David Berg in the Morning

There is a morning radio talk show that is on the radio. I finally had to turn it off this morning because this guy is so one sided, opinionated. Boy the republicans should have mixed feelings about him. He is so republican but yet so closed mined that he scares me. I hope not all republicans are that way. This guy literally made me vote democrate this year. Seriously I was listening to him before the election because it is him or Deery Brownfield, take your pick. (Someone shoot me now.) Yestereday he was talking about how over half of Montanan's should be ashamed of how they voted for John Tester. He said they were dooped and lied to and it was 18 month campaign to smear and lie about Conrad Burns. Okay let me see over 1/2 of the voters voted for Tester, shouldn't he be proud that people got out and voted. I mean the numbers were like 2/3 of voters voted in this non-presidential election. I say way to go Montana, you let your vote count and be heard.

I will be honest, I don't know how I feel about John Tester. I keep hearing all the ney sayers saying how our State is doomed and this or that will be gone, but I guess I wonder how they know all these bad things will happen when this guy hasn't been a Senator in Washington DC before. I hope he will do a good job. I really went back and forth on how to vote. Conrad Burns has been there for years, and do we give up that senority and his ability to pork barrel for our State for change and someone new that won't have that senority? I went with the side of change. I think there should be limitations on the length a person can serve. I will be honest, I think Conrad Burns was bought by Jack Abromoff. Come on if someone gave me $150K in contributions just days before I voted on issues that affect him, would you vote in his favor? Conrad did, I am sure I would too because why shoot a donor in the foot. He says he did nothing wrong, I say the vote doesn't matter, it is the fact that he voted at all after taking the money. He should have either not taken the donations, or not voted. But not do both, that is a shame as David Berg said. Montana voted, and people like David Berg should respect that vote. They shouldn't be using their talk show to discredit Montana voters by saying things like shame on you 9 times in just several minutes. They should be saying things like way to go Montana, you voted and you were heard.
