I dunno, I'm not seeing many Fetterman/Shapiro signs in Mt. Lebo. For the most part the people who do have them are the same people who also have "We See Gay People" and "In This House We Believe..." signs in front of their houses too. In other, words, the hard leftists. I realize that it's still early, but I'm not seeing much support for the Dem candidates from moderates so far in Political Sign Central. On the ultra-bright side: there aren't any Conor Lamb signs this year, either.

I remember those same claims made here in 2020 Biden didn't have nearly as many yard signs as Trump did. That argument didn't age well.

At least one has advertised that he is 100% pro-life with no exceptions. They don't care standing for that may discourage good paying jobs to come to Oklahoma. It is interesting that Oklahoma lost a massive new battery plant to Kansas that will employ up to 4000 people.

They are still against legalizing marijuana. They want to replace public schools with private schools, preferably religious ones. The only thing they want to do about crime is fortify all schools to discourage mass shooters.
I'm having a difficult time to believe that GOP Republicans in OK aren't talking about inflation, high gas price, supply shortage, etc (in addition to whatever you just said) as a way to attack the Dems and boot out the Dems in November. That's literally free ammo for the GOP

Yeah, sure

But please keep on lying Stillwater

Not in this town that I'm talking about. By mid-August of 2020 every other house had a Biden sign in front of it. Every house had a Conor Lamb sign.

Listen here, it's still true that Republicans in Oklahoma running for political office aren't showing concern for high gas prices and other problems. One of them, Mullin, for the primary endlessly ran ads expressing his opposition to transgender students playing in public school sports. This even though, the Oklahoma Legislature had passed a law banning transgenders from playing in school sports. He proves he's against state rights, so there is no way I'm voting for Mullin in November. For further obvious proof he is against state rights, he favors a national ban on abortion.

A standout example of just how totally right I am is this recent pointless ad by Mullin against transgenders. Not one word of concern about high gas prices, supply shortages or inflation.

Whatever slim chance the GOP had of blowing the midterms just evaporated today. Thanks Dems!

I wasn't lying. I was referring to their campaign ads. Turning to Mullin's recent debate with his runoff opponent wasn't inspiring to hear either. That wasn't too hard to do. Neither was his opponent. They both spent time telling how much they supported Trump and agreed with each other the election was rigged. However, at least a couple of high-profile Oklahoma Republicans don't agree and feel Trump lost fair and square with not one scintilla of evidence, to indicate there was enough fraud to change the outcome. If you are a believer in state's rights, both sure don't believe in it. Both want abortion banned at the national level.

The majority of Oklahomans want abortion regulated, not banned or nearly so. Most of the rest of the nation feels the same way. Yet more horror stories about what happened to women due to abortion bans certainly won't help Republicans get votes in November.

Biden didn`t draw tens of thousands of Deplorables to any rallies either. For some people, that`s proof that he stole an election.

Are you talking about these people at Trump rallies?
