Guns in Chruch! Really? Republicans Again? Figures!
As quoted from Jason Linkens @ the Huffington Post If you're like most Americans, there's probably been a time in your life when you've been sitting in church, listening to a particularly ennui-inducing homily or enduring another warbly version of "Holy Holy Holy" and thought, "Man! I could really reach for some steel right now, squeeze off a few rounds, and let these fools know what the score is!" Well, in Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal has recently signed into law a measure that would allow you to at least feel comforted by the presence of your gun in the house of the Lord.Read more at From the New Orleans Times-Picayune
Rehberg Sues Billings For Wildfire?????
"Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT), fresh off his Republican primary win, filed a lawsuit Friday against the City of Billings and the Billings Fire Department for damages sustained in a 2008 fire. Rehberg is the developer of record for the 1,000-acre subdivision that is managed by his wife.
The lawsuit, which seeks an award to be determined at trial, says that the fire department "breached its duty" during the July 2008 fire. The Rehbergs are claiming damages for the loss of trees and ground cover in an area they intended to develop.
Rehberg is not the first Montana politician to take on firefighters. Former Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) made headlines in 2006 when he had an airport altercation with firefighters flown in from Virginia following a 143-acre fire. Burns accused the firefighters of doing a "poor job" and not allowing ranchers to fight fires as they saw fit. Burns lost his reelection bid later that year.
Rehberg himself is no stranger to the legal system, as he has been involved in legal proceedings for the last year a boat crash led to felony alcohol charges against the driver, Montana State Sen. Greg Barkus."
Denny is only worried about his own pocketbook, suing Montanans for a wildfire (an act of nature not men). Is it the Billings firefighters fault or city of Billings? Shouldn't he be thanking them for saving what they could of his property, not penalizing his constituents? WE can do better then this Montana! Vote McDonald for our new Representative in Congress!

When are all of us Montanans going to grow up and get rid of this guy Rehberg? Aren't we sick of this drunk yet?
He hasn't written a single bill to protect Montanans for over a year! He is part of the Good old boy's party of "No" which has included no extended unemployment benefits for some of our population, still hit hard by the President Bush's financial melt-down of Wall Street in September of 2008.
