tester good luck when they go to stand in the unemployment line with the other millions of Americans after the next election.

the rightwingers above sound fine until you realize that mooseberry and montana marine are full of BS and wouldn’t know a fact if it bit them on the arse!
a current poll - which considering it was based on SCIENCE - I’m sure you “heads in the sand” righties won’t accept - says that Montana favors a public health care option.
AND what is most noticable about the poll is the age group that is MOST AGAINST the public option are the SAME ONES ON A PUBLIC OPTION! SENIORS!
Don’t you senior citizens realize how ignorant you sound when you give us - with gusto -
KEEP YOUR GOV HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE.
So if we took out the uninformed seniors that are ALREADY ON THE PUBLIC OPTION then there is a VAST majority of Montanas that favor a pulbic option.
AND if you seniors don’t want a public option then GIVE UP YOUR MEDICARE - we’d be a lot closer to balancing the budget if you did.
BUT we know that hypocrisy and republicans are 2 sides to the same coin.

Typical of a entitlement monger that hasn’t even read either the House or Senate health care bills - do you even know what’s in them, woody?
Try reading the legislation before trumpeting your hypocritical overtures on those who know differently.

there’s actually 3 bills in both the senate and house….
oh no - so wanting a system that actually reigns in the “Pay or Die” corporate controlled health care system makes me an entitlement monger?
that’s better than being a corporate apologist hack - defined by mussalini as FASCISM.
MAKING you a FASCIST!
I’ll line up on the side of TRUTH, SOCIAL JUSTICE and the interests of WE THE PEOPLE -
while JB and his minions will back the corporations over WE THE PEOPLE until the rapture comes-
where’s your next “Great White Hope” - and other rascist remarks by your republican party that basically destroyed the country.
Great Job righties!

Great, you can count…so can I. That doesn’t mean you’ve read them, woody.
The only problem with your logic is that at some point, the system runs out of money (if it hasn’t already)!!!
You speak of truth and social justice - what about FREEDOM and LIBERTY? Or does your freedom mean so little to you that you would give it up so that “daddy government” can take care of you?
That’s right, you weren’t doing anything with your freedom anyway….do you?? I’m sure an ACORN rep will be more than happy to vote for you!!
