I think that the Tea Parties are starting to get inside their heads. They are starting to see the writing on the wall, and Bunning has put them between a rock and a hard place. It’s a losing proposition. Vote against the bill, and your own constituents lose their unemployment checks. Vote for the bill, and you will hear about it in every “reckless spending” campaign ad this fall. It’s a lose-lose proposition, The only way out is to pass it by unanimous consent — anonymously and with no paper trail. Bunning is preventing that.

What we are starting to see are the death throes of the 111th Congress. They are all lame ducks and so is Obama. You can smell the fear. They are behaving erratically. I would not be surprised if Congress effectively disintegrates and becomes non-operational between now and November.

This fall will be the political season of a lifetime. Just like the last one. Sigh.

It’s the cowardly Dims that are holding up your welfare check, not the Eeeeeeviiiiil Republicans.

I don’t suppose you’ll have the stones to come back and argue your point. Hmmmm?

brain-dead troll.

I’m guessing that this one won’t even last long enough for us to play with him.

Here we are in this post NAFTA economy with MOST people trying to find jobs of which there aren’t that many, holding Unemployment compensation which Millions of Americns need. Here is Sen Bunning making $180,000 a year, his pension set that continues for life at his present salary, who does not understand nor care about people struggling to save their homes and put food on the table. The Republicans should tell him that his actions are going to have the Democrats salivating over the public perception of the Republicans being the party of the rich. Sen Bunning could derail the GOP in retaking congress in November. Lastly, I am now a Republican because of “Cap & Trade” and publicly funded abortions. But when the GOP put tax cut after tax cut after tax cut, they failed to realize that there are programs that need to paid for. The Republican’s didn’t think about that. Get rid of NAFTA and Forced overtime and those jobs will start coming back.

you’d show more respect for a revered Senator and Hall of Famer, a Kentucky Son.
You, Coo Coo are from Randulon, your coach is Prince Randi, and you are on a losing team.

You disrespect the one Senator who holds the Seante to Pay-As-You-Go? You only show your lack of character.

and I thought we had that $40 rebate last year for the switch to digital terrestrial antenna because the poor couldn’t afford it…..It is just that it seems whenever there is any sort of cut…the left is able to trot out some way that it effects the poor….cutting write offs of country club fees as business expenses woudl probably have them crying about all the gardners and caddies who will be hurt.

The guy below is right….cuts mean cuts,a nd we should gladly accept them…not whine and moan about our pet projects….

as he is cited above? Bunning is just trying to make a point about the stupidity of the DEMS passing and signing the PAYGO law again last week or the week before and then turn right around and pass another BILLIONS of dollars in spending without “paying for it with new revenues or cuts in spending”. Think about it really hard and I think you will see the “spiteful lunatic’s strategy”, or maybe not? Thank you.

If we start “dictating” (and saying the poor shouldn’t have satellites is dictating whether you meant that or not) then we’re no better than the other guys.

We need to stick to what the government should and should not do, and stop worrying about what people do with what they have.

Freedom means the freedom to screw up and make really bad decisions too (in the opinion of others). We just need to make sure the government doesn’t make us pay for the bad decisions of others.

And before someone says it, “risk” and “bad decision” are net the same thing.
