The people on death row had their chance and they F-ed it up. Apples and Oranges.

And if Democrats started being homophobes just to win over the Duck Dynasty/Honey Boo Boo crowd, then the LGBT crowd would be completely defenseless, and forced births would be next.

No sale
Pro death penalty simply favors innocent lives over the lives of homocidal individuals.

Makes sense.
More like forced adherence to the doctrine and rules of the Southern Baptist church.

I don't know why Republicans hate Iran so much. It's their dream society, only it's based on the Koran and not the Bible.

Well that and just maybe because the people running for the democrats are bunch of whack jobs you wouldn't hire to manage a Dairy Queen.

Trump wouldn't even be capable of managing that Dairy Queen. He's destroying this country and you don't care because he hates the same people you do.

So who wants to live in Oklahoma City? You sure don't yearn to go there for the weather unless you want to major in meteorology at OU.

You don't want to move there for the roads, either. Oklahoma Republicans recently raised the gas tax to 3 cents, and it wasn't even to fix the roads. Lovecrowds needs to think of better places to do his silly comparisons.

In state wide Oklahoma political races, definitely true, but my district elected a Democrat again for state rep and Oklahoma City voted for its first Democrat to Congress in decades. I don't recall sanctity of life and traditional marriage coming up as major issues hotly debated in those two races, assuming both Democrats were pro choice and pro gay.

Interestingly, one Oklahoma State Senator decided not to run for reelection in 2020, because Republican leaders at the State Capitol are too liberal for him, probably having to with their refusal to pass his extreme anti abortion and anti gay bills as well as for not gutting the citizen initiative that legalized medical marijuana. He will, instead, try his luck at running for Congressman.

California can't even keep the electricity on to the point of being like a third world country. But they have money for social engineering and incentive programs for ILLEGAL ALIENS. Overly expensive for everything, shy high taxes, but can't provide essential services like electricity or feces removal.

Sanctity of life - yeah, right. This from the gang that favors the death penalty; has no problem with mass shootings as long as gun lovers get to keep their semi-automatics; is desperately trying to get rid of health insurance for as many Americans as possible; and wants to deprive the elderly and little kids of their food by doing away with the SNAP program.

What's worse? Being a member of the "elite" or being a hypocrite?

If the nation paid as much as the government rips off Californians with high taxes on electric and gas the nation would likely be in a huge recession or close to a depression by now.

Conservative Republican Oklahoma sure makes life easy for average Joe's and Jane's with it's rock-bottom gas and electric prices. Very low taxes also across the board also compared to California.

The great people of the great state of Oklahoma love their cheap fuel, very low electric prices and very low taxes.


How odd how many liberals pretend that the Democrats are interested in the bread and butter interests of the middle-class.


Cost to fill up a 20 gallon truck in OKC is about $44 as opposed to $87 in San Francisco.

Gallon of gas in OKC: $2.26
Gallon of gas in San Francisco: $4.35

Price per KWH based on 1,000 KwH
Oklahoma City: 9.7 cents
San Francisco: 25.8 cents
