[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1299723, member: 4235"] I absolutely detest Mary Fallin for voting for the bailout, and I wrote her a letter stating that I would do everything I could to ensure that she never held political office again in this state after that vote. I think she is an unprincipled opportunist, and is only pro-"freedom," as the NRA flyer says, when it is convenient (which, let's face it, is not very often for a politician). I don't know, though... I'm still thinking about voting for her in this election, just because when it comes to state issues, I think she would be better than Askins. I have to say, gun control is one of the biggest issues when it comes to state government. I'm sure Jeri Askins would shoot down any kind of open carry, firearms freedom act, or concealed carry on campus law that would come her way, just like Brad Henry did. I think Fallin would at least sign off on open carry and the firearms freedom act. Gun control is one of the very few issues with which we actually have a possibility of advancing liberty on the state level. Fallin also supposedly supports resisting mandatory health insurance, though I don't think she has the balls for outright nullification and interposition, like Brogdon would have. As Governor, she really wouldn't be dealing with issues like national economic regulation, bailouts, and foreign policy, so the fact that I disagree with her on those things doesn't matter as much. The only thing I'm worried about is prolonging her political career. I definitely don't want to see her become established in politics. It may be best in the long run to send her home this election, and hope we can get Brodgon in next time around. Maybe it would be better for the GOP in the long run if we concentrated on purging ourselves of all the statist candidates within our ranks before worrying about beating the Democrats. That's why I abstained from the '08 presidential election. I think that Askins has this one in the bag. Too many in the GOP (like 1shot(bob)) can't stand Fallin for her bailout vote and will not vote for her no matter who's running against her. We Republicans definitely shot ourselves in the foot when we nominated her... she was the Democrats' favorite in the primary for that reason. One thing is for sure... she MAY get my vote, but I will not be campaigning for her or giving her any money. [/QUOTE]
