Coburn lends hand to Inhofe
U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn is “asking everyone to support my friend and colleague, Jim Inhofe,” in an e-mail paid for by Inhofe’s re-election campaign.
Coburn, R-Muskogee, said an Inhofe victory would send a message to Washington that “America is fed up with wasteful spending and high taxes.”
Coburn said Inhofe, R-Tulsa, led efforts to defeat a climate-change bill that would have set a limit on the emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide from the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas, Coburn said. Had it passed, America would have faced the largest tax increase in the country’s history, he said.
Coburn said Inhofe’s challenger, state Sen. Andrew Rice, D-Oklahoma City, would be “another vote for the big spending, anti-energy, and ‘government knows best’ policies of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
“When Jim’s opponent, Andrew Rice, tried to link his policies with mine I made it known that I will not be associated with Rice’s liberal agenda,” Coburn said.

Sorry about that, Tom, but you don’t send a republican back to the congress with a message they can’t read. Sort of like a doctor’s prescription. Inhofe is not only part of the problem, he’s a leader, too boot. He would leave America and its middle class and its employers and businesses to die while voting simultaneously to utilize the trickle down theory as stimulus. It’s contradictory! If trickle down is good for creating jobs and prosperity, trickle down has to be good enough for saving the jobs and prosperity built from the top down. He doesn’t get it! Not the idea and not my vote.
Vote for Andrew Rice. He represents the best of Oklahoma values.
