We're working on a Draft Coburn for President web site.
You've been added! Thank you!
He's quickly becoming my favorite Senator. I'm tired of hearing about what Roberts is or isn't. Let's get to the hearings and find out what this guy is about. The right people are saying the right things about him, but I want to see for myself.
Bump!
Who are some of your other favorite Senators?
I'll trade my senators (Boxer & Feinstein) for your senator any day. I'll even throw in Pelosi.
I like Senator Cornyn from Texas, Jeff Sessions, and Inhofe. Oklahoma certainly has the best Sentate delegation.
Inhofe is sort of a putz. He is trying to have love field in Dallas shut down so that American Airlines won't have competition from Southwest. I just can't see Coburn doing that sort of thing.
The more I read about the Medicine Man, the more I like him. =]
I'm disappointed in Inhofe if that's the case, I may have to reconsider, the Wright Amendment is a travesty.
From his website...
"Dr. Coburn, a practicing physician, has delivered nearly 4,000 babies including more than 400 while serving in office."
Cool!
He is correct. On another thread, another Senator had a different opinion about litmus tests, although she was not courageous enough to identify it as such! Instead, she hides behind the false premise promoted by her Far Left colleagues that the only candidates to be feared are those who might have what they call "pre-existing" notions as to how they will decide cases (as if the only candidates who might have such notions are those appointed by Republican Presidents).
Here's what she said:
"'Unfortunately, the people who are being appointed to the courts all too often have a pre-existing idea of what they're going to decide,' she complains." If they are scholars of the Founders' Constitution, why wouldn't they, one might ask.
Clinton's remark exposes the illogical, tyrannical, and hypocritical mindset of Hillary and her Far Left associates. Such a blunt admission relies on what they believe to be the ignorance of citizens, else why would she risk such exposure of the Far Left's agenda?
If her remark is intended to discredit the current President's potential choice of nominee, then is she saying that the two appointees of her husband had no such 'pre-existing idea' on key issues?
Or, is it more likely she is saying, "the people who are being appointed to the courts all too often have a pre-existing idea of what they're going to decide that differs with what I and my ideologues demand!"????
In other words, the Far Left has set up a litmus test that totally excludes, censors, and bans from consideration for the Court any person whose judicial decisions on certain specified issues chosen by the Far Left might be perceived to differ from the agenda they, not the Founders' Constitution, have pursued and are intent upon imposing, regardless of its sound basis in the Constitution's principles.
Perhaps the Senator never quite understood the thrust of the Founders' total ban of government's power to intrude upon the rights of conscience of each citizen, including those in positions of executive, judicial, or legislative power in the government!
More likely, however, it is that having read Jefferson and Madison and others, Senator Clinton and her ilk have chosen to part ways with the Framers of the Declaration of Independence/Constitution's foundations in Creator-endowed, unalienable rights in order to impose another idea that relies on the judiciary's "creation" of government-granted (therefore, alienable) "rights."
The history of civilization demonstrates that the latter is a counterfeit idea that leads only to domination and power for the political elite, and oppression and tyranny for the people!
Thanks for that! I agree!
American is a big voting bloc here, lol.
And he's got an election coming up.
LOL no thanks.
We'll keep ours. :)
JC Watts and all!
bttt
Southwest Airlines (search) is planning more direct flights out of its home base at Love Field in Dallas. But the popular carrier may be forced to close up shop there if Senator James Inhofe (search) gets his way.
The Oklahoma Republican wants to end commercial flights at Love Field, moving all the traffic to the larger, more modern Dallas-Fort Worth airport outside the city — despite complaints about the airport's layout.
Inhofe says the bill will protect DFW-based American Airlines, which employs thousands in his home state. A spokesman for Southwest calls the proposal a "scare tactic."

On, please, and thanks for the ping. Thanks for taking over the Oklahoma ping list, and thanks to 2jedismom for doing it before.
The fine folks of Oklahoma have got themselves one hell of a Senator and great American Patriot.
Thank you so much!
