“Tom Coburn: I don’t think it’s achievable.”
Nothing is achievable if you don’t try. Ask the American colonists who went to war against Great Britain. Ask Thomas Edison or the Wright brothers. Ask the men who held out at Guadalcanal or scaled the cliffs at Normandy. Ask the people of NASA who planned and executed the moon landing. Ask Dr. King. Ask Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Ask Barak Obama about passing health care.
America was once about trying the “impossible”. Today’s Republican leaders are not Americans in the traditional sense. They are protectors of conventional wisdom and their positions within the elite power structure.
South, you are a patriot!
Tom sounds like a lot of people here on FR.

Amen. Without trying, losing becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Seems now that people would rather give up, rather than invest their emotions against long odds to try and change things.
