Oklahoma: R3publicans Endorse Randy Brogdon – The Best of the Best for Governor

Primaries are about selecting the best candidate to represent our party in the general election. This cycle in Oklahoma, the choice for our endorsement for the Governor's race was crystal clear. There has been consensus among us for months that Randy Brogdon is the man to lead the state ticket in November. It will depend on grassroots people making sure that the best person actually wins this election in order to be able to prevail in November as well. Will Republicans prevail if they fail to select men and women of principle in the primary? http://r3publican.com Continue reading →

Blockwalking in Oklahoma – A Nebraskan’s Perspective

Oklahoma Republican Voters Vocal and Not Happy. What does that mean? By Shelli Dawdy Of course one night walking blocks for a couple of candidates isn't necessarily an indicator of a trend. But it's interesting when it coincides with national polling results in at least one important aspect. (See this Gallup poll regarding party affiliation.) While out walking blocks yesterday in two Oklahoma neighborhoods, several folks either indicated they were no longer Republicans or would not be voting. In one instance, a gentleman who is known to be more liberty-oriented by his neighbors flatly refused to change his registration back to Republican even to vote for liberty-minded candidates. Perhaps that particular fellow is a rarity, its one thing to answer "Independent" to a pollster, it's another matter to go to the trouble of actually changing one's voter registration.

Side by Side or A Walk on the Far Side – You Decide

First we found the humorous look at authoritarians featured on Ludwig von Mises Institute's marvelous site. Then we discovered what prompted the post on Ampersand's left leaning site. And now we just cannot stop laughing at both of them. Do we find both of these so humourous because most of us recognize ourselves in both of them? Does that mean that we are somewhere in the mushy middle of America working to survive daily as we also strive to restore the republic? The art of relationships and healthy debate can be aided by humor if we let it. We hope you enjoy this little side by side or a walk on the far side. You decide. Special thanks to Barry Deutsch for a delightful original graphic piece on Ampersand.

July 3, 2010 Dear Chairman Steele (via info@gop.com), Thank you for your recent remarks! This is just a note to encourage you that the more the Bush/Cheney wing of the party slams you for standing up and speaking out (just a tiny bit), the more the declared war if you must crowd applauds the fact [...]
