Senator Coburn’s Warning: “Be Prepared to Defend Selling Your Vote”

March 18, 2010

Senator Coburn warns House Democrats considering switching their vote from “No” to “Yes” that he and his colleagues will find any corrupt deal that they have made before the November election. He also promised to hold any nomination to a federal position that any of these Democrats may get if they lose in November. Video via Hot Air:

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 have got news for you: It is going to be held.

Number two is if you get a deal, a parochial deal for you or your district, I have 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 associated 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.
