Mary Fallin Supports DREAM Act Opposes Cutting Deficit Takes ObamaCare

So much Mary Fallin FAIL so little time…

Mary Fallin Skips Vote on DREAM Act 

Hey remember that one time the Republican Governor’s Association went after Jari Askins for supporting the DREAM Act… those were the days weren’t they. And oh how they’ve all grown in just a few short weeks.

Wednesday night Congress voted on the DREAM Act - Mary Fallin didn’t vote. Way to support your party and your values there… oh wait… those are only your values when they’re convenient for you… right… I forgot….

Oh hey - and remember that other time Mary said she was going to stand up to Washington and fight them when she thought they were doing something wrong.  So… does that mean that she doesn’t think the DREAM Act is wrong since she didn’t even show up to vote? Just curious.

And it isn’t going unnoticed by members of her own party either. The popular forum ResistNet has quite a few comments with folks upset with Fallin and the others who refused to show:
“Mary Fallin is always sending me email newsletters about what a great America she is…..yeah, right. Unless she was in the hospital, there was NO EXCUSE to miss this very important vote!” says Joyce Romano
“Joyce - call Mary Fallin up or visit her office and force a “face to face” meeting. Insist she explain to you why she “copped out” and did not vote. Something stinks, here…. this was a HUGE, HUGE vote!!!!!!!” Replies Jim Pixley
Another FallinFail maybe its just senioritus?

But wait… there’s more… Mary Fallin supports deficits and super spending
After campaigning on the importance of stopping the ballooning deficits and the unfair financial burden it places on future generations, here, here, here on her campaign website, here, and here ON HER OWN CONGRESSIONAL WEBSITE!Mary supports the tax cuts to the wealthy.

According to the Congressional Budget Office estimations on the chart to the right you can see the deficit projection escalating with the Millionaire Tax Breaks.
“Just two policies dating from the Bush Administration — tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — accounted for over $500 billion of the deficit in 2009 and will account for almost $7 trillion in deficits in 2009 through 2019, including the associated debt-service costs.” According to Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
And ala Stephen Colbert - its so great that you’re continuing something that hasn’t worked so far because it it’s going to help now!  Well done.

These tax cuts add $700 BILLION to the deficit. Can we finally say that Mary has no credibility on 1. Fighting Washington, 2. Reducing the deficit and 3. Telling the truth?

Oh wait… it gets so much better.  Mary Fallin Takes Government Funded Health Care
Didja hear the one about the Congressman who campaigned against ObamaCare and then threw a fit when he found out he wasn’t getting his government funded health care until like… the end of January? OMG fer real… this happened…

So, this week the Oklahoma Democratic Party called on newly elected Congressman James Lankford to forgo his government funded health care program because he campaigned against Obama’s … government funded health care. Right? Seems reasonable - why would you take something that you thought was wrong? Holy principles, Batman!

Oddly enough, Mary Fallin also campaigned against what she and con’s lovingly referred to as ObamaCare …. except the whole time she was dissing ObamaCare she was accepting …. wait for it…. …… … a government funded health care package!! In fact.. Mary’s health care plan has been paid for by Oklahomans or our federal tax dollars for over 15 years! Oh… kids these days….

Given Mary’s support of reducing the deficit and her aversion to government funded health care - me thinks she too should pay for her own health care costs instead of passing it off to tax payers like us.
Darn that turnaround being fair play. Ten bucks says she’ll take the tax payer funded health care.  I bet Randy Brogden is kicking himself right now.
