Those jobs are probably not coming back

Also of note is the ominous image of what's supposed to be an empty Main Street as the narrator says, "...almost 250,000 jobs could be lost, with small business taking the biggest hit." Politico credits "A Montana source" who points out "the town in the photo is of an actual Montana ghost town — and those jobs were lost more than a century ago. The town of Marysville, Montana, featured in the ad, was an old gold rush town that declined at the end of the 19th century."
You can see some screen shots of Marysville's big cameo. The actual video doesn't appear to exist online.
This is the third time an ad attacking Tester has had some sort of slip-up. As Politico sums up:
First there was the National Republican Senatorial Committee commercial that made it look like the Montana Democrat had five fingers.Then there was the Crossroads GPS spot that a cable company pulled off the air due to a dispute over a charge leveled over Tester's record on regulating farm dust.

Denny Rehberg, who can barely talk calls his state "a frontier territory" whose motto refers to the rule of "SSS". That little rule describes things perfectly, as in Montanistan there are the "Served, Servants, and Sons of Bitches that herd the flock".
Tester who lives in the shadow of the Montanistani Scum Baucus, is the only one of the three elected Representatives that has any kind of integrity, if that is possible in this completely comprimised State. Jobs?? What Jobs? What is a product of Montanistan? What is a product of America? Cops dont count.
Thanks for producing Jim Messina, Missoula's favorite son, he brought America into the 19th century along with the Montana Territory.

Please explain to me how a U.S CHAMBER OF CONGRESS, can make an ad against anyone. If it is part of the Federal gov't it can't.
Roy P Pilkey - It is called the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, not because it is part of the U. S. Government, but because it is the national body of the Chamber of Commerce. I live in Santa Maria and they have a Chamber, as does San Luis Obispo, about 30 miles away. All these individual Chambers pay dues to the U. S. Chamber. Very rich and very powerful and, in my opinion, not representing the interests which best serve the American public.
Sorry, I got the name wrong. Apparently it was Richard Mcfeters who asked the question about the U.S.Chamber of Commerce.
