It isn’t about getting anything from liberals. Its about not becoming a goddam caricature. Fighting against aide for tornado victims within 24-hours of the storm is walking into a trap. And, it won’t make a bit of difference toward your goal anyway.

Leave meaningless, and stupid, symbolic gestures for the left. Lets aim for EFFECTIVE fights ... not symbolic fights that are unwinnable.

100% downside on this. All symbolism, no substance ... all defeat, no chance of victory.

It's wrong. Period. Who cares what anyone thinks? You either do the right thing, or you don't.

And Coburn isn't just today fighting against this kind of crap. He caught heck for it on Sandy.

Not that I care much about PR crap, but in this case, since Coburn is so popular in the State, and it's his state that he doesn't want getting federal aid without corresponding cuts elsewhere, conservatives have a chance to make a great PR point that it's not about pork, except for liberals.

Standing on principle is good PR in the long run.
