Bob Russell's Blog – January 2013 Archive (6)

                        I attended a town hall meeting in Claremore on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 featuring Markwayne Mullin, the newly elected congressman from Oklahoma’s 2^nd District.  Some of his statements sounded strange coming from a “conservative” but one response to a question bothered me more than the rest.

 A man asked Mullin about the executive orders being used by Barack Obama to by-pass Congress, and what can be done to nullify them. …

I came home from visiting a daughter yesterday evening and found my brightest moment of the young year.  I had a notification from a social network site I belong to, Tea Party Command Center, of a story about the “Gun Appreciation Day” event in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Saturday Jan. 19, 2013.  It featured a video of a newly elected state senator speaking about the constitutional rights of We the People.  The video was beyond inspiring to me.

Newly elected Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Ok 2) was on KFAQ radio’s Pat Campbell Show on Tuesday Jan. 8 to “explain” his vote for John Boehner as Speaker of the House of Representatives (http://www.1170kfaq.com/podcasts/patcampbell/186021332.html).

 It seems Oklahoma’s fine senior senator once again has no qualms about telling We the People how stupid we are and how wonderful he is. With the “fiscal cliff” vote, in which he voted for the measure after taking an entire three minutes to peruse the 154 pages contained within, Senator Bullcrap took a great deal of criticism from local talk radio. Tulsa radio station KFAQ’s Pat Campbell Show listeners were highly critical. As a frequent listener I find Campbell to be very fiscally…
