LTTE in Billings Gazette about Burns' silence on Ports deal
Max and even Denny have come out against Dubai Ports World running US ports, but NOT BURNS! Hmmm? Been wondering what grave details in this complex issue have him sitting on the fence.

Oh, yeah!
IT'S THE $$$$! Alway$ the money!
with Burns, isn't it?

According to this LTTE, (I missed the announcement my own bad self)
http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/03/04/opinion/letters/55-reader-5.txt
El Shrubito is supposed to do a little fund raising help for Burns on March 27.

Burns has a fundraiser planned with the president on March 27. The fundraiser is expected to bring in a million dollars for his campaign. Burns does not want to criticize the president right before his big fundraiser. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. In Burns' case, that holds true, even when there is an attempt to open our ports to terrorists. Apparently our national security takes a back seat to a million dollars in campaign funds.


Hey, Conrad, what I hear around my county (reddest of the red) is that folks are willing to sacrifice all the perks of your seniority for a Senator with some ethics and the backbone to say no to money when it comes with strings that get in the way of serving the interests and wishes of Montana citizens and the security of the US.

You better be getting enough money to afford lobotomies for all the voters here, bud, cause all your protests that DEMS are making you look bad are not changing the truth that it is YOU ACTIONS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK BAD! Only way around it is to make sure we don't remember all your stunts.

Tuck your tail between your legs, hold you hat in you hand and look repentant before the people. You may have a snowball's chance in hell that way. But thinking you will buy your way to reelection by continuing to kiss bush*s ass shows how outta touch you are with the folks back home.

Big update Conrad: Bush is not walking on water here at home. Talk is, if he is a Republican, most folks here aren't Republicans anymore.

Money don't buy ya love.
