Coburn calls legislators "Those Crapheads in OKC"
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Oklahoma Democrats want Republican Tom Coburn to apologize for comments he made at a town hall meeting in Altus last month.

Democratic Party Chairman Jay Parmley said Thursday Coburn should be held accountable for saying - quote - ``crapheads in Oklahoma City,'' are the reason companies don't want to invest in Oklahoma.

Coburn is running against Democrat Brad Carson for Oklahoma's open US senate and made the remarks while taking questions from voters in Altus.

A Democratic supporter caught the remarks on tape.

Coburn spokesman Aaron Cooper says Coburn was referring to the state Legislature and its failure to address lawsuit abuse or worker compensation reform.

The Coburn camp says Coburn will continue discussing issues in a frank and candid way.

1. So what do the latest polls say about this race? Is this
likely to be a pick-up for the dems?

2. Polls are opposite
Carson internal polls show him ahead 44 to 42.

Everyone else has Corburn ahead by 2 to 7 points.

3. This guy is absolutely vile!
Performed abortions, then demands death penalty for doctors who perform them.

Also sterilized a 20 year-old girl against her will and tried to scam Medicare into covering it. He now rails against Medicare fraud.

4. Craphead tape also shows
that he said that Cherokee's were not real Indians, and that the treaties were bogus. Bad for Corburn in this state!

The audio of the tape will be ( or has been already) published on:
www.cherokee.org
