Thank you Senator Bunning.The MSM deserves the middle finger of the American people,whom they have been giving the ‘bird’ to for quite awhile.
(Brian Ross is in the pocket of the UAW and has a hidden agenda against Toyota.)
No wonder ABC is cutting 1/2 their workforce.
ABC is a sinking ship…
check out their radio these days…
its cheap PAYDIO…
it sounds like a cheap version of CNN
Ira and his Real Estate show at prime time no less….
States that “News Programs” may contain “paid advertisements” within the news stories…I think we’re supposed to figure out which is paid for and which is not…
what a joke..
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE
Excuse me ? Sen Bunning was a major league pitcher – he should have punched that Lame Stream Media punk in the throat !
ABC is so incredible rude!!!ABC is an example of the professionalism of the main stream media. Way to go guys.
Geeez, let the poor guy use the toilet. Can you imagine if ABC got between Pelosi and her toilet?
Where was ABC all these years as the Government and corporate
America conspired together to ship all of our manufacturing
overseas ?
Where was the outrage ? Where was the hard hitting investigative reporting ?
ABC SUCKS, you go after Bunning for what because he said use TARP funds, but your precious little Democratic Progressives said NO! So ask yourself a question who really said no to extended benefits of unemployment. No they have already split the remainder of the TARP between the Socialist. So ABC why don’t you ask Pelosi how much she got from the slush fund. We are on to you Nancy and your Socialist puppets.
ABC News is not concerned where the money will come from to pay for the additional unemployment benefits. Currently they can collect unemployment benefits for 2 years. We have a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit this year and growing. NEWS FLASH to ABC.. 40 plus percent of Federal Government spending is borrowed money.
Let’s see. Senator Bunning follows the PAyGO rule that the Democrats implemented (no new spending until the money to pay for it is found), and he gets criticized by those same Dems for following THEIR law?
It’s simple. You want to spend $10 billion? No need to raise taxes. Just cut $10 billion somewhere else.
Heck, the government is a rich source of cuts to be made. Think of the $ trillions we could reallocate – if we just cut $ trillions of unnecessary spending. Starting with 10 percent of unnecessary Federal employees.
ABC’s parent company is Disney who censored and has spiked an embarrassing documentary film of Bill Clinton’s actions in the run up to 9-11 attack.
Another reason to Boycott Disney and ABC and their Sponsors. This is the only thing that will make a difference.
Sen. Bunning — holding the line on spending and wanting Pay-as-you-go for increased spending, including unemployment — just like Obama wanted. So, what’s the problem?
^^^^^^^^^^^^ The TRUTH about Glenn Beck! http://www.republicbroadcasting.org
Oh, but if it was a senator doing it to your beloved FAUX News, you would have a cow.
Hypocrites from both sides of the aisles!!!
ABC can’t even claim to be news anymore. It is like a mouthpiece that caters to the least intelligent of our country.
One question, why do we give aid to Haiti and Chile and all over the world but we refuse to take care of our own people? Why would he block a bill that would actually help those who lost their jobs because of Congresses stupidty? This recession is due to Congress not doing the job they were elected to do. Not just the last 4 years when the libs gained control but for a long long time.
We are broke and that is a fact. This is not a welfare state but in times of need and lack of jobs do we just turn our backs on fellow Americans and say sorry pal? What do the Americans who are devestated, lost homes forever, have no food, have nothing at all do. What do we do with them? 4,000,000 Americans who have no job, lost their credit rating, savings gone, no employment hope, do we just throw them away? Many have lost their credit and will never own a home again. No Holidays at mom and dads house, no slumber parties for kids, no place to come home to when children get older or if they fall on hard time or just want to sit and talk, nothing. There comes a time to make a stand, this is not that time. Those Americans do not have a (D) or (R) attached to them. They are in need! We should stop giving aid to all the other countries in the world, circle the wagons and help our own. We have $500,000,000,000 in unused stimulus money. Are you telling me that we can give money to banks but we cannot spare a dime for fellow citizens? I am a conservative, I cannot stand a liberal. They are vile political zombies. But there comes a time to put aside politics and help Americans. This is that time. Bunning can make a stand, say no to Health Care, Immigration, Cap and Tax… but this is one time that we need to put side politics and help one another. let us sustain one another until we can put them back to work. How can we say we stand on Family values, christian morals, fisscal responsibility, pro life but turn our back on one another? I cannot support this stand as it hurts millions of Americans. If we are going to spend money we don’t have, it should be on our own people and not haiti, chile, banks or insurance companies. I would gladly shoulder the financial burden to give Americans a hand to hold onto during these hard times versus helping other nations citizens and bankers.
So many Senators get out of answering questions by getting into that elevator, I have seen hundreds of these videos of them escaping.
SOURCE OF SENATOR’S WRONG DOINGS: http://www.americanparchment.com
Oh Right Jose Noway – “Faux ” News – wow – how original – just another Huff Post Georgie Soros troll in mommies basement
Dear ABC, Senator Bunning has answered this question, you could have just gone to his web page here: ‘
http://bunning.senate.gov/public/
for the answer. Although your reporters are to be commended for their dogged determination in chasing the senator down for an answer, might I suggest a more worthy target: Rep. Charlie Rangel. And just see the House Ethics Committee investigations and I am sure it will inspire any number of UNanswered questions.
Wow…Why is ABC out of touch? I say Bravo Senator for standing up for the real working class. To many useless eaters just taking up space sitting on their butt’s getting a gov’t check…Well folks, the TEET has run dry. It’s time to grow up, we are not your mommy and daddy, we don’t love you, and hunger is a great motivator..I am so glad. Millions will no longer live off the spoils of my labot…Let em eat cake!!
Duke
Sorry…MY “Labor”
Don’t these Sin-ators work for us? Don’t we pay them? Isn’t it the People’s elevators that we let these Sin-ators use?
It’s time to toss out all these egomaniacal puffsters and make them work for a living or send them to jail for violation of their sacred oath of office.
mainstream media is in nobamas hip pocket.,they lie and make things up to advance nobamas socialist radical left wing views. americans see what they are doing thats why their going broke. we really dont like socialists much.,they are cowards and selfcentered..come november the shiet is going to hit the fan.,ya boi i cant wait.
Screw ABC news. With all the leftist drivel they put out as “news”. Use the stairs, comrades.
Way to go Senator!!! I wish I could have added my finger!
lolz, pwnd abc
Senator Bunning should have thrown him a knuckle-sandwich fastball.
I thought that was Senator Bird.
Are there ANY members of Congress who are NOT TOTAL ASSHOLES??
I wish more republicans would treat the MSM like this. After all it is how the MSM treats them.
Excuse me Senator, I thought that evelvator belong to the people of the United States of America.
Let’s play hardball. It’s a shame they didnt have it on film because no one believes what ABC says anymore.
This is just like AP, CNN, MSNBC, etc. They will aim at the easy targets (Republicans, typical white people, the US Military, Police, Fire) but totally ignore the sins of the ahem… other “groups” out there that routinely issue ridiculous statements and pathetic lies. But hey, you keep up the good work there ABC and we’ll see you on a Wikipedia page in 50 years as the news org. that went under a mere 45 years ago. How’s those layoffs going?
I can not stand the hubris of the senate. I have to agree with Joe R.
I’d have told the ABC “News” dip to take a friggin hike. Something like “listen pal I already explained my position, and you are either too dumb to realize it or your looking to get your ass kicked…, everyone knows ABC news is a joke, and the people who watch it don’t vote for me.”
He is blocking the bill because we are BROKE you idiots. Government can’t produce jobs – only waste money and temporarily flood the market with projects – that we can NOT pay for. What a bunch of idiots that think the government is provide jobs.
By what moral right do you have to the earnings of another?
The liberal socialist comments I see supporting ABC news make me want to puke.
Prepare for the revolution….coming to a broke *ss city near you! Ha…..ha…ha…
Oh really, Sen Byrd (good try on spelling his name ya dumbarse) gives
ByrdDroppings throughout his West Virginia. He should’ve retired a long
long time ago, but so should have most in the Inner Beltway. Doesn’t
matter any longer if a D or R follows their name with exception of Ron
Paul as most are lamebrain morons. Thanks to the disgusting Supreme Court
ruling just weeks ago, more corporate goons will run the affairs that
Americans should’ve taken the time to demand out of these mouth-breathers
a long time ago. Congressional Tenure is NO, I repeat, NO guarantee that
one’s interests are being protected anyhow.
It’s 73 weeks right now MY GOD!!!! Tell OBAMA to get us a JOB!! Unreal, gimme, gimme, gimmie. This is what is happening to America. Where are the befenfits for small BIZ owners????? This just adds to the tension in America
ABC – “Please talk to me Congressman Brunning! I’m from ABC, we are going broke and if I don’t get to make my own Jerry Springer type interview, they are going to fire me!”.
Maybe Sen. Bunning needs to walk around with a baseball bat and knock some sense into these idiots!!!!
When I was 10 I went to a Phillies baseball game. While standing at the top of the stairs Jim just got the hook and ran up the stairs. As he approached me he stopped, patted me on the head and signed my had. It was a thrill.
It is only news when they attack Republicians, when it is the terrorists liberals doing the actions, it is okay
This is really poor journalism. Cronkite, Huntley & Brinkley would not have stooped so low.
The Senator probably got tired of being accused of being a racist hate-monger old white man Christo-Fascist bush-loving rethuglican obstructionist brain-dead knuckle-dragging mouth breather with no ideas except no say NO TO COMMUNISM.
Frankly, I would have done the same. Good riddance to ABC.
“THIS IS A SENATOR’S ONLY ELEVATOR”
How many elevators does a senator need?
Hey Mick, dat Senator was pretty nice. I’da told dat GD reporter piece of crap to get off the GD elevator of I’da punched his f*****g lights out. Yo, Adrianne…
Is it my imagination or did not the Chicago thugs just tout PAYGO and the fact that he will not sign anything if it is not paid for. ( full disclosure- I am on umemployment!) Throw ‘em a high hard one Jimbo!
and this senator is representing the people?
what a shame
Call his office and send him support. The left are hammering him for this on his phone lines.
When Reps do courageous things they need to know we are behind them!
Dukenukem
I have worked since 1978 without collecting – but started last year , how long have you worked and paid taxes? **** you and Bunning . We will survive and get mad and we will fight the cival war you want.
You lost the first one, and you will lose this one. Bullies always lose in the long run.
let the chinese and indians take the spoils

No wonder ABC is closing offices, cutting staff and eventually going under … political bias!
They keep demonstrating this blatant political bias, turning off more than 1/2 of their potential viewership, resulting in continuously falling ratings and yet they STILL keep their lefty attack-dog reporters on the attack … just like the others who are falling: CNN, MSNBC, AP, NY Times, etc. … they’re all in DENIAL!
Until they hire a BALANCED staff of JOURNALISTS and not 1960’s-leftist-type activists, they’ll keep going down down down.
Good riddance!
Yea, but was it in fact a senators only elevator? jus askin’…
ABC, it looks like is in need for some of that Mo’ Bettah bottom feeder cred, like NBC, it does appear? *sigh
I agree This Country Is Broke. When you give money to Chrysler and they turn around and give money to the Mexican Gov, to build a plant to build cars down there, I have to say money NOT well spent. Then again what is the average age of the senate ? Think there should be a mandatory retirement age for them… there is for pilots.
I am so sick and tired of these libtard socialist punk news agencies constantly referring to ENTITLEMENT programs as “THEIR… benefits”!
As if the lazy SLOBS on unemployment are somehow “OWED” … the benefits they’re getting even though they didn’t EARN them??!!
Unemployment comes out of the pockets of businesses and taxpayers like me, and I am SICK AND TIRED of being told by CNNMSNBCCBS that I’m somehow EXPECTED to give MY income to someone else who didn’t earn it??!!!
WHEN WILL THESE STUPID IDIOTS STOP PROMOTING SOCIALISM AND STOP DEMANDING THAT TAX PAYERS KEEP FUNDING GOVERNMENT SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT NOONE IS ENTITLED TO AND SHOULD EVEN EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE???!!!
http://911essentials.com says tell that scum bag senator that WE pay his salary and paid for that stinking elevator and that he can go have carnal relations with himself.
Stop being fooled by your team that keeps you in the left/right paradigm.
Vote out of office every one of these criminals that you can.
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”

****************************************************************************
Just start running ADS on the TV right now and let the voters know what this clown is up to .
can we all say FORMER SENATOR,No need to start running ADS at election , just start right now .
If I were the Senator, I would have stood there and answered every question with “Sorry, I don’t do ambush interviews” until the camera crew ran out of tape.
This fool is truly out of touch with everyday citizens who are sitting at their kitchen table wondering
what money they will have for food and rent, and this MAGGOT want to kick more dirt in their face after
they were just laid off.
If someone kept putting their hand in an elevator door to keep me from using it, I’d be hacked off too.
Hi is not runnning again.
Hey douche!
That Senator was upholding the paygo rules the Dems just voted to approve a few weeks ago.
Bunning was holding them to their OWN law! You know….the one THEY passed saying if you can’t fund legislation… don’t pass it!!
Bunning is right and you’re …well…kinda ignorant of which you speak.
Way to go Senator Bunning!! We need more with the kind of backbone you have. Keep up the good work and maybe some will take lessons from you. We need more spines in Congress. We need less spending too. Way to try to hold them to their words. LOVE IT!
The only one that is going to be out of a job is that little jagoff from ABC News. He should be getting his Pink Slip any day now.
I Love it! It`s about time somebody put that lapdog media in their place. Fox News is the real deal, watchdog for the people. ABC News and the rest are the lapdogs for the Socialists. I quit watching ABC News (like so many others according to the ratings lol) years ago. ABC News = lapdogs for the Socialists.
It is not surprising to me that ABC (and hopefully NBC and CBS) are cratering under their own incompetence. They have sold themselves to the devil, and they are reaping their rewards. Once great American journalism is practically dead. Than God for Fox News.
Hello Senator Bunning is not running for re-election.
If Prez BO would work on jobs and quit ditherinng with a brutal takeover of one sixth of our economy, we wouldn`t be having a discussion about unemployment benifits. O-Bow-Mao has taken over enough industry in the US and we don`t have any wealth left to spread!
Hey district8, Maybe uf those citizens would stop sitting at their kitchen tables wondering, and get off their duffs and look for a job, instead of feeding at the taxpayers’ trough, they would know where the money for food and rent would be. He is only trying to hold the dems to THEIR OWN LAW! You know the one that SOUNDED GOOD, but they had no intention of doing? That law, called PayGO! The country is broke! The gravy train is gone!
No wonder ABC News is in such trouble and is cutting 25% of their news staff. These two rude idiots should be the first to go. Good riddance.
American Journalism IS DEAD…. wait till the next celeb dies wall to wall on even fox.
The Democrats and Republicans were both responsible for letting Wall Street run amuck, with little regulation. They both sponsored unpaid wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They both let the southern border of the US stay wide-open, letting in between 10 and 25 million illegals, depending on who you believe. They both pushed NAFTA, and now I hear the faint remanants of the sucking sound H. Ross Perot was talking about. Our industrial manufacturing has moved out of the country, with only low-end, polo-shirt wearing jobs left over. China, the big red menace that we were taught to fear in our youth has become the banker of the United States? How did we get into this mess? Everyone, watch American Idol, buy your coffee at Starbucks, eat at McDonalds, shop at Walmart and get into passionate agruments over your favorite sports teams! But… vote? Nah! FOHGEDABOUDIT. We’re doomed.
Bunning should have given those ABC thugs a *real* high hard one. (No, socialist dummies, that’s baseball lingo, not an obscenity…)
That’s my man JIM! To bad he is retiring. We need 60 more just like him!
Maybe Bunning’s move will rattle the slugs and they will get their asses off the couch and go do/find a job that “Americans wont do” for a while. Check your ego’s at the door.
These unemployed folks can find work if they are willing to swallow their stinking pride for a year or so. Restaurants are hiring. Janitoral Co’s are always looking for able bodied people to clean office buildings etc…….oh wait, thats WORK work. If your Masters degree wont help you now, nothing will. Hungry yet? That’ll work. Way to go Bunning.
Okay, for all the bleeding-heart, socialist/communist/progressive liberals out there. Senator Bunning was simple. It’s referred to as PAYGO (Pay-as-you-go), which Obama re-enacted into law in February 2010, after Congress paid lip service to it as a standing rule in the House and later in the Senate. (It was originally passed into law in 1990, but expired at the end of 2002.) Since it is now a law again, Senator Bunning is simply helping to enforce the law. You liberals know what laws are, right?
There is a gravy train wow I missed it. Got laid off, the one place that is hiring is wal-mart went from 85K to say welcome to wal-mart dont think so. And as far as PAY GO (IF THEY BOTH STUCK TO IT) MIGHT WORK ? Both R an D’s Spend like drunkin sailors and i dont want to put down drunken sailors so to them I want to say Im sorry.
I work at ABC.The dude is our janitor.
I love the Libs on this site – we have the biggest radical douche bag president in our life time lying cheating etc…and they have the balls to ask a senator for upholding Paygo that the dems created. We are on our way to communisim and this is a story for MSM. UNREAL
did ABC take the time to point out that Obama’s physical today, his doctors advised him to moderate his alcohol consumption. CBS did NOT. It would seem to me to be a little bit more important then his smoking issue.
where was this at before the elections? to the Messiah Obama Boy King and Edwards too and Rangel and so on and so on
OUR FOUNDER would normally have 2 female staffers with him in the elevator – http://www.FATBOY.cc
Press out of the elevator, but let the ILLEGAL ALIENS walk into the country daily http://www.BorderInvasionPics.com
Excuse me senator its not the senates elevator. It’s the taxpayers elevator and the media have every right to access it and your sorry excuse for a public servant. I am elated to see the media getting aggressive in putting these buffoons on the spot for the pain they cause. When will our country realize that the rebubalicans do not represent the interests of the average American. Only the $250K plus types.
What Invasion? I went to the local sears and the loud speakers gave all the information out in spanish. I thought i was in Mexico, but then again we had nine inches of snow on the ground.
This is a news story? A “news” crew creates their own story by chasing down a Senator into an elevator?
This is what passes for news?
Really?
It’s not like there’s any substantive issues for them to write about.
“Hey, let’s stalk the Senator until he flips us off!”
ABC News announced today plans to fire hundreds of its news staff. I think they’ve got a good starting point for their “Fired” list.
district8 – If you are laid off go get a job or make one for yourself. We working few are tired of borrowing $ from China and Japan to pay you to sit around the table drinking beer and eating food we paid for by work at a job we found. In other words get of your progressive butt and support yourself and get off my taxes and the government tit. Grow up and feed yourself – Obmama is not your mama!
Where was this bonehead when the Bush tax cuts were put through? How about voting for wars we didn’t pay for either. This liberal is laughing his ass off! GOP for the workin’ man, what a fuckin joke. All you blue collar idiots fall in line while these right wing rich guys fuck you over all because they wave the flag and pound the bible while they fuck you straight in the ass.
Invasion, you just got me on a roll. Before anyone says that I am racist, I am NOT. Thats the first word out of someone who doest agree with me says. You need to walk in my shoes, I live in a place were english has become a second language.
What is the problem here? He’s 100% right! http://www.LIVESHOT.cc
we have an opportunity to correct this injustice on March 7, 2010. That is day the Oscars will be held in Los Angeles but IT WILL BE the day that the GBLT community and all free-thinking people of progress will make their voices heard.
You can make March 7, 2010 a day to affirm social justice, diversity and tolerance instead of a day of corporate greed and heterosexual preconceptions.
America needs progress and change and Americans finally have a President who is intelligent enough to make it happen. Health Care is a basic human right. Gay Marriage is a basic human right. Diversity is a basic human right. Support President Obama and change and we can win over intolerance and right-wing bigotry and stupidity.
We received many wonderful ideas and suggestions as to how to protest on March 7. After a lot of soul-searching and substance absorption, these are the ideas for protest we ask you to consider:
* Paint yourself using gold body paint and walk the streets of your community in the nude. The display of your genitalia will send a counter-message to Oscar’s sexual denial.
* Hold an empty picture frame in front of your face. This will symbolize what American TV programs and films fail to show.
* Do not watch the Oscars on your television. Watch progressive programming instead.
* Invite people to your home or speak with them in public about sexuality and Evolution.
Direct protest:
For those in the Los Angeles area you can certainly protest in the traditional manner at the location of the Oscars ceremony. We only ask that you be peaceful and non-confrontational.
We have gotten offers from people who work in the film industry to disrupt the ceremony itself during its live broadcast. While we do not call for such actions, we understand why they would be justified.
Message to the Academy:
If you wish to avoid the protest we ask the following: Rescind all nominations for Avatar. The film should not be awarded anything. We also ask that you give Brokeback Mountain the Oscar award for Best Film that it was denied a few years ago. Everyone knows that Brokeback Mountain is a better and more significant film than Crash.
Where was this idiot when the Bush tax cuts went through as well as fighting two wars we don’t fund. Answer: voting in favor. Congratulations to him for his sudden frugality. I love how all you blue collar idiots support morons like bunning. Repugnicans like him screw you and your wife all the while pounding the bible and waving the flag. What a bunch of suckers.
In tough times, tough choices must be made—not by one lone senator, but by all of us. That means responsible spending at all levels, from the people to the political parties. I’ve spoken with Bunning on several occasions, and I know him to have a serious sense of fiscal responsibility, and a demonstrable voting record of it. He knew when he saw it that this so-called “stimulus” simply put off the fall that’s happening, and did a poor job of that. Unemployment funds are broke nationwide. In any case, Bunning is a side issue; today’s pop-culture mentality is the real problem. What happened to saving in case of hard times, to not buying beyond your means? Why should I, having worked hard and managed my money, be forced by intellectually bankrupt Bush or Obama types to bail out some self-important jerk whose house, provided to him on loans that should never have been made, has five bathrooms? This country will never truly recover until common sense becomes common again.
Harry Hairy bt be a Reid You douchebag!!!! The Supreme Court ruling just leveled the playing field.The unions and all other Liberals power players were allowed to give big $$$ towards advertising to screw anyone that wasnt part of their Left wing Reich now others are aowed to do the same so hopefully there will be a baance in the Force and the Evil Dark Side wil not be able to keep pushing their agenda unfettered with out a response by the powers of GOOD and all that is RIGHT!! FU HARRY and F ABC too.
Joe R., You rock, baby! But nobody in D.C. is listening to you (or the rest of us). The reason is that Obama is on a MISSION TO DESTROY THIS REPUBLIC. And we already know that the Dims are socialists… On “our” side of the aisle, the GOP in large part has SOLD US OUT! (the globalist wing took over during the reign of GHW Bush.) Until real conservatives take back control of the Republican party, which at this rate is not very likely, we have TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
Whose to blame? Well the Obama white house is HAPPY about these suffering people according to the lapdogs at msnbc this morning.
==============================================================
*** Shades of 1995-1996? The Obama White House is oddly happy about stories like this one: “Two thousand federal transportation workers will be furloughed without pay on Monday, and the Obama administration said they have a Kentucky senator to blame for it…
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/03/01/2214947.aspx
====================================================================================
These corrupt lying fools in the media wonder why people won’t waste time talking to them. Like it’s been said above. Reid and the CriminalCrats just had to stick their own PayGo rule and grab 10 billion from Obama’s 500 billion dollar Stash. They’re just like the coward terrorist though, they love them some human shields.
Wow – ABC looks foolish in this one. The senator made his position clear, he has stated it, and placed it on his website. Why should he repeat it to these fools?
Why are these reporters not asking the democrats about “PAYGO”. Is it because ABC already knows the dems do things for show, cannot be held to their word (no honor), and then go behind closed doors to make shady deals (bribe each other for votes). I guess I would have to agree with ABC on this. Business as usual is not news. So, all they got now is attempting to create news by provoking a fight with a senator.
Hey try something that might actually improve your ratings. Try reporting the facts and not those liberal views created on a chalkboard by those hiding from the real world.
I remember visiting the Capitol as a visitor in the 1970’s and upon entering a room, was told by a very officious person that I was not allowed in the room because it was “reserved for staff” though there was nobody in it at the time. I felt ashamed. I thought the Capitol belonged to the people unless there were security reasons (and since nobody was in the room at the time….)
There was a time when being a Senator carried with it some dignity and decorum. There were rules of conduct and ethics and people could look up to them and tell their kids that with hard work, they might one day join the ranks of the Senate.
AAH! Who am I kidding? For the most part in my long lifespan, Washington politicians have been a sneaky, unethical, arrogant bunch of opportunists who looked down their noses at us regular folks. And now this guy flips the bird at a news team and says, this is a Senators Only elevator. Hey, Bunning, you’re not crippled, you can walk up and down the stairs like everyone else! That is the American People’s elevator, if you want to put a sharp enough point on the pencil! Republicans, Democrats, Independents, I’ve seen them come and go, and they’ve all had a hand in bringing down this nation. Johnson and Nixon lost the Vietnam War, Ford pardoned a President they should have put on trial, Carter was incompetent in his handling of Iran and it allowed them to create the current Middle East mess, Reagan gave illegals amnesty and was so focused on the Soviets he didn’t understand the rise of jihadism, Bush Senior marched into Iraq and marched out with the job half finished, Clinton was impeached for lying about a tawdry affair with a chubby intern and completely missed the danger of the jihadists, G W Bush attacked Afghanistan which made sense but then attacked Iraq which made no sense and now we’ve seen men and women die there for the better part of a decade with no end in sight, then ended his eight years by jacking up the national deficit with the TARP. And don’t even get me started on the Junior Senator from Illinois!
You can argue your partisan politics back and forth and blame Obama and blame Bush and blame racism and blame the TEA Party movement and blame MSNBC and blame conservative talk radio and blame blame blame… but you’ll get nowhere thinking that these dopes in Washington are going to do something that will make your life better. Just look at how they act, worse than kids. How fast would you be out the door at your job if you have the finger to everyone who gave you a problem? It’s ridiculous!
In November, go the the polls. Vote term limits on the whole rotten bunch of them. Had a Democrat in that office for your district for 50 years? Send him home! How about a Republican who is firmly entrenched in a lot of committees? Vote the bum out and get someone, anyone else to be a citizen legislator.
If we don’t do it, who will?
presidentsuit.com
As ABC prepares for sale perhaps they could track down and badger Rangel or Barney or Chris ( Idont know who wrote the Dodd amendment ) Dodd. Dolts!
HEY ABC … HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT?? IT’s not that hard / I see your shutting down a lot of your co-offices becuse YOU HAVE NO MONEY !!!!!!
Congress just passed pay-go ? Come on ask Nancy Pelosi. It’s hard to do from State Run Media …..
Freaking losers!!!!

What do you expect from an old school pro baseball player? LOL!
ABC should use some of that energy and ask people like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, et all about what they’ve been up too?
