In a Congressional race in which one candidate plans to run on the strength of his Project Vote Smart test results and some camping trips, it’s hard to find a great deal of information. It’s especially hard to find information on Dennis Rehberg, who seems to lack the courage of his convictions, at least as far as Project Vote Smart goes.
On a wide array of questions about spending, budgets, and taxes, Rehberg’s only response was that he has “a strong record of prioritizing spending and providing tax relief to Montana families.” Especially families making over $250,000 annually. No sense of where he stands on the estate tax, balanced budgets, military spending, law enforcement.
What does Rehberg believe about campaign finance? That all contributions should be disclosed. Wow, certainly a bold stance there, since it’s mandated by federal law.
Perhaps least surprisingly, since Kazakhstan wasn’t mentioned, Rehberg took no stand on any international issues, whether it be the Iraq War or Darfur. He didn’t even agree that the U.S. should lead the push for peace in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Who doesn’t believe that?
The final question provides the best look at why Rehberg has failed as a Congressman. It simultaneously asks for his top legislative priorities and a reason for anyone to vote for him:

Great page, I genuinely enjoyed studying it, keep up the good thoughts.
I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours these days, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before. “Nothing will come of nothing.” by William Shakespeare.
This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
This was a genuinely incredibly good post. In theory I’d like to create like this also – getting time and actual effort to make a good piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain anything done.
Youre so right. Im there with you. Your weblog is undoubtedly worth a read if anybody comes throughout it. Im lucky I did because now Ive acquired a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this issue was so important and so universal. You definitely put it in perspective for me.
Merely a smiling visitant here to share the love (:, btw great style and design .
I actually transfered to South Florida 5 years ago (2007). I settled down here for about 9 thirty day periods at that time and proceeded to wander around the nation. Inside a year of departing I decided to come back for good, it was the reeffishing that called me back. Presently there is absolutely nothing like it, if you have never ever fished South Florida then you are missing out– that simple.
Enjoyable post, I genuinely enjoyed glossing over it, keep up all the hard thoughts.

At this time it sounds like Wordpress is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
This will be a great web page, might you be involved in doing an interview about just how you developed it? If so e-mail me!
Appreciate it for this terrific post, I am glad I observed this web site on yahoo.
Thanks for posting this is exactly what I was looking for !!!
Interesting blog post. Some tips i would like to bring about is that laptop or computer memory should be purchased if your computer can no longer cope with that which you do by using it. One can add two good old ram boards with 1GB each, by way of example, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should look for the company’s documentation for own PC to be sure what type of ram is necessary.
Inspirational writing. My soul is enlightened by your kind words and warm heart.
