... So, when will he be expelled from the Republican Party and/or voted out for not being conservative enough?

It's Tom Coburn. Even the crazy wingnuts are giving him this one for free. (Although I haven't checked Free Republic yet, they might be calling for his head.)

It's pretty under the radar on freep it seems. A little search and I couldn't find nothin'

Nope, just checked. They're calling for him to be voted out.

no, just don't watch Fox News.

they're the only station that sued for the right to lie on the news

I would argue not to watch any cable news, considering that they're run by major corporations and often enough tend to consolidate stories in such a way that serves state/corporate interests, within a fair amount of reason. They're ever much a bit of manufacturing consent.

yes, i do agree with that, however I feel that there are channels that seem to use a lot less rhetoric and at least try to tone down the obvious bias.

I'm Canadian so I have a real passionate hatred for Fox News.

I shouldn't be too shocked, since he and Obama were BFFs in the senate ("Am I to hate him because he has a different viewpoint than I do? Or should I love him and try to touch his heart and change him?" OTP), yet... it's Coburn. And Pelosi. And the health care bill. I'm boggled.

Trying to make up for blocking the extension of unemployment benefits and the cancellation of all that flood insurance, are we, Coburn? Categorize this under "way the hell too little and way the hell too late."
