There are many awful things creeping from the U.S. Senate chambers and it is the mean spirited political tactics and lies against health care reform by Republicans. Their perverse insanity and hatred toward the American people is boundless and this statement by Senator Coburn (R-OK) shows how bad things have become:

"What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can't make the vote tonight," Coburn said Sunday ahead of the vote. "That's what they ought to pray, so that we can actually get ... the middle of America and the middle of the Senate a bill that can run through this country and actually do what we say we all want to do."

Tom Coburn was referring to the elderly and partially incapacitated Robert Byrd a Democratic Senator from West Virginia. He was hoping the elderly man would not make it to the Senate floor to vote on the health care bill and was invoking god to make sure he didn't make it.

What amazing is that Coburn publicly asked god (Jesus) to smite someone who might vote for health care reform. It shows Coburn's lack of firm attachment to reality.

In Coburn's world, Jesus is a partisan Republican. He only likes Republican senators and health insurance companies and doesn't believe people need basic care and attention to keep them healthy. Apparently Jesus has no love for man, it's all about money and power.

Coburn is a born again Southern Baptist Christian and a member of the “C Street House”, a den of Christian iniquity in Washington, D.C. where members are above man's laws. With that connection and as a Deacon in his church he must think he is allowed to ask Jesus to do his bidding in a malevolent way.

In the man-god relationship, man is to be subservient to God and do his bidding. Apparently Coburn didn't get that message or he hasn't read the Bible. Or maybe he has spent too much time at the "C Street House".

Let's pray that Senator Byrd attends Coburn's funeral one day... soon.
