Trashing Garver

The GOP E-brief, put out by the Republican Central Committee, traces the anti-Garver hit piece to the Big Sky Democrats. The E-brief says, "We're still gathering evidence to build this case, but there is much to suggest that the organization responsible for the defamatory campaign flier and the illegal auto-dial messages is none other than Barrett Kaiser's Big Sky Democrats."

The E-brief goes on to urge voters to cast their ballots for Al Garver. So now the race has become a surrogate for both political parties. Nice.

UPDATE: The Big Sky Democrats respond.

UPDATE UPDATE: More on the tactics of the Big Sky Democrats from the Washington Post (scroll to the bottom of the page, while murmuring thanks to Jackie Corr).

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Garver is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the prosecution of those responsible for stealing his campaign signs. "I just hope the voters can see who the good guy is in all this mess,” he said in a news release.

Wow! Put me squarely back in Dirty Ronny's camp! I din't realize that Big Al was such a piece of........WORK! Man! He even worked as campaign manager for that OTHER piece of....work, Deeny Rheburp! Sorry, but Big Al has just GOTTA be SLIME! Hey, it was fun while it lasted to be backing a "christian conservative"! But I've come back to reality!

That would explain the negative flyers & phone calls. The Democrats did it effectively last year, and now they're trying it again. Last year in our State Representative race, they blamed Weldon Birdwell for energy de-regulation, and he wasn't in the legislature when it happened! I wonder why the Democrats are supporting Tussing though, when he won't admit publicly to being a Democrat. Is he ashamed of his party?

Ah, yes, Eic, that was a good year for whine! I see that you're STILL enjoying it! Never heard of a Repug dirty trick, have you!

Al Garver edited the attack ads against Schweitzer during the governor's race just last year. Remember those slimy pieces? Al edited them at one of our local TV stations. There were phone calls, too. Al is no choir boy when it comes to campaign dirty tricks and he also orchestrated a coup against the older Republican leadership in the county organization. Ask former Rep. Norm Mills or Tillie Pierce about Al Garver. They'll give you an earful.

Ah, isn't that cute. Iverson didn't respond to their calls to chat. Well, I guess that "red elephant" is elephant-sized in every way EXCEPT with balls! And that's too bad. Oops! Have I slandered one of Deeny Rheburp's pals with this post?? Have I made fun of his so-called "mini-me"?! If I have, Deeny, please forgive me! I'm SURE that red elephant really DOES have elephant-size balls, it's just that he's waitin' for orders from you, his master-me! Sorry, so sorry!

Al Garver is a master of dirty campaigning. His acting like a victim and pointing the finger at someone else is like Mike Tyson accusing someone of being a thug. It takes one to know one! Finaly he is getting a taste of his own medicine! From what I hear, this is paybacks for the Schweitzer slime...it has nothing to do with anything or anyone except a desire for revenge.

Big Al is actually BABY-FACE AL! I mean, what a friggin' crybaby Al Garvage is! Did those big, bad demoncrats pick on poor little super christian? Ah, gee, Alvin. I always kinda thought that a big, bad "cop" (you WERE an a.f. cop, right, alvin?), a big bad cop like yourself was just a leetle bit tougher than that! Babyface, could you please explain for us just WHAT was so wrong about those fliers??? Babyface, didn't YOU participate in EXACTLY the same tactics against Schweitzer? Big alvin, doens't the fact that you are a "christian conversative" preclude you from being such a big crybaby? WHAT A FREAKIN' JOKE YOU ARE, ALVIN! No WONDER you work for Deeny Rheburp! Hey, Alvin, if you don't LIKE it here, you can always go back to wherever it was that you CAME from!!!
