Rehberg Visits Campus to Leave Students with…His Trash

As students around the state head home to summer jobs in hopes of saving up enough to pay for another semester, the message they got from Dennis Rehberg is that he could care less.

Rehberg, who called Pell Grants the “welfare of the 21st Century”,  was on campus Friday at the Gallatin County Lincoln/Reagan Dinner.  He did not use his visit to back away from his anti-student position nor did he apologize to students for his idiotic remarks. Instead, Rehberg came to their campus and broke the rules–littering the campus with Rehberg campaign signs.

The first photo, taken by Cowgirl campus tipsters, shows a Rehberg sign on campus. The second pic shows the cops telling Rehberg’s people to pull them down.


Basically, this is just another dick move from Rehberg. He doesn’t care about the campus. He doesn’t care about the campus rules. He doesn’t care enough to bother to pretend like he cares.

Dennis Rehberg probably doesn’t even care that his views, his campaign, and his garbage aren’t exactly a welcome site on campus.

The GOP dinner was apparently the only thing Dennis Rehberg did this weekend. While Jon Tester was busting his hump holding public meetings in Missoula and speaking to graduates at Montana Tech, Rehberg was holed up talking only to his party faithful. That seems to be all he cares about.

    Interesting. I saw Rehberg in Missoula Saturday at Bike for Shelter, an event for Watson Children’s Shelter that had a crowd of 600+. He was very well received being a long-time supporter of this cause, and Missoula couldn’t have built the shelter without his help. Guess the real story is that Rehberg hit multiple cities in Montana last weekend, mingling with the masses, while Tester was holed up in some low-profile public meeting with ax grinder constituency, which I think he already has sewn up.

      “Without his help?” You must be saying that the Tea Party caucus’ #1 earmarker kicked down some government pork, Connie Burns-style. Unless you would like to elaborate further?

      Yea right private fundraisers is all Rehberg’s good for, plus telling whopper fish stories without a even the puniest of fish or a Photograph to prove it!

      Case and Point: His emails which are some of the biggest pile of …. well you know I have ever read. telling people…. bills like his “Kids just want to ride” are about to become law. A bill still sitting on the committee table it first land on back in January of this year???

      The man knows how to sell a terrified crowd gas masks, but he doesn’t know how to make common sense decisions for the masses of Montanan’s he is supposed to serve!

    Finally, Tester holds a public meeting! Remember when we didn’t see him for over a year during the Health Care debate? He was literally hiding in his office in D.C. while Rehberg was holding listening sessions in communities across the state. The last thing you can accuse Rehberg of is hiding from the public. I last saw him at City Club in Missoula, a liberal haven but a good place for public discussion, even if slanted. Rehberg had a lot of guts to go there and showed he will go anywhere and listen to anybody. You can’t represent all of Montana if you won’t listen to half.

    Tester refused to talked to me after I told him I’m a Republican. I was being very friendly too. I just wanted to chat about a few issues that are important to me. I wasn’t bashing or being rude. He simply refused to even hear me out. The guy is an egomaniac, afraid of any and all criticism.

      I have NEVER recieved an answer when I have contacted REhberg by e-mail or snail mail, at least Tester and Max reply

      “I just wanted to chat about a few issues that are important to me.”

      Geez, now ALL the Pubes think that they’re Joe the Plunger! Are YOU the new joe the plunger, cupcake? BHWHAHAHAHAHAA!
      For the record, joe, just WHAT were the issues that you were so desperate to talk to Tester about? You see, Joe, you reek of lying, dude! Easy to come on a blog and spout, but a lot harder to back it up! Now, how ’bout a detailed account of your supposed interaction with Tester!

      Sorry, Joe, but I gotta call bullshit on this one. You’re makin’ it up as you go, buttercup. And it shows!

    No, If you really wanted to talk to him you wouldn’t have told him what party you are from first. you would have just asked the questions Dummy!

    You were trying to make a statement first, and your questions therefore must not have been that important!

    Yawn! another Political Hack is all you have become, when your neighbors needed answers

      SDGFP has been systematically exterminating its cougar population that had been discouraging wolves from migrating into the state.

      Stupid red state.
