Yes in the end it will come down to what Jon “Obama Rubber Stamp” Tester has done.  Just what
has Jon “Obama Rubber Stamp” Tester been doing?  Well he’s been “Rubber Stamping” everything
Barrack Hussein Obama wants like shoving Obamacare/Testercare down our throats against our
will and balooning the federal debt by 5 trillion.

Thank god (just an expression), we have people like Tester and Obama. At least we have a
functioning government. What’s the alternative? Oh right, god, guns and no government.

Y’all can call criticisms of Senator Tester’s record ‘lame talking points’ if you want to. 

It’s not fair to characterize people who aren’t happy with Tester’s voting record as people who want
‘...god, guns and no government’.  I’m not happy with Senator Tester and I’m going to oppose his re-
election.  I think government has a important role to fill in our society.  I don’t affiliate with a party,
but if there was a ‘Common Sense’ party, I’d join it.

The fact is that Tester is a Democrat and he has voted like you would expect a liberal Democrat to
vote.  He has supported and voted for the ‘Obama agenda’ on every significant issue that has come
before the senate - the only notable exception is Tester’s support for the Keystone XL pipeline
project that the Obama administration has opposed.

Whether Tester’s support of the ‘Obama agenda’ is a good thing or not depends on your point of
view and whether or not you consider the ‘hope and change’ that has come out of Washington since
2008 to be a good thing or not.

Tester always votes with Obama unless the issue has enough votes to pass without him, then
Tester can keep Montana voters on his side by cosmetically voting against something unpopular
with Montana voters.  He apparently asks for Obama’s permission to do that to save his job and his
income.

Denny ‘Bush Rubber Stamp’ Rehberg.  He can’t even get his own sub-committee mark-ups out to the
Committee level, let alone onto the floor.

Just remember Jon “Obama Rubber Stamp” Tester.  Obamacare/Testercare and 5 trillion more
onto the national debt because of these two idiots.

Regardless of tester’s other rubber stamp actions, his voting “yes” for Obamacare WITHOUT READING
IT, remains an absurd abdication of his responsibility.  Worse, he voted “yes” without the possibility of
knowing the costs to us, the potential damage to our economy, or even the impact of this thousands of
pages fiasco complete with threats of penalties.  Sorry, but Tester is NOT responsible enough to be a
senator.

Besides this country NEEDS Obamacare. It’s already made a difference for the good of the county.
For example, it requires that some of the premium money, we all pay for, go for preventative
care. Another example, the insurance companies have to spend at least 80% on healthcare. Before,
they didn’t have to spend a dime and we all got to spend our time fighting the insurance
companies.  Being it on Tester and Obama.

You can keep your cement statue.

Tester will win re-elction and Rehberg will lose.  Take that to the bank.
