Colonel, Coburn has been fighting the good fight of conservatism since his election. He will DEFINITELY fight Hussein on abortion, terrorism, etc. Don’t believe for one minute Coburn was advocating cooperation on those issues.

What he mentioned was “finding programs that don’t work”, and a “line by line” budget review. Hussein mentioned those in his campaign. Coburn wants to keep him to that.

We need to show a good faith effort to work with Hussein, at least we have to do that...and of course fight him on issues where we disagree.

Conservative ideas should win in the end. And if we have to leave, do a gov’t in exile, etc. then so be it. Hopefully we won’t have to go through an entire decade like the 1960s with an LBJ styled gubmint before we realize we need to go back to our principles.

Coburn is accurate in his article, though, about Republican conservatives being shunned by even their own party. Now that party is paying the price.

We can’t go back. We have to rebuild. And small but sure gains can be made by working even with Hussein if he is truly willing to shut down gov’t programs that don’t work.

And we still must fight him on life issues, etc.

And our message has to be carried with a happier face. A cheerful, Reaganesque tone must be struck. That is why Sarah was such a hit with the base...and why her and people like Bobby Jindal have an opportunity to reach out beyond the “base”. They just need to be prepared for what we know will happen: a media attack that is constant. Sarah kept a cheerful attitude throughout, and that is to her credit.

Just mho, Jessup. :)

Yep. Obama says he wants to listen. Well if he wants to be President of all the American people and not just those who voted for him, a good sign will be his willingness to work together with folks like Tom Coburn. We won't agree on everything. He may not be my President but its our duty to help him do things that are right for our country and to oppose him if they are things that would injure it. I don't mean giving up our principles and agreeing with what the Democrats intend to do to our country but offering constructive advice and solutions. So if he is going to be true to his word, we'll get things done for the American people. If not, its going to be a long, acrimonious and hard four years.

We don't have to show squat. The reason those abominable 'Rats now control all three branches of government is because they are ready to play cutthroat politics at every turn, take no prisoners, decimate, obliterate and humiliate their enemies at every turn. Republicans haven't got the spine to do likewise. That's why Tuesday turned out the way it did.

As for 'working with Hussein', they told Germany's Social Democrats in 1932 that they would have to 'work' with Chancellor Hitler too. How did that turn out?

Coburn will definitely fight them? People of Ayer’s &Dohrn’s mindset, massive executions of those who disagree? ‘Rev’ Wright & G_d DAMN America!!!” A President (by COUP, not election)who is making his plans for a million-member Internal Security Force? And more—! Coburn will be shot down before his hand reaches his holster (fig.) I know people are afraid, but if we go along & get along & sing kumbaya—you will reach a point where you will wish you had fought this outrage. Al-Abama was not legally elected and you know it, so what’s the double-talk for?
