Most Montanans aren't impressed with your money - and ego

 Strollin' through the Cow Pies

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has reportedly called U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy a "flawed" candidate. 

That should be the end of the story, but it ain't.

Some folks can move to Montana and fit right in.  They've read up on our state, our customs, and our likes and dislikes. They've come with a willingness to learn about their new surroundings and are quick to make it their new home. In no time, they are seen as good neighbors and good friends. They are no longer seen as "out-of-staters."

But there are also the other kind.

Consider the transparent out-of-state quasi-politician who was told by his political handler that Montana has less than a million voters and that will make it easy and cheap to buy the election. Also, there are an abundance of your "friendly voters" already living there. They are a bunch of "rubes" and "suckers" who you'll win over in no time! Show them you're bank account, buy up land in big gobs, buy a multi-million dollar home in the biggest recreational area in the state and another multi-million dollar home on the other side of he state, and start a false-front business to show you are "here to stay."

One thing you may want to think about not doing, however, is "stepping in it!"  In Montana, that means "giving natives the idea that you may be just too good for this state." 

Montana is a land-locked state so we don't need any "seals." We are a modest state so we don't get impressed with how much money you've got or how big and fancy your homes are and how much acreage you're planning to "play" with.

If your ego arrived in Montana fifteen minutes before you did, you probably have "stepped in it - real bad  - with your brand new boots!"
