Are there no elected officials out there that represent us??
Tom Coburn represents me both as a conservative (proudly not a Republican) and as an Oklahoman.
A blind squirrel finds a nut every so often. If Obama maintains his promise to go through the budget and eliminate unneeded programs, conservatives should work with him on that.
Simply trying to grind the government to a halt does no good. Acting like the Democrats did for 8 years does no good. It may be satisfying, but it is not productive. That doesn’t mean they (or we) give up our right to voice genuine concern. Just that we aren’t going to make an issue of something because a Democrat came up with it.
