He's been all over the globull warming scammers.
As a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, minority leader of the Oklahoma Senate, mayor of Tulsa, congressman from Oklahoma’s First Congressional District, to his present role as Oklahoma’s senior U.S. Senator, Jim has served Oklahomans with pride and honor.
From his post as the second ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jim has gained a reputation as an expert on defense and national security issues. Not only is Jim a strong supporter of Oklahoma’s defense industry and military community, he has also been a tireless advocate for providing greater resources, the necessary equipment, and proper training to our military personnel fighting the War on Terror and combating global threats to our nation’s security. Jim has been to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as any other member of Congress since the beginning of the War on Terror.
Jim is a lifelong Oklahoman who grew up in Tulsa and graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in economics. He served in the U.S. Army and has been a small businessman working in aviation, real estate, and insurance for over 30 years.
Inhofe has been married 50 years to his wife, Kay, and has four grown children and twelve grandchildren. During his service in Washington, he commutes back home to Oklahoma almost every weekend.
Sorry to run away, I’m making Sunday potroast. I’m not well versed in politics and most decisions that I make about candidates are based on years of observing their actions and records in the media. Years ago, I made a judgement about Inhof from remarks that he made and positions that he took on different issues of the time. I don’t remember what they even were now but I considered him a bit of a hot-head. Then about a year ago, I listened to a decision that he made in connection with his position on the Arm Services Committee. His point of view was nuanced and so well-reasoned. I wondered if he had aged and mellowed or had just blossomed into this thoughtful leader. My opinion of him went way up. Much the same thing happened with Bobby Jindal. These last few months,he has shown enormous care and honesty and down-to-earth leadership abilities in dealing with the oil spill in his state. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, slid into his bluejeans and went to work.
I don’t want to vote for either of them, though. I am so fearful of the vulnerable position of the country that I really want to vote for a military leader. I want a big mean man who will restore our “number 1” status. I want America on top and dominating the rest of the world forever. We have been blessed by God and our next leader needs to know that and appreciate it and fight for it or I won’t be voting for him.
I’m sorry if this sounds like some cornball rant. I guess it is but this is how I feel about it.
No one should have to see their president sauntering along with a smirky grin on his face and sunglasses carrying a copy of that book about “A Post America World” or whatever it was called. Bowing to his Saudi masters. Good Grief. I am severely traumatized over this asshole presidency.
I love Inhofe. I don’t think he’ll run, though.
