coburn of oklahoma want any disaster aid to his state offset by other cuts

[rdking647]

maybe this will wake people up in oklahoma to toss his ass out next election
he may be making a stand on principal but its not going to make people in his own state happy. I can just imaging a roll call vote for oklahoma---- senator coburn votes no.... that will make a great tv commercial when hes up for reelection

1. He is a Republican. He can say or do anything and he will still be re-elected in Oklahoma.

He will only leave office when he retires.

As Democrats, we often forget that Republican voters in red states will vote for any Republican candidate in the general election regardless of how despicable we may think the Republican candidate is.

2. Toss his fucking ass out, Sooners!

[AndyA]

3. I plan on calling Coburn's office tomorrow (not that it will do any good)

Coburn has stated that he will not run again in 2016. I hope he means it.

4. Offsets, you say, Senator? Very well. Let's cut YOUR salary first

It's obvious you don't need the money. Your Big Oil boys pay you enough money.

[pscot]

17. Oil and gas subsidies

Plenty of money there.

[Rosco T.]

5. Tell that piece of

SHIT we start with cutting his and his staff salary.

6. You do realize

that there are bodies of 45 third graders laying under the rubble of their school while you post this garbage, right?

45 children who didn't vote for ANY of these people.

While you use their bodies to climb up on your soapbox.

How "Democratic" of you.

[JanMichael]

8. the poster isn't "climbing on bodies," even metaphorically.

Seriously? Disasters have been politicized by the RW since 9/11. You are on a political board. You might want to grow a thicker skin (metaphorically speaking)-

[Glitterati]

11. Yes, they are.

And it is disgusting.

[dsc]

10. and he is all for having another 45 third graders do without food to pay for aid

let's be blunt his offsets will come from the mouths of the poor.

12. Two hours ago I predicted, cause I Know DC,

That these calculations were already happening.

doesn't it?

Sorry. When Rush Limbaugh goes on the radio tomorrow and points out what "Democrats" are really like by point to threads like this, I want it on record that we are not ALL jerks who stand on the bodies of these children to get on a soapbox.

7. "Other Cuts" = Aid for Sandy victims.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Ok, I will have to grant him this...

Consistent.

He also despises FEMA. Just a fun fact.

[Dawson Leery]

13. Coburn clearly does not fit in the GOP. He is consistent in his opposition to government spending.

14. You do know "twitchy" was created by Michelle Malkin

I never go there.
It's a site that re-tweets mostly RW crap. In other words, it's for people who want to know whats on Twitter without ever using Twitter, in order to propegate and manipulate media with RW memes. Failed miserably during Romney's campaign.
Besides, I hate that beyatch.
