I find it hilarious that the democrats complained…that TVs would turn off. All the other things supposedly in this bill, but by God don’t disconnect the poor from MSNBC!!!

Seriously, you get absolutely adequate TV coverage with an antenna…in most metropolitan areas it is somehtign like 15 channels…and for some reason all the PBS channels always have 3-5 sub channels….

But what I also find alarming is how unemployment insurance in the meantime is up to 99 weeks. Jsut as a reference, that is longer than anyone in social democratic Germany can get. unemployment insurance in Gemrany lasts 1 year max, and then you fall into a welfare system whcih depletes all your other income and savings reserves. The only ones coming close to 99 weeks are the category of people over 58 who have had at least 48 months of full employment, whose benefits can extend to 2 years…but otherwise America has officially become more generous to the unemployed than Europeans…..

This man was forced out of the Senate by the likes of McConnell and Bob Bennett. Bunning is a force.

In his baseball days, he’d throw a pitch at a batter’s head to protect his side. He hasn’t changed.

Jim Bunning is a great Senator.

are going to states to pay the salaries of the state and federal government employees. They have kept their jobs while the private sector employees are sh!t out of luck.

Thankfully, here in VA, a RTW state, our new governor is shedding unnecessary government employees, and, has cut school budgets across the state. The teachers are screaming, and, actually are running advertisements about how the children are going to suffer for it. They ignore the fact that some of the schools are underperforming, despite getting more funds each year. It is forcing the school boards to not just add a percent on to last years budget.

“But Bunning was the loan objector.” An intended pun? If so, I like your style. If not, hell, it’s Friday – who cares…

…of Bunning’s…he can be a moron.

But bravo to him for this act.

to go out. Sticking one in Dirty Harry Reid’s eue. I love it.

not Bunning. In a very few years, or sooner, someone may have to try, but it won’t be these two posturing loudmouths.

For everyone who squawked because Beck said reps are the same as dems here is his proof. The reps showed no backbone. Bunning had to go it alone, with only a slight helping hand for Corker. Noone wants to go back to their districts saying I didn’t bring home the bacon .

The idea is a noble one but the money is just not here. If you want it for this project cut it from somewhere else first.

Good for him. McConnell can go jump in a lake any old time.

Oh and by the way:

Thank you, Senator Bunning.

Maybe if it were seen to be more “noble” – that is, one would get more publicity for something like this – more congresscritters would do it…..

I’m proud of my Senator. It’s too bad our other Senator here in Kentucky doesn’t have his backbone.

Great job!

As a youngster in Northern Kentucky, Bunning fell in love with baseball and even then he displayed a competitive spirit and a willingness to work hard. That combination carried him on to a highly successful 17-year career as a Major League Baseball player after his graduation from Xavier University with an Economics degree.

Pitching primarily for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies, Bunning accumulated a record of achievement that eventually won him a seat in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. He was the second pitcher in history (Cy Young was the first) to record 1,000 strikeouts and 100 wins in both the American and National leagues. When he retired in 1971, Bunning was second on the all time strikeout list – second only to Walter Johnson.

than part of the party of everything for everyone out of everyone else’s wallets.

And I think this action undermines the idea that if we had term limits our Congresscritters would stick it to us because they didn’t care. He is leaving and he cares.

I think maybe they all did at one time, until comity and re-election corrupted them.

Proper grammar saves lives.

BHO has provided sufficient ammo for any battle of truth. Use it (rest of the RNC!!)

that promised line by line readings of budget bills?

Let me know when Bunning is up for election I donate to candidates only. Where is Sessions I wonder?

Senator Bunning is retiring at the end of his term. He is retiring with great dignity and honor. I know him. He’s an oustanding man. BigRedOne (as in 1st Armoured?) was correct in his assessmment.

What o to now? Of course, we’ll elect a man with equal integrity, tenacity, character, trust, confidence, honor, dignity, and vision!

Follow Grassroots US Senate Candidate Bill Johnson’s rise in Kentucky www.kentuckybill.com . A Gulf War Navy Nuclear Engineer Veteran with decorated Drug War service, Bill is criss-crossing the Commonwealth in a truck with his famous Election Gazettes, earning his election by meeting & greeting the voters.

Bill will be the first fossil fuel and nuclear engineer expert to enter the Senate. He has 13 years of international business experience including corporate IT securitty systems (GE) and 6 years in charge of purchasing and procurement ($1.2 billion) for BP oil.

Kentucky will make its choice on May 18, the Republican primary. The people will choose either citizen candidate Bill Johnson, McConnell GOP pick and former DEM Clinton delegate, Trey Grayson, or Libertarian Campaign for Liberty founder Ron Paul’s son, Randy.

The people’s choice is clear. Bill Johnson launched his First American Flag Tour in November. He is now polling at a respectable second in 3 of 4 internal polls (not commissioned or paid for by him). His Blogs for Johnson http://blogsforjohnson.blogspot.com/ are effectively reporting on his campaign on the Internet to skirt the media blackout on Johnson and to counter the misinformation and character assasination by the bloggers of the Pauls ‘Campaign for Libertry, the “white” equivilent organization of ACORN.

Johnson is definitive in his message. His campaign is electric. His supporters are dynamic Reagan conservatives who agree with Bill’s slogan:
DUTY-HONOR-COUNTRY !

Only Bill Johnson is prepared and ready to serve Kentucky in the United States Senate with dignity and honor as exemplified by Senator Jim Bunning.

… who is leaving instead of Bunning, but since it is Bunning, he will be welcomed in his home state. He can be certain that the people’s seat he sat in will be capably held by the new Senator for Kentucky, Bill Johnson.

Thank you, Senator Bunning, for standing up for people like me who couldn’t afford a satellite dish if I tried to buy one! I’ll just be content with what I have and thank God for providing.

I earn a little over $1000 a month in disability payments. I pay almost $650 a month for rent and utilities. My car, a 2001 model, has been paid for, thank God. How much money do I have for niceties like dish tv after buying a few groceries and paying my Medicare Part D co-payments?

But I’m enjoying my “poor” life and thanking God for everything He’s given me – including a Senator from Kentucky to stand up for me when my own Senator Cornyn wouldn’t.

As submitted for posting on “Mommy”

As an active participant in national security matters, I will reiterate my personal assessment of Rand Paul’s fitness to serve as a United States Senator. Based upon my knowledge and assessments his character, demeaner, and conduct since last May, I believe Rand Paul is incapable of properly and responsibly serving the best interests of the nation and Kentucky.
I call upon Rand Paul to end his campaign forthwith and with all personal humility.
Failure to responsibly terminate his fatally flawed candidacy will invariably result in two things.
First, the Democrats want the open Senate seat and will spare no quarter in the general election to win it. The Herald-Leader and Courier-Journal will publish every bit of Ron and Rand Paul’s ties to Stormfront, David Duke, Campaign for Liberty, Liberty Tree and Liberty Forest as well as the ammo and fodder he is providing to be used against him daily. It will be a political shark feeding frenzy he will not be able to withstand.
He will lose.
This is why they are building him up as a media “darling” in the primary. They are, by the way, the liberal, progressive media setting up their “darling” for later sacrifice.
Get it? Got it? Good!
Secondly, he will consequently flush in excess of $2 million of others’ money.
Dr. Paul, Kentucky is owed the dignity and respect of an respectable Senate Republican race between honorable candidates Johnson and Grayson.
Your supporters, your staff, and you are solely responsible for tragically conducting an incompetent and self-centered, megalomanic, and delusional campaign.
It’s never been about you, Rand Paul. It’s always been about the Commonwealth and the national interests, the people’s business and the uncertain future of our families.
You chose to make it about you, Rand, all about you. Only about you.
As a result, you have irrevokably breeched the public trust.
That, Rand Paul, is inexcuseable. You have forfitted your opportunity.
At least you’ll have a lucrative job to return to.

You can drive, you can work! Yet you’d rather sit on your butt and collect welfare. workmen comp payments are killing my bottom line.There’s no reason you can’t drive a taxi, shuttle bus, pizza delivery, etc. Yet you.d rather suck money from the government. WE CAN”T AFFORD IT. Medicare and people who think they are entitled to taxpayer money are bankrupting this country.

The GOP on the Senate should not be giving unanimous consent to anything that comes to the floor with this Senate and its low job approval numbers. They should be objecting because they can.

Some of Obama’s worst cabinet members like Janet Napolitano got confirmed by unanimous consent.

at fault, Senator Frank Lautenberg. This is what the GOP leadership should be saying.

Frank Lautenberg continually voted and filibustered energy development at ANWR. Had we had that oil supply in the spring of 2008 we would have not had $4.25 gas. Four dollar gas crippled the American consumer.

The crucial time for ANWR was 1995 and 1996. Senator Lautenberg voted to sustain President Clinton’s veto.

ANWR development will/would have taken 10 years and is an easy 800,000 BBL of oil per day.

One can only hope that Senator Lautenberg will realize he needs to retire.

If there’s anything the GOP doesn’t need at this time, is for Bunning to pick such a non sequitur fight. It’s totally inconsistent with his record and even with what he claims. It only promotes the “no” image while playing havoc on a frail economy. I don’t think this was a GOP stratagem. I think the guy’s a spiteful lunatic. And I’m a baseball fan from KY.

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.

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.
