Americans fed up with elected representatives who refuse to read legislation that commits taxpayers trillions of dollars before voting for such bills, have found a new friend in the Senate.
He is Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a conservative’s conservative. He is also a physican who knows more about health care than all 60 of his dishonorable opponents on the other side of the aisle combined.
The good doctor did a truly good deed on Wednesday by forcing the clerk of the Senate to read all 767 pages of an amendment to the health care bill, said amendment offered by Senator Bernie Sanders.
Dr. Coburn’s procedural manuever forced the edgy socialist from Vermont to withdraw his communist prattle from the floor, much to the relief of most thinking Americans.
Now, Dr. Coburn, why not do the same for the full bill itself, when and if that nonsense actually makes it to the floor?
Force Harry Reid and the far left to read every single word and we might be able to cutoff Obama’s folly long enough for the mid-term elections to take place, at which point Obama will be permanently relegated to lame duck status.
God Bless, Dr. Tom Coburn!
