  • Look at the arrogance on that elite pig Jew bernanke's face. All these crimes and he just looks like one smug fuck.

  • This is what you get when Jews are in control of the money supply. Ultimate economic ruin, a historical fact.

  • Bunning is right about Greenspan but has no idea why.

  • I am convinced, through the writings of Michael Collins, that we live in a world not of two political parties, but ONE BIG MONEY PARTY. & that except for a few people in the Senate & several dozen in the House of Reps, there is little democracy left. You Sen. Bunning have done your best to stem the tide, but oligarchy is now the law of the land.

  • just wordz. where iz the action? NOTHING will change because they are in cahootz, to hoodwink us. maybe not on the surface but at the end of the day, they work for the same people........and here'z a newsflash, we are not those people.

  • Makes me also not like Princeton...

    End the FED

  • Bernanke is such a weasel. I can't believe he's the most powerful man in America.

  • Go Bunning!!!

  • Thank you for your service Bunning. Now it is time for Rand Paul to take over in grilling Bernanke and the Fed. Rand will be a great successor to the seat, and will hopefully lead way in impeaching Bernanke!

  • You are still a neocon who supports the military industrial complex, but you sure know how to defend economic freedom and call out this slimeball, Bunning.

  • what the heck is this jerk that stopped unemployment saying,is he drunk

  • yo not to be an asshole or anything but is ben a jew?

  • @TheChicahuaAchcauhtl Yes. Ben Shalom Bernanke is a Jew.

  • listen to bernanke's voice quiver, waht a fucking pussy bitch.

  • I love this, Bunning, you will be missed! Rand will be a great person to assume your seat

  • Great interview Senator Bunning. If you retire it will be a grave loss to our Republic. With the '10 election, hopefully we will have a great wave of people on the hill with your ideals and understanding.

    I think you said it best, The FED Bank is the definition of moral hazard.

  • @robertcgage maybe bunning should run against mconnell.

  • Woah that was actually getting awkward! If I was Bernanke I would have just jumped out the nearest window.

  • lol AWESOME, Bunning just ripped bernake a new one all right! it was just beautiful

  • this whole goddamn thing is illegal as hell, who let a bunch of bank robbers come to this country and take over? woodrow wilson worrying about his damn name sold us out to bank robbers of europe a bunch of zionist jewish british bastards who have used our blood, wealth and resources to wage wars of aggression and then fooled us with their media/holey-wood and took over every last institute in usa starting in 1913 until now who have taken over the whole dm world. I say enough is enough.

    Wake Up!

  • Bunning is an American hero. Kentuckians, keep his legacy alive by voting for Rand Paul!

  • AUDIT the FED!!!!!

  • Bravo Mr Bunning! Thank you for supporting a candidate in your retiring that also vows to hold these crooks accountable!

  • Bunning is a baller. Ron Paul is my president.

  • Awesome!!

  • We will miss you Bunning, but Rand Paul will successfully fill your shoes and fight even harder for freedom and sound money. Thank you!!

  • Fuck these central banks. Fuck them all. Each and every one of them. They have ruined our country and they should be hung by their balls. Fuck the FED. There is a video (song) by a guy that is so well done called 'Fuck the FED'.... Check it out.

  • I agree 100% with everything he is saying, but c'mon.... at least practice your speech a couple times before getting up there... it takes away from the message when he stutters and stumbles over his words.

  • @xXToneLocXx Bernanke stumbles and trips all over his words too, especially when sparring with Ron Paul; He can't say more than two words without stuttering. It's pretty funny to watch those bastards squirm. Bernanke gets nervous and Geithner gets pissy and rude, i like watching them get grilled for their incompetence.

  • Wow! Well said Senator Bunning.

  • This senator speaks the truth...very very rare these days.

  • Bernanke responds as if nothing insulting was said to him - says a lot.

    Just another day in Hell's paradise for Benny

    Bunning is an actual human being.

  • @beckweth  Not enough guts or intelligence yet to do the right thing. Maybe we will have enough after the Nov 2 elections. Maybe ...

  • @blx2000 - There is no election Diebold owns the vote - their software is proprietary. Voting is an illusion.

    To save yourself watch - Schaeffer Cox - The Solution. Video is on my page. Or, watch full video at vimeo. com/9968399

  • Fuck you Ben Bernanke, you worthless low life scum sucking fishbreath motherfucker.

  • Wow Bernanke is quivering. Such an accurate and penetrating scolding is well deserved and is long overdue.

  • Bunning has my respect and has integrity bernanke cannot even conceive-that is how crooked bernanke is. A viper through and through as he eats like royalty

  • The 11 people who gave this video a thumbs down need a serious lesson in economics and history. Sen. Bunning is one of the only Senators who can ever say they will leave a "great" legacy in Congress. Not so for Chairman Dodd who will leave with his head down - retiring because he has no shot of re-election... and lucky his "noble" status will keep his ass out of jail. We will sorely miss Bunning's presence in the Senate... it is a good thing he has just endorsed Rand Paul to fill his shoes.

  • Bernanke is like Obama...no conscience.

  • @czubspenx  You are so right! Sociapaths are running our government!

  • yeah... so how do you fix it... give them more power of course... go Obama.

  • no regulation!!!!!! just enforce laws and no bailouts

    Just like a car on the freeway has no engine speed regulation but its the speed laws that keep you regulating the engine speed

  • Jim Bunning endorsed Rand Paul for US Senate yesterday. Thank you Bunning!

  • Paul has about as much chance of becoming the President the United States as I do of becoming the new Czar of Russia.

  • @BoomerNavy70 That is why Amerika, is, where it is.

  • @BoomerNavy70

    Don't be so sure. We might just have our shot at Liberty in this coming election.

  • @BoomerNavy70 They say that about all future Presidents!

  • "You put the printing presses in overdrive to fund government spending and hand out cheap money to your masters on Wall Street." What a great line!

  • To TheJoozie, You have to brain dead. I hope you never become unemployed. How will you pay for your health care then? People like you fail to understand that they could end up in the same situation. I have had to rely on unemployment only once in the last 23 years, Thank God. I've made some good investments and saved, but if I get sick, I may have to spend every dime on my care. I hope you never get sick!

  • They are going to have a Jim Bunning Day down in Kentucky if they can find three or four people to show up for the parade.

    I can see his retirement party now with the little hats and noise makers and the rest of the Republicans in the Senate thanking god that he answered their prayers.

    Bunning has done as much damage to the Republican party as Phil Graham and Sarah Palin. Now theres a trio for you. Imagine those three in same place at same time. It would be the Perfect Storm.

  • @BoomerNavy70 Please . . . . other then voting for the war he's been good. Also, he's supporting Rand Paul who hopefully will be President Paul one day.

  • If this guy were to remain in politics he would be another useless deal maker like Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond.

    To the people in Kentucky: Bunning is not the "Second Coming of Jesus Christ."

    The guy played fucking baseball. So what? There comes a time in your life when you grow up and put your childish thoughts like baseball aside. No one gives a fuck who won the 1960 World Series (It was the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Yankees. Pirates won in the 7th game with a hit by Mazeroski)

  • The problems we have today are a result of laws and bills that were structured, developed, instituted and passed by the Republican Administration going back to Ronald Reagan.

    This is a result of things like Phil Graham pushing through the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act of 1932 which regulated the financial services industry and banking.

    What you are seeing today is a result of paying too much attention to bullshit issues like abortion, gay marriage, flag burning, and Bill Clinton's dick.

  • So what your solution is is to take everyone off the unemployment rolls and do nothing for them?

    Let's just allow everyone to go destitute because of companies that oursourced their production and tossed Americans out on their asses with a weeks severance? Yea, thats a solution?

    What is it with you conservatives? You have no problems with sending billions to foreign countries, watching jobs being offshored, and the middle class being wiped out but get pissed when we help our own people.

  • I'm conservative and I have a HUGE problem with sending money to other countries. I can't figure out how the hell we sent MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIONS of dollars to shit hole Haite when we have vets on the corner with signs asking for money. I wonder what 50 million dollars that the liberal entertainment industry would have done for our vets.

    Do you think that all these people on unemployment worked for some huge company that outsourced?

  • Help is a bridge but that bridge shouldn't be so long that it turns into a welfare program.

    It's easy to sit back and say "give me more benefits" but until you're the one providing them you shouldn't speak on it. I don't get unemployment if I don't work. I don't get paid if I don't work. Why do you deserve more than I do? Not only do I get less than these people but I risk more! Is THAT fair?

    I don't have a problem with not having a net because I'm not a drone waiting for my check.

  • Bunning needs a punch in the face,

  • Bunning needs a round of applause for standing up for the United States of America. This spending will destroy this country within the next few years.

  • And frankly I could care less about his baseball career and how many no hitters he pitched.

    That is exactly the problem we have in this country. You have millions of people in this country who can tell you the stats of every World Series game ever played, but they can not do basic math or tell you where the hell Russia is on a map.

    As Strother Martin said to Paul Newman in that famous line in Cool Hand Look;

    "What we have here is...failure to communicate."

  • Boomer- you are the one that posted the baseball comment.. how shitty he was. I simply stated a fact of his career which I looked up moments before I posted it.

    I do math for a living and I can show you ANY country on a map of the world.

    by the way, the people that can't do math and find russia are the ones that are fed by the state in some fashion because taking care of yourSELF requires more intelligence than that.

  • These people paid into the unemployment system as did their employers. If Jim Bunning is so fucking concerned about the deficit maybe he should have put some reigns on George Bush when the Republicans were crawling up his ass passing every damn expense he wanted.

    This guy represents exactly what brought this country to its knees. Hypocritical comments made under circumstances which he himself helped to create.

    This is one of the guys who put us in this situation in the first place.

  • Boomer- you pay UI out of your check. The employer pays when you collect. The state pays the remainder. The employee pays a fraction in compared to what comes out. To extend it makes the percentage paid in by the one using it even less!

    The economy started taking a nose dive when the democrats took control of congress the last 2 years of Bush admin. Dems in control for 3 years now... congress had less approval % than BUSH! Democrat majority.

  • where there are people in our own country starving and cant afford healthcare than the "rich people" need to give more. it doesent matter how much they give if they keep to much. I have worked hard my whole life. har labour jobs. and iam still poor. there is just not enough to go around man. and i make more than most.

  • screw the issues, people dont have work b/c of the big bankers that recived TARP. poor people need money to live dude. screw your opnions on what its good or bad for. people are hungry and cold. let me guess, you still have a job? i agree with 100% of what he said here.the problem is, the people could have gotten that money to pay off there loans and the money STILL would have ended up with the banks. but now they get TARP and the houses. fuck them burn the houses down.

  • zoo- people don't have work because the ingenuity in this country has been punished.

    What kind of job are you looking for? Can you sell something? Or do you think no one is buying?

    you can't blame "the rich" for the woes of the country. The "rich" pay the majority of the taxes and "entitlements" that we hand out.

  • @TheJoozie wow thats really what you think? its sad b/c as long as the people do not get pissed off at these people, they will continue to do it. pleqase please for the love of all that is still good. watch the documentary "The Warning" or "10 rillion and counting" or "Inside the meltdown" please do not support the people that steal from us every day. He even mentions brooksley born in this video. do yourself a favor and look her up as well.

  • the only people that steal from me is the govt. big businesses don't steal anything from me, if they get my money they get it from me buying something OR they get it from the govt that stole it from me in the first place.

    And Bunning isn't one that's stealing from me at this point in time.

  • @TheJoozie your wrong bro look up the federal reserve. its a priviate industry that loans money to our government which we pay back with intrest with tax dollars. you should stop talking now if you dont know what your talking about. you giving people false information. please look things up b4 you speak.

  • @TheJoozie ... Big business make money in allot more ways than when you purchase goods from them. Stolen pensions, lobbying against labor rights,denying healthcare, and this list could go on and on. Big business are the ones that lobbied out congress. Indeed they are the ones stealing from you. They just buy enough politicians to do it.

  • @crazypaul34... Small business employs 70% of the country. The employer pays the majority of unemployment. The dollar amount that you put into UI is miniscule compared to what you receive and how much the company ends up paying.

    I have to argue that if you had your pension "stolen" you should have taken care of your OWN investments and retirement. health care is not a right, it's a responsibility.

    No one can steal my pension because I am in control of my own destiny. No business can

  • deny me health care. Businesses aren't stealing anything from ME. Congress and jackasses like Geithner and Bernake don't have to roll over for a lobbiest. I can certainly understand a business lobbying for laws that are beneficial to them because they too are citizens and the harder you make it on them, the less people they can employ.

    I have a friend getting ready to leave his union because he is punished for working! HIs package amounts to almost $65 an hour yet....

  • he takes home roughly $1000 a week. And HE pays his own health care of $1000 a month which he has no options on because it's what the union negotiated. He is leaving so that he can be in control of his own destiny and it's a brave move when you've been "taken care of" for so long.

  • Bunning is doing a good job slamming bernanke

  • He was a lousy fucking baseball player and he is a lousy fucking Senator.

  • yeah Boomer! lousy baseball player! I bet you were at bat against him once upon a time... he did pitch 2 no hitters in his career and there are plenty of pitchers that have not.

  • Bunning is opposed to the Federal Reserve, isn't that something. Ron Paul is also against the Fed. Here's a fact. It is a fact that the person running the Fed from 2000-2008 was not Alan Greenspan, it was his personal friend, the actual President, Dick Cheney. IT IS THE JOB OF THE FED CHAIRMAN TO TAKE THE HEAT for the policies of the president. That's why Ron Paul will not go after Cheney. He, like everyone else is afraid of Cheney b/c Cheney does not play nice & he never forgets.
  • BUNNING YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HERO!!!!!

  • Republican men are so fucking dumb!

  • okay america... go buy your beer and lottery tickets. paid for by the hard working and self employed that can't even collect if they tried.

  • Can Jim Bunning possibly be a bigger turd than he is?

  • @buppie2000

    No, no one one earth could be a bigger human piece of "hidey hi" turd than Charlie Rangel. If you or I did the tax evasion things Rangel has, we would be in a Federal prison sitting next to Bernie Maddoff. So look you piece of shit, go blow it out ur ass.

  • You have no understanding of the issues. That is why you use slander and derogatory comments. Jim Bunning is one of a few good senators left in Washington. He knows the government should not be paying people to be unemployed. The government has no money, and it is only destroying jobs.

  • Thank you Senator Bunning for being one of our few, if not the only senator against Ben Bernanke and his fed. You are one of America's greatest patriots, and you are the one who is keeping the republican party alive. Kudos Senator Bunning for giving hope to your supporters! Keep up the good work!

  • Ever notice that Bunning never takes a sideways glance as the more than 1/2 a trillion dollar pork-laden defense bills that get drilled through every year? And yet suddenly he is so upset at something less than 2% in magnitude? Anyone else call bullshit?

  • Jim Bunning pussy coward prick

  • Comment removed

  • The perfect republican-loves screwing the american people

    Still plan on giving them your votes in November?

  • absolutely pig slop, all you clowns do is blow money on your worthless niggers.

  • Sorry, but there are not enough worthless niggers to blame this mess on. This is the work of fine upstanding white folks, both Republicans and Democrats. You could blame Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Reagan, or the good white folks in Congress, but then you'd have to give up the nigger talk. I'm sure that would take all the fun out of saying anything.

  • Comment removed

  • @OBAMASTINKSLIKEANAPE You're a brainless coward.

  • Free Money does not exist.

  • dont tell me, tell all those angry people who are voting in November

  • Comment removed

  • what a piece of shit...

  • He is a swine. He should have stayed in baseball. I dislike this vile man.

  • and we dislike liberals and we are waiting to get rid of you traitors once and for all.

  • why rockhead because he wont give you your easy candy. Too bad.

  • Jim Bunning is probably the best example of a Republican in the country.

    He is a heartless prick and one of the most imcompetent elected officials in the country. Considering he comes from a state that considers interfamily marriage a normal thing I can understand that.

    He is the greatest example of people with the greatest lack of compassion for his fellow man.

    I am sure he can quote from the bible and give us all that southern christian rhetoric bullshit when necessary.

  • too bad navy candyass, he won't dole out money you aint got.

  • its never called spending when Republicans want their way with our money ie; unecessary military spending

    I call that forcing on the people

  • finally we find a bigger horses ass GOP mother fucker than even dick cheney LOL

  • BUNNING IS AN AMERICAN HERO!

  • @quickboat22 I hope this guy dies very very soon. Plus I hope his family gets into a car crash as well.

  • Nice, I'm sure he loves you too.

  • that being said Bernanke is a crook of the highest level. Him geithner paulson should all be arrested

  • This guy has always been a KING size ASSHOLE

  • Kentucky: Nine million people, 11 different last names.

  • Thats West Virginia, Kentucky has at least a dozen last names!

  • You know I get so sick and tired of people trying to blame this administration for everything wrong with the economy.

    I agree T.A.R.P was a horrible idea and Wall Street should have suffered the consequences of it's criminal behavior.

    However, where was this protest during the Bush administration when he plunged us into two very costly wars and turned a blind eye to corp corruption.

    Both parties SUCK!! and they are owned by AmeriCorp.

    We live in a fascist society wake up people.

  • Is he drunk so early in the day already? He can hardly read. So sad...

  • Bunning way to stand up to these back benchers.

  • He voted against paygo, but in favor of millions of dollars borrowed for the war in Iraq and for the billions of dollars ot the tax cuts for the rich people with Bush.

    Now he wants to apply paygo in an emergency situation when millions of "non rich" people loose their jobs and they lost homes, they cannot pay rents, buy food or health insurance.

    This guy is worse than ienas, worse than jackals, worse than rats, worse than locusts, worse than roaches.

  • maybe all that money congress has wasted on the banks and entitlemenets could have gone towards this the economy is not important to this administration, the more they have the citizens under the gvmt programs the more power they have over us just look what decades of reliance of entitlemanets the black population as a whole. its easier to get money for nothing than to struggle a little and work for it, i lived it in my time in newark and saw how it has been abused

  • my family live in Kentucky and voted for Bunning, but they are pissed at this retard!!!!! they will vote for Dem or not vote at all... hey bunning did you receive your check this month... u r lazy just like mitch.. no nothing mitch...lol

  • Bunning is 100% correct... Bernanke is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO ALL AMERICA

  • I'd smack this guy so hard!

  • You should think him for standing up to many stupid policy (he was wrong on Iraq) by Bush and Obama. His lone mistake was Iraq, but other the that, he's been great.

  • @ZDWmiamicane yeah, It's GREAT to cut COBRA subsidies and emergency unemployment benefits. It'll be so GREAT for the economy to financially ruin the hardworking people of America. And before you jump to your Kool-aid conclusions, I am NOT a democrat or a liberal. I've worked full time since I was 17 years old, even while going to school and sometimes i worked 2 jobs. I don't like asking for a bail out. But people like me deserve it more than those greedy, corrupt companies that got theirs!

  • You are telling me that in a 3 trillion dollar budget we cannot cut some useless crap to pay for this extension? STOP THE BORROWING!

  • Should have spoke up 8 years ago

  • Thank you Senator Bunning. These lazy leechers need to get a job and stop living off the government for a change.

  • Screw you republitard! These people were laid off you idiot!

  • @libsaregoingdown .Libs ARE going down... on yr mom.

  • What this asholes phone number?

  • @padude64 202.224.4343 ask for Senator Bunning's office.

  • I tried calling but the assholes mailbox is full.

  • @iburl I will try tomorrow, but I can see him just clearing his mailbox. He probably has 500 saved messages. That will simply be deleted.

  • The same as your mothers, faggot

  • Resign now you prick!

  • You arrogant bastard!

  • Cunning Cunting?

  • Jim Bunning simply put is a "piece of shit"...send his sorry Kentucky ass down to Tennessee and we'll give him a good old "Tennessee wood shed ass whipping"...idiots like him is one of the many reasons we are so fucked up as a nation.........time to put his old senile ass out to pasture with his golden parachute pension...'nuff said!!!!!!

  • What's wrong with America is we have these programs to begin with man. J

  • As always, after the conservatives decimate the economy (in this case, after 8 years of massive government expansion, recreational wars of choice, and billions in welfare for the top 1%), they suddenly are EXTREMELY WORRIED about "the national debt"

    How many times over the years that Bush pissed away a BILLION A WEEK IN IRAQ did Bunning "worry about the national debt"??!

    As always, these clowns refuse to talk about where cutting should begin - with our ridiuclously over-funded miltary!

  • Gee whiz, look what the big, fat, rich ex-baseball star does when he has a big chance to make it as a first-stringer in the remake of Dickens' Bleak House(that's a book, sir. Read one sometime) You are the biggest fattest greediest and sickest muthafucka, and I think you actually enjoy the chance to screw the least fortunate. You'll be a long time in a very hot, dark place thinking about what a sick asshole you became. You're one sick f**k

  • @jbwhite2007

    What are you, 12. We're fucking broke. The only way we could pay for anything would be to monetize the debt. If you want that, maybe you should have seen Argentina in the late 90s.

    You have no idea how fucked the currency is, why don't you research before you react like a jack ass. At least he's against the corporate welfare.

  • Well, I didn't see Mr. Bunning ever attempt to cut defenses' trillions. If you divide my age by your moral IQ, well ... you can't divide any integer by zero, can you? I'm old enough to have seen what Republicans do to budget surpluses the minute they get elected. It quickly becomes a huge deficit as they start the tax-break, pharma, health insurance, defense and Wall Street giveaways. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter anymore if one is REp. or Dem. Wall Street and Goldman Sachs owns them all.

  • 859-441-5895-

    Call good ole Jim Bunning at his home and let him know what you think of his recent actions.

  • Most likely congress will retroactively cover those that Bunning wishes to suffer, so all he did was add more to the deficit, piss hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers off, and kill any possibility for the Republican'ts to gain a majority in the near future, thanks Bunning!

  • what's funny is he is bitching about paying for the EUC but why are they worried about paying for shit now when after 8 years the rebulicans went fucking ape shit throwing every thing Clinton had saved up.

    we went from one of the biggest surplusses in us history to one of the biggest debts in only 8 years to terrible policy by the bush admin.  but now out of nowhere, they are all about cutting the budget deficit?

    I say they take this dick out of the baseball hall of fame.

  • To the other venkman,

    I have been unemployed for almost two months now. Every day I apply to jobs, drop off my application, etc. Sure we can take a job at mcdonalds, give up our homes, sell our cars, cancel the family vacations. That's what this Kentucky dirt bag wants, to keep the majority of America over a barrel. I won't let him take away the money I have saved through taxes to support me and fellow Americans.

  • Senator Benning you are a heartless piece of shit for not voting to extend UE benefits to millions of Americans! One word for you sir, "ASSHOLE!!!"

  • sub prime mortages are crap they have never existed. regulation is bullshit its regulation that caused. "consumer protection" is crap. Greenspan told them ordered them in conjuction with the CRA and inflationary scheme of FHA/Freddie/Fannie they did not need to be "regulated. There was no "regulation" that could "protect" us.

  • You're right, when Wall Street and GS have bought the whole US Executive and Legislative branches, I wouldn't hold out much hope for any worthwhile regulation. Take back all the bank charters, survive the ensuing depression, and get the sick forkin banksters into prison.

  • greatest senator in modern times

  • OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR BUNNING

    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.

  • damn this dumb fuck can't read for shit!

  • Mr. Bunning just denied hundred and thousands of unemployed American workers their benefits. I higky suggest letting this pile of trash how you feel.

  • @MultiSnapDragon

    Yeah right, because people need unemployment benefits for over 90 weeks.

  • asshole!

  • AIG's lost another $8.9 billion last quarter!!! but of course bonuses were paid out! UNREAL!!

  • someone doesn't like Ben..

    but you have to ask yourself, what action could Ben take that would enrage _you_?

    If Ben credited the gov't with 80 trillion dollars tomorrow, would that be a problem for you? Or would it be a problem if he deposited $10,000 into all savings accounts that contained less than $2,000 (~helping out the poor~)? What if he deposited $10,000 into _all_ savings accounts?

    If you never knew how much money he was crediting and to whom... would that be a problem?

  • One word describes Mr. Bunning: Idiot! He is an embarrassment to members of his own party. Because of his low approval rating, he can't raise runds for his re-election campaign and has decided not to run again. His actions are typical of the republican resolve to shutdown the government in favor of their influential political base. The Dems must forge ahead with or without them to get our economy moving again and lose the excess baggage. Maybe Mr. Bunning should go back to playing baseball!

  • Comment removed

  • It's a shame to call you a fellow Kentuckian, Jimmy. You are a heartless man. With your age, you would think you'll have more compassion for mankind. But NOPE! You rather let millions of people become homeless to serve your own agenda by letting unemployment laspe. I guess you think by being "tough" that the Republican party will nominate you as a front runner. WRONG! You'll never get my vote Jimmy. Pack up, you're one step away from retirement.

  • February 28th unemployment deadline comes and this idiot is the one the blocks it from passing stopping unemployment checks for over one million people. Typical republican

  • Yeah, it's funny how they always worry about the defecit when it comes to helping the common folk out but I bet he wasn't bitching about it when it came to bailing out his Wall Street buddies.

  • Again this embarassment puts his foot in his mouth again. Why doesn't he just retire now and help KY.

    He recently was at a basketball game(girls high school) and repeatedly screamed at the refs. At end of game he fingered the refs!! What a great example of mediocrity PLEASE GO!! You also need to practice reading!!

  • Comment removed

  • AUDIT THE FED!

  • RAND PAUL FOR SENATE IN KY

  • Rand Paul for Senate 2010-KY

    Peter Schiff for Senate 2010-CT

    Support HR 1207

    Support S 604

    No reappointment for Bernanke

    End the Fed!!!

  • 9:50 mark in video...what's up with bank's taking hair cuts?? LOL. Good thing he's about to retire, his reading comprehension is starting to go downhill. But all joking aside, it's good to see other Congressman grilling Bernanke besides Ron Paul. The most powerfull man in the world needs some critique while he runs roughshod over our economy.

  • He's almost 80, I'll be lucky to live that long, much less speak as good as I do now. Senator Bunning, Ron Paul, and Bernie Sanders are all doing a good job on this criminal organization we call The Fed. I hope Rand Paul, Dr. Paul's son, takes Bunning's seat.

  • Comment removed

  • Has anyone else studied the French revolution ?

  • Really, what courage! The "payout at par" action was/is semi- (or wholly) criminal. Senator Bunning calls him out on this great outrage. I commend him.

  • A courageous oration.

    I have cynically believed that nearly none of Congress acts from genuine motivation (obviously excluding Dr. Ron Paul). Maybe there's hope. I hope this is genuine, and not populist posturing. I simply don't know Senator Bunning well enough yet to conclude.

  • Na, Jim is a good guy. Hell, even Mitch "Bailout" McConnell doesn't even like him; and they're both republicans. Bunning hates the banks as any other freedom loving American. Again, his real problem was that he did not get along with the big government established Republicans.

  • Like usual, Sen. Bunning has been like a voice crying out the truth in the Wilderness all these years. I only wish some of our very popular conservative radio/TV personalities would realize this before the blather on that no one from the Republican party has been speaking out. That`s as un-true as the obvious Democrat lies. We have an old saying in America : A little knowledge is a bad thing !!

  • respect

  • did you know? judanism = religion of inbreeding, or incest to keep money and power all the family. That is exactly abraham taught his children to do for any prices.

  • Since Bunning is not running for re-election Superfreyk can only be supporting Bernake.
