Coburn voted with the rest of the RINOS!
Check out the OUTRAGE on his Facebook page! WOW!
Same line of thinking that led people to conclude that surely the SCOTUS would vote to kill Obamacare.
You are living in a post-Constitutional USA anyway. There are no more checks and balances, so, no, I don’t think the debate has any useful purpose whatsoever.
I think we stand a 30 percent chance of not making it to the next Presidential election as it stands.
I agree. Called Coburns office in Washington DC and expressed my frustration
Bump
He's gone native.
Didn’t Coburn cave on some other leftist nonsense recently?
Bull!
Yes. On the bailouts and recent budget issues...
Amen to that! “We’re going to get all these guys on record.” Blah blah blah. Meanwhile, our rights are taken away. Maybe it works to get Coburn elected but our rights and prosperity are still lost.
Bttt
As someone who lost a lucrative job in the wake of the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare, I am angry. But I am not angry enough to tear down the whole system and try to start over. That is precisely what the Left wants to do and in their hyper-emotionalism, too many on the Right are playing into that possibility. That end will not be pretty.
The debate still has validity. And, I seriously doubt we will see damage to the 2nd amendment because of a healthy debate. And Congress does not have the authority to change the amendment anyway.
What’s to debate???
bttt
“Good grief. You would think he voted to confiscate everything from kitchen knives to every imaginable automatic weapon. He only voted to prevent a filibuster because it is high time we had this debate on the floor of the Senate so the real totalitarian gun grabbers will have come out of the closet. Coburn is as solid a supporter of 2nd amendment rights as you will find and suggestions to the contrary are simply a means for low-information voters to self-select.”
That’s nuts. Once it gets to the floor, anything can happen and none of it will be good. The house majority is very weak on this issue—I think some gun control bill will pass the house. Then it goes to conference, where infinite mischief can occur. Too much strategery there. Just block this awful bill however you can. Get clever on something else.
Agreed!
I am so disgusted with these piles in our government. I am glad they are getting what fer on facebook.
The Coburn of 2004 would have never voted for this garbage!!!!
I just don’t understand how the left is getting away with this. I mean I know why...by WHY?
What is it going to take to end them killing this country?
bttt
If he is, and I don't believe he is, he's not showing it by explaining his action or by stating his opposition to more federal gun restrictions. I've never heard of him voicing an inclination to repeal the Lautenberg amendment, for example.
And assuming the feds have plenary power of RKBA and 2nd amendment issues, why doesn't he propose a federal law that forbids states to pass magazine size limitations? I mean if the feds can restrict, they can also limit restrictions.
Limiting restrictions is precisely what he is trying to do in his amendments to the Manchin Toomey Proposal.
