Of course the koch brothers don’t know how many people live in Montana! They are not residents and only care about what they can extraction from the state-money, resourses, power etc…

Too bad this entire affair will not appear on Faux News…or any broadcast media watched by many Americans.

thousands of Montanans that actually DO know their actual population number point one finger on each hand at the Koch Bros and their minions…

In defense of Americans for Plutocracy, they were referring to not just the Human population of Montana but were also including the Cattle population.

Montana 1,015,165 (Human) + 2,550,000 (Cattle) = 3,565,165*

So there!!!111ONE11!!!11

‘Millions Of Montanans’

Probably more like tens, possibly low-hundreds of Montanans…

All I can say is “grassroots my ass”!

Actually the Koch’s may be on to something. California has 2 United States Senators and 38,000,000 people while Montana also has 2 United States Senators. So, if you look at it that way, “Millions of Montanans’” sounds about right.

We should give the Kock Bros the benefit of the doubt… give them their day in “court”. It is a simple request, "how many Montanans actually don’t want the expansion? Put up or shut up Asshat Lahn…

Millions of Montanans have been in a war zone with Billo, looking at pictures.

Bullock (pictured) wrote in a fundraising email on Monday. “Let me tell you what’s most startling about this – Not knowing how many “millions” of people live in Montana won’t stop the Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperity from spending millions of dollars to buy our elections.”

LoL, awesome.

The last time Montana went to court, SCOTUS determined that the state’s campaign finance laws were unConstitutional.

Someone should organize the “Million Montanan March for Medicaid.”

forkedtongue · April 13, 2015, 6:08pm

Billions of Americans are sick and tired of the Kochs.

This country has over 300 million people. If every citizen of Montana got sick and died due to the inability to pay for health care it would be but a small dent in the populace. In keeping with the “Law of the jungle, thinning out the herd” philosophy of the GOP it’s only correct Montanans be left to fend for themselves. If they vote into the legislature people that deprive them of health insurance, well, eff’em. That’s their politician’s attitudes, from their statehouse all the way to the nation’s capital. I say roll with it. You don’t like it, vote in more Democrats.

Oh sure, we all had a good laugh, but if only we’d had the presence of mind to shut it, AFP would have spent tens of millions of dollars fighting to win Montana’s dozen electoral votes.

ronbyers · April 13, 2015, 6:55pm

I would love to see them spend hundreds of millions to win Montana’s 3 electoral votes.

thepsyker · April 13, 2015, 7:15pm

Except the people of Montana didn’t vote in a bunch of people that want to deprive them of health insurance, that’s what AFP are bitching about.

slbinva · April 13, 2015, 7:30pm

The Koch goof aside – what happened to “let the states decide”? I guess that only counts when they decide the way the Kochs/TP/GOP want them to decide.

trippin · April 13, 2015, 7:41pm

Had the Kochs said “binders full of Montanans,” there’d be no controversy.
