Coburn is NOT a RINO. Neither is Brownback. or Thune.

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.

Brownback is for amnesty and perks for illegal aliens. He sure is not for the best interests of this country. I thought if Coburn endorsed anyone it would be Thompson or Hunter. Why would he endorse McCain - the most liberal candidate whose stand on illegal aliens borders on treason - with with whom he APPEARS to have nothing in common?

Agreed - that means I want to dig into his reasoning behind this. He is very conservative.
