Its a sad commentary on our politics that he cant show civility to a leader of a movement that routinely calls people like you and me teabagging racists.
Theres nothing nice about Nancy, Inhofe said during an interview on KFAQ radio in Oklahoma this morning. She disagrees with everything we believe.
She is nice how many of you all have met her? Shes a nice person, Coburn said. Just because somebody disagrees with you dont mean theyre not a good person.
Inhofe had a slightly different take.
She is a powerful person, he said. People wonder how she can keep getting reelected just go out to her district.
The boss emeritus calls her an embarrassment to women, but thats because MM doesnt appreciate respect for ones opponents the way the people who call her a coconut race traitor do.
I have no Pelosi video to offer you, alas, so heres one of Barney Frank from Leno last night blaming Newt Gingrich for having introduced hate to politics or something. It was pretty hateful of the GOP to take back the House after 40 years, Ill grant him that. Oh, and heres another video from the same show of Frank saying, no thanks, hed rather not dine with Karl Rove because he doesnt like him. Civility-mania!
Link it. You are trolling.
"LINK it"?
Good grief, man -- it's the Article posted above. I don't have to "Link it", it's right in front of your eyes!
Read the article posted above. Note that I commented on that article.
Comment on the article yourself, if you wanna. I did.
That is my thinking exactly. However I realize, we will never acheive purity (or complete agreement with any one individual) and this was a public gaffe which did show weakness. As long as his votes do not start reflecting this attitude then it was nothing more than a verbal screw up. But he injected doubt regarding the ability to hold the line. I had the same reaction about Palin endorsing McCain; however, she is going the distance and proving that she is rock solid. I still question that decision, but since then she has been brilliant on the public stage imo.
We will have to wait and see on future issues with Coburn.
Errrrr, I don't normally read comments on HotAir. I post to FR. Perhaps you can post your comments on the article.....errr...here.
I did. I made an observation that although I disagree with Tom Coburn on this one issue, I still think that he's a heckuva good senator, for the most part.
Errr.... do you disagree? I mean, you can if you wanna, that's your right; but personally, I still think that Coburn is a pretty solid guy.
I am very interested in reconciling with you, but you have taken the word of a liar and made a bizarre and false accusation which cannot be glossed over by trying to change the subject.
Whenever you are actually interested in 'conciliation,' let me know.
Until then.....peace, bro.
PS
I’m tired of the conservative label as too..and believe , like you, that constitutionalist is a much better fit.
I agree. And in the “art” of politics, sometimes diplomacy and even duplicity have to be employed; but the should not be the main tactic or method.
I realize that DC is a festering swamp of crime - bribery, blackmail, payoffs, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours - but it doesn’t have to be that way. And the sooner it STOPS being that way, the better. It has to stop, or our country will soon be in the dustbin of history.
Moral principles and moral courage are needed infinitely more than suave social skills.
PS - Heheh! The world “Conservative” is tainted.
I henceforth will not identify with that term any more!
Crap dude, I've seen Spirograph's make straighter lines than that. I already argued that Coburn is good to go. You're the goofy ron paul supporter. Try harder next time....
Okay, I retract the accusation.
I will instead wait to read your comments about Anti-War Republican candidate Tom Mullins, on another thread to which I have pinged you. I'm curious to read your response, to see if my impression has been incorrect -- or was correct, after all.
I'll wait and watch to see, on that thread.
In the meantime, as I said -- I do disagree with Tom Coburn on this matter, but I do still think he's a heckuva good Senator overall. To me, 80% of a loaf is still pretty good. I apply that standard to a lot of the candidates I support.
Except that I didn't say anything about Ron Paul on this thread.
Errr.... you did.
Wouldn't that make you the Troll, then?
She is a rabid female dog, with out the mitigating trade off of the ability to breed.
Not that I am saying that’s a bad thing....
She needs to be retired.
You are both right, its way far past time to STOP being nice. Time to start treating them the way they treat us.
Its time to call them what they are. Racists. Race Baiter’s, incompetent and all around selfish, self serving, oh, and corrupt. In other words, Satan’s perfect minions.
I could go on, but I know I am preaching to the choir here LOL.
You can search by name on FR.....you're trolling. Poorly I might add....
Run for office, Danae!
You too, Outlaw Woman!
I would but I would alienate all voter blocs. Plus I can’t be in the same room with any perfume... seriously! Cramps all public appearances. ;-)
Gee, I'm sorry if that makes you cry.
Maybe, but we need to hear it anyway! Thank you.
I don’t think I could win.
1) no money.
2) I tell the unvarnished truth too often.
