Georgianna Oliver attacks Sullivan mailer

[Double A]

I can't stand either of them. I'll be leaving that part of the ballot blank.

I know Georgianna Oliver. She is very, very conservative for a democrat.

I am voting for her....

I'm SHOCKED that you are voting for a democrat.

I know...me too!

It is a good time to be a democrat. Come join us...

Do not get me wrong: the Democrats are a disaster.  If I were a Dem I would be embarassed.

And the Repubs shouldn't be ashamed right now why?  Especially those 'fiscal conservatives'.  Which seem to be an endangered species these days.

I can see that, one is a republican and the other is a woman.

This is one Republican that will be voting for Georgianna Oliver.

Coburn is the poster child of fiscal conservatism.

Sullivan left DC this afternoon with a ghostly, hanging sound-bite.  "25% unemployment".  Joe Kelley was asking what he meant by that.  No one could find him to clarify.

He needs to answer to this, nothing like creating a whole lot of economic hysteria with a sound bite then jumping on your flight for home.

He might have just lost my vote.  If you want to create a recession or depression, keep talking about it and it will happen.  This was terribly irresponsible.

So he had no idea why he voted the way he did or even what he voted on and he deserves to stay?  What will it take for Ms. Oliver to win your vote, or is it just a matter - as it is for me - of 'Sully' losing your confidence?  Lead, follow, or get out of the way, 'Sully.'

Tim,

I knew Sullivan was going to be a water carrier for the GOP and would toe the line 95% of the time with them.  He's a "Limbaugh Conservative" of average intelligence which is mostly annoying to me.  If there had been a quality Democrat opponent last time who would be along the lines of a Jim Jones or David Boren "conservative" I'd have voted for them likely.  The Dems just allowed him to win last time by putting up Genteges.  

I met Georgianna Oliver at the Dem booth at the fair when I was there with Karen Keith the opening Saturday, and I was impressed with her.

I was going to vote for Sully again this year as I still do have the feeling Oliver was carpet-bagged in by national interests.  However, I gotta say, Sullivan shot down any confidence I had left in him with the statement I mentioned.  Honestly, I don't think I can support Sullivan's cluelessness and "go along at any cost" attitude anymore.  

I do appreciate what he's accomplished on immigration enforcement in the area, but between that and becoming a sock-puppet for the hospice industry, those have been the only two notable issues for him.  

I just don't think I can send him back in good conscience after this gaffe.

I used to party with Sullivan back in the Bishop Kelley days. He was a moron back then. When I moved back to Tulsa I met him for breakfast at Wild Fork regarding some business. I thought the guy must have made a life change for the better since he was elected to public office and all. But while listening to him talk I realized he had actually lost IQ points over the years.

Jim Jones? Ya, he was a good one.

I am voting for Georgianna too. She is one of three democrats that will get my vote this year.

Mr. Burns, were you one of the "SOB's" from BK?

You and I appear to be from the same era, I was a year behind John but went to different "Catlick" school.  

I would imagine if the Keatings could have legally exposed Sullivan's juvenile record, Cathy Keating would be our rep now, not John.  I've still never figured out how he became the local GOP sweetheart, unless they found the perfect go-along dupe in him.

Nice enough guy, but nice only goes so far.

You know what strikes me as odd? Not one person is even mildly defending 'Sully.' Not one.  Guess that means his stupidity is pretty much indefensible.

Yepper I am from that era. You know the era where Bishop Kelley was burned down by three students, fortunately for one student, he was passed out drunk in the getaway car. []

I went to Booker T. Washington. During high school I dated a girl at Kelley and hung out with her group that included the Sullivan brothers.

With all this talk about the trouble BTW has had this week it made me think back on those Kelley days. I never saw so many people involved with drugs, drinking and violence as I did with that Kelley crew. And, I even grew up on the northside.

I agree, I just don't get how people can vote for him. It is truly astonishing.

I think we've seen enough of Sully.  Tulsa is, what, the 50th largest MSA in the country?  Are we getting that sort of representation out of him?  I don't see it, necessarily.  I believe there are also some GOP's tired of the constant "trust me" mantra of the Republican Party.

I wouldn't feel too guilty about voting him out of office, I'm sure he will have a much better paying career on K Street.

According to an inside source, polling numbers show Sullivan's lead diminishing greatly, about to enter single digits or disappear altogether.

I hope he's got his resume current.

Wow.

That would be amazing, if true. But the again, I don't know of *anyone* who's been impressed with Sullivan's performance as a congressman.

[Hometown]

First time he voted against the bailout.  Second time he voted for it.

I'll say something nice about Sullivan.  He saw the light and corrected the error he made on the first vote.

Unfortunately for him and us, he has played a major role in Oklahoma's misguided anti-immigrant crusade that resulted in HB1804.  Though he apparently has seen some light on this issue because he is now advocating a guest worker program.  I imagine the Chamber of Commerce had a good long talk with him about labor shortages in Oklahoma.

His role in the anti-immigrant crusade has guaranteed that he will always remain in history's Xenophobe column along with the likes of Pete Wilson and Lou Dobbs and scores of minor racists in Oklahoma.

I am voting for Oliver and I imagine she will benefit from the coming Democrat tide but she is no where the quality of a "Dan Boren."  Oklahoma needs at least 20 Dan Borens.  He is one of just a very small number of first class Oklahoma Democrats.
