Mayor Taylor won't run

[Cats Cats Cats]

The substance Sullivan should be judged on for job performance is legislation accomplished.  What'd I say?  Something like 26 out of 30 bills he authored died in committee?  Missed 7% of the votes since '02 which is higher than average but still lower than the absentee records of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.

Now, is that due to an alcohol problem, or does he simply have a work ethic problem?  He's a good follower, the perfect rank-and-file go-along guy.

I am asking what part of the 93% had he been drinking.  Not how much did he miss as that is a known.

And you can't hold absentee records of people running for President up to those drinking at home.

The absenteeism I was referring to was before either Senator was "actively" campaigning for POTUS.  McCain's wife owns a large beer distributorship, hangovers are a biznitch.  Connect the dots.

No idea how much of the 93% he'd been drinking, if at all.  If he feels the need to fess up to something, assuming he did drink on the job, he will tell us.  If anyone is in doubt about that and think he deserves to be fired over it, they can vote against him.  If I vote against Congressman Sullivan in 2010, it will be because someone finally put up a capable alternative, not because he got honest with himself and others and checked into the BFC.

I've known (as we all do) many functioning alcoholics who would never, ever drink on the job and they show up every morning for work and do very good work.  Not every alcoholic wakes up and takes a snort before heading to work, nor are they all the head of a broken family.  There are a lot of mistaken stereotypes of addicts.

Malarkey. He's been dipping into the sauce for some time.

The devils in our society have hope for those afflicted with the awful scourge of drug addiction. But if society is going to treat their victims differently because one drug is legal and the others are not, we say malarkey.

CoCo, again....what has Sullivan done for Tulsa? His time has come and gone.

Look for the mayor to make some big decisions and drastic changes now that she is not seeking re election. And don't anticipate that she will run for 1st district congress person.....nor for Senator.

You obviously don't read the obvious points in my posts.  I've pointed to him as being an legislator of questionable effectiveness and strict party-liner of medium intelligence not just in this thread but for some time.  Any of us who knew Sullivan since high school know he was a beer drinking thug, that's not news either.  Other than securing an ICE office for Tulsa, I can't point to anything substantive he's done for the district that would not have happened with another party-liner.

At least he admits there's an addiction issue.  You still deny it's possible to be addicted to weed.  There's great scientific evidence of psychological addiction, but you'll never read that in Rolling Stone or Mother Jones.  Everything is good in moderation.

Moderation is where it's at for the disciplined part of society. Self discipline underlies ethical behavior. Why else do so many politicians get exposed for their weakness. It's hard to act from strength when you live by the mercy of your past.

CoCo, that garbage about pot addiction don't fly. So don't light the fuse. Besides, alcohol addiction is far more harmful to society.
As a matter of fact, what's a pot addict going to do all day? It's hard to find road accidents caused by pot, especially compared to big pharma drugs and cell phones and booze.

You really love to play that "hypocrite" card when it least applies.

Cascia sucks.

Now, back to the thread.
