Senator Coburn Calls For Prayer That Someone Doesn't Make 1 AM Vote!!

My thoughts. I'm not a christian so I won't comment on the use of prayer in particular. One of the beliefs is that workings should never be used to harm, or unfairly manipulate, "...and harm ye none, do as you will.". But Im not a particularly deeply religious pagan so Ill keep it political. It was another good congresional facepalm moment (so i am including the obligitory face palm pic) and it was just plain. I am not inclined to think it had anythng to do with wishung anyone harm as some of the more far ended venues are reading in to this incredible moment of intelectiual brilliance...I think that line of thinking is as obsurde as what he said itelf, but I digress...it was just a dumb thing and a waste of comgresional floor time and my tax dollars, he probably cost me about 3000 bucks just in that moment of stupidity....say something relevent from that floor or shut the fak up.

It's just typical of the Republican dirty tricks to try and bring down the Obama administration. They lost again and old Rush Limbug really rant and raved about it on his radio program today. Doesn't he and his followers remember that Cheney said Iraqi oil would pay for Bush's War? Talk about raising the public debt... they managed to put Our Country into the trillion dollar debt with the War that can't be one.

I really don't have that much concern about Coburn's prayer. Let God's will be done. It is quite biblical to pray against your enemies. The socialist regime of Obama Hussein is a major enemy of the United States, so why not pray that they fail by whatever means God chooses to use.

I want to be outraged and shocked...but I can't. This is all just becoming commonplace. I think I might just be petrified if they did a 180 and actually started to act like grown ups. I need a facepalm emote. Really I do.

Here's what the Senate Reform Bill will do: -- Extend coverage to 31 million Americans, the largest expansion of coverage since the creation of Medicare. -- Ensure that you can choose your own doctor. -- Finally stop insurance companies from denying coverage due to a pre-existing condition. -- Make sure you will never be charged exorbitant premiums on the basis of your age, health, or gender. -- Guarantee you will never lose your coverage just because you get sick or injured. -- Protect you from outrageous out-of-pocket expenditures by establishing lifetime and annual limits. -- Allow young people to stay on their parents' coverage until they're 26 years old. -- Create health insurance exchanges, or "one-stop shops" for individuals purchasing insurance, where insurance companies are forced to compete for new customers. -- Lower premiums for families, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office -- especially for struggling folks who will receive subsidies. -- Help small businesses provide health care coverage to their employees with tax credits and by allowing them to purchase coverage through the exchanges. -- Improve and strengthen Medicare by eliminating waste and fraud (without cutting basic benefits), beginning to close the Medicare Part D donut hole, and extending the life of the Medicare trust fund. -- Create jobs by reining in costs -- fostering competition, reducing waste and inefficiency, and starting to reward doctors and hospitals for quality, not quantity, of care. -- Cut the deficit by over $130 billion in the next 10 years. Why are the Republicans so against these provisions being past... Tell me that!

I think the entity being prayed to would be the arbiter of what is or is not an appropriate use for prayer. My opinion is that this legislation is a huge mistake that will be a burden on future generations, that it is unlawful and dangerous and I would feel no compunction about praying for its defeat. But if we can step down a bit from the hysterical ravings of Durbin, and acknowledge that there was no call to pray for harm to come to another member of the Senate, no fire called upon to rain down from heaven and consume Democrats, no flood summoned, no curses pronounced - then maybe we can admit that tempests in tea pots are stirred to draw attention away from what is really important. Like Reid's little subversion of the law in section 3043 of his amendment.

How is it this is a big deal to you, but blatant bribery, using taxpayer dollars, doesn't bother you in the least? Also, why is it that you feel the need to repeatedly bring up this garbage about Coburn supposedly advising ensign to pay off someone? It's garbage that I'm sure you either read on a blog or watched on MSNBC. Either way it's completely irrelevant to this discussion and the last one where you brought it up.
