SENATOR TOM COBURN, M.D., ENDORSES MARCO RUBIO FOR U.S. SENATE

Miami, FL


Quote:
"I proudly endorse Marco Rubio for the U.S. Senate and look forward to working with him in Washington," Dr. Coburn said. "His genuine principles and proven record are evidence that he will come to Washington and be a consistent advocate for fiscal responsibility, individual liberty and the traditional values that have made America great."
Quote:

"I have closely studied Florida’s Senate candidates and have no doubt that Marco Rubio is the only fiscal conservative in this race," added Dr. Coburn.

"Rubio would be a faithful guardian of taxpayer dollars in Washington and valued ally in the Senate. At a time when Washington is piling on crippling debt on our economy, the American people need Marco Rubio in Washington to stand up to this reckless behavior and offer clear conservative solutions.

I just can't take Palin seriously. If you think Obama has "handlers" (I do), Palin will have twice as many.

[Ridge]

All Congressmen are guilty of speak like that.

Coburn has shown himself to be a guardian of the people, though.

Washington has more tools in it than a Snap On truck...


I voted for Barr in the last election, even though the Libertarians miss the mark by a bit.

Just one thought: Remember in November: All 435 members of the House and 33 Senators need to justify their continued existence in the government. Those that voted FOR the Health Care debacle, in defiance of their constituent's wishes, need to be made jobless.

exactly. every single one of them need to be voted out of office and sent to an unemployment line.

it is too bad we can't make them go on the health care plan they voted in, and let them live with the welfare mongers that have no desire to do anything but live like leeches.

[Ridge]

They wont be unemployed. They'll be hired to a lobbying firm for several times what they made as congressmen.

[Marlin]

I'll throw this into the mix,, J.C. Watts...

[DOC]

I'm voting Nov. 4th. Tell all your liberal friends to vote the 6th.

[ronaldrwl]

I feel the same way.
I like a lot of Ron Pauls ideas but I don't see him as presidential material.
I am still searching for the true conservative messiah.
I would take palin over both of these guys

+1

Hmmm.
I am voting November 2, 2010.
The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

SCHEDULING ELECTIONS
When are general elections held?
They are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. The 2010 general election will be held on November 2.
Why are general elections held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November?
For much of U.S. history, America was a predominantly agrarian society. Lawmakers considered their convenience when choosing a November date for elections – after harvest time but before winter weather made travel difficult – as the easiest month for farmers and rural workers to go to the polls.
Because many rural residents lived a significant distance from the polls, Tuesday, rather than Monday, was selected to allow those who attended Sunday church services to begin travel after worship and still reach their destinations in time to cast their votes.
Lawmakers wanted to prevent Election Day from falling on the first of November for two reasons. First, November 1 is All Saints Day, a day on which Roman Catholics are obligated to attend Mass. Also, merchants typically balanced the accounts from the preceding month on the first of each month.
