Kentucky Teabaggers Support Bunning!

[Joanne98]

“I support Senator Jim Bunning. Frankly, unemployment benefits are currently 99 weeks or almost two years. While I support extending the benefits for a short period of time longer, we must find a way to pay for those benefits. I do not support extending unemployment benefits beyond two years. Even Germany limits unemployment benefits to one year. Benefits here in America are exceeding those offered in the most liberal countries of Europe. Two years of government support is not a safety net. It is an entitlement program. I am tired of paying for entitlement programs that continue well beyond a compassionate need.” (Bill Johnson, Press Release, 3.2.10)
“Jim Bunning is being unfairly attacked for saying we should spend money already set aside for benefits rather than borrowing more. He deserves our support and he is going to get it.” (Rand Paul)
“I would proudly stand up to ensure that programs are paid for and think that this is further evidence of mismanagement of the Senate by Harry Reid. If we had not wasted time debating and passing a pet bill for Reid, we would not have been in the situation that led to the delay. I agree with Senators Bunning and McConnell that the government has a responsibility to pay for its programs and a good place to start would be to cut funding from the stimulus in order to pay for the extension of unemployment benefits. If the stimulus had created jobs as promised, then we would not need more unemployment insurance.” (Trey Grayson)

Editor’s note: Thanks to these candidates for swiftly stepping out and supporting Senator Bunning in what has been a career-long quest to support fiscal responsibility.

8. You are no fucking help

Fuck your judgmental bullshit stereotyping 'humor'

[YOY]

14. So into defending Teabaggers much?

Hey...if the shoe fits...throw it at the Republican hypocrite.

[era veteran]

16. Obviously not defending teabaggers

Calling your stereotyping crap out.

[era veteran]

18. We can do it to ourselves though

20. Having family in TN I have no problem ripping on the tea baggers countrywide as rubes.

They, as a whole, are hardly defying any stereotype in their so called "diversity".

If you take me as stereotyping the entirety of the Appalachians as "moonshine swilling incestuous hilljacks" instead of a small percentage of the population that are misinformed manipulated uneducated tools of Dick Armey then you are clearly misinterpreting me.

21. It's the banjo thing

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Would somebody please ask these great men if they're aware that the 2001 UNfunded tax cuts,

voted for by Sen. Bunning, make up $3.5 trillion of the national debt?

[mrcheerful]

5. But thats different that was given to the people who create jobs ( in China )

[classysassy]

6. It seem to me that we can always

find money for our unjust wars but zero for the needy among us.

[KingFlorez]

7. Kentucky is one of the places that would be most hurt by this

Kentucky's poverty rate is among the highest in the country and as previously mentioned up thread, the unemployment rate is higher than the national average.

[era veteran]

9. Of course they support Bunning

Who else?

[spanone]

10. please tell me they've been lobotomized, please

[Marr]

11. There's an element of the right that's simply pro-cruelty, for it's own sake.

There are a lot of things going on here, of course, but I think one of them is the bully factor. I've long thought right-wing politics is a place where former playground bullies (and wannabee bullies) end up. They'll always be for anything they perceive will hurt vulnerable people.

17. "supporting Senator Bunning in what has been a career-long quest to support fiscal responsibility."

maybe they should do a little research on their good senator before making such claims.

[HughBeaumont]

19. Well, hey, if that vaunted Private Sector you Tea Klux Klansmen love and rever . . .

. . . would actually commence HIRING, maybe we wouldn't HAVE the problem of so many people on the Dole, would we?

But hey, just ignore the whole "sense-making" thing and wait until America turns into one big Depressed hovel before anyone who has the power to DO anything actually gets off their asses and DOES it.

[Johonny]

22. How can a teabagger support him using a senator only elevator

instead of "the peoples" elevator

[heli]

23. How many teabaggers already have a guaranteed income or benefit from the government?

I bet most of them, judging from their demographics.
