Wow!… Senator Coburn MD Warns Dems: We Will Find Your Bribe- We Will Outline Your Vote Buying- Be Prepared to Defend Selling Your Vote in the House (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 18, 2010, 12:15 PM
Senator Tom Coburn MD (R-OK) warned House Democrats today–
“We will find out and out you if you sell your vote.”
From the Senate Republican Doctors Show today:
Via Patriot Room
Senator Tom Coburn warned members of the House of Representatives that Republican senators will watch carefully for any deals the White House or Democratic leaders make with members in exchange for their votes.
Senator Tom Coburn threatened House Democrats– We will out you for selling your vote.
“I want to send a couple of messages to my colleagues in the House. If you voted “no” and you vote “yes” and you lose your election, and you think any nomination for a federal position isn’t going to be held up in the Senate, I’ve got news for you. It will be held.
Number two is if you get a deal, a parochial deal for you or your district, I’ve already instructed my staff and the staff of 7 other senators that we will look at every appropriations bill at every level at every incidence and we will outline it by district and we will associate that with the buying of your vote. So, if you think you can cut a deal now and it can not come out until after the election, I want to tell you that that aint gonna happen. And, be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House.”
More… Dems are handing out the goodies now.

Obviously, they aren’t concerned and they don’t care what you and the majority of US citizens think. It is pretty much over, unfortunately.

Per Redstate.com , spread this over the internet like wildfire and lobby your Senator to attach this amendment to any and all pending bills on the floor of the Senate.
http://www.redstate.com/dan_perrin/2010/03/18/mr-president-i-send-an-unprinted-amendment-to-the-desk/
START OF TEXT OF THE AMENDMENT:
Unprinted Amendment No.___ .
Intended to Proposed by Mr. _________.
Viz:
Add at the end of the bill the following new Section:
“Sec.___ . a) Inasmuch as Sections Five and Seven of Article I of the United States Constitution mandate a certain process for the enactment of a federal law and do not allow a measure to become a law by “deeming” it passed by either House of Congress, it is the Sense of the Senate and its judgment that the House of Representatives is required by the Supreme Law of the United States, to vote directly and up or down on H.R. 3590 in order to send that measure lawfully to the President, if, and only if, it shall have been approved by a majority vote of each such House taken on an identical measure; and, more particularly, it is the Sense of the Senate that, in conformity with Article I of the Constitution, the House of Representatives, unless the measure is returned to the Senate with an Amendment by the House, must vote directly on the language sent to it by the Senate precisely as it was duly enrolled at the direction of the Senate by its Enrolling Clerk, certified as an Act of the Senate by the Secretary of the Senate, and thereupon transmitted by the Senate’s Messenger to the House Chamber while the House of Representatives was in actual Session.
b) It is the further Sense of the Senate that the exact words that the Senate caused to be enrolled on parchment and taken by messenger to the House of Representatives, constitute the sole document and the only document upon which Members of the House can lawfully cast their vote, whether Yeah or Nay, under the process expressly mandated by the United States Constitution; and it is also the Sense of the Senate and its judgment that to do otherwise by “deeming” rather than voting would void any purported enactment, deprive it of the force of law, justify disobedience to it, and cause irreparable violence and harm to our system of government and its fundamental law through fraud, deception, abuse of power, and usurpation of the civil rights of the People.
c) This Section maybe cited as the “Congressional Voting Rights Resolution.”.
END OF AMENDMENT TEXT.

Here is my question:
If it is legal to ‘deem’ the Senate bill…doesn’t the second they ‘deem’ it, the bill become a law that Obama can sign?

If the GOP gains back the Congress in November, can the GOP “deem” the act repealed?
Steve White commented:
Good to see Coburn stand up on this.
We need some more Pubs to back him up, publicly, right now.
Coburn can put a hold on a nominee only for so long. He can’t grill every nominee in a committee — he might not be on that committee.
Having a dozen Senate Pubs endorse the Coburn Position, right out in the open, would make clear to the Dhimmicrats just what is at stake here. They already understand that it would be ‘difficult’ to be bipartisan after this, but they may not know just how difficult. Coburn is educating them. More Pubs need to step up.

A while back someone posted on a blog I frequent that Obama was going to appoint MO Senator Claire McCaskill to the Missouri Supreme Court; in return for her support for Obamacare, I suppose.
At the time I thought it was not likely since the governor of the state appoints state Supreme Court Judges.
But in February, Obama appointed MO governor, Jay Nixon, to his Council of Governors and now the puzzle pieces are beginning to show the full picture.
A current MO judge may be due soon for a retention vote of the people.
If he is not retained, the position would be open. Also he and another judge are approaching retirement age very soon.
Now who would the Democrat governor on Obama’s Council of Governors, appoint to the MO Supreme court? Claire McCaskill, ya think? It’s no wonder she’s not concerned about being re-elected in2012.

I got a robo-email from BarackObama.com encouraging me to harrass Todd Tiahrt. Here’s my reply:
From: Natalie Foster, BarackObama.com
To: **********
Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 2:38 PM
Subject: Tell Rep. Tiahrt who you’re fighting for
Hi, Natalie,
Thank you for sending me the link to contact my Representative, Todd Tiahrt, but Todd is not just my Congressional Representative, he is also a personal friend, so I could just pick up the phone and call him. Fortunately, Natoma is being well cared for by the great healthcare system we have, and she will also be able to keep her home, so that is encouraging, and we don’t need to destroy the best healthcare delivery system in the world over a misunderstanding. I fully support the reforms that will put more control over my relationship with my doctor in my hands and allow me to buy my own insurance plan based on my own needs. I won’t need abortion coverage, so if you could get the President to encourage my insurer to take that out of my plan and replace it with prostate exams, I would really appreciate it.
I’ll be sure to pass on your concerns to Todd in person next time I talk to him.
All the best,

Pelosi’s book will probably be entitled Commiting Political Suicide For Fun And Profit.
You Rippercrats have discovered a terrific issue for the Republicans by taking this over to the dark side. This bill will end up in the courts for years because of the Unconstitutional nature of passing a bill without voting on it. Come November you Congressional Dems better not even spit on the sidewalk because Mr. Coburn and others will chase you out of Government.
A shout out to Mark Levin whose Landmark Legal Foundation will be taking this to court. Also the Gov’s of 38 states who will sue Congress.
I never believed they would try this because I thought that the more intelligent amongst them would prevail–but I guess when the House of Representives becomes Jonestown, everyone fights for the last drop of Koolaid.
sandy commented:
Its hard to conceive of a bill in which the most volnerable amongst us–namely Seniors and the Unborn get to be Euthanized in the name of Barack Hussein Obama. The Dems are proud to say that Abortion will go up 30% after this bill is passed.

Dell commented:
Senator Tom Coburn’s threat is – at best – little more than smoke with no fire.
Think about it. The president can appoint people to all kinds of high-paying positions WITHOUT the “advice and consent” of the Senate. In fact, he’s about to make a few recess appointments during the upcoming Easter recess. He can also “hire” White House staff personnel without any review by the Senate, so this is saber-rattling, at best.
It would be nice to have the research done, however, just to make public.

We have been let down by our Republican Reps and Sens. Every so often one of them comes out and says something admirable.

This time its Coburn.
Well it’s too little too late.
Why in the hell aren’t EVERY ONE of them making statements, pronouncements, standing up for the Constitution, defending free market principles, vocalizing the ideas of personal responsibility and inititative?
We need to replace them all, Democrats first, then the Republicans. Get rid of all these nanny do-gooders who are only just getting started in controlling our lives.

Re: Republican Reps and Sens
It’s like they make a choice, ‘Well he said something sounds good so I can sit back and don’t have to stick my neck out.’ When one says something, the others decide they can lay low, stay out of the media spotlight.
Dell commented:
Just to complete a thought: I would strongly suggest that a penny-by-penny accounting be made of the 45 BILLION DOLLARS in TARP (stimulus?) funds sitting in Obama’s desk drawer, just waiting to be handed out to political districts. That would make far more sense than the appointment scheme that Colburn is talking about.

You Do Your Worst – and We Will do Our Best…appropriate every time Liberty is under assault.
(excerpted from Winston Churchill’s “A tonic for today” speech First delivered 14 July 1941)
…”We ask no favours of the enemy. We seek from them no compunction. On the contrary, if tonight our people were asked to cast their vote whether a convention should be entered into to stop the bombing of cities, the overwhelming majority would cry, “No, we will mete out to them the measure, and more than the measure, that they have meted out to us.” The people with one voice would say: “You have committed every crime under the sun. Where you have been the least resisted there you have been the most brutal. It was you who began the indiscriminate bombing. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst – and we will do our best.” Perhaps it may be our turn soon; perhaps it may be our turn now.”

Dell commented:
opaobie #45
Highly agree. I just don’t think what Coburn said today will result in much of anything. Money talks; BS walks…and it’s that 45 Billion in TARP money that I believe will “suddenly” go to the districts of those whose arms have been twisted off at the shoulder, elbow and wrist. And there’s not a damned thing Senator Coburn can do about it.

Dell, it’s $350 BILLION!. Only the first half of the $700B TARP fund was spent. The second half is in a slush fund under d’ohbama’s control.
Most likely, he’ll let some (most?) of it out just before the 2010 elections to buy votes.
(btw; Most of the “stimulus” money has NOT been spent to “stimulate” the economy yet. It will be used in the same way as TARP money – but probably just before the 2012 election.)
Carol Herman commented:
So the bamster has TARP funds. And, still, the profits at the NY Times, for instance, goes straight into pinch’s pockets. And, they’ve already fired journalists. And, people whose homes are underwater have discovered the banks got dough. And, their homes are still underwater.
Sure it’s ugly. Sure, people are upset. But they’ll still vote. And, it’s possible Howie Stern isn’t the only American who would never vote for another democrap, under any and all circumstances.
Some think this is the end of American democracy. I think we’ll get back our country! And, this will be the end of affirmative action. That’s about the choices, ahead.

Stimulus never works, delays the enevitable. didn’t like it when Bush wanted it opposed it when Barry proposed it.

Advise again, every Democrat the lengths the GOP will go to to defeat and delay the reconciliation bill.. Maybe some Democrats will join.. Get Sen.

Your party has become a sleazy bunch of hypocrits and liars. My Republican friends are real disappointed in you now, slithering around in the mud, trying to throw it at people…only it doesn’t stick to them, because it’s stuck like glue to GOP.
Let me jog your memory with this CBS 60 Minutes, Under the Influence, the expose on GOP’s Biggest Medicare Fraud ever….scumbag, shocking exploitation of little old ladies and disabled people on Medicare. And Medicare 2006 Trustees report says the GOP bill has INCREASED MEDICARES COSTS BY 25%. That’s terrible.
Throwing stones at others, with this on your record? Hypocrisy, utter hypocrisy.

Obama’s back door drug deal
What Did The White House Know About the PhRMA Deal?
[“They wanted a big player to come in and set the bar for everybody else,” Tauzin told the Times, asserting that in terms of contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, "$80 billion is the max, no more or less. Adding other stuff changes the deal.”
Tauzin said that after the deal was reached with Baucus, he confirmed the terms of the deal with White House Chief if Staff Rahm Emanuel, deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, and health care reform czar Nancy-Ann DeParle.
“They blessed the deal,” Tauzin told the Times. "As far we are concerned, that is a done deal. It’s up to the White House and Senator Baucus to follow through.”
On Wednesday, Messina seemed to confirm this deal, emailing the Times: “The president encouraged this approach. He wanted to bring all the parties to the table to discuss health insurance reform.”
But after the Times story appeared, some Democrats on the Hill expressed disappointment that the White House and Senate Finance Committee had made this deal with the lobbying group without consulting them, eliminating a way to help pay for the health care reform legislation and save money for the government.
Now the White House seems to be distancing
itself from the notion it entered into any deal.
"The White House, Senate Finance Committee and PhRMA agreed that PhRMA would contribute $80 billion to lower costs as part of the health insurance reform legislation that the President expects to sign this year," Linda Douglass, the communications director of the White House Office of Health Reform, told ABC News Saturday.]
