Sen. Coburn: Pray for Death or Incapacitation of a Senator

[realdem]

let's get one thing straight...........i have family from oklahoma. i have been all over this great country and parts of the world . now listen closely smart asses . oklahomans are some of the friendliest , hard-working , genuine people you will ever meet . period .
i do not hold people from mass. responsible for that idiot barney frank or people from minnesota responible for that dork al franken .

 

[Chris]

Just like a religious conservative republican to say a prayer to prevent people from receiving healthcare.

Noose, you're making the typical OBAMARRHOIDAL statement.

Making a FALSE ASSUMPTION, then TWISTING it for your own OBAMARRHOIDAL purposes.

No sane person would want to deny healthcare to anyone.

The big issue is how to deliver it THE BEST WAY.

The Obamarrhoidal way is to deliver it by way of Govt Bureaucracy.....to wit, by a method that time, and time again produces $4000 hammers, etc.

Thus, the Govt Bureacracy way results in inefficient and costly results where one winds up with rationing, etc., i.e. in the final analysis with LESS care, and MORE expensive care.

NOW THAT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO ANYONE WHO IS NOT AN OBAMARRHOID !!!!

Republicans have been fighting to keep people from receiving healthcare for 60 years.

Ronald Reagan made an album in the 1960's in which he said that Medicare would lead to a Communist takeover of the United States.

What an idiot.

Well you should hold the people of Minnesota and the people of Mass. responsible. THEY voted those idiots into office. Ok.. maybe not Minnesota.. that would be ACORN's doing.

Daily Kos: Senator Tom Coburn's Terrible Prayer

Senator Tom Coburn's Terrible Prayer
by DowneastDem


Mon Dec 21, 2009 at 02:41:28 AM PST

Can you believe that a US senator actually prayed aloud on the senate floor for the death or incapacitation of a fellow senator? That is exactly what Sen. Tom Coburn - a medical doctor, no less - did last night.

DowneastDem's diary :: ::
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post describes how Coburn Crossed the Line.

At 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon -- nine hours before the 1 a.m. vote that would effectively clinch the legislation's passage -- Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) went to the Senate floor to propose a prayer. "What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight," he said. "That's what they ought to pray."

There was absolutely no mystery concerning which senator was being referenced by Coburn.

It was difficult to escape the conclusion that Coburn was referring to the 92-year-old, wheelchair-bound Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) who has been in and out of hospitals and lay at home ailing. It would not be easy for Byrd to get out of bed in the wee hours with deep snow on the ground and ice on the roads -- but without his vote, Democrats wouldn't have the 60 they needed.

Senator Dick Durbin spoke expressed outrage at the behavior of Sen. Coburn. But the best revenge came from 92-year-old Senator Byrd himself:

Coburn was wearing blue jeans, an argyle sweater and a tweed jacket with elbow patches when he walked back into the chamber a few minutes before 1 a.m. He watched without expression when Byrd was wheeled in, dabbing his eyes and nose with tissues, his complexion pale. When his name was called, Byrd shot his right index finger into the air as he shouted "aye," then pumped his left fist in defiance.

Here is my prayer: I pray for the people of Oklahoma that they will someday come to their senses and elect principled men and women to office.

You need to stay off the Daily Kos or Huff Post. This type of illogical hysteria is owned by the left wingnuts.
Think about this with just a bit of common sense; A major snowstorm just hit Washington DC and surronding areas 2 days ago. This shut down all air travel and most vehicle travel. It si no stretch to think that some politicians may not be able to get back for the vote as many people have bee stranded and missed flights and etc.
Garbage like these headlines belong in the Enquirer but are usually owned by the MSM and the Left.

 

[Chris]

Apparently the Democrats prayed harder.

 

[Vel]

Honestly people!

We are talking about HEALTHCARE here. Something that ensures the well being of the American people. I can understand arguing I prefer this method to that method or I would rather pay for it this way.

But to wish ill will on someone because of healthcare is pretty sick

Honestly.. Learn the difference between HEALTHCARE and HEALTH INSURANCE. The words are not interchangeable. This bill deals with INSURANCE, because there isn't a damn thing in it to actually improve healthcare.

 

[realdem]

oh i forgot..........i guess i should hold people from nebraska and nevada responsible for the extortion and bribery it took to get senator nelson's vote.
bastards

The town of Jones Oklahoma has had 25 earthquakes since March 2009. The most recent earthquake was this last Saturday. What is so significant about this is that Oklahoma gets only a few a year as a state. What is causing this tremendous increase in seismic activity in Jones, OKlahoma? Is this the prelude to the big one in the middle of the country. It's sure got Jones shook up.

Let us pray...

Please God, do not allow the American people to get healthcare. Deny those heathens with your god given pre-existing conditions the right to insurance. Support thy rightious insurance companies in their quest to make profits.

Can I get an AMEN??

Liberal prayer:
Dear God, I know in my heart that this healthcare bill is a joke and only adds to the politician's power over us. I am so blinded by partisan politics that I would rather a bad bill pass so my party can claim victory.

I have heard the question before but have never been able to give an honest answer; that the politicians are not really interested in our heath, but only in their power and ability to continue to hold office through the next election. That will show the other side. I realize it will be no victory for anyone other that politicians but do kind of like their cradle to grave, only govt can help mentality.

I have no will of my own and no desire to change that fact so I gladly let the govt do everything for me.

You are just pissed because you lost the election.

Great, well thought out comeback. I will fix the quote though:

"You are just pissed because all the american people lost in the election"

By the way, why don't you respond to my accusation of the politicians only caring about more power. Can you honestly disagree and believe they have our best interests at heart.
I have yet to get a response from that statement/question because even hard core libs on this board know the politicians only care about themselves and staying in power.

Still no honest answer. You must be a tap dancer. Just one question looking for 1 honest answer. Looks like you just don't have it in you or your partisan glasses are in the way. Fact is I know the answer and am pretty confident you do too as i can tell by your non answer. Its OK if you truly believe in your heart they want this legislation so you can be happy with "free" healthcare, that is fine just very misguided.

PissyChrisy,

The only problem in this country are you OBAMARRHOIDAL idiots.....no matter WHAT OBVIOUS EVIDENCE EXISTS.....such as GOVT PRODUCED "$4000" hammers.....because each claim, or proposition has to go thru scores of different layers of bureaucracy with predictable boondoggling ( ALSO, assuming that there isn't any CORRUPTION along the way.....where usually there is).

And, ALL that is underlined by the FAILED examples in History: Witness Commie Russia and China...... and, with SOCIALISTIC EUROPE's INFERIOR economies.

And their Health care.......where droves of the sick come to America because of INEVITABLE Rationing in Socialistic Europe, as well as their ESTABLISHED long waits AND effective treatment.

But assholes like you just don't GEDDIT.

 

[MajikMyst]

I think it is sick that any politician would pray that any other politician would not be able to perform his job.. To me it shows the lack of respect for the american people..

And leave it to a rebuttlican to show a lack of respect for the american people.. Not surprising.. Anything to bust a bill they don't like.. Anything to deny people healthcare.. Anything to prevent america from being a better place for it's people..

I pray that the american people grow a brain and vote any and all rebuttlicans out of office..

I know.. You conservatives aren't going to like that?? What is the difference??

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..

Read your bible you morons!!

 

[rightwinger]

Just like a religious conservative republican to say a prayer to prevent people from receiving healthcare.

Actually, I am praying that God save this country and it's citizens from looking like Haiti a 3rd world country living in tar paper shacks because of your Messiah's reckless and irresponsible spending habits. Maybe you should check out Haiti's healthcare system to see what their's is all about, that is, if you can find an open hospital or a doctor anywhere.

CBO has rated the healthcare plan as SAVING money. It is the Republicans who want to use Hati as a model for healthcare. Only the wealthy can afford treatment, if you can't afford it, its your own fault

Hey! RightWinger, if 45 thousand Americans die each year from lack of access to health care how come the democrats are gonna make people wait four years to access health care? That's 180,000 dead people. How do democrats live with the fact that they have murdered 180,000 people?

 

[Harry Dresden]

Pray and 99.99999999% of the time, God won't answer that prayer. However, that 0.000000001% of the time proves God exists. Statistically, it's EXACTLY the same as "coincidence". Odd that.

he exists....he turned you into a pile of shit.....be nice and maybe ill use my Wizardry powers and turn you back into a Toad.....

The likelihood of the existence of a god is exactly equal to the effectiveness your "wizardly powers". If you had such powers, one, you wouldn't have such bad skin and two, you wouldn't be so heavily dependent on Viagra.

actually its Levitra....and my zits are gone.....

I am sure that afterwards Tom went home to his C Street home a tried to help a fellow Republican Senator out of a adultry scandal.

PERRspectives: The Curious Case of Tom Coburn

Politics, they say, makes strange bedfellows. And perhaps none is stranger than Oklahoma Republican Senator Tom Coburn. As the Washington Post reported today, the tenant of the mysterious "C Street" brownstone was a key player in both the Ensign and Sanford affairs. As it turns out, the arch-conservative Coburn also happens to be a friend and confidante of President Barack Obama.

During his nationally-televised implosion on Wednesday, disgraced South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford made passing reference to "the Fellowship," a secretive Christian group whose $1.8 million DC building is home to several members of Congress of both parties. Asked if his wife and family knew of his affair prior to his latest Argentinian adventure, Sanford responded:

"We've been working through this thing for about the last five months. I've been to a lot of different--as part of what we called "C Street" when I was in Washington. It was, believe it or not, a Christian Bible study--some folks that asked members of Congress hard questions that I think were very, very important. And I've been working with them."
As fate would have it, the C Street house has also been home to Nevada's John Ensign and his Republican colleague turned spiritual and marriage counselor, Tom Coburn. As the Washington Post detailed:

The house pulsed with backstage intrigue, in the days and months before the Sanford and Ensign scandals -- dubbed "two lightning strikes" by a high-ranking congressional source. First, at least one resident learned of both the Sanford and Ensign affairs and tried to talk each politician into ending his philandering, a source close to the congressman said. Then the house drama escalated. It was then that Doug Hampton, the husband of Ensign's mistress, endured an emotional meeting with Sen. Tom Coburn, who lives there, according to the source.

Well...I see you have found that you have something in common with Sanford...both of you are sneaky lying bastards who like to bullshit people.
