(13,920 posts)Would love to have a government that worked on each issue separately, rather than regarding each issue as a party line vote regardless of what America or their specific district might want, need, or care about.
If Coburn supports something thats worth doing, I would accept his vote on the issue. And I have no problem with Obama praising him for it. Same with Paul. Or Warren. Or Obama himself. I would not support Obama praising Coburn or any other for working on bills that are harmful to his state or to the nation. Again, same goes for every other politician.
They should all be supported when they make the right call, and called out when they make the wrong ones. Like supporting Drones, or wanting to do away with public education, or Social Security.
Mb Isnt an elected official, so that changes things a bit. She isn't responsible to anyone except her personal conscience, having taken no oath of office. Still, I think she should also receive positive reinforcement for stances she pushes that are correct, and not for things that she supports that are not.
So, in the mean time, its your assertion that she support unfettered worldwide gun distribution? Or are you just imputing that to gin up controversy, the same way that Issa is fond of making up crap about Bengazi to try and attack Obama?
