1. I disagree with Fetterman’s politics. Big time. But I’d vote for him because Oz is an election denier, and this Republican Party is a threat to our democracy.

Larry Kudlow on Fox Business 9/23/22: "The new British prime minister, Liz Truss, has laid out a terrific supply-side economic growth plan which looks a lot like the basic thrust of Kevin McCarthy's Commitment to America plan.”
Finally. A Democratic candidate just correctly pointed out that red states like Oklahoma have HIGHER crime rates than New York and California.
