That's twice this summer that John Sullivan has shown strength and integrity. He keeps my vote.

Earmarks are the foundation stones of the current corruption in Washington, D.C. The practice should be stopped. Period.

Bully for Representative Flake and Senator Coburn for leading the lonely fight against these earmarks whereby House and Senate Members reward friends, relatives, and campaign contributors with billions of dollars worth of tax-payers' money.

Bill---"twice he has shown strength and integrity"

But he loses my vote for the hundreds of times he has not!

Skeptic, Tulsa (8/16/2009 10:29:23 AM)

I agree okpaul. A showing of integrity twice in one year, is not a sign of greatness, nor is it a sign he should be returned to Washington for another term.

Kilgore.Trout, Tulsa (8/16/2009 10:37:54 AM)

Sullivan is bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical lobby. He will do whatever it takes to stay elected.

Bedazzled, (8/16/2009 10:50:39 AM)

Ditto what kilgore,trout said.

Perhaps the Tulsa World should attach the photos of those who DID NOT pass the test to the article, rather than the ones who did. The headline and the photos don't match. (once again)

Sullivan sucks

CWG, Tulsa (8/16/2009 11:23:47 AM)

At least you loonies are reading the news.

Popeye, T-Town (8/16/2009 11:33:36 AM)

For a backwoods, hillbilly infested, uneducated and simple-minded bunch of Okies (according to the highly advanced and intelligent liberal ilk herein); we certainly have elected some outstanding people to represent us.

HardHeartedHanna, (8/16/2009 11:34:27 AM)

How is Fallin suddenly getting into the news so much. She is a looney tune that somehow keeps believing that the more crazy she sounds, the more she can get attention.

Please, her 15 minutes are up, let her go.

Shakin' the Bush, Sapulpa (8/16/2009 11:51:09 AM)

Using the words "strength and integrity" in any sentence, story, connotation, or description of Rep. John Sullivan has got to be one of the most profound misuses of the English language in this Century.

The man is a HACK. He's a hack for the Democrat Elite and the Republican Elite. He votes how he is told to vote. And, he is very prone to telling non-truths by the week.

Believe me, I have seen worse in Congress. But NOT MUCH worse.

It is time for Sullivan to retire.

HardHearted Hanna: Who do you think the D.O. will be endorsing for Governor? There is your answer. Where does this paper keep coming up with these shill groups? Come on now. Club for Growth? A couple of weeks ago it was "Citizens for Prosperity". A couple of weeks before that it was the OCPA. Next the D.O. will state that the Hair Club for Men has recently released a study showing that only three of our Representatives have supported research funding for the follicly challenged?

thehero, (8/16/2009 12:57:51 PM)

When I say the D.O., I mean the Daily Oklahoman. They are the originators of this story.

TK1, (8/16/2009 1:20:05 PM)

Agree with Steve Brown. Don't know who's in charge of putting pictures with headlines at the World web department, but lately the combinations have been a bit odd.

TK1, (8/16/2009 1:21:58 PM)

Hanna,

Hope you understand there's a difference between Mary Fallin and Anna Falling.

spirit07, Tulsa (8/16/2009 2:15:40 PM)

newsmax sucks,

Bud Green, No (8/16/2009 4:52:51 PM)

"She is a looney tune that somehow keeps believing that the more crazy she sounds, the more she can get attention."

Like silly Sally Kern; unfortunately it seems to work with certain voters.

droopy, wagoner (8/16/2009 8:00:55 PM)

Mr Green, you should be more respectful to our next Governor.

TK1, (8/16/2009 9:47:43 PM)

I don't think Bud or Hanna can tell the difference between a Fallin and a Falling. Mary might have to run some ads in Tulsa, "I am not Anna Falling" with the zoo in the background.

PAN, (8/17/2009 2:51:33 AM)

Mr Left: Did the Representative step on your toes too hard or what? I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY MR. SULLIVAN and I AM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT (until I change it in just a few days.) Mary Fallin is GREAT, too, and she is getting my vote for governor.

Eagle 4, Tulsa (8/17/2009 7:15:59 AM)

But...but where are Jim and Tom's names, those shining beacons of Conservatism? Oh, they're not in the show of hands because their hands are behind their backs, accepting "gifts and gratuities, greasy or not!"

Oh, I get it! Man, I'm tempted to vote for them, if only out of admiration for their sleazy hypocrisy! I think the true conservatives just called Jim and Tom RINOs!

Fat cats is no longer descriptive enough - I think it should now be the Fat chameleons, RINO and DINO!

Ignatz, Broken Bow (8/17/2009 8:20:07 AM)

Rep Flake is one of the few who actually lives up to his name.

No.
