Conservatives Divided On 3 State Questions

10/20/2016

SoonerPolitics.org provides coverage of both camps' messages

Of the several state questions being decided in next month's election, three are drawing both criticism and applause from various conservative groups.
Conservatives are generally supporting measures of religious tolerance and the constitutionality of a death penalty. But specifying regulatory limits on agriculture has proven contentious to many groups. So have measures of marketing some liquor products or how seriously should we treat simple possession of some drugs.

SoonerPolitics.org has given the campaigns exclusive opportunities to get out their messages. www.soonerpolitics.org/sooner-issues

On state question 777, the editorial board of SoonerPolitics.org has been rather disappointed in the failures of both camps. The pro side has not addressed the concerns of metro area voters whose only direct concern is safe drinking water. The con side has developed narratives of apocalyptic consequences which the plain language of the initiative come nowhere near resembling.
On 780& 792, we have two strong political forces divided. The "moral majority" Republicans oppose any softening of our prohibition policies. The "liberty" Republicans believe personal consumption is a personal decision and govt.should focus only on threats to public safety and child exploitation. SQ780 does not legalize possession, but does reduce it to a misdemeanor (unless distribution charges are filed).

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
