Montana Special Election: Time for Democrats to Get Real
Townhall.com ^ | May 27, 2017 | Susan Stamper Brown

Democrats just lost another election, this time in Montana. Unless they are willing to do some down-on-your-knees, cry-out-to-Jesus soul searching, the only way they’ll win another election is if they collude with the Russians to steal one the way Donald Trump didn’t.

It’s going to take much more than an Olivia Pope-style scandal “fixer” to fix what’s wrong with the Democratic Party. Putting a cowboy suit on an anti-gun, big government liberal like Rob Quist who regularly does gigs at a nudist resort in Idaho, was about as effective as putting lipstick on a pig.

It was also a naked attempt to blanket a semblance of normalcy over a Democrat Party that better represents the characters in the Star Wars cantina scene than those on Main Street or Your Street, U.S.A.

That’s why Greg Gianforte won Montana’s special election, despite being charged with assaulting a journalist one day prior.

After reading reports and listening to the audio of the altercation, I thought Gianforte’s response was kind of sexy. Before the snowflake generation evolved, that’s how manly men resolved their differences. And still do, in places like Montana and Alaska, where men aren’t ostracized for being men. They duke it out, brush it off, shake hands and go on their way.

Republicans should be on guard that the leftist-controlled media are not there to get facts; they are there to get at them. Reporters who “just happen” to have a recorder turned on will do their darnedest to bait politicians into physical altercations. As tempting as it might be, there’s no place in politics for body-slamming obnoxious metrosexual snowflake reporters, or any other kind for that matter.

Democrats and the left-leaning media had nothing to say when in 2004, Al Franken emerged from a crowd and body-slammed a guy who was trying to shout down then-Governor Howard Dean. Democrats promoted that clown to Senator but are outraged at Gianforte.

Let’s not forget that the violent political climate propagated by today’s progressive-left is to blame for fostering a culture of violence. Violence, not manly wrestling matches.

The Democrat Party is overrun by violent far-left extremists who regularly display their antipathy to things they dislike using violence. Setting fires, throwing Molotov cocktails, smashing windows, throwing rocks at police, destroying private property, and physically attacking Republicans like what happened at Berkley in February was the norm long before Donald Trump arrived on the scene.

Normal Americans watching this appalling behavior have come to understand that just like terrorists, these leftwing anarchists the Democrat Party harbors cannot be reasoned with, so defeating Democrats at the ballot box is America’s only hope.

Despite the barrage of Trump-Russia nothing-burgers the media cooks up and dishes out daily, regular Americans believe what the Democrat Party stands for is far worse. Democrats are out of touch to believe that their globalist, gun-grabbing, anti-Christian, anti-free speech, anti-capitalism, Russian-boogiemen-around-every-corner, race-baiting platform of victimhood would win the hearts and minds of regular people.

What’s flabbergasting to Democrats is that America’s proverbial “abused wife” on the other side of the aisle has finally conjured up the courage to put her foot down and say, “No more! Not in my house!” No more to the lies…no more to the abuse.

Shocking?

Only to those who refuse to take an honest look at themselves and the political party to which they associate.

Montana still remembers the cowboy.

But as for your question, it would only be pertinent if the work were all of man, rather than being all of God. This is the question asked by self-proud soi-disant “Christians” rather than those who know that their next stumble is but a footstep away if they take the all-too-easy leave of the Lord.

And yet to continue down that path can be to bid goodbye to God. And so the victory will define Pyrrhic once more. The left will rise again. Revenge is best served cold, is something a lot of people understand.

Dumbos lost a-g-a-i-n in Montana? (smirk)

Dumbos just lost in Omaha---the race that got caught in the abortion debate.

DNC Perez recently declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory.

So if that's not working, it figures desperate Dems might be looking at infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled...... for winning issues.

============================================

In Kansas couple weeks ago, Repub Estes won by a commanding eight points; then Dumbo Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...even after every prog/Dumbo and his second cousin from East Overshoe, USA, gave Ossoff some 10 million dollars.

Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections. Those total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.

Go figure.

The radical Left's take over of the Democrat Party and their disdain for the U.S. Constitution is now common knowledge....Hillary and Kane, and Obama are stand-outs for irreparable damage to their country; even out of office they still trying to rule, encouraging anarchy in our university's and colleges with young minds who have no skin in the game....i.e., pay taxes, own property, own stock etc. The Radical Left is dark and dangerous....they have no plans for America The Great, their ideology is that of Saul Alinsky, a grey picture at best.

The landscape is changing. In the past, the GOP’s MO was to grovel, utter never ending apologies, curl up in a ball and hope the Left didn’t kick it *too* hard. For a textbook case, see George Allen, who apologized ~a million times for saying maccaca, and who lost anyway.

Now you have the New Right, which is the opposite. As soon as the Left accuses one of theirs of something, they embrace it and start meming it. They are confident, focused, aggressive and motivated. The MSM cannot intimidate them. They dubbed Gianforte The Montana Mangler, and posted multiple wrestling memes featuring him. They refused to allow the MSM to control the narrative, and they won.

Some in the New Right are very committed to God. Some aren’t. What they have in common is the Happy Warrior spirit. The Left/MSM wants to intimidate and vilify them and theirs, the way they did with George Allen. The New Right says, ‘Bring it.’

The Dems will never win an honest election. I wouldn’t be associated with those people. The IQ in my little toe is higher than Dems...

Not.

Repentance does not prevent stumbling, but it (repentance) is not happening where they celebrate evil and perversion.

If the world is looking a lot like Romans 1:18-32 there may be a real reason for it.

The DNC is not a place that is healthy for Christians to be. It calls them to compromise on too much and embrace much that must never be embraced.

There is nothing “proud” about standing on simple moral truths as they are revealed in Scripture. Rather pride is thinking you can know how to depart from them because it may be socially acceptable to do so. Compromise with evil is going to produce only more evil.

Obviously just proved to be untrue by this election.

Actually they have never won an honest election. The only way they win is through fraud, lies and theft

Al Franken has a long history of getting high and/or drunk and assaulting people whose politics he doesn’t like. The victims don’t give it back to the punk because they don’t want to lose everything they have defending themselves in a frivolous lawsuit. It’s easier to just take a punch and go down. I hope that asshat gets hit by a 200-lb meteorite.
