Opinion of Tom Coburn

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

As socially conservative as they come, but more principled than 99% of Congress. Your verdict?

[ElectionsGuy]

FF, social conservatism doesn't matter when he's Tom Coburn

[Mr. Illini]

Voted FF. Not a fan of most of his politics but I respect his principles and his resistance to both the Tea Party and the GOP establishment. He's truly his own politician.

[windjammer]

Terrible, I don't understand the love for someone who is deeply homophobe and has a disgusting ideology;

[Maxwell]

I was happy to be represented by him, and will be sad when either James Lankford or T.W. Shannon take his place. Neither of this men are bright enough or principled enough to deserve his seat.

I would prefer they primary Inhofe

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Tied with Rand Paul as my favorite Senator. I wished he would have ran for President, and if Obama wasn't President, I think he would have. He is a close personal friend of Obama, from what I've heard.

The results of this poll are really terrible for a forum full of leftist-libertarians.

You know, most people judge others on their personality, not their politics. That is why so many libertarians and right-wingers will give Bernie Sanders a FF rating despite his politics.

[SWE]

One of the worst

[Oakvale]

FF, it's a shame he's retiring.

[Mechaman]

Ugh HP.

I mean yeah, he is a "principled man" and probably a fraction as bad as his fellow Okie in the Senate, but he's still pretty horrible.

[Phony Moderate]

You know, most people judge others on their personality, not their politics.

Yes, which is one of the reasons for the current mess.

[morgieb]

Definitely lean HP, but I do have respect for the man, which is more than what I can say for 90% of his party.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

He's a smart man on paper, but then why does he say so many stupid things?

[Maxwell]

I won't defend his sayings, but he was pretty prone to running his mouth.

That social security and abortion comment was pretty awful.

[Miles]

Eh, neutral. I don't like his policies, but he's more principled/genuine than most anyone else.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

He's a smart man on paper, but then why does he say so many stupid things?

Disappointed in a lot of what I read there. Not because of any of his positions in general, but in his reasoning behind them and whatnot. I thought he was more intelligent. His comment on abortion being connected to the gay agenda is one of the most absurd things I've ever read.

[MATTROSE94]

Voted FF. Not a fan of most of his politics but I respect his principles and his resistance to both the Tea Party and the GOP establishment. He's truly his own politician.

Pretty much this^

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

One of my favourite Senators, along with the three in my signature.

[BaconBacon96]

FF.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Reactionary scum.

[Mr. Illini]

He's also good at ripping on Fox News.

You're not completely wrong, but I believe this is even worse that you can even think. People like politicians because it's trendy... Coburn is trendy (politically), so many people like him, even if he's really, like Snowstalker said, TERRIBLE.

That was basically the same thing with Christie, he was trendy so many people liked him on this forum, but they started to dislike him when he wasn't trendy anymore.
