I just saw a new political add. I am not sure what they were going for.
It says “Brokeback democrats” and then talks smack about John Tester the democratic candidate for the US Senate race.
I don’t know what I think about that.
I am so sick of election season and the nasty commercials.
I would be nice if election season was like it was in high school. Easy promises like open campus and more vending machines. Campaign posters that say “Free Sex…now that I’ve got your attention vote for Jim!”
I am sick of comercials that say “he is a liberal” and they say liberal like “sex offender.” When did liberal become a dirty word?

Just so we’re clear, is open minded and tolerant a bad thing?
If you live in Montana, you better be voting on November 7th. Hopefully you’ll vote for the man who is open minded and tolerant and in favor of protecting our civil liberties.
