Final Results of GOP Primary Polls!

The Polls have closed and the results are tabulated! Without further ado, here are the results!

Who Is Your Pick For the GOP Nomination for Governor?

Randy Brogdon 69%

Mary Fallin 22%

Other 3%

Undecided 6%

This is obviously then race that everyone is looking at, all over the State of Oklahoma. It’s interesting to me, that this poll mirrors the Tulsa County GOP Straw Poll from a couple of weeks ago, yet seems to be the exact opposite of the polls being printed by the Tulsa World. I truly believe that these polls indicate a very strong Grassroots Movement behind Senator Brogdon, that is growing, and will lead to a win for him.

Who Is your Choice For the GOP Nomination for Lt. Governor?

State Rep John Wright 42%

State Sen Todd Lamb 22%

Other 2%

Undecided 34%

In comparison to the Straw Poll from a couple weeks ago, it looks like John Wright is starting to build momentum, and slowly pulling away from Todd Lamb. The interesting part of this, is the fact that Wright has not yet started to really campaign, and has raised very little money. It seems, that the Grassroots understand that these races are between true Conservatives, and the establishment within the Oklahoma GOP, and they are rejecting the establishment.

Who Is Your Choice For the GOP Nomination in OK District 1?

Nathan Dahm 54%

John Sullivan 25%

Fran Moghaddam 2%

Undecided 15%

Just 2 weeks ago, John Sullivan was leading this race by an almost identical margin. However, many did not realize they had an option when that poll was run. Now, as Nathan Dahm has begun to do the things to get his name out, his support is growing. Many within the Tea Party Movement have said that a TARP vote should have been career ending, and it looks like the Grassroots voters in District 1, would agree!

Who Is Your Choice for the GOP Nomination for OK District 2?

Howard Houchen 44%

Daniel Edmonds 12%

Dan Arnett 40%

Charles Thompson 1%

Other 1%

Undecided 3%

This race is intriguing to me. We have several strong candidates for the nomination, but no “big names”, as many believe that the Democrat Dan Boren, is too strong. However, the candidates who are running for the District 2 GOP nomination, are very strong, and seem to have a swell of support amongst the Grassroots, as this was the poll that pulled in the most votes, by far!  Currently, Howard Houchen seems to be the front runner, but this race is VERY close. Dan Arnett is mounting a strong challenge, and Daniel Edmond has a lot of support, as well.

Who Is Your Choice for the GOP Nomination in OK District 5?

James Lankford 53%

Kevin Calvey 3%

Dr. Johnny Roy 1%

Rick Flanigan 13%

State Rep. Mike Thompson 26%

Other <1%

Undecided 3%

This race for Mary Fallin’s seat was VERY close, until the last day, with James Lankford and Rick Flanigan running neck and neck. On the last day Lankford pulled away, and State Rep Mike Thompson finally mounted a challenge. I believe that, based on his name recognition in circles outside of politics, James Lankford will win this nomination.

I have tweeted it directly to several of these candidates, including those that I am NOT a fan of (Mary Fallin and John Sullivan). So, like I said, draw your own conclusions as to the value of these polls!

Glenn Beck & Alex Jones are Two Sides of the Same Coin!

Ok, I KNOW that title will get everyone’s attention, and, most likely, really make a lot of you angry! But, hear me out!

Both of them do the same things. They propogate their own personal conspiracy theories. Pounding them daily on their radio shows, and webpages. Backing them up with piles upon piles of “evidence”. They are extremely convincing and persuasive. So much so, that each have developed their own, dedicated and loyal followings.

The other thing they both do, is attack any cospiracy theories that they aren’t proponents of, especially if the other has championed it. Jones is a loud voice on the 9-11 truth conspiracy side, so Beck automatically attacks it. Beck is on the side if Israel against Iran, so Jones blasts it. Back and forth they go, with their listeners, more and more, opposing eachother over one issue or another, just because their guy said it.

It’s a giant “cult of personality”, and it’s completely counter-productive to the liberty movement!

Now, both of these men are find of conspiracy theories, so I have one! I think both of them are working for the “powers that be” to distract and divide the Liberty movement, and cause us to turn on eachother!

Come on, Patriots, WAKE UP! Do your own digging! Don’t just listen your favorite flavor of conspiracy, and close your eyes, ears, hearts, and minds, to the fact that there is more going on out there, and the only way to stop ALL of it, is to put aside our differences, focus on what we do agree on, and use it to take down the enemies of Freedom and Liberty!

Chris Benge Holding Up Property Tax Cap Bills

We can’t even go one day anymore without Oklahoma Speaker of the House, Chris Benge, showing off his RINO hide!

We have another action item for you today!

February 18, 2010

YOUR immediate help needed today

PROPERTY TAX CAP BILLS
introduced in Oklahoma Legislature

HJR 1001 and HJR5

Oklahoma Speaker of the House, Chris Benge, has chosen to play “politics” and is ‘holding up’ the above listed bills

500 calls needed Thursday
500 calls needed Monday

Tell Speaker Benge that you want HJR 1001 and HJR 5 to proceed to a full floor vote and allowed to be voted on by the people of Oklahoma in November.

Call
1-405-557-7340 or 1-800-522-8502

Cap on property taxes would be limited to 3% (still allows an annual increase in your tax rate) and could FREEZE senior citizens tax rate from future increases.

Currently counties levy 5% on homeowners taxes.

Tell your County Commissioners NOT to lobby against YOU or you vote them out of office in November.

IF you agree you are being taxed out of your home – then MAKE THE CALLS.

Thanks for moving our roadblock to common sense legislation.

Carol Helm

Rumor has it that Mr Benge is considering a run against our current Tulsa County Commissioner, Ken Yazel, who has fought long and hard to keep our property taxes from going up, anymore.

Well, we can all see what kind of County Commissioner Chris Benge will be! The Tea Party needs to make a stand, and let him know that we will do everything within our power to keep him from EVER holding office in Oklahoma, again!

Democrats Calling Mary Fallin a Hypocrite on Stimulus Funds

Image via Wikipedia

I received a very interesting email forwarded to me this morning. This is a Press Release from the Oklahoma Democrat Party!

Oklahoma Democratic Party For Immediate Release |

Contact: Karina Henderson, (405) 427-3366 | (405) 626-2574 (cell)

Recovery Act is one year old, but GOP hypocrisy and flip-flops are nothing new

Mary Fallin spends stimulus funds and praises programs she voted against

Oklahoma City, OK – While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has delivered needed funds to Oklahoma’s economy, many of the state’s GOP delegation – including Congresswoman Mary Fallin – have taken credit for and praised initiatives they voted against.

“Though Rep. Fallin vehemently opposed the ARRA, she has used it to try to score political points in her district,” stated Todd Goodman, chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. “She has said the ARRA was the ‘wrong stimulus,’ but apparently she thinks that spending that money for earmarks somehow makes things right. “It’s incredible how much Washington-style political maneuvering Mary Fallin has picked up in her short time in Congress.”

FLIP-FLOP: SPENDING

Fallin voted against the ARRA, which will infuse a total of $2.6 billion into Oklahoma’s economy. Over the past year, she has stated that the stimulus is “unlikely to stimulate much beyond more debt” and that it “was not the right answer to stimulate our economy.” However, Fallin earmarked $1.3 million for buses in her district and $285,000 to fund a Native American museum. She also asked a Pentagon official to use $8.4 million of the funds to repair National Guard buildings in Oklahoma. “Many times Fallin criticized the stimulus for not creating jobs, but behind closed doors she pushed for money to be spent on projects that would not directly boost employment,” Goodman said.

He noted that Fallin, who is running for Governor, “is asking for Oklahomans to trust her to lead our state – but we can’t even trust that her actions will match her words.”

FLIP-FLOP: JOBS

Goodman added that Fallin even appears confused as to whether or not to say that the stimulus has created jobs. On December 2, 2009, Fallin took part in a GOP press conference and repeatedly demanded, “Where are the jobs?” the ARRA was designed to create. However, only eight days later, she praised Oklahoma officials for their efficiency in “getting the stimulus money out the door and creating jobs” in Oklahoma. [See video at http://maryfailing.com

] “I’m glad that she found the jobs that the stimulus has created because it has made a real difference to Oklahomans who want to get to work,” said Goodman.

HYPOCRISY: HELP FOR DISABLED VETERANS

Fallin’s website touts that she has “worked to support a variety of initiatives improving veterans’ services,” including “[t]he economic stimulus package that sent rebate checks to 250,000 disabled veterans.” However, Fallin opposed the 2009 economic stimulus package when it came through Congress. That measure, like the one Fallin voted for in 2008, secured additional tax rebate checks for millions of seniors – including struggling disabled veterans. “Apparently voting to help our veterans only once in a while is good enough for Mary Fallin,” Goodman noted. “I don’t think most Oklahomans would agree with her on that.” Overall, Goodman stated that the ARRA has been good for Oklahoma’s economy and Oklahoma families. “This has been a year of many great successes for this program, and we’re really starting to turn things around nationally,” he said. “I just wish that elected officials like Mary Fallin could drop the politics long enough to focus on the bill’s positive effects.”

Even the Liberal Democrats who run the Oklahoma Democrat Party can see Mary’s obvious hypocrisy, and lack of real leadership!

MARY FALLIN NEEDS TO EITHER BE A CONSERVATIVE AND STAND ON PRINCIPLES, OR BE A TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL, AND OWN UP TO HER TRUE NATURE!

The Democrats are licking their chops for an opportunity to face a Stimulus hypocrite, who “voted against it”, and then immediately started working to “get our fair share” of the tainted Federal Bailout Money!

If the Republican Party allows Mary Fallin to win the nomination, we will be looking at another 4 years of a Democrat Governor!
