Murdock Signals 'Desperation' - Attacks McLarty In Senate Race

11/25/2017

Comments

 
  The special election to replace the disgraced Bryce Marlatt in the Oklahoma Senate is getting muddy. Casey Murdock is now launching a speculative attack on one of the most dedicated champions of the Republican Platform, Carolyn McLarty. Dr. McLarty has been an effective defender of Oklahoma fiscal and social conservatism as a member of the Republican National Committee & Chairing a subcommittee of the national party's platform committee.

  OKGOP leaders have expressed great disappointment at Murdock's besmirching of the retired veterinary physician from Woodward. McLarty has long been an active member of Oklahoma Eagle Forum and the Federation of Republican Women.

  McLarty's advocacy for traditional conservative values is far more reliable than is Murdock's shameful score of just 10% Conservative in the 2017 Conservative Index, and he scored a ZERO % Republican in the RINO Index for 2017.
Picture

  Murdock is getting desperate and sloppy.  His statements are dishonest and inaccurate.  Here is the truth.

  The total State budget is over 16 billion.  The shortfall from the unconstitutional cigarette tax was $214 million, just 1.2% of the budget. When our families Revenue comes in short, we have to reduce unnecessary expenses we can't just go and take money from our neighbors. 

  But Casey Murdock didn't want to cut wasteful spending. Instead he voted for the largest tax increase in State history, House Bill 1054X, a $500 million tax increase. That's like taking money away from your neighbor to pay your bills before you cut your own unnecessary expenses. 

  This tax increase if it is past would have killed thousands of oil field jobs, close down dozens of convenience stores in Border counties like in NW OK because people would just go across the state line to buy their items. And it would have been very unfair to rural voters, because it would have cost us each hundreds of dollars a year in extra fuel taxes. City people don't have to drive as far as we do here in rural Oklahoma. 

  And this tax increase was completely unnecessary. The budget bill that did pass, HB1019X, preserved funds for Rural hospitals, Rural schools and conservation districts without a tax increase by cutting Less Than 0.36% from less essential parts of state government.  But Casey Murdock voted no on this budget bill. By voting no on the budget bill, Murdock threatened funds for Rural hospitals and Rural schools. How can you justify voting yes on the huge tax increase and voting no to fund core services without a tax increase? 

  It's wrong to raise taxes when there is so much waste and corruption in state spending. Just look at the Scandal at the health department for an example of the corruption in our state government. Raising taxes now will accomplish nothing except covering up this corruption.

PictureA recent mailer being circulated in the NW Oklahoma Special Election for State Senate.
  The RINO index identifies liberal voting in the legislature. Of the 20 bills scored in the 2017 index, Murdock voted LIBERAL on all 20 of them.
  • HB 1427 Out of State Tax Collection
  • HB 1449 Electric Vehicle Tax
  • HB 1837 Lottery % Raid
  • HB 1845 REAL ID
  • HB 2131 10% sales tax rebate scheme
  • HB 2348 Deduction Freeze
  • HB 2351 Tax Incentive Credit
  • HB 2356 Franchise tax date move
  • HB 2367 Sales tax collector clawback
  • HB 2372 $1.50 cigarette tax increase
  • HB 2387 OJA bonds
  • HB 2389 Health Dept Bonds
  • HB 2403 Tax Deduction Limit
  • HB 2414 Log rolling 3 tax bill
  • HB 2433 Car Sales Tax
  • SB 38 Fee increase
  • SB 120 Aerospace Tax Credit Extension
  • SB 170 Income Tax Rate Cut Reversal
  • SB 786 Soft on Crime bill
  • SB 845 Smoking “fee”

  He voted for multimillion dollar tax increases on vehicle purchases, electric vehicle fees, a cut in personal deductions in our income taxes, a tobacco tax, a tax increase on petroleum royalties, and even voted to force a sales tax on purchases which Oklahomans make while in other states.

  If posting Murdock's voting public voting record  is negative, it's because he voted negatively. But to fantasize a narrative about one of Oklahoma's most trusted conservatives, is beyond shameful. It's utter desperation.

    ​"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

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 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.​
