I think it’s safe to say that McCain has NO CHANCE for reelection in Arizona 2010. It won’t matter if Satan himself is running against him. His opponent was the antichrist and McCain only got 53% in AZ. Both Obama and Palin won 61+% in their respective home states.

That’s my hometown. My dad drinks coffee in that cafe with some of those men. He was Republican when Republican wasn’t cool. He’s still to the right of Goldwater and Reagan. :-)

Oklahoma also has two of the best senators in the country: Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn.

I knew I loved that song “I’m Proud to be an Okie from Muskokee” for a reason! :O)

I'm from CA and I love that song too!

I’m stuck here in moonbat controlled Oregon. We’re thinking of moving and I’ve got my eye on OK. SW Missouri is also on my short list. My husband and I are looking to start up a small business soon (can’t be too successful though) and need to find a good, conservative place with low taxes.

The funny thing about trying to make us Southern Democrats is that we were not a state until 1907 so we were not involved as a State in the Civil War. The south never claims us. We are in the heart of Middle America with a large Native American population. The Chief of the Cherokees is a Republican.

My friend works for the Cherokees. I guess the CEO endorsed Obama saying it was better for the casinos for poor people to have money, they would go and waste it in the casinos.

On the one hand I find that kind of preying on people a terrible thing, on the other I admire the blunt honesty of it.

OK belongs in the Midwest. But the pull of Little Dixie the southeast is strong and OK shares cultural and political attitudes in common with TX to its south. The movement to the GOP has been somewhat slower than in the South but its been happening nonetheless.

Oklahomans are also protecting their state by passing one of the toughest anti-illegal immigrant bills in the past year or two. What I would give to live amongst like-minded people right now!! I’m working/living in San Francisco right now...imagine the horror.

I thought your rally cry was “own the center” - that doesn’t sound very conservative to me.

My hubby says I’m such a nerd for loving that song. *LOL* I sing it all the time. My favorite lines:

We don’t make a party out of lovin’;
We like holdin’ hands and pitchin’ woo;
We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all.

Nobody was going to dislodge Henry in ‘06. Istook I’m surprised even decided to give up a safe seat to do a kamikaze run. I wouldn’t be so harsh towards him.

Please make room for me when I retire in 20 years. PA is a lost cause anymore. What are your gun laws like?

There were quite a few states out of the 20+ we took where the result was 2 to 1 or more Republican.

All is not lost, I hope.

Republican Blue is a much better color. Too much Red Rodent Communist in this election elsewhere.

Make room in San Francisco?? You can have my spot. I’m not from Oklahoma, unfortunately.

I like your blue-state agenda. It’s is true.

LOL, sorry about that. Of course I meant OK ;^) The Treasury doesn’t print enough dough to get me to move to NJ, let alone CA!
