Coburn...ain’t no RINO

[La Enchiladita]

James Coburn, one of my favorite actors, has passed on.

[Grunthor]

I like Coburn but Juan McCain can have my vote when he can pull it from my cold, dead fingers.

[Osage Orange]

But other than that, I will hope some third party guy comes along.

You may see a bloom in the spring..........

[La Enchiladita]

That must be what it is: members of the same club.

[Grunthor]

“Mitt thinks the conservative base is stupid.”

Maybe, but McCain flat out hates us, and for most of us it’s a mutual thing.

[JRochelle]

Divulge your secrets!

[Osage Orange]

Ain't a secret........

It's right there before your eyes....

"Very disappointing."

Isn't it? I thought OK had two of the best Senators. Now, IMO, they have ONE.

[JRochelle]

Ron Paul?

I’ll vote for Hillary before I vote for a rascist.

[JohnnyZ]

Don't get me wrong. It's a solid endorsement, but I don't know if you would consider it a "major endorsement."

Dr. Tom Coburn is a huge endorsement.

He likely respects McCain for his stand against earmarks and his support of our military.

It's unfortunate that he did not endorse Fred.

I would be very dissappointed that Coburn would choose McCain, although as the article states they are buddies from the Senate fighting against spending (except when McCain is not standing up with Coburn on real reform).

Let’s wait and see if Coburn actually endorses him though, since this is still a leak and not the actual story.

[penowa]

"Graham has like a 92 ACU rating."

Do they keep ratings on how many times Republican Senators like Graham, McCain, Specter, etc., stab conservatives in the back and make certain that Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

[Osage Orange]

Bloom in spring....

Equals Bloomberg.....

[Liberty Valance]

"Shocking. Coburn is one of the best."

I agree. If McCain had any credibility on the illegal immigration or 1st amendment issues I could understand this endorsement. Maybe Tom knows something we don't.

[RasterMaster]

Almost makes one wonder what was promised to garner Coburn’s endorsement.

Not impressed with either Oklahoma senator’s endorsements, but then again, both have endorsed someone from their “fraternity” of senators. The country club seems to be growing on them.

[Gritty]

Sheesh. Coburn is one of my favorite Senators. McCain is one of my least favorite Senators - and that's saying a lot considering the huge pack of worthless bums in that body from which to choose.

This is a huge disappointment. What is it about this hopelessly chummy and inbred bunch of backslapping mutual suck-ups, anyhow!!?? ("My good friend and esteemed colleague...")

Republican Senators apparently are willing to hopelessly disgrace and compromise themselves in more ways than tapping a foot in bathroom stalls.

[AuntB]

This one is a mystery. Makes no sense. Something terrible happens to people who serve in the Senate. That’s what worries me about Fred.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Coburn is a great man. Brownback isn’t a RINO, but he was very much with McCain on the amnesty bill. Thune hasn’t done enough so far as I can tell one way or another.

Coburn spoke at our local Family Alliance dinner a couple of years ago. He’s a solid limited-government conservative, and I would have expected him to endorse Thompson. Maybe he doesn’t think Thompson can win. I can’t think of a single issue on which Coburn would agree with McCain and disagree with Thompson.

Maybe he’s just more concerned with national security issues, and maybe Coburn is against torturing terrorists — I don’t know about that.

[JRochelle]

Oh Lord, I’d rather have Hillary than Bloomberg!
