1. TOM COBURN – “To our seniors, I have a message for you: you’re going to die sooner,” if the health care bill passes, Sen. Tom Coburn (R- Okla.) said on the floor of the Senate in December. This ridiculous nonsense just adds to the long list for Tom Coburn:  his membership in the religious cult THE FAMILY;  his advisement of John Ensign; his vote with the other Republican rape nuts to allow corporations and not a court of law to rule on gang rapes; his “prayer” in the Senate “What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight,” he said. “That’s what they ought to pray.” At the time it was questionable if 92 year old Robert Byrd who was at home sick would be able to make it to the Senate to vote for a bill that Coburn objected to.

2. Rep. Paul Broun (R- Ga.) took the floor of the House of Representatives Thursday to say: “If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that’s in people’s pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the war between the states — the Great War of Yankee Aggression.”

Mr. Broun calls Nancy Pelosi “a domestic enemy of the Constitution” and yet Mr. Broun has introduced a bill into the House of Representatives that would make 2010 THE YEAR OF THE BIBLE.Judging from the content of our Constitution, it would appear that Mr. Broun, like George Bush who said that our Constitution was no more than a gd piece of paper,  is the  true enemy of the Constitution. Separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America:  “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . .”

3.Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on a local radio program last week of the Democrats’ final push for the health care bill.  I don’t think that it is the Democrats who are making the “suicide run”.  I think the Suicide Run was already made by the Republican Senators who chose corporations over rape victims a few months ago.  If Senator Graham thinks that is not going play and play and play again, he is a fool.

4.Orrin Hatch R- Utah “It is going to be outright war and it should be, because it would be such an abuse of the reconciliation rules,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R- Utah) said in January. “If they abuse those rules it is going to lead to even more heated animosities between not just the two parties, but even between individual senators.”  Of course it just happens to slip Senator Hatch’s mind that since 1981, reconciliation has been used 21 times—the vast majority of those reconciliation efforts have been by Republicans.  But then that doesn’t fit into the double-standard world of Orrin Hatch.

5. Chuck Grassley - The people of Iowa may “pull the plug” on Grassley in November for lying to them about death panels.  Here is one Iowan’s opinion of the liar:
