In the latest afflicted act of callousness by the right wing, Senator Jim
Bunning has filibustered federal extension of Unemployment Benefits.

The Senate adjourned Friday without approving extensions of health insurance and
cash benefits for the unemployed, as well as a handful of other federal programs
that run out Sunday, after a lone senator insisted that Congress pay for the $10
billion package.~source

The Federal government doesn't have any money. How can it pay the
unemployed? Borrow money?

It's always nice to see wingers & rethugs demand that taxes
be increased.

Please tell the umemployed that their health insurance is also lost.

But how about cutting the waste and superfluous government from the bill
if you are going to say I have to pay the bill....

I thought the women's rights movement was to make them equal and to be
equal they had to pay and could ask out men and pay tabs. So they
wouldn't feel like property..... When do I get to allow Liberals to pay
their bills and pick up the tab so they can feel like they aren't
property? Didn't You *Liberals just turn women back into property* by
demanding that rich fat cat Republicans pay the way for Liberals and women?

LOST?

When was it ever guaranteed?

If you want a guarantee, buy a GM made car....

I went to Bunnings senate site and sent him an email of praise.
Then I went to the sites of senators from my state.
The message to them was to stand up beside Bunning,
and show their support.

But they are NOT, are they? Bunning is wrong because he didn't do the
same through all of bush's unfunded mandates and WAR. His hypocrisy
says it all.
And you wasted your time, dumbass. They WON'T listen to you because
you're just as wrong as he is.

And, you stupid ignorant fucker, it's already over. If you watched the
news you'd know that. Your ignorance is blinding.

"...It came after Mr. Bunning's fellow Republicans began to air their own
concerns about how the Senate blockade had the potential to damage their
political brand while also having a direct impact on their constituents.

The Senate later voted 78 to 19 to renew the programs...."

Teabaggers have a shit fit...but, they don't know why.

Are they pissed that Bunning caved?

Are they pissed that the vote was 78 to 19?
