GOP Game Change?

Montana Republican Neil Livingstone say he and his running mate are now prepared to being “pouring more of their own funds” money to win the Governor’s seat, the Flathead Beacon reports.   Livingstone is clearly hoping that his personal wealth and his background as a businessman will set him apart in a crowded field at a time when voters are concerned primarily about the economy.

Breaking out of the Republican pack will require two things. First, money.  Second, a willingness to compare yourself with other candidates, not just tout your own virtues. In the Beacon article, Livingstone shows he isn’t afraid to do the latter:

“Rick Hill has had two years to put it away and he hasn’t done it,” Livingstone said. “That’s why there are 10 candidates running.”

and

“I’m the only candidate who has actually run a large organization,” he said.

    HOLY CRAP! Beam me up, Scotty. QUICK! I assume that that is candidate Livingscam in the pic behind Zinke in the Flathead article. He looks like some sort of bizarre Klingon outta Star Trek! Sorry, but I can’t VOTE for no Klingon! For you see, that’s what you get when you use lousy toilet paper. KLINGONS!

    Hey, Lar, seriously, what CEO dude’s gonna shut down a successful company unless….it wasn’t. Yeah, the iceberg cometh in the night with nary a scratch on it as you sit in your comfort-zone blog-booth and spout. Tell me somethin’ that ain’t alredy plastered up on the internet. That is, if you can get out of your booth.

    Yeah, Lar, you confuse cockroaches and cowards. Cockroaches just go about their biz, managing very well their survival. Cowards, the more devious and dangerous, will sneak up on you in broad daylight. Especially the two legged variety.

      Wrong AGAIN, Whizz. Here, here’s a MUCH better definition of la cucaRACHa! You do speak Spanish, don’t you? bwahahaha! Because you “grew up in Cuba”, wasn’t it? A cockroach is a guy who LIES about having a PhD., a guy who worms his way outta Nam, a guy who sleazes his way into profiting from wars after ADVOCATING wars, a guy who is a general all round SLEAZE ball who HELPS other sleaze ball criminals, a guy who has NEVER produced or done anything in his entire life except live from one scam to the next! Sound familiar? It should.

      And a coward? Well, that’s a guy who hides behind a screen name while spouting. Simple, isn’t it?

      And you, Constable Dogberry, “are far too clever to be understood!”……..but you are a funny little fellow none the less.

        HEY, ever try some spray on hair, dude, so’s you don’t look quite some much like a phallicky Klingon there, spider man? Just a thought. Folks might take you more seriously.
