Oh my gosh, I was shocked to learn that the Family Values/Don’t Cancel Me party (Republicans) just got rid of one of their own. Marc Racicot, former Montana Attorney General and Governor, was informed by the MT GOP that he was no longer a Republican in good standing. The reason was he didn’t politically support certain Republican candidates like Donald Trump and Ryan Zinke.
The decision to remove Mr. Racicot was signed by Don “K” Kaltschmidt, Chairman of the MT GOP and auto dealer in Whitefish. Don was voted best media dealer in the Flathead Valley, which helped him earn his prestigious MT GOP post. So, let’s take a look at this turncoat Racicot to better understand the state GOP’s rationale for showing him the door:
Born in Montana and raised in Libby and Miles City.
Starting basketball player in high school and Carroll College.
U.S. Army Veteran who served in Germany and retired as Captain.
Taught school at University of Maryland while overseas.
Previously served as Attorney General and Governor of Montana.
Yep, we don’t need folks like this in our state. Just good old home-grown politicians like Gianforte (New Jersey); Daines (California via Conrad); Rosendale (Maryland) and Commando Zinke (Santa Barbara via Whitefish). Maybe we could convince Marjorie Taylor Greene to move to Montana and run for Jon Tester’s Senate seat.

I LOVE the idea of Greene moving to MT to run against Tester. Great suggestion! I would like to see a man named Ken Kusluch from Colorado move here – he has some great ideas that Montanans would love such as prepping for national disasters like what happened in OHIO, and a 30 day registration ahead of voting, and college kids having to use their driver’s licenses to register to vote so they can’t vote twice – once in their home state and once in Montana, etc. They should vote where they live – not where they attend classes for an “education.”
Whether or not your reasons are correct for him “removing” Racicot are correct or just your opinion is to be debated. But now since he is on a roll, he needs to remove State Senator Theresa Manzella, and Terri and Alan Lackey who call themselves “Republicans” but who don’t believe in the US Constitution and want to change it to the John Birch Version of it. The same holds for Terry Nelson who has let these three pack the GOP central committee with others of their ideology – so much that meetings often end in screaming matches and sometimes fisticuffs or the police being called to handle the angry persons that fill that room and the meetings.
We need a new party here in the valley called the MAGA or AMERICA FIRST PARTY. THOSE THAT believed in and liked what President TRUMP did for the USA while in office and will do again when re-elected in 2024 – that is what we need in Montana. That is a party I could get behind – the “Republican” one that currently exists in Montana and the one that is being manhandled, denigrated and changed by so-called Republicans….nope! A third party would be wonderful if it stood for freedom, liberty, and the true USA and its people. Neither the DEMS or Repubs today do that.

Hey Sabin, here’s a suggestion….why don’t YOU move to Georgia. You could team up with your election denying, Q’Anon spewing, white trash idol Marjorie Taylor Greene. I believe she could use your ‘obvious intellect’ with investigating the “Jewish space laser” conspiracy. Please, do Montana a favor. Oh, by the way, MAGA stands for….MakingAttorneysGetAttorneys..
