As you pointed out, Coburn is a very reliable conservative vote. I think he tries to be polite and respectful to other people, including Democrats. He doesn’t seem to understand that Democrats are tearing apart our civil society by the way they use government to browbeat opposition. I cannot be nice, for example, to people who want to fundamentally transform America into a socialistic state. Regardless, I don’t think Coburn deserves the treatment he’s getting here. Again, he’s a dependable conservative who truly wants to cut government.
After the GOPe stratergery of getting more RINOs elected failed in 2012, it is time to go for broke. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
