Dr. Tom Coburn passed today after a long fight with cancer. Dr. Coburn was a real statesman, patriot and role model for every person alive today. After a successful career as an obstetrician (delivering over 4,000 babies) he spent his remaining years trying to fix our broken political system.

Listen to one of his last interviews, and be inspired by his integrity, honesty and optimism.

Dr. Coburn, in his own words

Dr., you will surely be missed. RIP

He seems like a decent guy.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

I didn't agree with Coburn's climate-change denial, his opposition to same-sex marriage, his opposition to stem cell research, or his interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.

But, I did agree with his stances on the problems inherent to our two-party system, along with his support of congressional term limits.

In any case, rest in peace Dr. No.

Given all that ^^^^^^ I wouldn't have liked him if I did know of him.

Even Pelosi says something decent on occasion. But she is very old and well.........she stutters a lot and is sometimes very incoherent. If you don't see that I really don't know what to say.

It has passed over thine heads like the proverbial sonic boom.
