I'm pretty sure that at least some of these homeowners didn't vote for Coburn or Inhofe.

It's sad that you even need to post this. Extreme partisanship is so destructive. Buzz Clik May 2013 #1

But we get to live with their votes, too.

Don't worry, they're hypocrites of the highest order. They won't stand in the way of relief money for their own state.

that this moralizing, selfish asshat has _plenty_ of support. Coburn is positioned not only as an elected "leader," but as a moral "leader" and many, many Oklahomans -- self interest be damned -- support politicians who share their faith, very often at their own peril and the peril of generations to come. He is the scourge of progressive Oklahomans -- and yes there are progressive Oklahomans, like DUers madokie and OKNancy, among others.
