Make that lots of money. And they hope to raise over $100 million this year. Some say this is the year when real campaign platforms are set. Not by polling; oh no! But by whoever has the deepest pockets and most ambitious plans to roll Washington to their liking.

  While it doesn't look exciting to most U.S. voters, the reports on campaign financing will tell us very much about who the real front runners are. Several will keep their candidacy in the 'exploratory' phase until they reach a predetermined milestone.
 

  But others have had fairly good success in moving ahead into the primary months while "living off the land". Buchanan, Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Santorum have demonstrated staying power simply off their populist movement appeal. But none of them have ultimately won a GOP presidential nomination. Good campaigns require national organizing, and that costs massive amounts of money. By this fall, if a candidate doesn't have competent leaders organizing every state primary, he won't find his name on many of the state ballots in the early 2016 primary voting.

  In just 2 months, the euphoria of electoral relief has been devastatingly hampered by the neutered behavior of a greatly diminished John Boehner of Ohio.
  Gohmert has comported himself with distinction in his consistent stand for economic growth, integrity in foreign affairs, government oversight, limited federal powers, national security, and separation of powers.
  For this reason, the editorial review of SoonerPolitics fully supports this wise and reasonable alternative to the capitulating demeanor of a whipped puppy from the Clinton era.
 We congratulate the great conservative leaders who have boldly stated their opposition to yet another session of disappointment and embarrassment.

   A grieving woman's attempt to cover her sobbing face could become an illegal act, in Oklahoma.  The chairman of the Oklahoma Senate Public Safety Committee wrote legislation and is preparing to push for passage. 

  Chairman Don Barrington's bill [ http://goo.gl/FjFyR1 ] will only allow covering one's face in public if it meets 1 of the 10 stated reasons.  While KKK parades will still be allowed, distraught widows will not be allowed to cloak their grief.

Oglers celebrate the right to intrude.

  By inserting the phrase "or other disguise" the law would determine anything to be a disguise if it disguises you. Whether it's your hand, an umbrella, a veil, or sunglasses.
   Oklahoma already has a statute in the books which states that it is illegal to conceal one's identity in the commission of a crime. This new legislation is seen as a way to allow the ever expanding network of public surveillance cameras to readily identify every individual and keep a detailedjournal of the daily interactions and habits of every person.
  One now does not have to be a chronic paranoid to begin wondering if George Orwell's "1984" or an East German cold war era government isn't becoming a very real American experience.

   Tell Don Barrington to withdraw his bill immediately.
