Local Midshipman A Hero

A young man from Florence/Stevensville who is attending Annapolis was a hero the other day when he ran to the aid of a Secret Service agent who was shot while trying to stop a gunfight at an Annapolis mall.

Here are the details from the Missoulian and this from the Annapolis Capital.

Sounds like Midshipman Rourke Baldwin is an impressive young man. A fellow Montanan we can all be proud of.

I wonder if John Kerry would be impressed?

Who's Coming To Support Tester?

The President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States were both in Montana this week to show their support for Conrad Burns' Senatorial campaign.

Who's coming to help support Jon Tester this week? How about the last two Democrat Presidential candidates, Al Gore and John Kerry or the last two Democrat VP candidates, Joe Leiberman and John Edwards? They almost won their last campaigns.

Maybe Bill Clinton or even Hillary? Bill kinda did well in MT in his Presidential elections and Hillary might in 2008.

Perhaps Howard Dean can do some hollering and fire up the faithful.

Maybe Ed Kennedy can sober up for a night and fly out.

The race is tightening and looks like it's slipping away from Tester. He needs some help from the leading Liberals in the Democrat party.

Why don't they come to help Jon Tester? He's fading fast.

Two Great Leaders to Visit Montana!

VP Dick Cheney was in Kalispell last night to stump for Burns. President Bush is in Billings tonight! Seems that the GOP base if fired up! (Thanks again to John Kerry)

So much for the theory that the Republican Party has written off Conrad Burns.

Cheney was awesome last night. Here is some of what he said.

"The stakes of this campaign are high," Cheney said. "The stakes are high for America's prosperity. The stakes are high for America's security, and the stakes are high for America's families."

He said voters had the choice between "paying higher taxes or lower taxes," and "determining whether this government will remain strong and resolute on the war on terror or falls into confusion, doubts and indecision."

"This country must reject any strategy of resignation or defeatism in the war on terror,"

"It's a mixed bag in the Senate," Cheney said. "One of the senators I like and respect the most is Conrad Burns. I look forward to swearing him in for another term in the U.S. Senate."

And one of my favorites in reference to John Kerry's recent remarks.

"Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke, and he botched it up," Cheney told the crowd. "I guess we didn't get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it."

Tester Comments on Kerry's Remarks

Jon Tester weighed in on John Kerry's remarks that insulted our Military Troops.

The remarks were "poorly worded and just plain stupid." Montana Democratic Senate candidate Jon Tester, battling to oust Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont.

Not much of repudiation. What does Tester think of the content of what Kerry actually said? We all know that Kerry screwed up but it is clear this is what Kerry and his legion of Liberal Elites actually think of our Military.

Is this what Jon Tester thinks as well? I think he does.

Update: It took Tester three days to respond. This means he issued his response for political reasons, not because he was outraged.

What Does Tester Have to Say About Kerry's Remarks?

I would like to know if Jon Tester supports or condems Sen. Kerry's remarks about our troops.

His silence speaks volumes.

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
