from his website -->

Religious Freedom
Chris and his husband Trey are both Christians and Chris will fight hard to ensure that every Oklahoman has the right to worship or not worship as they please, without the interference of Government.

LGBTQ
Chris is gay. He is married to his husband, George (Trey) Barnett. Chris and Trey both hope to adopt one day in the future and raise a family. Chris has no gay agenda. If elected, Chris promises to ensure equality for everyone.


I don't think this guy has much of a chance of getting elected, but what do I know.

He is gay, yet he is advocating for killing the poor? Does he have any idea what a vulnerable position he is in? I really don't understand oppressed groups who seek to oppress others.

I kind of assume that's it in this case. IN fairness, the link to him is a bit tenuous - it could have been a staffer who said those hateful things, but it doesn't read that way.

Anyway I guess my larger point is that he doesn't have much of a shot I don't think.

He's all about taking down the University of Tulsa. He's big on government transparency. He's also a gay republican and married. Of course, he says his comment was taken out of context (most repubs say that anyway).

He talks about keeping Oklahoma red and all that, but no way will he win. The state is too conservative no matter how republican this guy says he is.

10) Turnpike

I have several ideas for the turnpike. We either need to get rid of it completely or make the money the turnpike collects go into funding the rest of the roads around Oklahoma. The money that is collected by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority doesn’t go back into the government but goes into the pockets of bond holders. This needs to end.


IOW he plans to default on the turnpike bonds.

Have a nation of people that think and act like them. Anyone else might as well be dead to them.

Accentuated by his lack of empathy and intelligence.

I honestly can't believe there are people in the world like this.

“The ones who are disabled and can’t work…why are we required to keep them?” the Chrisforgov account responded. “Sorry but euthanasia is cheaper and doesn’t make everyone a slave to the Government [sic].”

“If they can take care of themselves without Government assistance, great,” the comment continued. “If not, let them starve and die. Easy as that.”

How is this person even a candidate for governor? What kind of person could support someone this evil? i swear, I never thought I would see the day when someone who espoused views like this could be a legitimate candidate for any office. This is so fucking sick!

How is it that we have someone like this who is allowed to run for office in this country? What is wrong with us?
