Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) is mulling over a bid for the Republican presidential nomination. And why not? It’s not like the GOP field is overcrowded with aging white guys…
“He’s all about faith, lower taxes, and staying the course in Iraq,” says an adviser outside of the Senate who has been speaking to Coburn.
Doesn’t Coburn’s “adviser” know that “staying the course” is now an inoperative phrase?
Here’s more on Coburn, again via Paddy at Cliff Schecter’s blog.
In 1997, Coburn introduced a bill called the HIV Prevention Act of 1997, which would have amended the Social Security Act. The bill would have mandated HIV testing in some situations, would have allowed physicians to demand an HIV test before providing medical care, and would have allowed insurance companies to demand an HIV test as a condition of issuing health insurance.[2] [...]
Coburn said that he favored the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions[2] and that homosexuality was the biggest threat to America.
Sounds like he’d fit right in.
