Two-Face Coburn

In the Roberts confirmation hearings, Tom Coburn (R-OK), after completing his crossword puzzle, he made a tearful cry for less partisanship and hateful words in the Congress. This is a strange position for Coburn to advocate given his previous statements:

"I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life."

"The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. ... That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda."

It seems like a stretch for someone who makes comments like that to be able to speak sincerely on reducing hateful rhetoric in Congress. He is one of the major bigots today in the Congress and his crying should not convince anyone he has changed his above enumerated positions.
