WOW! Sen. Coburn lays it out: Sell your vote and we will publish it

SEN. TOM COBURN (R), OKLAHOMA: I want to send a couple of messages to my colleagues in the House.

If you voted no and you vote yes, and you lose your election, and you think any nomination to a federal position isn't going to be held in the Senate, I've got news for you. It's going to be held.

Number two is, if you get a deal, a parochial deal for you or your district, I've already instructed my staff and the staff of seven other senators that we will look at every appropriations bill, at every level, at every instance, and we will outline it by district, and we will associate that with the buying of your vote. So, if you think you can cut a deal now, and it not come out until after the election, I want to tell you that isn't going to happen. And be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House.

There have been a number of Republican senators and congressmen who have taken a quite active stand against Hussein and his idiot agenda. Coburn, Ryan, Cantor, DeMint, Kyl and some others have been pretty consistent in their open opposition. The problem is not so much that the GOP won’t confront the rats as the media has usually refused to cover them or has mis-characterized their actions to make them look foolish or evil. With the rise of FOX and the net the coverage has increased and it is harder to lie about what was said or done. It’s not all “hands across the aisle” horse hockey (that kind of stuff is left to the RINO wing of the party otherwise as the McCain-Snowe wing and its adherents).

Would someone please explain to me why the former governor of Illinois — Blago — got impeached for trying to sell a senate seat and yet votes are blatantly, I mean out in the open, for sale on this health care bill?

To me the principle is identical. That is, if one is corrupt, so is the other.

There is just something about Rednecks. rofl.

We are so PROUD that Dr. Sen. Coburn is our Senator. I want him to run for President, but I don't believe he will do this.
