I voted in Oklahoma

[Mortos]

Operation Rescue founder and twice married religious hypocrite, Randall Terry, is on my goddamn democratic ballot. Proudly voted for President Obama even though I had to show my driver's license and the old broad chastised me for not having my current address on it.

1. It's hard to be a liberal in Oklahoma.

How well I remember. Thanks for getting out there and voting. How did Terry make it on to the Democratic ticket? That's bizarre.

2. Not only bizarre, but we've even had to endure his gross, creepy anti-abortion

ads on our TVs and I live in Arkansas!

5. Terry targeted the town we live in

because of an abortion provider, filled the elementary school and middle school lockers with graphic images (as you've had to endure) and filled the jails. He cost our little village hundreds of thousand dollars with his protests and drove the doctor out of town. He went to prison for handing Bill Clinton a preserved fetus when he was in NYC campaigning. He went to prison for that act. How is it that he (an ex-con) can now run for president?

3. There are some regions of Oklahoma

that are traditionally Democratic and have been for generations. The definition and platform of the party has had to change
in keeping with the profound shift to the right of both parties. There are very few liberal Democrats that run for office and still fewer that win.

I don't find it hard to be liberal in OK as that's just who I am and how I think. It is amusing to me how my conservative
counterparts, and there are many, react to me.

6. I'm glad you are weathering the political atmosphere well.

It would drive me crazy to have Inhoff and Coburn 'represent' me. The Democrats in Oklahoma changed affiliations en masse when Lyndon Johnson stood up for civil rights. They didn't necessarily change parties, though. My dad maintained his D registration so he could vote as a spoiler in primaries.

4. Good for you

If you have a minute I would send a text to your local Registrar or voting supervisor and complain about the comments made to you, and to send a copy to the Democratic Party.

This is part of the systematic effort to indimidate voters. I am sure that if you were registered as a Republican you would have had a different reception.

7. "the old broad"? Really??

8. You need to update your DL.

They will tell you you have to vote provisional if you don't fix it before the general.
Not that it would matter anyway.
