My thoughts as well, what...9 pages of posts since the election?

Not the website, the org allegedly used direct mail with their name on it and made robocalls in support of mick.

Who or what is behind secretive group "Catalyst Oklahoma"? | Red Dirt Report (http://www.reddirtreport.com/red-dirt-politics/who-or-what-behind-secretive-group-catalyst-oklahoma)

This is all I need to know - Red Dirt Report = Garbage.

wow.... are you serious? Because he can write a check he somehow can't relate to "the people"? It's people like you that make me want to support Ed Shadid. Go and support the poor and cry about not having money and protesting the evil rich folks... what a great life to live

p.s. So this doesn't get skewed, I was a huge Mick supporter, went out and gave rides to people to vote because they didn't have one. I got around 14 people to vote for Mick(isn't much, but it's something). I love Mick and don't think Ed was the right guy for the job, but man SOME of you Mick supporters people have a serious problem.

p.p.s., Catch, I'm not trying to pick on you specifically, but it seems you have a problem with the rich and maybe you ought to rethink things a bit. You stated in another thread, if you have the power to help but don't you're a bad person and that translates to "rich folks with money have an obligation to give poor people free handouts" and that kind of thinking is sickening. It is more sickening to have watched Ed being bashed in some pretty low ways on here, and you have played a pretty large part of it. People acting like Ed was the anti-christ, it was pretty pathetic and immature.

I don't believe that is what catch22 was trying to convey. He was pointing out the essential hypocrisy of a man running an ostensible class warfare, "I'm for the poor union guy and people who need buses" campaign who can effortlessly strike a check for nearly $400 grand.

Ed made this a "the rich guys are screwing you" election, not catch22. C22's comment about his personal ability to compete in this marketplace of ideas with his own personal scratch is a contrast showcasing the difficulty of the average working stiff, like himself, to have a voice, and the inherent irony of a candidate like Shadid who can participate financially to such an absurd degree acting like he can understand and empathize with the average working stiff. The context is clear, the irony is obvious, and catch22 has said nothing to earn such scorn.

So when is this election?

Okay. Thank you for your insight. Allow me to defend myself from your reaction based off of your seemingly inability to comprehend writing.

Ed Shadid made a big stink over "wealthy people deciding the future of our city". Larry Nichols, etc.

I was correctly pointing out that, despite his efforts to portray himself as a man for the middle class. That he understands and feels the pain of the lower and middle class. It's only fair to point out that he is an upper class citizen, who probably doesn't truly relate to the lower and middle class. He just tells them what they want to hear to gain votes.

Also you are incorrect regarding my opinion of the wealthy. I would consider myself a wealthy person. Not Ed Shadid or Plutonic Panda wealthy. But I have my own personal wealth I have worked hard for. My family also has some wealth. But, I stand by my completely sickening and offensive comment that those who have the power to help those in need, should. It's for the better of society. You have twisted and distorted that statement to mean giving all your wealth away to the poor. That is incorrect. Last year I voluntarily donated about 5% of my checks to various causes. That's not a lot. But it is what I can afford.

I guess I sicken you, and that doesn't bother me one bit. Go be sick.

Not Ed Shadid or Plutonic Panda wealthy.

Campbell just turned 20. I doubt it's his wealth that he's defending.
