Dr. No has no ethics. He represents only doctors and bible thumpers....

Politics and missionary "work" don't mix.....

Tom Coburn, don't you have enough money not to screw over taxpayers? Not to mention you have an ethical responsibility to FOLLOW THE LAW!

Too long but her argument on subsidized housing was flimsy at best.

So, what you are saying is you have no problem with politicians who receive favors for their commitment to the church state.

I will agree that the lowest rent number comparibles made her presentation a little weak. But the over all point is these government workers got something and failed to report it. They may have broken the law.

My main problem is how they are reporting the income. If the property is deeded to an individual, but considered a church, that is not new, but the property is not functioning as a church so while it may be a non-profit, it should not be under 501c3 and/or church protections if it is functioning solely as a hotel.

She has a really bizarre obsession with Coburn & the C-Streeters. It's along the same lines of the Birthers. Maybe his bad haircut reminds her of her girlfriend.  Maddog is a clown, a well-paid clown at that.

I am impressed the Worldlite printed this:

Coburn violating gift ban, watchdog group alleges
He and seven other lawmakers are accused of paying below-market rent.

"This means C Street Center Inc. effectively is subsidizing senators' housing, a clear violation of the gifts rule."
