It has been rumored for some time that the liberal “Democrat Party Lite” wing of the Montana
Republican Party, led by Bruce Tutvedt, was going to band together with the tax & spend Democrat’s
in the legislature and the governors office to give the Democrat’s what ever they want this year. 
Lookout taxpayers…Here come the “Republicrats”.

Amazing….one senator looking at his i-phone, another on his i-Pad and one having lunch.  And
that’s only the 4 other Senators that we can see.  Their attention level is amazing.

These people who call themselves “Reagan Republicans” want to spend more, they oppose school
choice, and they would rather never talk about abortion. Just curious… have any of them ever actually
read anything about Ronald Reagan?

The problem with King Tut calling himself a “Reagan Republican”, is that Reagan wasn’t a RINO.

It was just announced on the news that there was a major earthquake felt in southern California.  The
story was immediately retracted however when the cause of the shake was discovered to be Ronald
Reagan turning over in his grave when Tutvedt announced that he was a, “Reagan Republican.”

Reagan raised taxes, in 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987, and the national debt tripled in his
first term.
Many people forget that.
In any event, his actions as judged by today’s Republican party would label him a RINO.

Ya know, it is truly wonderful to bring up stuff from the 1980’s or so.  ya know stats, hits, runs
errors.  Kinda like baseball cards.  Remember them?  but it really doesn’t address anything about
the communist dictator wanna-be in the Whitehouse now.  Have ya caught the tantrum side of King
Obama?  Oh yeah, we’ll hurt all those Americans every where we can ‘cause they didn’t stop my
sequester plan.  Doesn’t he remind ya of Chavez?  Or maybe he reminds ya of the dog piles along
the sidewalks.

How far to the right has the GOP gone that Tutvedt is considered to be a RINO, it wasn’t that long
ago that Bruce was considered to to be on the right’s fringe, now he’s to liberal for them. No wonder
the GOP is going the way of the Whig party. The problem is the further to the right the rethuglicans
go they pull the Democratic party further to the right to fill the vacuum they left. I guess I’m going to
have to change my screen name as not to long ago I was an Independent but now I am a
mainstream Democrat.

Perhaps this bipartisan collation will just focus on doing what is best for Montana, and not worrying
about who is further to the right or left.  I hope Tut is on track and the effort will be about “having the
majority do the right things for the right reasons”.  I personally am fed up with the extremes in
politics.

Congratulations inthemiddle.  Now that you are a “mainstream Democrat”, you are eligible for world
class “Castro/Obamacare’ on the island paradise of Cuba…And guess what…You are in luck…I heard
a bed just opened up!

I’m paraphrasing Henry Ford- When Mr Ford was asked what was one of the biggest problems with Americans
He said they just don’t think. Some years ago I notice that most people are educated by the media ( left or right )
, friends , co-workers , or the man that stands up front on Sunday.  Think for your selves people.
