Rush Limbaugh The Poster Child for Just Say No
Here is the audio courtesy of Media Matters:
Limbaugh said, “C’mon, everybody knows these unemployment benefits are going to be extended. It’s going to get done. This is how the Democrats play the game, trying to make it look like Bunning doesn’t care. What Bunning knows is that this country is fit to be tied over this out of control spending. Jim Bunning knows that there is more anger in this country over spending then there is over any other issue. There is more anger over spending, and the economy, and the lack of jobs, and Jim Bunning is a hero here for trying to get the Senate to abide by their pay go rules.”
The right wing just doesn’t get it. Every day where a person loses their benefits is another day when Republicans lose more of the ground that they gained heading into the 2010 elections. Bunning filibuster is a publicity nightmare for Republicans, because it makes them look like they don’t care about how much people are hurting during this recession.
The Democrats aren’t making Bunning look he doesn’t care. Jim Bunning is making it look like he doesn’t care. Limbaugh and the wingers are greatly overestimating how much weight the spending issue carries with voters. Plus, they have little credibility on the issue after they spent most of the Bush years spending money like it was going out of style. I didn’t hear Limbaugh or anybody on the GOP side talking about pay as you go rules then.
The Republican Party is once again demonstrating their ability to shoot themselves in the foot at any given time. Bunning’s filibuster appeals to right wingers and Republican primary voters, but to the rest of America, Bunning is making his party look cold, unsympathetic, and out of touch with those who through no fault of their own have lost their jobs during these hard times. For the life of me, I can’t understand the mindset of any group of people that would laud a man for hurting the people that he was elected to represent. Bunning is being cold, heartless, cruel and anything but heroic.

“Look like” they don’t care?? For God’s sake, they DON’T care!!
Scripture says the tongue reveals the heart of a man. Bunning is black and dead inside.
This after years of deficit spending for defense contracts and 2 hopeless wars… You know Bunning, if you really want to curtail the deficit you should target the biggest expenses, the runaway military spending and agricultural subsidies.
A zero calling another zero a hero, don’t that beat all…
Carl Rove has now proclaimed due to Bunning’s actions it no longer 1994 for the GOP it is 1995 for those of you who do not understand the statement I will explain after the GOP took both of the legislators they did nothing and lost the confidence of the people and Clintons approval rating rose to new highs. I believe that this and other blunders past and those yet to happen will cost the GOP in 2010 and 2012.
Well, we all know Limbaugh is dumb as the day is long so you really have to consider the source!
