Randy Brogdon picked this guy to be his Executive Director? Neck tats and lip piercings? He looks like no Republican staffer I ever saw.

All good Pubbies know that government has no business sticking its nose in what goes on between a man and his wife except when all good Pubbies want the government to tell the man’s wife or girlfriend how to handle a pregnancy.

Hey, as long as he’s white, a Republican and not one of the Wimmens, they can do what they want!

To be fair, I think it breaks down like this:

  1. Terrible terrible political optics and super easy target…ergo, poor political strategery and mwahahaha let’s get 'em.

  2. I tend to agree that everyone should be given their second chance.

  3. People with neck tattoos are poopyheads.

“Brogdon suggested those demanding Ryan’s resignation were “bigoted” Friday at a Tulsa County Republican Club luncheon.”

Am I missing something? How is this bigoted? I didn’t realize domestic abusers were some sort of protected group of people.

"Drag me through the mud, not T.C. He doesn't deserve this. He's paid his debt to society. Let's move on."

OK, will you do the same for convicted felons who have served their time and would like their right to vote back?

DAMNED libtards!

You want to be “accepting” and “non-judgemental” and you’re all against “discrimination” and you want to let Mexi-Muslims take over our country.

But suddenly it’s OK to discriminate against a guy for felonies? HYPOCRITES!

If you disallowed all bullies from the GOP there wouldn’t be anyone left to run for office… or vote for that matter.

Second chance with their own lives, not with the lives of others. He needs to find some other job.

This is a Confederate state, honeysuckle! It’s all Real Men™ and Subservient Women™!

Maybe the neck tats & lip ring are outreach to Millennials. Beating up women? Not so much.

“Only if you want to be bigoted,” Brogdon responded.

Wow, talk about a man behind the times.

Get with the program, Brogdon. It is 2015, and the GOP puts these situations in the freedom-of-religion category.

Ryan has been active in Tulsa County GOP politics and has served as a state committeeman. He is identified with the most conservative side of the party.

In 2014, he served on the board of directors of the Drug Policy Reform Network of Oklahoma, which seeks “to continue to educate and raise awareness of the benefits of marijuana for all while emphasizing the injustice and inefficiency of our current drug policy.”

Well, if nothing else kudos to the OK GOP for having an Executive Director that thinks the devil weed is okey-dokey. I wonder how that plays with national party leaders?

Ask again a few years down the road, when a few major corporations control a large share of the legal pot market (thanks to strict facility and inspection requirements they lobbied for to drive the small players out of the market).
