Candidates shooting at wrong targets

There are two newbies who have their face and names repeatedly on my TV channel. I am a registered voter. I call them hoo-rah (ridiculous) ads. One has named President Obama as Montana’s problem, and one shoots at (supposedly) a government drone.

Anyone with a high school education knows the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate make all the laws of our land, and also spend ALL our monies. The presidents — past, present and future — are only figureheads who will pick up a pen and either veto or pass the paperwork coming down from the Congress.

To the man who simulates the shooting of a government drone, you should realize that 1) you would spend many years in a federal penitentiary if you were ignorant enough to commit this crime, and 2.) the message to our young people is very careless.

If you don’t love it, leave it! Go to Ukraine!
