No, Kat... That is true... Rather than vote to extend the unemployment benefits Jim Bunning choose to use this as his stage to voice his complaints against the deficits... Problem is that Jim Bunnng never said a word about the deficits when George Bush was running them up...

Oh, and for the record, the '09 deficit that The Repubs have gleefully accused of Obama of having created were 100% from the budget that George Bush proposed... The incoming presdient does not submit a budget until the end of his 1st year in office...

As for Repubs??? Yeah, we all have friends who are Repubs... I have no problems with Repubs but true Repubs are an endangered species as the hard-right has decided that they don't want a black president and are making life miserable for true Repubs...

Back to Jim Bunning... If he was so concerned about the deficit he should have voted against the '09 budget that Bush proposed rather than use this occasion to not only hurt folks who have lost their jobs but also are victims of the failures of the Bush administartion...

Boo on Jim Bunning... He is a hypocrit... There are better ways to make a point than to punish victims...
