Coburn how about actually paying for the bill. If you pass a bill for veterans health that isn't funded you're just pretending to care. Coburn wants the bill to pass but he doesn't want to pretend everything that is noble is free. Good for him. Maybe he is being a hypocrite but who cares, it doesn't excuse the fact that everyone that supports it w/o funding it is also a phony. <br><br>I'd be a lot more impressed by Maddow's argument if he had funded the usual crap w/o it being funded, but if the only thing he has ever voted for that wasn't funded is a war, which was the wrong decision and is hugely expensive, it's a weaker argument. I think it's fair to say voting for a war is a bit unique to the usual spending bill. Again that's not to say veterans aren't important but since we know that they are - fund the bill!

How on God's green earth can you justify THIS?! Are you one of those that sport a "Support Our Troops", "American Flag", "God Bless The USA" magnetic sign or yard sign like every other car and house in Oklahoma?! Do you proceed to then attack your neighbor for not worshipping in the same church as yours and vote in your political leaders according to 'faith'?! Do you also agree with the idiotic, intrusive and painful notion of displaying a woman's decision to end a pregnancy by posting it for the world to see?!! Do you believe that broad scale, half hazard, don't give a shit about anybody else, broad scale chemical crop dusting is okay even when it kills a persons garden, fruit trees, pets, livestock, contaminates water sources and in some cases destroys their LIVELIHOOD okay?!
