What Is The MT GOP

The Montana Grand Old Party (MTGOP), AKA Montana Republican Party, not surprisingly, is a bit of an enigma to many people. The MTGOP makes an appearance during the Two-year election cycle, and fades into obscurity until the next cycle. Ultimately, the MTGOP is a PRIVATE political party sanctioned by the State of Montana.

Every organization needs its leadership and the Montana Republican Party is certainly no exception to that rule. Very soon the Republican Party will pick a new chair and vice chairperson to lead Montana into the future. As a long-time Republican here in Montana I find myself very frustrated with our current leadership and like many other organizations across our great country problems usually occur over money.

Who controls the Republican Party has a great amount of control of where the money gets spent, which campaigns get it and which campaigns don’t. The abuse can extend past money. An example is leadership can decide who runs for office and those that shouldn’t bother to even file for office. This is mostly done either by withholding money or access to constituents (denying a candidate the opportunity to speak at an event, or have signage placed at an event; deny a candidate access to Campaign Sidekick, or the ability to have field representatives door-knock or handout candidate literature…).

For too long now the MTGOP has refused to confront the fact that politicians within the republican party are violating the rule and the platform. They even conceal their true colors by “identifying” as conservative republican. But all they do as politicians is make Montana more dependent on federal funding while abusing the principles in the U.S. Constitution that protect American’s freedoms.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR.

Government, when diseased by corruption, waste, and abuse, consumes its own body. This is how a country living in a credit-driven economy meets its ultimate death. The economic model that allows unlimited credit for individuals and government to live today on the promise of tomorrow’s productivity has to have a reasonable expectation of that productivity to satisfy the debt. Add interest payments to the debt, a demographic implosion, moral decline, and it’s a perfect storm for the disaster that is facing the U.S. and its people. Efforts to downsize the government and raise taxes will not work without the majority of citizens acknowledging the problem forwhat it is…MASSIVE.
