Hill’s Dubious Achievement

Today former Congressman Rick Hill has earned quite a distinction–just probably not one he wants.  Hill was named to the national League of Conservation Voters’ state “Dirty Dozen” list, which includes 12 of the most anti-conservation state-level candidates in the entire country. Hill has a horrible conservation record from his time in Congress, as you can imagine.

Those who make the  ”Dirty Dozen” list have a history of losing elections.  Two years ago, former State Sen. “Big Oil” Roy Brown was named to the LCV state Dirty Dozen list, and after an aggressive, targeted field campaign by opponents, Brown lost his election to Sen. Kendall Van Dyk, a Billings sportsman. In 2006, former Sen. Conrad Burns was named to the national Dirty Dozen list and was defeated by U.S. Senator Jon Tester, who is an organic farmer.

But while Hill can’t be two pleased about making the “Dirty Dozen” list,  its certainly good news for democrats.  It means the list electability problems Rick Hill is piling up keeps growing.

    Clearly this natl ranking is based upon Hill’s horrible conservation record as a member of Congress. The stench of the Congressman’s Washington tenure continues to plague him. We should reject his application to be our Governor and suggest another stint in DC, perhaps this time as a lobbyist. He’s qualified and the smell would fit.

    Hill was an abominable congressman – he just did what the polluters asked. How much you wanna’ bet Rehberg is on this list too?

    The League of Conservation Voters is nothing more than a far left anti-jobs group. Their Dirty Dozen list is a big yaaaaaaaawn.

      Uh huh. You a real working man there, cupcake? Methinks that ALL the big talkers like you are working man wannabees who COULDN’T get a job if their lives depended upon it! You see, cupcake, if you can’t get a job in today’s market, it’s simply because your a LOSER, dude! It AIN’T up to society to provide all you losers with jobs. Your inadequacies precede you, cupcake! And it shows.

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Montana’s own Ms. Oily Tits (orly taitz, israeli woman who gave birth to birtherism), our OWN Mr. Oily Tits man, little jer jer molen traitor man, would be just SO proud of Kansas!

    How ’bout it, Oily Tits man? There really IS sumthin’ different about O’Bama, isn’t there? Sumthin’ that makes a little Oily Tits man like you just SO suspicious of his “values”! And heck, O’Bama wears his values on his sleeve for the whole world to see, BLACK values! DARKY values! The OTHER values! Right Mr. Oily Tits man?

    bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    What a freakin’ dipshit of a traitorous little puke of a man! When is Mr. Oily Tits gonna do a “documentary” on MITTwit’s values? I guaran-frickin’-TEE you that O’Bama’s values, whatever that might mean, are one HELLUVA lot closer to American values than Mitten’s MORMON values! I didn’t see O’Bama’s ancestors attempting to secede from the union with all their wives!

    From Schindler’s List to Swindler’s Shit! What a freakin’ buffoon Mr. Oily Tits man is! Sometimes, a guy does something SO stoopid and malicious in life, that it outlives him and defines who he is! Molen will FOREVER be mr. oil tits birther boy! Good job, mr. oily tits!

    Here is the thing though he can claim he is creating jobs, and that he is for job creation in the natural resource sector. So in this year being named to the dirty dozen may not be a bad thing and it might shore up his base.

      You have a point that should be considered, Farmboy. Jobs (and especially jobs in the natural resource sector) are likely to be the number one issue here in Montana (and likely to be one of the highest priorities at the national level). This should not be discounted by the left if they wish to make inroads either here in Montana or on the National scene. Steve Bullock recognises this and has worked toward increasing natural resource jobs in a rational manner. In fact, it somewhat amazes me that the only one talking about it on the lefty blogs is me – a conservative. Have any of you asked Steve about his plans and the legal negotiations he is currently involved in? That would be a HUGE selling point for Steve even with conservatives who want to see some of the economic boom being felt in North Dakota come to Montana.

      What sucks for Hill is that he isn’t being specific enough about HOW he is going to create jobs or how he is going to protect the natural beauty, clean water or even provide for the civil safety of Montanan citizens if a boom does come to Montana like it did for North Dakota. Steve Bullock is…
