Being from Jersey means absolutely jack. If anything, it probably makes him appreciate even more and not take for granted the freedoms that the West offers compared to a state like NJ. That's the problem with people who live their whole lives in one place. They never consider that somewhere else in the world might have something to offer. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

Is this fake news? An attempt to influence an election? Or just a clear indication that journalists have no interest in truth or facts, just shock value, drama, and spin.

Not here it doesn't. As a rule we don't much care for out-of-staters. To the natives it's a big deal. A big deal that can be overcome. Gianforte has paid his dues, is a self-made millionaire who, as FN has stated, has helped many along the way and given back over and over again. The only people making his roots in NJ a big deal now are the liberals (many of whom also came from out of state), hoping that that and the "star power" of our homegrown musician will push him over the top. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Been thinking about this today. As much as people hate the media today, this might not have much effect on the election. I spent a couple weeks out in Montana last summer, and the folks I met there seem to have a very good grasp of right and wrong, and a very low tolerance for media nonsense. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Maybe it's lore but doesn't this appeal to rugged, independent, Western voters: “I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them." _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

I should say it shouldn't mean jack after so long. Obviously it does matter. Admittedly, I tend to lay a suspicious eye on anyone new moving into Utah from out of state ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure most of the Park City folk don't much care for my politics... ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

No kidding!! This election has been a fun one to watch. This is just the icing on the cake! Many Montana natives have a strong dislike of out of state people who have moved to Western Montana and tried to make it like the liberal states they moved from. Bozeman is a rather interesting city that I like to visit but would never live in. I live in Eastern Montana is it is like a separate and very different state in some ways. I don't care for Quist or Gianfote. Both are Clowns in my book. ----------------------------- Always carry. Never tell. | |||

Funny you should post that.

Wikipedia says the guy was born in CA, went to school and graduated high school in King of Prussia, PA, and went to college in NJ. How is he from NJ? | |||

That's what the MT media has been spouting since before the November elections, when he ran for Governor. It must be true or Gianforte would have certainly corrected it by now. Wikipedia HAS been wrong before. | |||

Even do, if he has trouble with one reporter, how will he be able to function under more demanding scrutiny, the crucible of DC? Reporters can be, often are, overly aggressive assholes, or at least act like one, hard to take in polite society. Like Socks once said, "the mice in Little Rock ain't nothing compared to the rats in DC!" Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

You are right about Wikipedia. It looks like he made his money in NJ, after graduating from college in Hoboken, and starting at Bell Labs. Since NJ was the last place he lived, he is considered from NJ. Like if he were to move now to Idaho, he would be from MT. I get it. | |||

I dunno, he may figure that he'd be hated more as a Californian than as a Jersey Boy so it made more sense to just keep quiet... | |||

Well, the Rock did say this week he was running in 2020, so maybe this guy is just training for his shot at the belt? | |||
