Maughan Rises Above Rinehart
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department’s Fraternal Order of Police has given a no confidence vote in county Commissioner Brent Rinehart.
The vote comes after Rinehart lampooned Sheriff John Whetsel in a campaign comic book that also criticized Attorney General Drew Edmondson and gays.
FOP President Larry Grant says deputies have been frustrated with Rinehart for years and the comic book is “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Rinehart is also facing felony campaign corruption charges, a recent poll suggests his re-election campaign is in trouble and his fund-raising is slow.
The KWTV-9 poll of 440 likely voters found former county employee Brian Maughan with 35 percent support and Rinehart with about 20 percent. Former Bethany Mayor J.D. Johnston was just behind Rinehart and 28 percent were undecided.
The poll was conducted July 18th through 20th and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.

Any man who would put such emphasis on homosexuality probably fears it. Hopefully he will get some first hand experience behind bars. I think we should mail his twisted comic book to his fellow inmates once he is convicted.

If he fears it…could be because of the diseases.
You don’t really believe that anal breeding is main stream moral…do you leah?

Really F. G. Onions? You believe that homosexuality causes diseases? That believe is from the 1980s when people thought that AIDS was caused by homosexuals. Name me ONE (1) disease that is homosexual exclusive? Other wise keep your mouth shut

Rinehart’s the best man for the job. The Daily Disappointment has done a magnificent job of smearing this good man, and unless Drew Edmondsuck lines quite a few palms, he will be vindicated.

AIDS may not be exclusively a gay disease, but they’re the ones who seem to be the most susceptible to it…
…and that both men and women are infected. But statistically speaking, how “gay” is the disease?
In 2005 (the latest year for national numbers), the largest proportion of estimated new HIV/AIDS diagnoses were for men who have sex with men (MSM), followed by adults and adolescents infected through heterosexual contact. (The CDC reports its numbers as “estimated,” which we will drop in this article for the sake of simplicity.)
http://www.thebody.com/content/whatis/art42384.html
For that year, there were 28,037 new HIV diagnoses in men, and 9,893 in women.
Of the males, the largest risk factor — for 18,785 of them — was men who have sex with men (or MSM, a term that covers this group whether they consider themselves gay or not).
This means that half of all new HIV diagnoses, and two-thirds of all male diagnoses, were in MSM.
This data is based on only 33 states. For a copy of the “HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, 2005,” visit http://www.cdc.gov.

LMAO @ “anal breeding” and “main stream moral”. You’re either 90 years old or you’ve never had sex. Or perhaps both.
And seriously, if you look outside at the America around you and think the “main stream” of our vacuous, deteriorating culture is the place to be, then I simply pity you.

Hey, nlp, why don’t you go to some other country, if you hate America so much. Our culture is what made us great, and it will keep us great, as long as we don’t knuckle under to euro-trash UN fanatics.
8. nlp replies at 25th July 2008, 10:06 am :
Our culture has been corrupted and you haven’t even noticed. This isn’t the America of WWII. Now go spend some more money on stuff you don’t really need, pollute, waste, watch some brain-killing television and eat a hot dog while taking some sort of twisted pride in all the excesses of the cultural black hole you’re not only enabling but encouraging in the name of partisan politics.

I hear Sweden is nice this time of year — check it out. Whatever excesses we may indulge in, it’s the rugged individualism of our forefathers that some of us still embrace which keeps us the best nation on earth. Those who bash us would give both testicles to enjoy what we take for granted.
10. nlp replies at 25th July 2008, 11:43 am :
Rugged individualism? How much rugged individualism do you see on display in today’s America? It’s about the least apt discriptor one could muster for the U.S. right now. As Phil Gramm rightly noted a couple weeks ago, we’ve become a nation of spoiled whiners, in thrall to consumerism, celebrity worship, hypocrisy and wasteful, thoughtless lifestyles. “Mainstream” America is hardly worth celebrating, but rather something that is causing our regression to the mean, both economically and culturally.

Well, we can agree on a lot of that, but name one place that’s better. The problem with these America-bashers, whether they claim to be conservative or not, is that they want us to be more like the “global community”, forgetting that the “global community” would be down the crapper without us. Isn’t it a better idea to try to show a little pride in your country than to join the potheads and queers running it down?
