Hot damn. I missed Tyler Gernant's announcement because I was traveling but just picked up the coverage from yesterday's papers. The contender is swinging and he lands a few punches:
Gernant said he wouldn't be running if the country was in the same shape it was in 2000, with a $200 billion budget surplus and a booming economy with increasing numbers of jobs.
[...]
While Rehberg claims that fiscal responsibility is at the core of his being, Gernant said he voted for "a massive tax cut for the wealthy that completely eliminates our budget surplus and returns us to deficits." Gernant said Rehberg voted to put two wars on the country's credit cards and voted for a pharmaceutical drug plan that lets the big pharmaceutical drug companies charge the U.S. government whatever they want.
Good for Tyler -- on point, honest, and educational about just what policies our Congressman pursues.
