Kat,

My post is from the post YOU made. (26 Feb 10 - 10:01 PM)

"Bunning says he doesn't oppose extending benefits -- he just doesn't want the money that's required added to the deficit. He proposes paying for the 30-day extension with stimulus funds. The Senate's GOP leadership did not support him in his objections."





Note that it was a call for UNANIMOUS consent, NOT a vote. The Dems did NOT want to vote on it. THAT way it could have passed.

""As Democratic senators asked again and again for unanimous consent for a vote on a 30-day extension Thursday night, Bunning refused to go along."




And Bobert's tarring of all Republicans is obviously from a bigotted mind.

"The Senate's GOP leadership did not support him in his objections."



I have to repeat this since so many here would not figure out what I was saying in my post to Bobert without further explaination.
