Oklahoma’s Inhofe launches homophobic campaign
(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe has a reputation for tough campaign tactics, as his Democratic challenger is finding out the hard way.

An Inhofe ad being carried on Oklahoma television stations contains anti-gay overtones, showing a wedding cake topped by two plastic grooms and a photo of the Democratic candidate as a young man, curly haired and wearing a leather jacket.

Andrew Rice has responded with a commercial saying the attacks are “not true” and an indication Inhofe will do anything to keep his job, while avoiding talking about such issues as energy and the economy.

“He’s trying to morph me into something I’m not. What he’s doing is attacking my character,” Rice said Wednesday of the ad, which calls Rice “too liberal for Oklahoma.”

Inhofe said the ad is accurate. He pointed to news stories that Rice, before he became a state senator in 2006, founded a group that opposed a constitutional amendment to bar same-sex marriages.

5. Inhofe is a Repub. That's what they do: lie about their opponent' s character and avoid discussion
of all issues. Just look at McSame!

7. He is absolutely one of the worst - if not THE worst - Senators. His stance on global warming
alone makes him that, but he seems like a general jerk-o as well.
