Current Events > Oklahoma Governor race is absurd.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Other than Mick Cornett, most of what the guys lean on getting less regulations in an oil state and getting rid of abortion.

This in despite we just had a teach we walkout due to them not getting raises in well over a decade, detoritating conditions,etc. oklahoma is below national average in education.

Oklahoma is also 8 percent more than the national average with poverty stricken families. Republicans want to take medicare/Medicaid and rip it to shreds. What happens to the poor people that actually work, but still cant afford a necessity that is healthcare? Prescriptions?

Oklahomans are also fatter than the national average. Ill lean more towards this is a personal choice and government doesnt have much to do with it, but some people I know have to work two-three jobs and theyre exhausted. Just want to go to a drive thru and get Home to their families. The average house hold income in Oklahoma is an astonishing 46k.

I cant fathom why your platform would be abortions rather than Lets fix education and other things will start falling into place. Lets make sure people have at least a chance for healthcare

/end rant.

Move to Oklahoma. Youll do fine here. I hope you enjoy a poor economy and the highest incarceration rate in the United States due to the crime being so high.

Who would have thought having a poor economy, poor education, and poor mental health would make the crime rate higher? Weird.

Oklahoma is kind of a dumpster fire of a state. What's worse is that both Democrats and Republicans are super conservative so basically nothing changes no matter who's in power.

it's almost like less control over the economy won't encourage competitors and new start ups to bring finance and wealth to an area and outlawing the murder of growing babies in a mother's womb is terrible immoral!! nah, lets just forget condoms and the day after pill exists. CVS is too far away and charging exorbitant high prices for them, amirite guiz?

Its almost like the environment doesn't exist and poor people are getting dicked already!

Abortion should not be a priority issue in a failing state. Sorry fam

I kinda wonder if politicians in these deep red states are even amazed at how dumb a lot of the citizenry is and how openly corrupt they can be and still get elected.

This is true for deep blue states as well, though in a different way.

Just replace corrupt, hypocritical morality police with corrupt, hypocritical public service no-bid contracts

I've become so jaded about politics that I just can't anymore
