Lessons Learned From FEC’s Presidential Election Results

[RickN]

You won't get any arguments on that point. Except from the OK Republican and the OK Democratic Party!

Of course not. Nobody wants to make it easier for someone else to take their job. Like I have been saying for years, the trick is for all of those who support other parties to get busy and collect enough signatures to get their party on the ballot. Start at the local elections and build a base to get the rules changed. Until then all it is, is whining.

If there were any ethics in Oklahoma politics, the trick would be to eliminate or amend these onerous and capricious ballot access laws, to come more in line with the other 49 states. Unethical is unethical, regardless of which party you happent to identify with.

Apparently no one told them that holding office isn't a job.

It does not matter one bit.. If you had 15 people on the ballot it would still just be one of two people that would be elected.

Since when has there been ethics in any politics?

They work, they get paid for it, that is a job no matter how fancy or noble a title you give it.

This!!!! At least until the other parties win enough local offices and show the people that they are worth supporting.

You are correct, allow me to reword:

Apparently no one told them that holding office isn't a career. It's something you do in service to your country IN ADDITION TO your normal occupation.

Unfortunately it has been a career for far to many of them for a long time. On the other hand you get dip$hits like Obama with no experience and no idea what they are doing. I am not sure which is worse.

No I do not agree but it was a great place to slip in a RP joke.

Not really.

But continue to vote straight-party for the next wave of establishment RINOs from the dying GOP. That'll show 'em.

If they are that stupid then they shouldn't be voting in the first place!
