The minority leader
Reason, Nov, 2007 by Larry Penner
Diogenes' famed search for an honest politician would have ended after reading David Weigel's "The Minority Leader" (July), in which he asks the question, "Is Sen. Tom Coburn an extreme social conservative, a libertarian hero, or both?" I would trade in either of our New York senators, Hillary Clinton or Chuck Schumer, for Coburn any day. Clinton and Schumer have terrible voting records on both economic and civil liberties issues.At least with Coburn, I'll have someone trying to keep Uncle Sam from picking my pocket for more and more money. A glass half full is better than one totally empty.
