What a crock! Or is that crook?

What a crock! Or is that crook?
Where's all of the, "Democrats For Riley" signs hiding out? No one's seen any of those!

The Story of Nancy "Turn-Coat" Riley (Democrat).

Nancy ran as a conservative Republican, got to Oklahoma City, and governed as a liberal Democrat.

Driving through her district (37 - Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Glenpool, Bixby, South Tulsa, Broken Arrow), you will see signs that read, "Republicans For Riley". These are obviously intended to confuse and deceive her constituents. Someone who would purposely do that should not be an elected representative of, "We, the people...".

She does not state that her party is now the Democrat Party in her TV commercials or throughout her brochures.

The Oklahoma Democrat Party has been a willing accomplice throughout the period of this behavior; she has raised a very substantial war-chest of campaign funds, after her antics gave full control of the State Senate to the Democrats. Perhaps, after 100 years, it's time for Oklahomans to, finally, let the Republican Party have their 1st chance ever to see if they can do a better job for the good people of the great state of Oklahoma.

The word is hitting the streets about these deceptive practices and Oklahomans are NOT going to put up with this type of activity. A candidate of either party should be forth-coming to their constituents when they've changed political party affiliation; especially, when they make the switch after they've been elected.

Her opponent, Dan Newberry, has been running a clean campaign, having living-room discussions with literally thousands of his neighbors. He wants to represent all of his district's citizens in an open and honest manner. He wants to personally hear, and give deep consideration to, the concerns, thoughts, and ideas of his constituents.

At the time of this writing, Dan Newberry has never even met the citizenry that is putting forth this blog, but he will enjoy the support of this blog, because we need more HONEST elected representatives in government.

NANCY RILEY PROMOTES THE ‘PELOSI PREMIUM’

Tulsa Senator Happy With High Gas Prices


OKLAHOMA CITY – Who said the following? “Thank goodness for high gas prices." If you guessed Exxon Mobil CEO Lee Raymond or Chevron CEO David O'Reilly or any other big oil executive, you are incorrect. If you guessed Tulsa State Senator Nancy Riley you move to the head of the class.

In an interview with the Broken Arrow Ledger last week, Senator Riley expressed her thanks for high fuel prices, and the perceived benefits those prices provide to state coffers. “Yep, she said it,” said Randy Swanson, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Republican Senatorial Committee. “These sound more like the words of a candidate running for Congress from San Francisco than someone running for the State Senate in Tulsa.

“Come to think of it, perhaps Nancy Riley would be more comfortable serving under Nancy Pelosi’s leadership than she is serving Oklahomans,” Swanson continued.

Under the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi – the San Francisco liberal – the United States Congress has reached an all-time low approval rating of 9%, according to national polling firm Rasmussen Reports (July 8, 2008). Under Pelosi’s leadership, America’s energy independence has been stifled through Congress’ refusal to open up the fertile areas within our own borders for drilling and production. Republicans in Congress are referring to the resulting increase in fuel prices as the Pelosi Premium.

Senator Riley of Tulsa appears to have embraced the Pelosi Premium in an interview last week when she declared “Thank goodness for high gas prices." (Broken Arrow Ledger – July 5, 2008).

“Clearly, the two Nancys are out of touch with real Americans, said Swanson. “If Nancy Pelosi thinks our dependence on foreign oil imports is good energy policy, and Nancy Riley thinks the energy prices that are cutting into our families’ budgets is good for Oklahoma, maybe Nancy Riley is running for the wrong office,” he continued.


”She may be more comfortable working with Nancy Pelosi in Washington, DC.”

When Nancy Riley was first elected to the Senate in 2000, her drive to the Capitol from Tulsa cost around $15 round trip. Today, that round trip costs almost $40.

“If Senator Riley is happy with the fact that higher energy prices are sustaining the state budget, we have no problem with that,” Swanson said. “But Republicans believe there are better ways to grow an economy other than consumer pain at the gas pump.

“We suggest Republican principles of responsible budgeting, reduced spending and a free-market economy.

“This stunning pronouncement by Nancy Riley is indicative of her compatibility on other issues that are important to her new political mentor. Both Nancys stand with big time trial attorneys when it comes to lawsuit reform, more government mandates on business and education, more spending and less tax relief,” he continued.


”We in Oklahoma can’t do anything about Nancy Pelosi, but we can send Nancy Riley back to her private life, and out of the business of supporting higher costs for Oklahoma families.” We can’t afford the Riley-Pelosi Premium here in Oklahoma,” Swanson concluded.
