Thanks for the ping. I would rather keep Bunning. He’s dependable, he’s spot on regarding all the bailout mania; saw the economic crisis coming long before anyone and was ridiculed for it. I didn’t care much for Ron Paul, but admittedly know little of Rand Paul. I’ll listen and consider him, but I’m not pleased that Bunning is being treated the way he has been in the least (and that isn’t Paul’s fault; that’s all on Mitch!)
I totally agree about Bunning and his dependability as a strong conservative - unfortunately he really damaged himself in the last race with the teleprompter controversy, saying his opponent resembles one of Saddam’s sons, and now more recently yelling G.D. publicly at a reporter and making comments about what he believes was the impending death of Justice Ginsburg. No one ever said he was a nice guy - in fact he’s quite a jerk - but I do appreciate his stands on the issues and his personality is not why I support him. Unfortunately, that other stuff matters just as much, if not more, in a campaign - it is perception. McConnell can be blamed for some things, but he didn’t make Bunning do those things.
