A beautiful example of the MSM’s unbiased reporting.
Rep. Bunning demonstrated great courage and sound principle. The state of Kentucky is blessed to have a man of his integrity in office.
Thank goodness Bunning doesn’t get to vote on the emergency war supplemental bills or our military would be without boots and ammo! That particular piece of legislation is never deficit-neutral either....
You did Good Senator. Be the bee in their bonnet.
Looks like some Reps are remembering where they hid the key to the testicle lock box.
Is the MSM now employing the Taliban?
WASHINGTON — Some unemployment benefits could dry up Monday. Newly laid-off workers wouldn't get federal help with health insurance premiums.
Road and transit bills could go unpaid, Medicare payments to doctors would stay high and rural satellite reception could be affected, all thanks to Sen. Jim Bunning's decision to block legislation that would keep alive a host of programs that expire Sunday night.
The Kentucky Republican, according to several sources, told Democratic colleagues "tough s---" Thursday when they tried to get him to change his mind.
I mean, God, what a jerk! Here we are trying to be reasonable on the Democrat aisle, and this a%%clown insists we actually spend money we have.
But what do you expect from a two-bit piece-of-crap tyrant DIRTBAG like BUNNING. I would WRING his NECK if I ever saw him!I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! WHAT A MOTHERF**#&&$(! HE IS HUTLER! HIS MOTHER IS A SAINT BERNARD! F**#& THAT MOTHERF#*&$*&( PIECE OF S*&#( LET'S KILL HIM AUUUGAGGGGAGG AUUAUUUUUHGGGGG!!!!!@!!!1!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!

All he did was deny unanimous consent. The senators will now have to vote on it, instead of just one person asking for unanimous consent and passing bills.
This should be done far more often so that senators go on the record (which they hate to do!)
Unanimous consent is the senate’s way of voting on things quickly and going off to do something else. They should be forced (republican and democrat) to sit there and listen to the endless nonsense that half of them spout and then actually have to say aye or nay.
Just remember everytime subjects like this come up:
Obama and dem Congress have taken care of government employees, with “stimulus.”
In CA LA Mayor Villar recently suggested 15% across the board pay cuts for all employees of Lost Angeles.
I was surprised to hear somebody like him come right out and say it; but it must be hitting government budgets between the eyes.
Private sector=really hurting
Public sector=no pain at all
Fiscal conservative?????? They just didn't throw him enough pork.
If they don’t count the offsets here, they will spend this “free” money someplace else.
I think PAYGO is stupid. But if that is the stupid rule, they should at least follow it. The only thing worse than PAYGO is pretend PAYGO.
