I wish there were more Senators (in the GOP caucus) who act like Tom Coburn.

Senator Coburn has long impressed me. And his critique of the earmarks as implemented by the Democrat controlled committee is likely dead on. Prior to this, when he was Chairman of the Committee, Duncan Hunter would also stress R&D, but was always mindful of the need for reasonable force level procurement...and didn't believe at all in raiding O&M accounts.
Wonder just precisely WHAT the democrats have suddenly found so necessary in in R&D? They usually are the ENEMIES of sufficient R&D. Let me guess: R&D to convert our fuel inefficient MB-1Abrams tanks into Ethanol Burners! LOL!

I like Coburn and wish we could replace 10 Dems and Rinos with him. However, earmarks have a purpose. Liberal President (including Jorge Arbusto), idiot SecDefs, and politicized Pentagon Generals call for reductions in programs all the time regardless of actual need for the nation.
