I want to point something out to people here on FR:

Montana’s governor is a Democrat.

The other governor who has taken on the Feds over wolves was a Democrat, Dave Freudenthal, former governor of Wyoming. Freudenthal sued the Feds and then set up a hunting season and plan for wolves in Wyoming. Over two dozen wolves were shot the first week Freudenthal’s hunting plan was open. The Feds then sued to stop it, and Wyoming and the Feds are still in court.

Republican governors talk a nice game on this issue, but they don’t back up their words with actions. Butch Otter wimped out on the issue last fall, tossing the ball back at the feds and saying “Golly, I tried...”

If Republicans want to be seen as the party that is going to lead on issues that make a difference to the bottom line of real business (instead of merely carrying water for Wall Street and multi-national corporations), the GOP should get their head out of their plush posteriors on these kinds of issues and show some leadership.


You make some excellent points. The GOP needs to start exerting leadership on some of these issues that the majority of Americans want action on.

On issues like Open Borders, Globalism, spending, lower taxes....if the GOP does not take lead on them now....they will lose to a Dem who will. Correct that the GOP needs to stop pandering to Wall Street and the Globalists...get back to America
