You ignornat piece of garbage. Your STUPID is galactic level. I scrape things off my SHOE that are smarter than you are ever going to be you worthless ignorant troll. You make my plastic houseplant look like a genius. Please stop stinking up this site you do nothing but embarass yourself by parading your ignorance in this humiliating fashion

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has taken a stand that he will block any bill that comes up if the ways of funding it are not spelled out.

What a great idea, don’t spend what you don’t have. WE need 99 more senators who say pay for it now, don’t pass it on to the next generation. If all senators would do that, the waste, pork barrel spending would end. you want to target the ONLY Honest Senator up there. If they had to pay for all the programs they think of up front 9 of 10 would be voted out. Hell have the ball to tell people we want 66% of your income to fund programs we think you need, we will not pass the expense on to your kids.

Coburn initially blocked it because it would have authorized nearly a billion dollars over eight years to fund a law enforcement crackdown on child exploitation. Coburn has insisted that new government programs be offset with spending cuts, a budget-saving device Biden’s bill lacked.
Coburn now wants Biden’s revised proposal paired with Republican legislation that would give law enforcement greater access to the online records of suspected sexual predators.
Reid bundled the Biden bill with nearly 35 other bills that Coburn has used Senate rules to block into a package known as the Coburn omnibus.
“Oprah’s viewers deserve to know that Senate leaders have twice objected to passage of the bill she supports. Senate leaders have insisted … [the bill] only pass if it is included in a package of unrelated bills that addresses less vital concerns such as the interstate commerce of non-human primates,” Coburn said.
Since Coburn’s initial objection, Biden has pared down the cost of his bill to $320 million over the next five years.
Coburn has dropped his objection to the cost but still questions the efficacy of a new program if Congress does not grant law enforcement officials greater access to Internet service provider records that would help them trace online child pornography.

This bill is important enough to pass on its own rather than bundle it with other, lesser known bills. It would also be responsible to offset the cost of the bill with spending cuts and to give authorities the tools to investigate those suspected of online child predation and/or porn.

He thinks he’s more right then anyone, kind of the way fundamentalist Christians think they believe in God more then anyone or have more family values then anyone.

That is the essence of conservative right wing Republican party and they will ruin this country.

(Except for Will Rogers, Woody Guthrie and Mickey Mantle…)

Harry Reid is a lying sack of $hit. Coburn can block those bills because Reid allows him to do it. I forgot what Democratic Senator tried to block a FISA bill in the same way and Harry Reid overruled the Senator and brought it to a vote anyway. If he can do that to someone in his own party, he can do it to Coburn.

Why is Coburn such a child hating, miserly, cheapass effing reprobate?

And get this, he is a f’ing MD. I just hope he isn’t a pediatrician!

Get rid of the ‘hold’, Its no longer needed. McCain invented teh Blackbury!
