What do you think of Senator Bunning's actions?
Do you think he's "proving a point" or just totally reckless and unconcerned about the impact of his decision on millions of Americans on Unemployment and Cobra?

He's managed to change the whole conversation regarding unemployment and healthcare. We've gone from how do we fix healthcare and get our nation back to work to we can't help everyone. His "tough sh*t" comment says it all.
Surely, we as a nation can do better.

I think Senator Bunning is a true PATRIOT. He is concerned about the direction the Country is heading. The letter he read from his constituent in Louisville, KY reflects the concerns of the majority of true Americans. Like they said on FOX News - just like he was known to do when he was in the Majors he threw a inside hard fast ball to Harry Reid. All Senator Bunning is saying is - OK. let's pass the bill - but let's pay for it - and not let it add to the deficit!

This guy is a real prize. He's always been 'off the reservation'- ever since he was elected. It got so bad that the Republicans BEGGED him not to run for another term. He's .embarrassed and hurt by that fact. Unfortunately, instead of going out with even a scrap of dignity, decorum or class, he chose the low road. He doesn't give a $#!t about the people his actions are affecting, and he's already said those exact words. This guy was voted one of the 5 worst Senators EVER a few years ago. He's a whining- "I missed my basketball game", mean-spirited, soulless, self-centered jack@$$.

I suspect he is asking the Democrats to 'put-up, or shut-up'!
Am I mistaken that Democrats stated that they would not support any 'unfunded legislation'!
Am I mistaken that the legislation that Bunning is resisting is 'unfunded'!
Am I mistaken that Bunning is proposing 'fund it or I will not support it'!
So, where is the controversy!
"Bunning said again Tuesday that he opposed the extension because it would add $10 billion to the budget deficit, and he attacked Democrats for abandoning promises to pay for legislation instead of contributing to a budget deficits projected to hit almost $1.6 trillion this year. Bunning proposes to pay for the extension with unspent money from last year's massive economic recovery package, but Reid objected."

He is following the law that Reid, Pelosi and Obama all wanted in place. The fact that others prefer to ignore the law and pass bills without reference to the Paygo system is unfortunate. Their singling him out for attacks is nothing more than partisan cr*p. The fact that very few headlines go beyond blaming him for the delay is incredibly shoddy journalism.

It's a smart move we cannot afford it. Do you understand that we are on the verge of bankruptcy as a nation. If this nation goes bankrupt, we are all screwed not just those who a currently out of a job. Why do we have to spend money we do not have. Dems just love to spend other peoples money without regard to the impact it will have on this nation.

I think someone has to draw a line sometime and Bunning is doing just that.
