To you guys know your Lt. Governor is a total whack job?

[Daylin Byak]

I'm trying to state that as nice as I could but failed to do so. If you don't who i'm talking about i'm referring to Repuke Mary Fallin who is very likely to succeed Earnest Istook Jr in the 5th Congressional District of Oklahoma.

Just for kicks I went to her campaign site just to see what here platform is all about and I find it weird that on the issues page she actually brags about being pro-life which is weird cause usually politicians and candidates usually sway away from that issue in a campaign. Here's what i'm talking about:


Pro-Life Issues

"I have always been pro-life, and I am glad that the pendulum is finally swinging back to common sense on this vital issue. More and more Americans are coming to realize that a society that fails to protect the most vulnerable is not a healthy society at all. I support efforts in our state legislature and in Congress to prohibit partial birth abortion and to require parental notification when minors seek abortions. I also favor recent efforts that insist that ultrasound results be made available to all pregnant women. President Bush has continued to appoint federal judges and members of the U. S. Supreme Court who honor and value life ... and I am hopeful that one day soon the courts will re-examine and reverse Roe v. Wade.
Life matters ... and I say that as a mother who campaigned for my first elective office while I was expecting my second child."



Talk about activist judges, she actually praises Chimpy for stocking the SCOTUS with people who will eventually turn over the right for a woman to choose. Damn she must be in a real safe district if she's saying stuff like that, then again it's Oklahoma where Democrats are Republicans in disguise sadly, I'm amazed that there are liberal Okies that actually post on here. Good for you

Tough to be a liberal in a state where that word is just as bad as saying a real dirty word

1. Yep. Can't stand her.

2. She's a wacko for sure

3. What she doesn't tell you ....

...is that she loved her family so much she went out and fucked one of her bodyguard state troopers, and her husband kicked her to the curb. But she'll probably tell you that if we let two people of the same sex marry it will ruin the sanctity of marriage. She's a hypocrite.

Lt. Gov's bodyguard quits amid allegations of affair

December 8, 1998 AP

OKLAHOMA CITY An Oklahoma Highway Patrol bodyguard for Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin has resigned after admitting ''unprofessional conduct'' amid allegations by her estranged husband that she had an affair with a bodyguard.

Mrs. Fallin, a Republican who was elected to a second term last month, filed for divorce last week. At a hearing, Fallin's attorney raised an allegation about the lieutenant governor having an affair with an unidentified bodyguard.

In a statement Monday, Public Safety Commissioner Bob Ricks said rumors surfaced in early September about ''alleged unprofessional conduct between a member of the executive security detail and the lieutenant governor.''

The statement said the trooper first denied the allegations, but was again questioned late last month and ''admitted to unprofessional conduct and was permitted to resign. That resignation was accepted last week. His admission did not indicate that sexual activity was involved.''

The trooper was not identified and Ricks was reported unavailable for further discussion of the matter.

Lana Tyree, Mrs. Fallin's attorney, later issued a statement saying the lieutenant governor would have no comment.

''Out of legitimate concern for the privacy and welfare of her minor children through the Christmas holidays, Lieutenant Governor Mary Fallin, having denied the allegations, will not respond to or debate these issues in the media and will make no further public comment,'' the statement said. Mrs. Fallin, 43, and her husband have two children, ages 11 and 8.

In court, Mrs. Fallin had said the allegations of an affair with a bodyguard were a rumor started by her husband. At last week's hearing, District Judge Jerry Bass prevented Fallin's attorney from pursuing questions about an alleged affair.

In response to a question from his wife's attorney, Mr. Fallin said he had hired a private investigator to follow her.

Another hearing in the divorce case is set for next Monday.

4. Very much aware ...

I'll put it this way. When I first became aware of who Katherine Harris was, I thought ol' Mary had moved to Florida.

6. One more thing...

She keeps bragging about all she's done for the state. The only she has done is got some movies to shoot here. Big fucking deal. She had nothing to do with anything else that has gone on in the state.

7. Other things?

>She had nothing to do with anything else that has gone on in the state.

Has anything else actually gone on in this state? We seem to have trouble just funding bridge repair...

8. First of all, welcome to DU...

Secondly, with Brad Henry as Governor we've made some progress in the state, at least I THINK. I could be wrong.
