Why We Can't Forget That Oklahoma's Senators Voted Against Sandy Relief

[nickcarraway]

Why is Senator Coburn acting like a fiscal conservative now, when he went full-on socialist in 2008? He decided that any stimulus/bail out/pork was good?

[SnakeDoctor]

Budget cuts are great. Using budget negotiations to delay assistance to people that genuinely need help isn’t going win any converts, though.

This isn’t the hill to die on.

Just say NO to Uncle Sugar and the strings attached.

He has always been a man of integrity....I am glad he is consistent

[Amendment10]

With all due respect to everybody who was in any way affected by the hurricane, the states have never amended the much-neglected Constitution to authorize Congress to tax and spend for relief purposes associated with natural disasters. But I think that such an amendment would be appropriate.

Just heard the Mayor of Moore on NBC say that most of the people who live there in Moore work for the government, FEMA, FAA,....

[Carbonsteel]

Responsible budget cuts are desperately needed. But sometimes guys like Cohbern don't realize the damage they do by advocating for cuts that are not needed.

This not only hurts his constituents but it gives canon fodder to the left to bash conservatives as uncaring and allows them to blame us every time a disaster like this strikes. And believe me they are out in force blaming conservatives and Republicans for the mess in Oklahoma.

Of course if the idiots in Washington would just address the waste, fraud, and abuse alone...we wouldn't need cuts of any kind. Much less cuts to our disaster relief programs.

>> Sen. Tom Coburn doesn't want tornado relief money <<

I'll take it! Doesn't matter if South Dakota hasn't had any tornados lately. ANY federal pork for SD is good pork
