The difference between "Possible" and "Convenient."

While he was busy telling us that the loss of Senator Conrad Burns seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee wouldn't hurt Montana, Senator Harry Reid promised Montanans that if they sent Jon Tester to the Senate, Jon Tester would get a seat on the Appropriations Committee "as soon as possible."

One year later, no approps seat for Tester. Is anyone surprised?

Just like Max Baucus and his promise never to vote for gun control, you cannot trust a democrat when they tell you they're going to do something right for Montana.

It has been "possible" for Reid to give Tester a seat on the appropriations committee for some time now and he has not done so. When Tester is running for re-election (in all likelihood STILL without a seat on the appropriations committee, I hope Montanans will not take the word of national Democrats who come here to campaign for him and tell us what a difference he'll make. We've been down that road before.
