Understanding what is wrong and being able to do something about it besides hurling molotov cocktails is a far different kettle of fish.

Newt was leader. He knew better than to make a nuclear strike that would be ineffective. Coburn did not.

Conservatives, especially radical conservatives never learn the lesson.

Politics is the art of the possible

Sounds like the age old debate between pragmatism and principle. Seeing that we ended up where we did, I would rather have had a lot more Molotov Cocktails thrown back in 1994. Could it have made things worse? How?

When Coburn was running for Senate, he said that as a heart surgeon, "he was just the kind of man needed to cut out that liberal bleeding heart in Washington."

I liked what he said then, and I like it still today.
