Obviously, this does not mean he has cosponsored many others (probably not), but these types of stupid comments ruin a good answer.
Unfortunately, because Coburn deserves our total scorn for his total idiocy.

(23,973 posts)I fervently hope, with every fiber of my being, for Coburn to stand up in the well of the Senate of The United States before the entire country and say that Sen. Harry Reid was wrong.
Because Coburn has indeed sponsored *one* piece of successful legislation in his career that was passed with bipartisan support.
One.
ONE.
ONE.

Rupublican dingleberries don't call their opponents "assholes" unless they're really frustrated and very pissed off.
And the response from Reid's office will only piss the little twerp off more!!

(9,145 posts)Non-stop filibusters immediately followed McConnell's public statement that his "number one job was to make Obama a one term president". "Coburn did however charge that Reid has "done more damage to the senate than any majority leader."
Yes the babies that they are want to blame Reid and all the democrats for "destroying the Republican Party" that they are actually in the process of doing all by themselves.
Meanwhile, back a the House: "Representative Raúl R. Labrador of Idaho told a Heritage Foundation forum on Wednesday that it would be crazy for House Republicans now to negotiate with the president on immigration, because hes trying to destroy the Republican Party.
There is something very wrong with them.

(20,219 posts)Verbal jousting at this level is the equivalent of fencing duels, as practiced centuries ago... Kind of. In a way...
(Compared to the level of Fux Spews, for example, which is more similar to jr. High school cliques and the petty nastiness and bullying, or some college fraternities and their anti-social power rituals)
