Isn't this the clown that ran an ad apologizing for lying to the public? A perfect choice for the dem's...although I much prefer the movement to choose Howard Dean thereby ensuring future election losses for the loser party
Tom Coburn isn't afraid of being disliked. In a bitter campaign for an Oklahoma Senate seat against Democrat Brad Carson, the 56-year-old family-practice doctor characterized the race as a choice between "good and evil."
Remarks like that landed Coburn--who, like his opponent, had served in Congress--in so much hot water that many national Republicans, including House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert, had all but conceded the race. But Coburn, who calls himself a "plain ol' conservative," refused to tone down his message, calling for the death penalty for abortionists and alluding to "rampant lesbianism" in Oklahoma schools.
But all the controversy didn't scare off some voters, who admired the cancer survivor for speaking his mind. Now headed for Washington, the married grandfather plans to keep fanning the flames: He wants to reform Social Security and Medicare and has already criticized members of his own party for spending too much taxpayer money. "If you like Washington the way it is," he said, "don't vote for me."
Whoo Hoo! Go Dr. Tom! Knock some heads in Washington!
