Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Thursday it would not be “smart” to shut down the government over Obamacare, but it would make sense to do it over the debt limit. …
Coburn was asked what the GOP would do in the next 12 months to “correct the course” and whether Coburn would go on the Mark Levin show to talk about Levin’s book, “The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic.”
“I would if I was invited. Right now, I’m kind of out of favor with the Levin show,” Coburn said, explaining that he and Levin disagree on shutting down the government over Obamacare. …

I think we should have mandatory gov shutdowns for one week of every month until the budget balances. I doubt the vast majority of citizens would notice.
I think it’s a great idea to shut the government down and send them all home. Period.
Hey, Coburn, you idiot....they are shutting down OBAMACARE, NOT the government (unfortunately.)
yes well the gov will shut down this afternoon around 4pm - i doubt anyone will even notice
or no tax whatsoever at the end of the month.
He’s right, it’s not a good idea. Therefore, obama should sign what ever is placed in front of him funding everything EXCEPT obamacare.
It is Obama that will shut down the government over Obamacare. Everything else will be funded.
Coburn knows better than to make a statement about Republicans shutting down government over Obamacare!
Coburn, just like the rest of the GOP-e, wants to kick the can down the road.
The GOP caves again. Its what they do. It’s who they are.
It is Obama that will shut down the government over Obamacare. Everything else will be funded.
*********
Exactly! Only Obamacare would be shut down, not the rest of the government.
During the interview in which these comments were made, Coburn called Obama his “Friend.”
Yes, Friend. The man who wants to radically transform the country. Coburn’s friend.
Obama may be Coburn’s friend, but he is America’s enemy.
Then tell it to the democrats, Tom, you clucking, little republican.
Exactly. I’m already tired of hear how the Republicans in the House are going to shut down the Govt.
That is up to Obama and the Senate. The House has not made to attempt to shut down anything but Obamacare.
They'll be so much money for the crooks in DC that they'll think it's raining green...
BUMP!
Hey,Tommy, if you don’t resist against Obamacare,we don’t need the Republican Party!
If none of the Republicans voted for this insane, devious and destructive bill, why should they now be asked to fund it?
Exactly. And RINOS / establishment GOP-e are repeating the lie that some Republicans (read tea party) are trying to shut down the government.
Those opposed to a gov’t shutdown should TELL OBAMA TO SIGN THE BUDGET!!!
Congress passes a budget that defunds Obamacare!
Passing that budget doesn’t result in a gov’t shutdown!
OBAMA’S TANTRUM, AND REFUSAL TO SIGN THAT BUDGET RESULTS IN THE GOV’T SHUTDOWN!
