Thomas Paine could have been talking about the Oklahoma House and Senate Republican Caucus or the Oklahoma Republican Party as 'sunshine patriot'
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is darkness only that gives every its value."-- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)
