I felt this needed its own thread.
Awesome!
Can this guy run for President??
Senator Coburn is speaking at our Cleveland County GOP Fundraiser this Friday night here in Norman, OK. I am so proud of Dr. Coburn and what he has brought to the Senate -- honesty, integrity, and a strong belief in what is the right thing to do.
Oklahoma Republican grassroots spent hours working to elect Dr. Coburn and I know as a member of that group I couldn't be happier with the job he is doing in the Senate.
Wish we had a lot more like Sen Coburn!
Thanks for posting!
Can we lose this war?
Well, that depends on the meaning of the word "lose".
We didn't lose the Vietnam war, we quit. Shortly thereafter, people were clinging to the landing rails of helicopters as we emptied the Saigon embassy and shortly after that human beings were being sent to re-education camps and communists from the North had completely taken over.
Can we lose this war?
No. Can we quit? Can we allow Iraq to fall to the terrorists? Can we allow the Middle East to be siezed by the worst of the worst?
Ask the Democratic Party who has found a possible political foothold on an "anti-war" platform. The more they pervert the truth and rile the citizenry against the war, the more they please their base. Its a dangerous ploy that has longterm and serious consequences much worse than the killing fields of Cambodia, because those killing fields may end up in the USA.
Funny how the General points out why WE may need to part temorarily with some liberties while McCain is trying to advance the rights of heinous terrorists.
Only he attributed it to an AOL member. Snopes says it's a hoax:
Yes...it does deserve a thread....but if I remember correctly....Coburn gave this speech BEFORE the vote on those stupid amendments...
SO...obviously he wasn't listened to by a majority of his own party members, let alone the dems.
Tom Coburn is EXACTLY the kind of Republican we need in WDC. You 'done' good Oklahoma.*~*
I would've included the Black Hawk Down incident along with the Hotel bombing attempt in yemen to get US troops, along with the Space Needle attempt.
Still a good speech. This is ridiculous that this has to be explained over and over and over to portions of idiots in this country--including idiot politicians who we know are lying through their teeth.
There is no question in my mind that some, not all, national Democrat leaders would trade losing for regaining their personal political power. Howard Dean, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, and Ted Kennedy head the list.
Since there is no one taking credit for writing this speech (MG Vernon Chong just forwarded it and did not know who wrote it), I vote to add one more militant action by the Islamists - Oklahoma City Bombing of the Murrah Federal Building, 1995, and then continue to forward this speech.
Coburn should be the #1 candidate for President on the GOP side, not McLame. #2 should be Pence!
Tom Coburn for President!
