Except that this guy was AGAINST the bail out and has always been pretty fiscally conservative. McConnell wants a yes man

Bunning? He’s pretty good. It’s the new primary front runner, KY secretary of state Trey Grayson, who used to be a Dem and was a delegate for Clinton at the DNC, who’s a RINO.

I see, so you only support constitutionally imposed Term Limits for those who you oppose?

Bunning has been a positive force over the course of his career, but let’s face it. Like Dick Lugar, he has shown his age and found himself out in the weeds trying to do damage control because of it. It’s time for both to retire...

He has been in the Senate for more than 20 years and that is too long.

And we have no idea of who is going to be the nominee instead. More initial comment was more of a warning —careful what you wish for you just might get it

Bunning—A lifetime ACU rating of 94.47, one of the most conservative senators in Congress. He will be missed.

He is definitely NOT a RINO. He may be replaced by one or even a Democrat.
