^Congressman James Lankford has moved with considerable speed into a top leadership post with House Republicans. Just elected to his second term, Lankford has impressed many with his thoughtful approach to issues, lack of hyperbole and ability to study and understand issues quickly.
^Defeated Oklahoma County Sheriff candidate Darrell Sorrels may have lost any chance of becoming a credible candidate four years from now when Sheriff John Whetsel retires. Why? Because his “spokesman” who emerged during the silly recount was none other than the quarrelsome Al Gerhart, the Sooner Tea Party leader whose political credibility is non-existent.
^Whoda thunk it? A completely Republican congressional delegation. Two GOP U. S. Senators. Dominant majorities in the State House and Senate. Every major state office. The Republican tsunami that has swept this state in recent years is nothing short of…incredible…to those of us who labored in the GOP electoral vineyard years ago.
^This just in: President Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as “Delphi” to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities. That’s according to a four-hour briefing delivered to Republican state senators at the Georgia state Capitol last month.
On October 11, at a closed-door meeting of the Republican caucus convened by the body’s majority leader, Chip Rogers, a tea party activist told Republican lawmakers that Obama was mounting this most diabolical conspiracy. The event—captured on tape by a member of the Athens-based watchdog Better Georgia (who was removed from the room after 52 minutes)—had been billed as an information session on Agenda 21, a nonbinding UN agreement that commits member nations to promote sustainable development. In the eyes of conservative activists, Agenda 21 is a nefarious plot that includes forcibly relocating non-urban-dwellers and prescribing mandatory contraception as a means of curbing population growth. The invitation to the Georgia state Senate event noted the presentation would explain: “How pleasant sounding names are fostering a Socialist plan to change the way we live, eat, learn, and communicate to ‘save the earth.'”
^The Oklahoma Democratic Party has become a political dinosaur, ineffective and neutered by liberal policies its leadership has embraced and a president who couldn’t sell ice water to thirsty construction crews in this state.
