I believe you are ignorant of what Tom Coburn has done for conservatives during his career. I’m not going to argue that he is a purist, that is obvious by his support for John McCain in 2008. But the man has been a champion for many of our conservative values throughout his career in the house and senate.
Attack him for what he is doing now. Why do people feel they have to re-write history instead of making a rational argument?
I’m afraid that you are ignorant of my knowledge of Coburn, sir.
For example, Coburn stands with Schumer and Manchin (whom Coburn donated re-election money to against the Republican) on universal background checks.
I’m not sure that is really “doing something for Conservatives,” but in my area, it is not.
He broke with Conservatives to support the 2011 ethanol amendment saying that we need some tax increases to continue spending. Uhm..... ok.
Sure, he’s voted “correctly,” often. Great. But what has he DONE? Not much that anyone - even a Scott Brown - couldn’t do.
He’s no champion and, in a pinch, he’s unreliable. At best.
He’s close to his 20th year in public office beginning in 1994..... he goes on a leftist, progressive network and trashes a man who has the guts to do what he won’t. Time to go home and re-learn what it means to be a citizen under the yoke of government.
