Millions and millions and millions of media/advertising dollars are flowing into Montana. This outside big-buck funnel is connected to a large non-Montana consortium of lobbyists and dark campaign funding organizations that want to slice one candidate – Tim Sheehy – into tiny pieces and feed him to the sharks.
They may be afraid of his conservative values and ideas. He is a businessman with a very successful military career (SEAL team officer). He moved to Montana as did I and many others. His company employees 200 Montanans earning great wages as airplane mechanics, pilots, etc.
Why all the attack ads? Simple. It’s because Senator Tester votes nearly 100 percent for every Biden/Harris policy on the border and on giving 5 TRILLION DOLLARS of your tax dollars away. That spending fiasco (voted YES by Tester) increased the federal deficit to an astronomical, bloated $35,000,000,000,000. Everybody hurts with massively high inflation that his votes caused. Tester is anti-Montana!
Voting with Biden/Harris to squash energy development was just another anti-Montana decision. By his votes, Tester is responsible for high fuel prices, significant inflation eating away at every household’s budget, higher rent and grocery prices and illegals streaming into the US. Those issues affect every Montana resident and every veteran that he cozies up to during election cycles. Tester makes Montana vets and residents worse off today than four years ago. As a Vietnam vet, I am totally opposed to Tester, as are all my veteran friends. I laugh when his big-money “vet” ads roll on TV. Where was Testor when Democrats voted to basically destroy (lack of funding) the US once-mighty military? Why no Tester voice slamming Biden/Harris for radically abandoning Bagram Air Base and leaving billions of dollars worth of advanced military rockets, ammo, planes, vehicles, gear and more in Afghanistan and walking away?
Why no word from Tester about VA resources being used to process illegal immigrants? “We’re talking hundreds of thousands of initial medical exams with follow-up exams, hundreds of thousands of prescriptions being filled, dental appointments, vision appointments…better than a lot of what the veterans are getting and without the hoops to jump through,” said Derick Carver, Allison Center for National Security at the Heritage Foundation.
Tim Sheehy needs to be our senator in Washington DC representing all Montanans. The Dems are so intent on holding onto Tester’s seat because he is a sure vote for all socialist policies that hurt Americans. I hope his next move is in a U-Haul truck back to Montana.
Vote Tim Sheehy!
