Democrat Bloggers Criticize Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan Over Lawsuit Reform Fundraiser

State Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan, Democrat, is being criticized on the state's top Democrat Internet forum, www.demookie.com, for his involvement in an October 3rd fundraiser for Oklahomans For Lawsuit Reform. The event was held at the home of prominent Republicans Bob and Nedra Funk in Yukon. The invitation lists 11 elected officials; McMahan is the only Democrat listed.

A post on the forum from "Tulsa Trial Lawyer" describes the Republicans on the invitation as "evil people" and adds, "McMahan will NEVER...get my vote."

Another well-known Democrat said, "I'm shocked and disappointed."

"1968 Activist" wrote, "What the hell is McMahan doing fundraising for tort reform?"

The invitation for the event lists Democrat McMahan with these Republicans: U. S. Senator Jim Inhofe, U. S. Senator Tom Coburn, Congressman Ernest Istook, Lt. Governor Mary Fallin, House Speaker Todd Hiett, House Speaker-Designate Lance Cargill, Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony, Corporation Commissioner Denise Bode, Senate Minority Leader Glenn Coffee, and Senator Harry Coates.

The comments began when the forum's administrator posted a copy of the invitation and noted McMahan's involvement.
