Oklahoma Republicans keep spending money, even as state agencies are forced to cut budgets

More from the "do as I say, not as I do" GOP:

You can bet the state agencies hit hardest are those that help the working poor. It's amazing that so many here complain about the state, yet keep voting Republican year after year.

I truly believe my fellow Oklahomans would vote for Snuffy the Clown if he was on the Republican ticket. I have never met more people who vote straight ticket in my life than the Republicans here in Oklahoma. Many of them admit they don't even look at the ballot just hit "republican straight ticket".

I do notice some of the comments in the OKC newspaper online are more moderate these days, but I think it has more to do with the fact you have to log in via Facebookk to comment so people know who you are. Harder to be a nutcase when you have to sign your name to something your neighbors will see.
