At one time in Montana, our elected officials were literally bought and owned by companies.
There are folks out there, especially during the political season, that’ll try to twist and turn economic statistics for their own personal benefit, to pick and choose talking points in order to tear Montana’s progress down.
We need to work our level best in this legislative session to help grow Montana’s economy, so that grandchildren can stay in Montana, grandchildren can visit their grandmother and grandfather by driving across town, not flying across the country.
I think if Joe Montana or Peyton Manning had their way, they would’ve stayed where they had won Super Bowls and played so well. They wouldn’t have had to leave.
I spent most of my youth in Montana, where there are long, cold winters, but Maine has the coldest winters you could imagine. Not only are they long, not only does it snow, but it gets really damp. It’s a wet cold with a lot of wind.
I mean, I got reelected in 2016. Donald Trump took Montana by 20 points. I won by four. Twenty-five to 30% of my voters voted for Donald Trump. And that’s not, for me, changing who I am.
Joe Montana was a guy I enjoyed watching.
We need more justices who will uphold the Constitution, follow the rule of law, and protect our Montana way of life.
Montana and I had a chemistry that was unbelievable. When I first came into the league he told me I added five years to his career, and I just think we complimented each other very well and were able to do some amazing things out on the football field.
I’ve always joked about Joe Montana not appreciating his Super Bowls nearly as much as I do because he never lost one. We lost three before we got one.
I had to convince the investor that Scotland and Montana look completely alike. He couldnt believe it. But they actually do. I defy anybody to tell when were in Montana and when were in Scotland.
As a kid who grew up in Montana, I resent regulation being formulated and forced in Washington from bureaucrats that have never been to Montana.
I’m outdoors a lot, so I get dark. Guess who gets stopped? I’ve been pulled over, and they ask, ‘Where are you from?’ I say, ‘Montana.’ They say, ‘Are you sure? And I say, ‘I’m reasonably sure I’m from Montana, but you know, this is a dream life.’ You start on this shtick with them and it’s fun.
Two things you almost always see when ‘MTV Cribs’ features a black superstar: a poster of Tony Montana and a poster of the Godfather. Montana and Michael Corleone, though fictional, are considered heroes by young black men everywhere.
I wanted to be a professional athlete. Young men and women from Montana don’t make it to the professional level that often. And I always believed that because I was a great football player that made me better than you. And that’s not the case at all.
I think I could describe the perfect quarterback. Take a little piece of everybody. Take John Elway’s arm, Dan Marino’s release, maybe Troy Aikman’s drop-back, Brett Favre’s scrambling ability, Joe Montana’s two-minute poise and, naturally, my speed.
The winter’s a little bit daunting in Montana.
If a small, rural town in Montana had just five or 10 people move back home, that would be five or 10 homes that either had to be purchased or built – that creates construction jobs.
In Montana, no one, including out-of-state corporate executives, has been excluded from spending money – or ‘speaking’ – in our elections. Any individual can contribute. All we require is that they use their own money, not corporate money that belongs to shareholders, and that they disclose who they are.
I really enjoy my time in Montana.
Exxon Mobil and JPMorgan Chase each made more in profits in the first quarter of 2012 alone than the entire state budget of Montana. Without a doubt, multinational corporations like these have the resources to overwhelm the voices of the people.
