Randy Brogdon should not be the Governor of Oklahoma…

Posted on Monday, August 31st, 2009 under Oklahoma Politics by Patrick

Last week, the Brogdon for Governor campaign sent a mass “video email” to local supporters, press and detractors.  The video was essentially a flash website that featured a little Randy Brogdon telling us that he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the rights, liberties and freedoms of his fellow right-wing evangelical Christians.  He also shared with us his affinity for ADT security.

What?

Take a look at this video that someone took of the Randy Brogdon website just after it was emailed to everyone.  Pay special attention to the five buttons/links at the center of the page:

Yeah.  I know it’s part of the right-wing extremist repertoire to use scare tactics on the campaign trail, but this is taking things too far.  We get it.  Randy Brogdon is going to be tough on crime.  But come on, are we really supposed to believe that having our Governor sell ADT security systems will make our state a safer place to live?  I don’t think so.

Actually, linking to ADT security seems to just be a ridiculously stupid mistake by the Brogdon campaign.  Now when you visit the website, you see a “Contribute” graphic instead of one that reads “Get Your Gift Card.”  “Protect My Home Now” has been replaced with “Biography of Randy.”   Now if only Brogdon can properly space his toll-free 888 number and get the little Randy on the screen to wear a dunce hat, the webpage would be 100% accurate.

Anyway, I’m sure there are plenty of reasons that Randy Brogdon should not be our next Governor, but I would put this gaffe at the top of the list.  Seriously, if you can’t even build a simple website without screwing things up, what business do you have being our Governor for the next four years?  We don’t need a Governor to screw things up.  We have a Legislature for that.

    Randy is a Sally Kern Loving Tin Foil Hat Wearing John Birch Tea Bagging Birther. We need to have him run as an Independent to screw Mattress Mary to her Posturepedic to create another Democratic Gov. squeaker.

    Google Magic Awesomeness – ADT ad served in the left column of this article.

    it is obvious that the company that he hired to work on his campaign stole those graphics from a website. i tried to look around and see if i could find the site, but didn’t find it.

    it would be funny to inform someone that a man running for governor in oklahoma has stolen the graphics on his/her website to use in his PR/election campaign.

    “No Strings Attached” ““except for the ones that are. If only there were a company that could protect me from unscrupulous people…

    When I visited the site, the little Randy that walked on to my screen reminded of that annoying as hell paper clip from Microsoft Word. It’s like a “Microsoft Assistant” spouting political rhetoric.

  6. What is up with that picture of Brogdon above “No Strings Attached”. The eyebrows and smile seem to be an imitation of those old cartoon dipictions of the devil.

    Just for the record: ADT SUCKS – Big Time!

    We had their “monitored” service for two years. Alarm probably went off 5 times or so and they NEVER called and NEVER sent any response. We had it for two years because we signed a contract and, despite providing NO service, they would not let us out of the contract, give us a refund, or even a reduction in their monitoring fee.

    Now that I know they are teamed up with the evangelicals, it all makes much more sense.

    I’m agnostic, not an atheist for the tards in the village. I’m finding the rise of the radical right more disturbing than ever before. Some of the worst events in history have come from the religious… supposedly for the glory of some god. Why can’t people be moral, good and honest with out the ideal of some boogie monster punishing them for eternity with pain and anguish. I kinda hope there are these god’s they pray to so the hypocritical pseudo religious get cornholed for eternity… what would jesus do? Unfortunately the immoral sit at the right hand of power (C STREET) and we just keep watching.

    Please don’t vote with your religion, vote with your head and keep scary morons like this dude at bay from power. Okay go ahead and tear me apart mindless zealots I welcome the thoughtless diatribes.

    Lucid Gravity said “Okay go ahead and tear me apart mindless zealots I welcome the thoughtless diatribes.”

    I think you mistook us for demoookie.com or the late okgopchat.com . . . our diatribes, while zealous, are also thoughtful.

    What is he doing with his hands?

    A candidate for govenor should pick the “Update our Clubs, Porn, and Alcohol” ticket. Run with slogan “T*tties and Beer, within a year!”

  13. rockogre says:

    Governer? I think he should start with state fool, wearing the little three tipped hat with bells, then work his way up. He could caper around Sally Kerns desk as she rants and raves.

  14. Bless Your Heart says:

    Poor Eliot, Bless His Heart, he obviously wrote something stupid on demookie.

    I just think lucid was trying for a little masochistic action…but I could be wrong.

    Fallin will either wad him up and boot him back to Owasso months before the primary or he’ll get all his birthers and tea partyers together and run a DIRTY DIRTY campaign, win the primary and put another Edmondson in the Governors mansion.
