An Open Letter to the Republican Party

Dear Tulsa Republican Party Leadership,

You will find that grassroots Republicans in Tulsa are:
First – Christians.
Second – Socially Conservative.
Third – Fiscally Conservative
Lastly, IF the party matches up with the first three, then Republicans.

We have no loyalty to the Republican Party; instead we have firm principles, and we will support whoever best represents those principles regardless of their party. It is for that reason that I never have, and probably never will, give money to the local Republican Party because I cannot trust that it will always be used to support candidates that I support. Instead, I contribute directly to the candidates and causes that do match my principles.

Similarly, I will not support a candidate who does not match my principles regardless of who endorses him.

Bill LaFortune has demonstrated over four years that he will not stand up for his beliefs as a Christian. (Example: LaFortune’s support of Tulsa Talks, the OCCJ, and of other religions to the exclusion of Christianity at the zoo.)
Bill LaFortune has demonstrated over four years that he is not socially conservative. (Example: LaFortune’s support of Tulsa Talks and similar gay and Muslim causes that seek to indoctrinate our children.)
Bill LaFortune has demonstrated over four years that he is not fiscally conservative.
(Example: LaFortune’s support of Vision 2025 and, well, do we need anything else?)

Bill LaFortune is not a genuine Christian, or a social or fiscal conservative. He in no way matches my values and beliefs, and as such I cannot support Bill LaFortune.

Let’s get our own (Republican) house in order; then we can unite to defeat Hillary Clinton…I mean, her sister, Kathy Taylor.

Sincerely,

Your Grassroots Support

Medlock Endorses “Good Ol’ Boy” Bill

Chris Medlock endorsed Bill LaFortune for mayor earlier today. I’m sure Mr. Medlock’s logic is that the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

Shortly after his loss, Mr. Medlock said that even if he did endorse “Good Ol’ Boy” Bill, it wouldn’t matter because his supporters are informed, independent thinkers. Mr. Medlock was right. I was an adamant Medlock supporter, and I spent every second I could spare working to get him elected. I respect him and am proud to have supported him. However, I will not take Mr. Medlock’s suggestion that I vote for LaFortune.

Instead, I urge that we take back the local Republican Party from the good ol’ boy network. The way to do that is to throw the RINO’s such as LaFortune out, and have the “average people” of Tulsa become active in the party.

I plan to support Ben Faulk for mayor in the general election.

Good News/Bad News

Good news:
We control the council. This is a long-term battle for the minds of our fellow citizens, and we’re making progress in taking our town back.

Bad news:
Kathy “Vote Fraud” Taylor will be our next mayor. I cast an educated ballot in every election, but I cannot bring myself to vote for a person who should be in jail, and I will not ever support LaFortune.

Who were the independent candidates, again?

Broken Glass Tulsans

In the 2000 presidential elections, the phrase “Broken Glass Republicans” was bandied about by pundits referring to those of us who were so determined to overcome the political reign of the Clinton/Gore administration that we would crawl over broken glass to throw them out of office.

I believe that Tulsa is now in a similar situation. There is a growing group of people who are “Broken Glass Tulsans.” We are people who are so determined to take back our city from the current elitist governing class that we would crawl over broken glass to throw them out of power.

We don’t care if the people we elect are Republicans or Democrats. We only care about whether or not those we elect will work to reform Tulsa from the corrupt way business has been conducted for the past few decades.

We have seen the miserable failure of Bill LaFortune and have vowed to defeat him and the rest of the Cockroach Caucus.

All that leads me to my point:
I don’t recall ever having voted for a Democrat in my life. However, if the only true reform candidate, Chris Medlock, doesn’t win the Republican primary, I will vote for Don McCorkell or even Kathy “Vote Fraud” Taylor over LaFortune. With Taylor or LaFortune you get a big-tax, big-spend, liberal, but at least with Mrs. Taylor it’s apparent to everyone what she is and the party can unite to defeat her in the next election.

Besides, judging from the way she’s handled the media in her past couple of scandals, I’m guessing that having Taylor as a mayor could be very entertaining.
