Exactly, a competent group, they were not willing to work with him from day 1, instead of doing something they were working on how to stop voters from the voting, re-districting, it's a disgrace, it's racial, I don't care what anyone says.

Why could they not wait till beginning of next election, why this one? Everyone knows why, they think the people are stupid, we'll there not and the women's issue's, well that's another topic.

Geez, I take week off to go on another mtn climbing trip..... and the same posters who were living far removed from reality...... are even worse than before

Wow, think for yourselves people.... religion is not even in the top 50 for biggest issues in this country

That being said, I could never ever vote for Obama because he is an empty suit for the banks and his supporters are the ones who I am referring to in the first part..... as well as some off the charts cracked out moderates who have been drinking kool aid...... mixed with sulfuric acid

I could never vote for a Republican because they have lost their way on economic issues only...... no change at all with their social and civil rights issues, although the wack jobs have been led to believe they have all of a sudden changed their positions on gay rights and abortion inn the last 5 yrs

People would rather stay stuck in the unhappy status quo than take a shot at a guy renowned for making big fixes.

I would and have voted for a Republican. Flip Flop Romney is no Republican and will not get my vote. You guys would have been better off with Huntsman if you really wanted to target moderat Democrats and Independents.

I don't know, it was pretty steep getting up that thing...... ever hear of Granite Peak up in Montana?

Awesome peak for sure but very exposed.... not for anyone with a remore fear of heights

My happiest moments are summiting the hard and remote mountains

Once the curtain closes those democrats will have to make a decision. Either kill the country or give the United States another chance to create jobs, get an energy policy and get the economy going . Obama is the job killer. Romney will get out of the way and let the American people do what they do best. Work for a better America.

No, I haven't heard of Granite Peak, I don't climb but I've done alot of hiking in Oregon. I love the meadows, not too many people will hike way up there to see them, if I remember right it took about 2 hours to get up there. What a beautiful site, put's you into a different state of mind that you wish you could stay there, peace.

Ever climb Smith Rock in Redmond, OR?

I have a friend who lives in Bozeman.

People are weird. On a local level I vote democrat and yes, sometimes republican.. lately we have a democrats for a mayor for a good 15 years or so. Yup.. small government I will vote democrat..

Large federal government I would rather vote Republican because I want the STATES to keep the power. I don't want the Federal Government telling the states what to do.. Obama is too powerful and too strong. He runs over Arizona and takes the peoples rights away in Arizona concerning illegal immigrants. I want the states and local government to have a bigger say than the BIG FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.. Obama has become dictator and chief sueing Arizona for trying to fulfill the Federal laws Obama fails to keep!! Obama has to Go!!

Did 3 fingered Jack up there in Oregon.... great stuff, Oregn has lots of great spots. Climbing and hiking really gives me peace of mind. I will check out Smith Rock on Summit Post tonight

I wish everyone could find something to give them their own peace of mind, everyone is different, but it would help more people be happier in life I think, no matter what their politics are
