Don't give up, Senator Coburn!!
Who were the 15 with the cojones to actually vote the right way on this?

Coburn's amendment went down 15 to 82. I can't believe it. Mike Dewine was one of the 15 on the good sice. I'll be firing him off a thank you email today.

Maybe he's beginning to feel the pinch and realizes he might lose in his next primary.

Who were the 15 brave souls who voted in favor of the amendment? They are to be commended. The others, who voted against it, deserve our contempt.

Someone should challenge these pork projects on constitutional grounds. What is federal about them?
To: dubyaismypresident
That tells me Allen's definitely running for President...

Sorry to see this go down. We need to work to elect more Tom Coburns.
To: dubyaismypresident
Feingold? In his dreams!
Or my worst nightmares.

I don't think they read their e mail, that's why I always call...ask for the Chief of Staff or Office Manager.

Yes, we do. I'll take 60 Tom Coburns in the Senate and 265 Mike Pences in the house.

I want to express thanks to the OK voters who voted to send Tom Coburn to the US Senate.
He is saying things that need saying and are long overdue. The Senate is not a house of lords who gift each other with presents extracted under duress from the peasants. It is the body that is to temper the excesses that the too democratic House passes in haste and passion. That was the original intent of the Constitution.

Hey - he sounds great. I hope he can make better progress next time, but he sure is fighting an uphill battle.
It's just shocking to me that, once questioned, something like a sculpture park would ~still~ end up supported.

Pork is how they buy votes without the hassle of a PAC.
