Mary Has A Little Lamb...



A Stolen Poem

  Yeah, you didn't know were were that cultured here at STP, did you? Well this little gem showed up on Sooner Politics on Facebook and with a few words added it was perfect to describe Todd Lamb's role the last eight years and the next eight if we are unlucky enough to have that many stupid voters. But the poem was funny so enjoy:

Mary had a little Lamb
To keep the status quo
Vote for him in the primary
And watch your taxes grow..

Political Donations For Porn





Political Donations for Porn Videos

Only in Oklahoma would you see a Republican embarrass himself by reporting payments to online porn video websites. Jason Reese, running for the Randy McDaniel House District 83 seat in 2018, managed to cause an uproar last week when he filed a report with the State Ethics Commission that detailed payments allegedly for porn videos. Thankfully the video in question was a young wife needing discipline, a bit of S & M going on including a bit of binding and gagging according to the online blog that outed the story.
Trying to be open minded about all of this leads us to think that perhaps the House needs bound and gagged and spanked so maybe Mr. Reese might be an asset to the Republican Caucus. Now if the woman in the video was named Mary Fallin then the guy might win in a landslide after this last round of tax increase demands from the wicked witch of NW 23rd and Lincoln.

Richardson Puts 'Skin In The Game' To Secure Oklahoma's Future



Richardson Campaign Adds One Million Dollars to War Chest

Gubernatorial candidate Gary Richardson has plenty of excellent reasons why people are going to choose him to represent the Republican Party in the 2018 Governors race but he just added one million more reasons, a huge self contribution to his own campaign. Gary sent out a press release about the investment and had the following to say

"I refuse to be beholden to the special interest groups that have poured millions into the governor's race," Richardson said. The people of Oklahoma are my only special interest group. To often, we get politicians who are looking to further their career and only see the office of governor as the next notch on their belt," Richardson said. "I can honestly say that I don't need the job, I'm not looking for a career in politics, and I can't be bought by the lobbyists and special interest groups."

That alone won't ensure his success, he needs a lot of small donations from across the state so be sure and find his website and donate. Gary served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee from 1981-1984, appointed by President Ronald Reagan. Richardson also is a founding member of the law firm, Richardson, Richardson, and Boudreau.

The Puzzling Case of Dan Fisher's Video Views


The Puzzling Case of Dan Fisher's Video Views

We've talked about this before, exaggerated claims of video views by gubernatorial candidate Dan Fisher hoping that an adult would step up and bring it to their attention and stop the deception. However a few weeks ago the John Birch Society was at it again, sending out this email from OCPAC:

"John Michener
To Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee
Sep 19 at 11:31 AM

Dan Fisher's campaign for Governor of Oklahoma has been wildly successful thus far. Last week Dan launched a six-minute video explaining his first campaign platform plank, which is to Abolish Abortion. The video has had 124,000 views."

Yet as the article picture shows the actual views on the very link that OCPAC used in their newsletter shows only 3,000 views, a far cry from 124,000 views that they claim. Early on in political races the campaigns might try to gin up some hysteria and claim momentum but it can backfire on the campaign when people can tell you are telling obvious lies.

Lankford Betrays Working Oklahomans


Lankford Betrays Working Oklahomans

Lankford has never been a Tea Party kind of legislator despite our allowing him to speak at at least one of our rallies. The guy is a Christian fundamentalist and hardly conservative. Yet he went overboard last week with his support of amnesty for the DACA recipients under the Obama program that Trump announced he was ending in six months. While admitting that you don't give away citizens because of an illegal act Lankford went on to author an amnesty bill with North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis. Here is the main language of the bill:


(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law and except as otherwise provided in this Act, the Secretary may cancel the removal of an alien who is inadmissible or deportable from the 13 United States and grant the alien conditional permanent resident status under this Act, if the alien—

Caucus Talk: We Dodged A Bullet This Week


We Dodged a Bullet this Week

It was looking pretty grim as of last Sunday, Mary Fallin was threatening veto of any cost cutting or waste reduction bills and demanding new and increased taxes be placed upon Oklahomans. House leadership was parroting the same line as were the syphilitic bastards over in the Senate. The Senate had filed dozens of bills and the House piled nearly another 150 bills on top, just under 200 bills total, most were blank appropriation bills or tax increase bills, with a few cost cutting bills, all of which were filed by individuals not leadership in either chamber.

The vast majority were blank appropriations bills, filed by leadership so that they had a bill to ad a new tax to or to increase a tax. Then there were ones like SJR 1 filed by Senator Bice which allows ad valorem or property taxes to be used for payroll at schools. Once the teachers unions and tax hogs break that seal look for sky high property tax increases.
