Coburn warns House Dems against "selling" their votes


Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) put the Obama administration on alert that he will block future nominations of any member of Congress that switches their vote from "no" to "yes."

A member who flips their health reform vote and is later nominated to a new post demonstrates that the lawmaker "sold their vote for a nomination," Coburn said.

"Be prepared to defend selling your vote in the House," he said at a news conference with other GOP doctors.
