Those of you who attended the GOP meeting of candidates last Wednesday at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds in Hamilton heard Ryan Zinke talk about the need for the audience, ordinary Americans, to step up and lead. A similar message is delivered by Lt Gov Mark Robinson of NC in the following linked YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HEalzSpHhw. Note also his crucial observation that silence will not win this war with leftists: Consider Robinson’s statement: “Imagine if the Founders had been silent.”
Robinson is more eloquent and more dynamic than Zinke , but the message is the same. We must all do our part, whatever that is, and we all must get out and vote for Republicans, regardless of the lies from the left, or personal and petty animosities toward candidates and each other. What matters now is turning back the hordes of socialism and tyranny. What matters now is Saving this remarkable country, the United States of America.
As an afterthought, I included the Editor of the Bitterroot Star in the addressees for this message because that paper is demonstrably in the progressive leftist camp as cogently evidenced by the letters printed and not printed in its editorial pages over the past several months. The leftists appear time and again, while the conservatives appear only from time to time.

And I quote the de facto leader of the Republican Party and let’s be honest, the orange god that the majority of them worship;
“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.” I took her out furniture—I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
(Later, referring to Arianne Zucker whom they were waiting to meet)
“I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

What’s this?
A newspaper is in the progressive leftist camp, because of the Letters published, and not published, over the past several months?
That’s a smear! The truth is that Letters to the Editor are a small fraction, of the total content of The Bitterroot Star.
That’s a smear! Over the last two months, there has been a balance of Republican, Democratic, also Independent, viewpoints in Letters published by the Bitterroot Star.
What’s this? A conjecture that some published LTE’s, and unidentified, unpublished submissions of Letters to the Editor, put the Bitterroot Star “in the demonstrably progressive leftist camp”?
Sorry, that is a bridge too far, to nowhere!
That is not a cogent argument.
With public statements, it’s always best to avoid bearing false witness.
Let’s remember that, under the banner, Information about your Bitterroot Star, “Letters on local topics or issues are given priority for publication.” in the Bitterroot Star.

We have been tracking the number of “Republican” letters versus those of the Democratic side and find that the Star DOES publish more DEM op eds than Republican ones since the new owner of the STAR spoke to the Pachyderm group and said the reason they don’t publish GOP letter is due to not many coming in. Many of us started writing and voila – the results were the same – more DEM letters than GOP op eds.
Do your own research BOB -and you will see certain DEM names popping up al the time and few GOP ones. Then wake up and say YEAH I AM INCORRECT in my op ed of Nov. 2. You and GOMEZ and Fahnenstock Thomas are three that I often get a good laugh out of.
You are correct in that the Star does give good coverage to “news, events, etc” in the valley and I commend them for that effort. Their photography is also top notch.
That’s why we read it and don’t use it just for our puppies to do their “business” on…..but as far as the opinion page? Start keeping track BOB. They might get more readers if they do so. I see many of their papers still in the holders and not being read. That should tell them something…….and YOU too Bob.

A vote for any Republican that has not publicly denounced Donald Trump for his attempt to steal the 2020 election and for his part in the January 6th insurgency and attack on the US Capitol is a vote for a traitor.
Denounce Trump, and maybe we can talk. Stick with him and you will go down in history as enemies of democracy.
Helen Sabin says
TRUMP’s election was stolen as shown by the many who are being prosecuted after being caught stuffing ballot boxes, using machines that printed ballots fully filled out with Biden’s name marked on it, with ballots being filled out by medical personnel for folks who are to senile to know their own names, etc. My Uncle John voted For Biden even though he has been dead for that last thirty years or so. Wake up GOMEZ- take off your gaslighted blinders and start reading papers from others areas and you will see the extent of the voter fraud – even going on now in AZ for example and NV and etc. Thousands attend TRUMP rallies, but few for BIDEN. Thousands of americans cannot be wrong – but the future is coming and it will be interesting. IF TRUMP runs I intend to vote for him again. The DEMS have only sick, corrupt, criminal, candidates and it is pitiful when you see who is running the country and it isn’t BIDEN!
