Besides the obvious, like not getting enough votes to win, sometimes our lawmakers meet their demise due to untreatable medical conditions like tin ear, partial or complete deafness, undiagnosed dumbness, air headedness, no horse or any other kind of sense, but most often it's just the gradual loss of touchy/feely fingers except those directed toward well endowed ladies or wallets.
Serious charges indeed, so just how do I know these politically life threatening, mysterious maladies really exist? State questions. Usually when the proletariat – fancy word for "Ya'll" – vote overwhelmingly for or against a particular state question, most elected officials get the message. But not our elephant idiots in Oklahoma.
Here's a breakdown of five recent state questions that prove that point:
1. SQ 777. The so called Right To Farm proposal. Rejected by over 300,000 food eating humans who apparently didn't think they would starve if they voted no. This barn full of bloviate was burped out by the legislature but was actually dumped on you courtesy of ADM, Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson's and other assorted turkeys most foul.
2. SQ 790. Looney lawmakers gambit to repeal Article 5 of our lengthy Constitution, which is the prohibition on spending your tax money for religious purposes on public property. Thought to be a can't miss sop to Sunday schoolers but most much too young to vote and their parents didn't care. Satan's black sheep, having long discarded their Baptist belt buckles, dominated by over 200,000 votes. Bible thumpers couldn't pull the wool over their eyes.
