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.

HIGH ENERGY COSTS -- RILEY WAS FOR THEM BEFORE SHE WAS AGAINST THEM

*** NEWS RELEASE ***
HIGH ENERGY COSTS --
RILEY WAS FOR THEM BEFORE SHE WAS AGAINST THEM
Tulsa Senator Now Emulating John Kerry and Barack Obama



OKLAHOMA CITY – Just last weekend, Tulsa Senator Nancy Riley expressed her thanks for high gas prices because "That is what is helping sustain the state's economy" (Broken Arrow Ledger, July 5, 2008). Now, just four days later, Riley is quoted in another suburban Tulsa newspaper lamenting high energy prices because of their impact on local school districts.


According to the Sand Springs Leader (July 9, 2008), she bemoaned high energy prices, saying "They (local school districts) will now have to balance their budgets on the backs of our kids."


“So, it appears Nancy Riley was for high gas prices before she was against them,” said Randy Swanson, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Republican Senatorial Committee. “Another John Kerry moment from Nancy.”


Swanson’s reference to “another” refers to Riley’s vote against a pro-life bill which would have prohibited state-owned facilities from performing abortions (SB 714) in 2007, and twice to sustain Governor Henry’s veto of the bill -- only to later vote in favor of a similar bill (SB 139), which became law. This flip-flop came after she had signed a pledge to vote against any taxpayer funding of abortions when she first ran for the Senate.


Riley has also flip-flopped on lawsuit reform legislation over the past years. See was for lawsuit reform before she was against it.


“Nancy Riley can’t decide who she is or what she stands for,” said Swanson. “But it’s very clear who she patterns her political career after.


“First she runs for office as a conservative Republican, and then switches to become a liberal Democrat, much like Hillary Rodham Clinton.


“Then, she follows Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lead in supporting higher energy prices -- but then bemoans the high cost of energy. She was for it before she was against it, a la John Kerry,” he continued.


“Throw in Barack Obama’s flip flops on the important issues of the day, and one clearly see can whose campaign playbook Nancy Riley has been studying.


“Does Nancy Riley have any core values? The voters of Senate District 37, and indeed the citizens of Oklahoma deserve to know,” Swanson concluded.
