Return of the Jedi

In 2010, the Empire struck back, hard. The Dark Side destroyed the Democrats, the first piece of sizable revenge exacted by the GOP ever since their Death Star (which had dominated the galaxy for two decades) was destroyed in the span of four years by Schweitzer, Tester, Bullock, McCulloch, Lindeen and Juneau.

The 2010 elections were bought, not won. There were millions of dollars brought in illegally by the GOP’s wealthy friends. Much of it was funnelled in by shell groups from undisclosed sources, and mostly by one particular front group called Western Tradition Partnership. This group is currently being prosecuted civilly in the Montana courts for their dirty 2010 campaign activity. Of the estimated million they brought in, none of it was reported nor the sources disclosed. In other words, we still don’t know who, exactly, owns the GOP-controlled Montana Legislature.

I’m told that the same shady GOP Darth Vaders who operated in 2010 were back at work this cycle, trying to buy themselves victories in city races around the state. They came up empty-handed, humiliated. Like John Sinrud, backed by the Montana Realtors, who wants to build high-rise condos and strip malls on farm land in and around Whitefish. Or Chuck Denowh, who is Rick Hill’s chief advisor but apparently took a hiatus to try to work some of the city races in the Flathead and elsewhere.

They were working hard behind the scenes trying to get victories. It hasn’t been calculated yet how many hundreds of thousands of dollars these losers spent on city commission races around Montana, but not a single Tea party candidate won election in Bozeman, Whitefish, Kalispell, Great Falls, Helena, Billings or Missoula last week.

    Yes, all true, but no thanks to the press! Ya know, every time that windy cyndi baker and her beau, cleve looney, dressed up in drag as patriots and passed gas, the GF Spitoon was there to sniff it up and REPORT it as news! I’m NOT freakin’ joking here! We were treated to their flatulence with ENDLESS and INCESSANT stories about what a unique political group they were in the making! In SPITE of the fact that anyone familar with these bozoa knew EGGsackly what they were all about! It was sickening.

    Hell, I tried like HELL to inform the Spitoon reporters that nearly ALL the reetard Teatards protesting in front of the courthouse were either retired military, welfare farmers, or just ordinary morons suckin’ LARGE off’n Unca Sugartit! But the Spitoon would have none of it! I blame their phyrric victory in 2010 on a phallic press! The press RESEMBLES the worthless dildos they are!

    And thus it continues. We are treated in today’s Spitoon with a story written by some dude name matt goulish or some such, who’s writing about Dopey Reeburp’s HB to give all our national parks to Homeland Screwity. SO, WHOM does mr. goulish quote? Take a freakin’ guess! Outta one freakin’ MILLION Montanans, WHOM does this dildo quote? If you guessed Pastord Chucky Cheesey Bulbdim you’d be right! When is the press ever gonna figure it out. We DON’T want to hear what every rightwing turd in the state has to say, matt!

    “Chuck Baldwin, a former Constitution Party presidential candidate who is now active in Montana conservative circles, criticized Rehberg’s support for the bill and recently wrote that the proposal gives “more power and authority to the federal government’s emerging police state.”

    HERE is your Montana press corp, folks. And matt, you get the Golden Dildo Award for today’s piss poor reporting! You deserve it, dude!

    I’m confident Montana voters are of the “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” state of mind when it comes to the TEA party.
    States where the right wingers captured legislatures all got a clear picture and the swing-back is already showing up in Wisconsin, Ohio and even Mississippi.
    The question is whether the Democratic party is nimble enough to exploit the situation.
    Personally, I like to see an independent elected as the next governor.

    @Cowgirl – you have never been accused of being “fair and balanced” and I know it is your intent to never be that.

    However, you might have mentioned the dirty tactics of the Main Street Advocacy group in the last election. Sen. Bruggerman and Rep. Ward attempting to influence elections. Perhaps $20k the local branch had to return as an illegal campaign contribution and the $10k that SEIU local 775 gave to the Main Street Advocacy local PAC. And those nice flyers that Ted Dick designed for them to use. And the money spent (check their C-6) on the 13 races they targeted (and lost most of them) “conservatives” and tried to get RINOs elected.

    The money flows both directions and you well know it. Deal with it.

      • MTCowboy

        Hal – I did not say that Ted Dick was behind the Main Street Advocacy PAC. What I did say was that he designed the flyers they used. See below for his involvement.

        See Exhibit D: (Notes by Mary Baker, supervisor, at the Commissioner of Political Practices Office)
        http://bit.ly/rtRP6o

        http://bit.ly/tGVTHh
        Here you can see where SEIU (who was the SEIU local 775 political director then?)donated $10k to the Western Traditional Values PAC a few days prior to the 2010 Primary (after it was determined that Main Street Advocacy was potentially not legal in this state, Rep. Ward formed a new PAC to do basically the same thing) and that money was used to buy radio ads advocating one candidate (the perceived “least conservative” or “more moderate”)over another.

        • Jack Ruby

          I got a good laugh out of that. Old Art Wittich (he of the law firm representing western tradition and attempting to overturn Montana’s campaign finance laws)wringing his hands about the supposed injustices being done to him by violations of those very laws.

  4. Lynn

    20K is chump change compared to what the Tea Party backers spent. Cowgirl’s right, we DON”T know WHO they are. That’s the Problem….I don’t care so much how much they spend if they were honest about WHO they are.

    If the Koch’s want to back a candidate, then the ad needs to say “paid for by the Koch Brothers” not Americans for Apple Pie….

    • MTCowboy

      Lynn – so then the ads paid for with money from SEIU should have said “paid for by SEIU” instead of the PAC that actually wrote the check?

    Mt cowgirl have the balls to say who you are and quite being a nasty fucker for the democrat party and tell the truth about the money laundering by the democrats you fucking pussy

  6. Gabby Johnson

    “Montana’s News Station(s)” are still running the Koch-financed anti-Tester commercial about the specious “dust” issue, even though their news departments have reported the commercial is a lie.
    I guess advertising revenue is more important, so the stations’ owners willingly participate in the GOP’s disinformation campaign.
    Or maybe the owners are just good, obedient Republicans, like the people running Lee Enterprises’ newspapers.

  7. Miller

    Whoa-we have this info because PACs are required to report donors-the law worked. WTP doesn’t report their donors–so we have no idea who is backing them. Wake up people.

  8. Jay Stevens

    Wow, and who gives money to MEA-MFT? not reported either or any of the other unions. BTW MT Cowgirl is still afraid to share who they are even thou they are posting from the Capitol. Perhaps are vindictive Governor or Eric Sterns perhaps is main squeeze. Come on Cowboy/girl tell everyone who you are or are you afraid of destroying such a untruthful nasty website that you control or are you afraid of being sued for slander? How are you or are you afraid that using state computers could send you to the slammer with Sandusky?

    • Havre Voter

      Not reported? Are you even aware what the MEA MFT is? Those who donate are its member teachers, that’s what a teacher’s union is. It’s not a conspiracy, its common knowledge.

  9. Jay Stevens

    Past posts by the blogger have even released on the Internet potentially incriminating Department of Labor enforcement documents sent to one of Schweitzer’s political critics – even before one of those letters was received by the businessman being investigated. The Labor Department said those documents were never released to a member of the news media or public.

    The blogger also has arduously defended the governor, and lampooned even those fellow Democrats whom Schweitzer has been at odds with – such as senior U.S. Sen. Max Baucus.

    The Department of Administration, provided with detail on the IP address of some posts, was able to identify that the blogger had been accessing – all day long at times – the state wireless guest system through a hookup in the Office of Public Instruction using an Apple Macintosh laptop.

    Jack,
    why should i be worked up – worked up over what salacious vicious rhetoric that I’m sick of. We should be looking at the health of our country and freedom and all Eric Sterns writes about is innuendos and pot stirring rhetoric. Lets start to discuss the real issues, freedom, oppression, truth, and the joys that come with living in this country. BTW no thanks I have tissue.

    • Rob Kailey

      Well then, Not Jay Ste(ph)ens, I can’t wait to read your strong denunciation* of the NYPD and Mayor Bloomberg-Moneybags for violating a court order in not letting the damn hippies resume Occupy Wall Street. But I won’t hold my breath …

      * or “refudiation”, a word you might actually understand.

  11. Jay Stevens

    I will have to tell my mother that the name she gave doesn’t belong to me anymore but another “Jay Stevens” (or Jay Stephens). I didn’t know that i was so popular that you all new me. by the way Rob you are the clown that gets paid by George Soros just like MT Eric Sterns (or the Gov. taking a little on the side). Destroy wall street was funded by one of the biggest crooks in the world Soros. Just take a look at his history and you support that clown, well i guess it makes you a complete idiot savant. Good luck with the destruction of capitalism and the rise of the iron fist.

      I’d bet your mom would be more disappointed that she raised a Troll. If she knew that you were a troll, she might be relieved to have the family name distanced: same old strawmen, fallacies disguised as facts and just plain bluster over actual knowledge. Hard to imagine a mom being proud of such low qualities in her offspring….dontcha think?

  12. Pete Talbot

    Maybe this guy’s name really is Jay Stevens but he isn’t the same Jay Stevens who founded 4&20 Blackbirds or used to write for Left in The West. How do I know? The latter Stevens was thoughtful and articulate, and was a skillful writer who understood the basics of grammar, syntax and punctuation.

    I kind of feel sorry for the guy commenting above — most everyone should be sympathetic toward a third grader suffering from a serious head injury.

  13. Jay Stevens

    Wow, all of these smart people commenting on a worthless website, I believe sets your intelligence bar pretty low and then to go after my mother even lower. However coming from such mindless morons or mindless government loving progressive communists gives me hope that the future of the free world will soon be run by better people and not from you ilk. However you idiot savants never discuss (debate) the issues, all you do is attach the person with personal attaches. Therefore I see that Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum was right you are collectivists idiots.

    • The Real Jay Stevens

      Hey, is your name really Jay Stevens, too? If not, it’s kind of uncool to use my name like this, especially given the content of your comments. I think my IQ dropped a point just reading this one.

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      Alisha WHO? OH, you mean Aynus Rant! Well, Gay Semens, you’ve read one book, Asses Plugged. NOW, dufus, list for the forum just TEN other books that influenced your thinking! WHAT???? You’re an uneducated moron??? You HAVEN’T read anything else??? You didn’t even complete HIGH school????

      Well yes, just as I suspected. You’re an uneducated idiot. What were your degrees in again?? I’ll wait. Tee hee. Too funny. See ya, loser. You’ve been outed! You’be got nuthin’.

    • hauserLake

      “Gives me hope that the future of the free world will soon be run by better people and not from you ilk.”

      Would that be the same better people that ran us into this hole & depression a scant 3 years ago with the same “Starve N Carve” philosophy packaged as trickle-down job creation? Those guys? OR the even fringier guys behind those guys using them as puppets? It’s amazing how divorced you are from reality and that you actually believe everybody should be as far off too.

      I don’t think anybody has attacked your moms. You brought her up – I actually assume the best of her …that she’d be disappointed in her Troll son/daughter/whatever.

  14. Steve Simpson

    Hey Trollie McTrollster –

    I believe that you’re Jay Stevens. And I’m the Queen of Sheba. Nice to meet you. Your arguments, your language, and your spelling leave much to be desired. Your trolling on this site seems rather personal and intense, revealing more about your pathetic lack of hobbies and gainful employment than anything else. Sigh.

  15. Steve Simpson

    Yes, that is one thing about us “idiot savant mindless moron collectivist idiots” I suppose. LOL.

  16. Rob Kailey

    Cowgirl, Jay’s name (Jay of LitW and 4 &20 fame) is actually spelled with a “V”. I changed it up because I doubt he wants Google searches for his hard and excellent work turning up the writings of this troll. Changing the troll’s handle to “anonymous” (or Trollie McTrollster) would likely help with that effort, and save you from having to post a disclaimer. I just thought I’d clarify that.

    That done, Not Jay Ste(ph)ens writes:

    by the way Rob you are the clown that gets paid by George Soros

    Nice try, but no. I’ve been attempting to get the Soros’ bucks that I feel Matt owes me, but he keeps holding out. And I hear that if you pull the covers up tight over your head, the SOROS under your bed won’t get you. If that doesn’t work, try a plastic bag pulled tightly over your head …

  17. The Real Jay Stevens

    It’s possible the “Jay Stevens” troll may actually be “Jay Stevens” — I remember seeing a Jay Stevens express these kinds of ideas on some conservative website.

    It’s all good, though. There’s no way this guy could damage my “reputation,” such as it is. I mean, it’s not like it takes more than three words to figure out it’s a different person…

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      DAMN! You just KNOW you’ve arrived as a blogger when some moron IMItates you! I keep hoping that some Aynus Rant hole will imitate ME! You’re lucky, Jay. You’ve arrived. You’re THERE, buddy!

        • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

          Thanks, Jay. You see, I’ve got talent on loan from a big fat bastard name of Flush Blimpaugh! The dude was my inspiration! We’re actually quite a lot alike. In fact, we went to different schools together.

          But we’re still very similiar. Flush dodged the draft with a CYST on his fat ass, and I went to Nam.

          Flush has been married THREE times, and is reported to be gay. I’m married once to the same woman for thirty-three years. (his third wife left him ’cause he could’t “consumate”. I consumate every night!)

          Flush couldn’t even complete ONE year of college. I have numerous degrees and speak numerous languages.

          Flush is a big fat lardassed bastard, and I run marathons and ultra-marathons. Have for forty years or so.

          Flush has NEVER worked a day in his life. I have done every friggin’ hard, dirty, dangerouse job Montana has to offer.

          BUT, we are still a lot alike. I borrowed my style from the big, fat, lardassed, lazy, draft-dogin’ puke name of Flush!

    Speaking of empire, here is some FB rants from Rep. David Howard, one of the scummiest storm troopers in the MT Leg.

    David Howard Why is it that this very Sick Homosexual is not call a Homosexual? (about Sandusky)

    David Howard Humm, what is unusual about the pro-infanticide group lying? Even their name is a lie. Planned Parenthood? The only thing they plan is death. To be a parent your child has to have a live birth. They kill the unborn!

    David Howard This is the truth the liberal press will not print. Please God, bless these people with being free from homosexuality, porn & sex addition.

    David Howard
    Cindy, It also helps the applicant for Democrat leadership; if they hate Christ, have had a homosexual relationship, divorced their spouse, and gave their children to the village. Then they can be counted on to love the ACLU, hate Constitution, to subject the American people to don’t ask, bend over, and don’t yell, and then believe in your heart of hearts that America can have prosperity by printing money and going further in dept. Wow, this person can be the leader of the Democrat Party!
