Yep, it appears that Mike “Mr. Ed” Montagano is really a just a democrat in name only, (DINO).
In one of Montagano’s TV commercials he asks viewers: “Can you believe some folks are calling me a typical Democrat? I’m pro-life, pro-gun, pro-farm and pro-prayer. So I wouldn’t say I’m a typical Democrat.”
From a local newspaper..
“The problem,” said (Andy) Downs, who informally advises Democratic candidates, “is that the base might be disappointed and not show the sort of support they might otherwise show. This can mean a reduction in contributions and volunteers.”
Leonard Helfrich, a Fort Wayne attorney who’s an active supporter of Democratic candidates and who has donated $1,500 to Montagano’s campaign, said he was offended by the ad and received many calls from other Democrats who were also upset.
In an hour-long conversation with Montagano after the commercial started airing, Helfrich said: “I said I was insulted, that you’re running against the Democrats instead of with us. … That ‘typical Democrat’ remark irritated me the most.”
Smooth move, Mikey. Better start saying your prayers.

It would seem to me, Dan, that a red state conservative like yourself would support a candidate like Mike Montagano who is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-farm, and pro-prayer, rather than an entrenched incumbent who seems to have turned his back on the conservative contract with America that helped him win in 1994.
This, of course, is just my own inquisitive observation and not an accusation of inconsistency of any kind. I’m curious as to why you seem to dislike Mike so much.
Has Mike said how he would have voted on the “bailout” versus how the RINO Souder voted?
It’s not so much a dislike as making the right choice. Montagano has said “nothing” other than the statement above, about his positions. Just like Obama, he’s basically an empty suit, running on the “throw the bastards out” theme.
Well, doesn’t Mark “the bastard” Souder deserve to be thrown out? What do we (as a community) have to lose?
What we have to lose is our second amendment rights. Mikey is pro gun just like paul helmke. Enter that name in your spell checker
