Missoulian: Burns, Tester square off in front of packed house: "By BETSY COHEN of the Missoulian
HAMILTON - Republican Sen. Conrad Burns told a boisterous crowd in Hamilton on Sunday that he's the candidate for U.S. Senate who is not “a lawbreaker.”
Members of the audience took offense and shouted “psycho” and booed as Burns claimed that Democratic Senate candidate Jon Tester has an illegal slush fund, has taken “unreported” trips to Taiwan, and made illegal phone calls to raise campaign funds.
The accusations came after Tester accused Burns of no longer representing Montana values. . ."
Montana values, eh? 'Round here all the pols yak about "mountain values," or the ever popular "North Carolina values." If a pol is campaigning in Brooklyn or some other urban environ, does he talk about "Booklyn values?" I'm just wondering. Are these values some sort of moral compass that all civilized people are supposed to possess, or are these values the special province of a few chosen people, you know, like God's, people?
I have yet to hear anyone talking about the apparently predominant set of values infecting the country today:pink flamingo wife-swapping meth-snorting white-trash wave-the-flag dodge-the-draft screw-your-neighbor moral relativism.
