brass courses front god guy jack music sound string teach took violin
I play trumpet. And I took all the music courses in college, so I can also play the string instruments, keyboard, the brass and woodwinds - but only well enough to teach them. If you put a violin in front of me, you wouldn't say, 'My God, that guy can play.' It'd probably sound more like Jack Benny.
breaks brings combine senator wants whenever
It brings me back to reality. The combine doesn't care if you're a senator or not. It breaks down whenever it wants to break down.
common fixing hope senators somebody tractor
I don't know how the other senators see me. I hope they see me as a farmer. That's really what I am. But I don't think they see me on a tractor or fixing equipment. I hope they see me grounded, as somebody who has common sense.
opportunity since
I'm a farmer. I always will be a farmer. When I die, I'll be a farmer. It's something that I've wanted to do since I was 8 years old. I can tell you also that I see opportunity slipping away for our kids.

I don't want to weaken the Patriot Act. I want to repeal it.

Healthcare is very much a high priority for me. Healthcare is also a huge issue for business, both big and small.
jobs agriculture giving
Montana's ranchers raise the best cattle in the world. If Taco Bell needs to beef up, they can give their customers the highest quality meat around by using Montana beef, and in the process, supporting agriculture jobs in Montana.
government shady deals
Montanans elected me to the Senate to do away with shady backroom deals and to make government work better.
priorities doubt return
I will tell you, in the case of education, you have to make the investment if youre going to get the return. Theres no doubt about that. Its a proven fact the return is there if you make the investment. It really is about priorities.
vacation tractors
I take my vacation on the combine and tractor.
