My Run In With A Sen.Conrad Burns(MT) Aide

[rsmith6621]

I work in Billing and commute home to Seattle on my weekends. Last week while waiting to check out at a local Billings mini mart the stores radio played back to back Conrad Burns/John Tester campaign ads. Testers ad spoke of Burns involvement with Jack Abramoff and how Burns has no problem taking special interest no matter who they are, his ad goes onto speak of Testers vision for Montana and how if elected he will promise to bring real economic growth while protecting the envioroment to the Big Sky State. THEN!!!....Burns ad came on the radio and all the 45 seconds was about terror terror terror and how electing Tester will enable the terroist.

A older man in front of me said he was so sick of the campaign and the attacks that have taken place since Mays primary that he was probably going to not vote as a result, I asked him how will that make a statement he said I guess it doesnt...I then asked him which candidates ad had more substance and a delivered a message that he could respond to and feel good about...Testers ad he said...Ole Burns he said only has TERROR to present to the voters... I said to him that he was right that not only Burns but the whole repug party has not completed one single item that benifits the whole of America and yes I to was sick of the terror mantra and Burns didnt do anything to show me that he is any different than the rest of those in his party.....About that time a guy came out from behind the Beer cooler and handed me a Biz card...he worked in Burns DC office and was home for the weekend....he said I was completly out of touched and that I was wrong about Burns ads..I asked him to tell me when Burns last ran an ad that didnt have a mention about Homeland Security....ummm...uhhh mmm ummm hhhhh....well he said there is nothing more important than the Homeland Security I said I agree in part but it is not the most important issue, that we are spending multi millions of dollars a day in Iraq and leaving our PORTS vunerable as well as 40 million without healthcare and the living wage going down the toilet....I said when was the last time Burns stood up for the little guy....NADA was said..I asked him how many reasons have been given for going to war in Iraq and told him Roosevelt didnt go to war against Japan but for only one reason...they attacked US .NADA AGAIN..The older man spoke up and told the aide whats the matter....got nothing to say for you or your BOSS!!!....you should find another candidate maybe you should look for JOB SECURITY...perhaps get your resume ready for John Tester because I am going to vote in Novmember now and Im going to get my freinds to and they will vote for Tester right with me....

Guess what!!!!!! the Aide said his wife and kids were waiting in the car and he had to go....guess they like riding on the floorboards cause there was know one in that car......Yes another LIE
