Those Self Righteous folks are some of the nastiest people I know here in Oklahoma -- no way you can measure up to them unless you agree with them 100!. Better known here as the my way or no way crowd. You don't dare question anything or out you go. You are not worthy enough to be part of their group because they know everything.
Live with it here in OK and now it bit Republicans but nothing to what is about to happen in the OK House. One of our Republican State Reps voted 'present' in the election for Speaker of the House and now the Speaker and his cronies want to kick him out of the caucus. Even the Dems never had that rule.
The 'my way or no way' crowd is striking again if they go through with it on Monday in the Caucus. He also dared question how they spent campaign contributions which shall we say were not the most ethical spending in the State in 2006. Some might actually allege it was 'corrupt!' The alleged 'corruptness' brought to you courtesy of the 'my way or no way' crowd! The person they want to kick out is one of the best researchers I know and they are going to rue the day they took him on. In the last election, they got a primary opponent against him but he won handily.
This is an example of the social conservative movement here in OK that gave us Istook who lost by more than 2-1 in my Republican County to the Dem pro-abortion, anti-tort reform liberal trial attorney Governor. If the pendulum swung here, I cannot even imagine what it would do nationwide if we nominate the wrong candidate that is a social conservative.
