Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Saturday said she gets "dizzy trying to keep up with the hypocrites" in the Republican Party.

In a speech to Democrats at a local fundraising event, first reported by the St. Louis Today, McCaskill specifically lambasted the GOP for blocking an extension of unemployment insurance benefits because it would have added to the federal debt.

She described that recently broken filibuster, led by Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), as absolute "hypocrisy," adding that Republicans only espouse "deficit religion" when they are trying to thwart Democrats' agenda.

"The Republicans are willing to scream about an extension of unemployment (insurance) not being paid for," she began, "(But) they were silent on over a trillion-dollar tax cut on the very wealthiest Americans (they put) on their credit cards."
