As Republican groups around the state begin mobilization for a heated primary race, many have been expressing shock and deep regret regarding the choices they made, too years ago. Their expressions are consistent and repetitive; "He told me he was a fiscal conservative." "She said she was focused on ending waste and protecting taxpayers." Of the 70 Republicans in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, a majority voted to not only raise taxes, but also to dismantle constitutional rights of the people against a legislature who oppresses the people by escalating taxation. The map on the left shows the districts (shaded purple) where a Republican voted more liberal than the House Democrats. 75% of the Democrat Caucus rejected the plea of House leadership when asked to join the effort to raise taxes, yesterday. |
