Let it play out Sen. Coburn and don’t undercut those real Conservatives that threaten filibuster. Coburn, quite frankly, seems to have lost some of his conservative zeal over time, has he had the RINO lobotomy?

Dems don't look like they have the votes. Perhaps Coburn is right that the up or down vote is the way to go.

I don't know that the filibuster is the right strategy. If you threaten a filibuster, but then demand an open amendment process, you actually get the best of both worlds.

Drag the vulnerable Dems through the mud. Make them vote over and over again to take away our guns and then defeat the bill.

Actually, given the GOP history of failure, I prefer the filibuster.
