Presidential Preference Reflects Democrat Values!

GOP CHAIRMAN CALLS ON DEMOCRATS TO DISCLOSE THEIR ALLEGIANCES!

Presidential Preference Reflects What They Really Stand For!

OKLAHOMA CITY (April 23, 2008) State GOP Chair Gary Jones called upon Democrat Senators to follow Governor Henry’s lead today in making public their preferences for President of the United States.

“Governor Henry continues to show his true liberal stripes,” said Jones. “He claims to be a bi-partisan governor but vetoes bipartisan legislation, including reasonable pro-life legislation and sensible tort reform measures on more than one occasion. Gambling has proliferated under his watch and the “education governor” continues to lead the decline in Oklahoma’s national education rankings.

“He is clearly bucking for an administration position when his days on the Oklahoma payroll are over, and presenting his liberal bona fides to the Beltway crowd.

“I regret he didn’t show Oklahomans his true self when he ran for office.”

Jones then turned his attention to incumbent Senators and candidates.

“Brad Henry is about to be history in Oklahoma,” he continued. “Oklahoma voters deserve to know who their Democrat Senators and aspiring Senators will support.

“Does Nancy Riley support Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton?

“Will Charlie Lassiter follow the lead of his friend from Shawnee and throw his support to Obama?

“Who can the voters of southeastern Oklahoma expect Richard Lerblance to support?” Jones asked. “I hardly believe either Clinton or Obama reflects the conservative, pro-family, pro-Second Amendment values of that region. Who will it be, Senator Lerblance?”

“We already know that Senator Tom Adelson supports Obama. He was way out in front on that one, months ago,” he continued.

“Who can the voters in Lawton and southwest Oklahoma look to for leadership? Who will Keith Erwin or Rick Wolfe support for president?

“These are legitimate questions, because their presidential preferences are a window into how they would govern in the Senate.

“Hillary or Obama? Either choice is bad for Oklahoma,” Jones said.

“It makes no difference. Hillary or Obama will mean higher taxes, greater regulation and intrusion into our personal lives, the breakdown of the traditional family and a weakened national defense.

“Is this the kind of leadership Nancy Riley, Charlie Lassiter, Richard Lerblance, Tom Adelson and aspiring Democrat Senators would emulate?” he asked.

“Oklahoma voters deserve to know, stand up and be counted.” Jones concluded. (END)
