@ onebilly Don't worry he is not running again, he has already said he is done. He has no support in Kentucky, he has worn out his welcome with the most conservative republicans around here.
Who the hell does this old fart think he is, somebody check his hearing aid batteries, doesn't he know the GOP is dead. People need help now, not 5 or 10 years from now when we might be able to pay for it. Just because President Obama, passed some law called "Paygo", about congress not spending more money unless we can pay for it, that doesn't mean people should suffer, or does it?
This is merely a dress rehearsal of what's to come from Republicans. That 2008 election sent them completely over the cliff, and there's no level to which they won't stoop to obstruct and further destroy this country. We can look forward to all kinds of despicable shit ALL YEAR LONG. Don't be surprised if there's a brawl on the Senate floor and one of them throws a pile of shit at Harry Reid next.
lol. this whole gov't is full of shit..both parties are shit...both are for endless wars and endless spending...Obama & Bush are nearly identical, regardless of what the morons like Hannity, Limbaugh, Olbermann, & Maddow try to make you think. both parties are for endless wars for Israel and endless spending for big gov't...Obama was anti-war? bullshit. he hasn't even come close to ending any wars, he wants new sanctions on Iran, which is an act of war, so that Israel feels safe...RON PAUL 2012.
i totally agree mason. there is no such thing as "fiscal sanity" because your cause may be crap to someone else. like republicans spending money on blocking abortion think its worth our money when the democrats think it aint worth jack shit to ban abortions
There is something of an irony here. During the years of the Republican domination of Congress, Jim Bunning stood almost alone in his opposition to their out of control spending, for he warned that something akin to this could happen. Now, the very situation he warned would happen has come to fruition. Now, that he's fighting for fiscal sanity, he's being demonized.
Listen here you Nazi-hick- The vote was 99-1? What is 'out of control' is this recession, downsizing and lost jobs to Tin-buck-too. We're not living in the 1950's anymore. You old worn out, wombats need to get out of traditional thinking and wake up. There will always be 'out of control' spending. its called POLITICS! There will be no 'fiscal sanity' as long as lunatics like him are in office. Every dollar on unemployment goes RIGHT back into the economy. Get your head out of your ass

God bless Jim Bunning; he is showing the backbone to do what must be done. Contrary to what is being protrayed, Jim Bunning is not stopping the extension of unemployment benefits; no, he's simply maintaining that the money should come out of the unspent stimulus money that has already been appropriated, yet, remains unspent.
You're an idiot. Because of this crackpot's desire to holdup families in crisis, many more will siffer. His own Republican people have left his side which speaks volumes in itself. And yes, he does desire to pass this extension, but with the deadline tomorrow, he has in-turn shut down thousands of families across the very nation he works for. Someone should run this fuckbag over, no wonder he has made so many enemies
Unfortunately, the idiot is yourself. Jim Bunning was almost alone in his opposition to George W. Bush's out of control spending. It wasn't Bunning who got us here. Read Machiavelli's "The Prince."
I am writing to ask you to reconsider the stoppage of the unemployment insurance extension. Both my son and I are unemployed, he since August and I since April 2009. Even though I have been struggling, I have managed to help my son and his family (wife and 5 yr old daughter) with their Cobra payments ($600 / month), while we both look for work. My son is diabetic and on an insulin pump, and it would be a disaster if he lost his medical insurance.
Bunning used to play baseball for the Detroit Tigers, yet he's turning his back on the state of Michigan.
Perhaps Bunning thinks Michigan folks are lazy and shiftless and don't deserve unemployment extensions. Fact is, jobs just aren't out there(except for $7-$8 Wal-Mart and Target positions, which won't pay the bills).
Or maybe Bunning feels state governments, like Michigan's, are poorly run, thus he doesn't think unemployment benefits should come out of the federal governments money.
Please anyone who thinks unemployment should not be extended I dare you to come find me a job. I have a college degree, i know microsoft soft ware, and I am ready and willing to work. Come on staffpro and Bunning From Kentucky find me a JOB. DARE YOU!
@grahamssiteTHERE ARE PLENTY OF JOBS OUT THERE YOU BUM. DRIVE A TRUCK. STOCK SOME SHELVES. SELL SOME CABLE SERVICES DOOR TO DOOR. YOUR LAZY AND SELF ENTITLED WITH YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE AND STUDENT LOAN DEBT.

I am whole heartedly behind improving the living standards of all Americans. But we have to be able to pay for it. Just going farther and farther into debt while China eagerly buys up US debt is not good for us all in the long run. It's like someone buying a $500K house on a $30K salary and then losing their job. At some point the piper has to be paid or they will come calling (foreclosing).

McDonald's, Wendy's, and Arby's are hiring, but you can't support a family working at those places.
GM and Chrysler were stupid for continuing to build big cars, even though the general public was starting to turn away from them.
GM and Chrysler's downfall started in the summer of '08, when gas was over $4 a gallon at many places. Because of that, folks simply stopped buying big cars, which ruined GM and Chrysler.
Give it to Bunning, get the 77 year old out of office. He sucks and he doesnt care about his follow americans.. We are helping Haiti, what about helping extend unemployment benefits?
