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.

"Turn-coat" Nancy Just Keeps on Digging Her Own Hole

Senate Race Getting Dirty

TULSA, OK -- We're less than two weeks away from Election Day and in some races, the campaigning is getting dirty. When it comes to the state senate race between Nancy Riley and challenger Dan Newberry the gloves are off.

He's a rookie with no experience in elected office. She's a practiced politician who made headlines for switching parties.

Two-term senator Nancy Riley is attacking her Republican opponent and his livelihood.

"Newberry personally profited from selling risky loans with excessive interest rates," said the Riley ad.

That claim is False. Court documents show many homeowners defaulted and had to foreclose, but the loans weren't risky.

Newberry lends at adjustable rates, some loans going from 10% up to 16%. But he says defaults are rare, and that a six-percent maximum increase isn't excessive.

Tulsa's Better Business Bureau calls his company satisfactory.

Newberry's camp is also in attack mode.

"Riley supports higher property taxes, taxpayer funded abortions," said the Newberry ad.

We'll put the True stamp on that one. Riley opposed lowering the property tax rate from five percent to three percent. She says lowering the cap would have actually created tax increases.

And the abortion bill aimed to end taxpayer-funded abortions except to save the mother's life. Riley says she supports exceptions for rape and incest victims which was not included in the original bill.

"She first ran as a conservative, and now is a liberal who stands with Barack Obama," said the Newberry ad.

That claim is half-true. Two years ago Riley switched parties in the middle of her term. She says she was dissatisfied with the GOP's continual effort to kill her bills, calling the Republican caucus hateful and vindictive. But Riley has never publicly supported or opposed either candidate for President.

Riley's campaign says she's got the experience and proven ability to work with both parties.

Newberry's camp says forget the spin, switching party's mid-stream was a stab in the back.
