Anybody have the inside scoop on this guy?
He seems reasonable on his website. His stance on climate change is the only thing I might quibble with but it is not extreme.
He must be Catholic or horny, he has six kids. In this day and age that is unusual. (Disclosure, I'm the oldest of six kids. My family was not Catholic, my dad was horny).
A guy I used to run around with a little was one of 11 kids. I asked if his family was Catholic. As deadpan as possible:
"No my dad just liked to F@#K!"
Thanks for posting.
I did not see any mention of religion .... but he does mention a willingness to make government work.
Makes me inclined to give him serious consideration.
"We must also push for significant tax reform in this country."
The guy walked up to me at Mayfest, introduced himself to us and told me he was running for office. He didn't know if I was Democrat, conservative, Tea Party or what. I am always impressed with candidates who do that sort of thing with ease and confidence. I liked what he said as well though I warned him that district seems to cannibalize decent people using indecent means. He said, "I'm ready. Bring it on." His priorities are education and jobs. He especially seemed concerned that education funding has slipped in this state.
Soon his wife and one of his sons appeared and we had a nice conversation about his background and what he wants to do in Washington. It may be a blended family but I got the feeling they just enjoy family. He was a drill instructor and now has a business that utilizes that background.
Clean, decent, well spoken, confidant, military background, married with family, small businessman and resides in South Tulsa. If we let these kind of candidates get bypassed because they carry the Democrat label then we deserve mediocrity like Sullivan gave us.

With the possible exception of Mike Synar, I think the Democrats who have represented Oklahoma in DC have been pretty moderate. When his name was first brought up on this forum, I had to look hard on his website to figure out which party he belongs to. I still haven't decided as I should take that as a slight deception since the Tulsa area is solidly (R) or if he simply isn't a partisan, so wearing the (D) on his sleeve seems unnecessary. I've always voted for the best candidate and have no problem voting for the (D) (R) or unaffiliated who I think will do a great job.
It seems more important these days to brand yourself a conservative first, and party in smaller type. I'm sure he faces the same dilemma any over 40 applicant for a job position has to face. If you put your job dates on the resume they toss it because your first job was before the job screener was even born. If you leave the dates off they know you're hiding your age.
Olson is Army reserve and Bridenstine is Navy reserve.
Army vs. Navy
Olson seems pretty impressive.
15 years in the reserve including tours in Korea and Afghanistan, had time to get a degree from NSU, a master's and law degrees from University of Tulsa and have six kids and he is just 34 years old.
I see he is in the Bixby parade this weekend. I might try to go to meet him.
I guess Olson drew the short straw for the dems this go-around... ;D
Did anyone see his views on capital punishment or abortion in his bio? I saw the "government between the doctor and the woman" meme so I assume he is an abortion rights guy. He is just not specific on what he would do if elected. Compare Bridenstine's website with this guy's site to see what I am getting at.

Lobbed that one in a bit. I didn't realize voting for a guy who shares your views and does what you want him to do was a bad thing. I thought that was what a "representative" was supposed to do.
Now Olson, what about his website screams "Now he stands for what I do!"

"I'll do this if elected" is a far site off what they can do when elected.
Look at all the young guns elected a couple of years ago. They fell right in line with the status quo once they found out where the money was coming from.
I think the only ones staying in line with their "promises" are the religious ones. They said they'd shove that crap down throats and by God, they're shoving.

So you find that
not knowing what a candidate will do (even if he fails) if elected is preferable? Wow.

Nah, I just accepted that political promises are just that.
They can't "fail" if they never attempt.
You're just dancing around the issue little G. What you want is a candidate to announce he supports your view on abortion even though in his role as elected official he has no ability to change Roe v Wade. Even though they may be the best candiate on all the other issues. That is why our elected officials have so little clout in Washington because as idealogues they soon realize they are dreamers in a community of pragmatics and problem solvers. They are visible and their comrades are respectful of them but in the end they get little accomplished. They realize they cannot be effective without compromise which they refuse to engage in, but they don't want to lose their "phony baloney" jobs, so they keep promising during elections what they know they cannot deliver.
Single issue voters are so easy to manipulate.

It depends on what you mean by real work. If you mean the job of writing more special loopholes into the tax code for the wealthiest few thousand folks and large businesses or subsidizing giant corporations with their small business competitors' tax dollars, no. That part is handled very well by around 530 senators and representatives. Doesn't matter where on the spectrum they fall, chances are they're busy making sure those with the most pay the least proportion of their income.
Maybe using the word "work" in a conversation about Congress just confuses people.
What I meant to say was that when bills are being voted on in a tight partisan Congress, the centrists are the ones who really get to decide the vote. That gives Senators like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe real power. It is really the same way in the Surpreme Court apparently. Now that Justice Roberts has voted against his typecast, he is in play.
I wish Oklahoma was in play as a state. I doubt that either Obama or Romney will visit Oklahoma again in 2012.
Now with Bridenstine has upset the incumbent, that seat might be in play. If Bridenstine's votes were mostly votes against Sullivan, then that seat is now in play.
Quote from: Townsend on June 29, 2012, 10:51:59 AM
Just making stuff up in your head there?
Gosh I hope not. But as it stands we have two newbies running for a seat occupied by a veteran. The only one we know anything about, specifically, is Bridenstine. An honest read of Olson's views from his site leads me to believe that he is pro-union, pro-abortion rights, pro-amnesty (illegals/undocumenteds), and wants to simplify the tax code in part by making corporations pay more. What or how he plans to act consistent with those views, who knows? Does he want "Free Abortions Fridays", increase capital gains taxes to 60% or to push to end right to work? From his site or what you know about the guy, what specifically does he intend to do?
From Bridenstine's website, you kind of at least know where he stands.
Let's illustrate (from their websites).
HealthcareBridenstine:
QuoteI would vote to repeal and replace Obamacare with a more competitive and cost reducing system. Healthcare reform should:
Allow families and businesses to buy insurance across state lines.
End frivolous lawsuits that result in defensive medicine and exorbitant malpractice insurance premiums.
Enhance Health Savings Accounts.
Eliminate exemptions for pre-existing conditions.
Provide incentives for healthier lifestyles.
Olson:
QuoteAffordable and accessible health care for all Americans is a fundamental right. Although the current health care system is far from perfect, we should undertake a bipartisan effort to reach the goal of affordable health care. Elimination of waste and redundancies in cost are necessary to make affordable care a reality.
Right to LifeBridentsine:
QuoteAll human life is sacred and begins at conception. Unborn children should be welcomed in life and protected by law. New technologies have made embryonic stem cell research unnecessary. Taxpayer money should never be used to subsidize abortion as is the case in Obamacare. I would support a human life amendment to the Constitution.
Olson:
QuoteWomen's rights are currently under attack. In the last few years, government has frequently sought to insert itself into the relationship between women and their doctors. Access to private comprehensive health care should be fully available.
EconomyBridenstine:
QuoteFree markets, economic mobility, and equal opportunity are the drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship, and capital formation. Every piece of legislation should consider the impact on these drivers.
Our national debt is at a record high of $14.6 trillion and Congress continues to spend out-of-control. American Treasury Securities have lost their AAA rating, which would normally place upward pressure on interest rates and exacerbate our national deficit. Instead, the Federal Reserve continues to print money and purchase Treasury Securities to artificially bring their value up and corresponding interest rates down. This increase in money supply weakens the value of the U.S. Dollar, making the United States an unattractive place to invest money, start a business or grow a corporation. Joblessness is the result. This cycle will only stop when the U.S Congress stops spending.
These are the principles that will return America to economic greatness:
Low taxes
Fiscal constraint
Low regulation
Sound monetary policy
Tort reform
Fair trade
In order to establish sound monetary policy, the Fed must focus singularly on price stability. When the Fed attempts to use the money supply to create full employment or increase economic output, it weakens the dollar, creates inflation, causes bubbles, and intensifies the business cycle. The financial crisis of 2008 was not caused by "unfettered free markets." It was caused by government intervention in markets through manipulation of interest rates and money supply. I would support repealing the Humphrey-Hawkins Act of 1978.
While lowering taxes is good, an overhaul of the tax code is also needed. I would support the Fair Tax.
Olson:
QuoteThe future of our economy requires that we do not overburden the nation with debt. Economic heath requires fiscal discipline. We have balanced the budget in the past I will push to do it again using a balanced approach that rebuilds a strong middle class. We must eliminate wasteful spending where we find it. We should increase investments in the higher education and training in the high-tech manufacturing industry. At the same time we must create economic incentives for companies to reinvest more than a trillion dollars of corporate money in the US manufacturing industry.
We must also push for significant tax reform in this country. We cannot balance the books of this country on the backs of the middle class alone. We must simplify the tax code and eliminate loopholes that allow giant corporations to pay a smaller share of the tax burden than the average college student. Fixing the tax code is impossible as long as Representatives put empty pledges over people. I won't make any pledges to any special interests.
Three issues, one specific to me. You may not support what Bridenstine stands for, but if you are looking for a representative to represent your interests, you can at least rule in or rule out this candidate.

Seriously, I was speaking of the district's and Oklahoma's past representation. Olson certainly doesn't seem extreme. I haven't met Bridenstine.

We're making two separate points I believe.
You are saying you can get usable info that you believe the candidate actually will attempt to follow vs a site where you can get no usable information about a candidate.
I am saying any information about plans the candidate has is moot. I have doubts in their sincerity. I imagine the truth would be "I'm putting this on here to get elected." or "I'm not putting this on here because I believe it might cost me the election."

I'd imagine Republicans in OK can post as much as they want and can get elected as a Republican.
On the other hand, I'd guess that Democrats in Oklahoma can't post much because they might lose the election if they post what they believe.
In reality, most campaign websites are put together by campaign staff. They are written to purposely not say too much.
The better bet to find out what a candidate really thinks is to ask them in person. That is what I try to do every time.

Exactly. That's why I felt lucky to have talked to him rather than just read the website. He'll be in play if elected. Bridenstine reads like the boiler plate conservative stuff they all have to say with a little sprinkling of Tea Party powder. He'll be out of play if he really means that stuff.

A Conversation with John Olson, the Democratic Candidate for Oklahoma 1st Congressional DistrictYou can hear entire interview here:
http://kwgs.com/post/conversation-john-olson-democratic-candidate-oklahoma-1st-congressional-district (http://kwgs.com/post/conversation-john-olson-democratic-candidate-oklahoma-1st-congressional-district)
QuoteIt's hard to believe, maybe, but Election Day arrives in less than four weeks. On this edition of our show, we chat with John Olson, the Democratic candidate for Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District. Later this month, we'll hear from Craig Allen, the Independent candidate in this race. (As of this writing, Jim Bridenstine, the Republican candidate for this state's 1st Congressional District, has declined our invitation for a StudioTulsa interview.) In a section on his "Olson for Oklahoma" website entitled "Why I'm Running for Congress," John Olson writes: "I have been in the Army for fifteen years, having served in many units and under both Democratic and Republican Commanders-in-Chief. Never until now has politics impacted the readiness and pay of our military.... The political games being played today by current members of Congress are irresponsible and wrong. They have impacted our military, our credit rating, and the functioning of many other aspects of our government. I believe that our government of, by and for the People can work, if serious people go to Washington. I am running for Congress to fix what's wrong and get government working again." You can learn more about Mr. Olson, a Tulsa-based small-business owner and attorney with six children, by visiting his website.
TW endorsed Olson.
"He is among the sharpest, most ready-to-serve candidates for public office that we at the Tulsa World have met, we believe Olson is the best choice."
Tulsa GOP Candidate Accused of Dodging Debateshttp://kwgs.com/post/tulsa-gop-candidate-accused-dodging-debates (http://kwgs.com/post/tulsa-gop-candidate-accused-dodging-debates)
QuoteTULSA, Okla. (AP) — The Republican candidate running for Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District is being knocked by his Democratic opponent for backing out of several chances to debate heading into the election.
Democrat John Olson's campaign manager says Republican Jim Bridenstine is "hiding from voters" by turning down at least four high-profile opportunities, including a chamber of commerce event in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow, an AARP-sponsored debate and a forum at the B'nai Emunah synagogue in Tulsa. Bridenstine also turned down an interview on KWGS' Studio Tulsa progam.
But Bridenstine's camp says at least nine public appearances have been scheduled since September, and accused Olson's campaign of trying to grab more attention.
Yet when Bridenstine was an underdog in the Republican primary facing five-term Rep. John Sullivan, he repeatedly called out the congressman, saying he "lacked the courage" to debate him more often.
I've heard nothing out of Bridenstine which isn't out of the Tea Party talking points. And most of the ones he is spewing in his radio ads are inaccurate at best. I think he will be a Tea Bot, not much unlike Sullivan.
Reading the TW endorsement, I like a lot of what they claim Olson stands for. The only exception is he doesn't seem to grasp the concept of the "Fair Tax" but I don't see that ever coming to pass. We do need a serious overhaul of the tax codes to simplify them.
He sounds to me to be a lot like Dan Boren which isn't a bad thing. Olson is someone I could vote for.
I just heard Bridenstein at some sort of town hall which I assumed was a debate. He spoke about his past and he didn't come off as B@+$#!+ crazy. Then he started speaking about his political views and things changed fairly rapidly.
I'm certain that he will be our next congressman.

Sounds as though. The crazy and the 'publican gets you far here.
John Olson is impressive. He is calm on debates, has a good knowledge of the issues, has a life of service for the country, and is moderate politically.
He has no chance to be elected in Oklahoma.

District 2 he could. There seems to be some common sense in that district which is lacking in D-1.
I think if more Tulsa Republicans (and recovering R's) would use their critical thinking skills instead of taking Bridenstine's ads at face value, Olson would have a chance. The stickiest issue he's got, at least in this town, is supporting Obamacare. Personally, I'm okay with his stance on it (doesn't need to be repealed, but there are things which need to be fixed) so long as he's being sincere about it.
