Coburn needs to go based upon 2 glaring errors: 1)he’s a lying SOB or 2) he’s such a naive, ignorant fool that he ought not to be allowed outside his yard by himself

Peter Schweizer points out in his new book, “Throw Them All Out” unimpeachable instances of self-serving financial shenanigans by no less than Nancy Pelosi (Visa IPOs), Denny Hastert (earmarks pumping up his real estate value), Spencer Bacchus (options shorting the stock markets) John Kerry (long positions on big pharma, healthcare insurers during the national healthcare deliberations), John Boehner, Jim Moran and on and on. Schweizer’s book title says it all…THROW THEM ALL OUT.

“Congressional ethics” the new best oxymoron.

And 9 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of this United States House of Theives??? Those folks need keepers!!!
