The Time for Corruption is Over
Those Democrats who today are taking legislative bribes from Nancy Pelosi to pass the Obamacare bill should probably remember that the Senate gets a say about whether those bribes get paid out.
And Tom Coburn isn’t in much of a mood to make good on Nancy Pelosi’s vain promises.
Just in case there are any Democratic Representatives too busy to click on a video, here’s the transcript.
SEN. TOM COBURN (R), OKLAHOMA: I want to send a couple of messages to my colleagues in the House.
If you voted no and you vote yes, and you lose your election, and you think any nomination to a federal position isn’t going to be held in the Senate, I’ve got news for you. It’s going to be held.
Number two is, if you get a deal, a parochial deal for you or your district, I’ve already instructed my staff and the staff of seven other senators that we will look at every appropriations bill, at every level, at every instance, and we will outline it by district, and we will associate that with the buying of your vote. So, if you think you can cut a deal now, and it not come out until after the election, I want to tell you that isn’t going to happen. And be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House.
The time for corruption is over, folks. The time for accountability starts right now.
