“Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), arguably the most prominent fiscal conservative in the Senate”

I guess Sen Pat Toomey, Sen Rand Paul or Sen Pete Sessions will have to pick up that mantle now.

Chambliss is a card carrying moron who couldn’t find his azz with both hands. He never met a Democrat sponsored bill he didn’t like. We are going to get rid of him next go around.

Well that puts me in a huge dilemma. Anyone that disses Glover bin Norquist deserves my highest respect and I can’t hold a RINO in high respect. Life’s decisions used to be so much easier. sigh.....

+1 Bin Norquist is married to a muslim woman, that's the reason for his slide into their agenda.

What a two faced corporate welfare shill... He gets a nice, cushy 501(c)3 exemption on his taxes...

I agree that Norquist is a steaming pile, but as far as taking advantage of a tax exemption, good for him. I wish I could. What's your problem with somebody paying less taxes? Comments like yours make me squint my eyes in suspicion.

It won't be Toomey. That sick p.o.s. Toomey supports the sodomization of the US military.

He has led the way in making budget cuts for YEARS.

You mean until now when we really need it.

Congress isn't serious. We knew that when they agreed 38 billion in cuts - a number that wouldn't cover one single day's overspending.

Now that there is a real push going on, we know who the really serious are and who the people just saying it are (people like Coburn).

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) co-sponsored Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) SR 511 (April 30, 2008) which was used to make Obama eligible, as well as McCain. Everyone who signed SR 511 is a traitor to America and the Constitution. That’s why Repubs won’t dare hold impeachment hearings, and why they continue to insist Obama was born in Hawaii, etc. etc.

Then, Dean forced Hillary’s delegates to switch their votes to Obama at the DNC. Coincidences or Conspiracy??? And don’t forget the secret meeting of Congress Mar. 12, 2008 which foretold America’s economic downfall. Who was calling those shots? Why won’t Congress tell? And the run on the banks?? All coincidences?? I think it was a coup designed to “fundamentally transform America.”

It will be a miracle if we get our country back. The Tea Parties are leading the way. RINO’s have to get out of the way.

G.W. Bush gave Norquist the responsibility of setting up an office in the WH for Muslims after 9/11. They were all scared s___less!!

And lets not forget that Grover al-Norquist considers getting rid of the ethanol subsidy a tax.

The 501(c)3 tax exempt corporation is corporate welfare...

Sierra Club, Greenpeace, ACLU, SEIU, NPR, PBS, GLESN, PFLAG, CAIR and every other alphabet soup, leftist nutjob group you can name is a 501(C)3.

Anyone, including Norquist, who takes up the faggot agenda is a leftist scum and cannot be trusted.

You need to do further research. Your ignorance is showing.

Considering that SR511 rested on McCain being born to TWO American parents stationed abroad in service to the military, the idea that the same is used to make Obama eligible is nuts.

Surely you don’t think that children born abroad to American citizens serving in the military shouldn’t be eligible to hold the office of US president?

Coburn also endorsed McCain in 2008.

An enemy of Norquist is a friend of the US.

Norquist is human scum.
