Can we get Drew elected?

what_now: Can we get Drew elected?

Kiss ass.

Really?? Senator Bunny may be leaving the hutch? Cool!

Couldn't he just switch parties himself?

unlikely: Couldn't he just switch parties himself?

We don't want him either. Though it is too bad it's not McConnell who's getting ditched.

Subby is an farking asshat.

Bunning said in a statement that the sources' accounts are inaccurate.

"I intend to fulfill my obligation to the people of Kentucky. If you are going to write something like this, you better make your sources known, because they are lying," Bunning said.

And a magnificent one at that.

Infighting in the GOP,,house-of-cards.

Let him resign. Snow, Specter, and Collins are sellouts anyway. What difference is Bunning going to make?

And they're now eating their own. Excellent...

Tharagleb: Bunning said in a statement that the sources' accounts are inaccurate.

Yes, because when in doubt, always assume the politician is telling the truth.

jjorsett: Let him resign. Snow, Specter, and Collins are sellouts anyway. What difference is Bunning going to make?

Good to know you value party solidarity over doing what's best for the country.

Senator Bunning is hot and cross.

I love it.

Bunning is toast either way.

I think we can bleed Mr. "civil liberties don't matter when you're dead", regardless of who takes his place.

Submitter: Senator Bunning is so angry with the GOP that he's threatening to quit the Senate and hand his seat over to a Democrat

...as opposed to handing it over to a Democrat in 2010? I can deal with that.

You all look like one of Saddam Hussein's sons.

Can we get him to take the other 534 members of Congrss with him?

Dont tease me. Im getting hard.

Screw party unity. Screw the Republicans in general for doing zip to rein in government when they had the power to. What would have been best for the country is filibustering that porcine pile of garbage that was was shot thru the Congress like it was on a rocket sled. Instead, Snow, Specter, and Collins sold us all out by siding with the highbinders who concocted a bill of goods named "stimulus". I have no doubt that they'll do the same with upcoming flushings of tax money down the toilet.

Random Reality Check: I love it.

Bunning is toast either way.

I will bet money that Arlen Specter will be replaced with the current Democrat governor of PA, Ed Rendell (Whose term also expires in 2010.

Random Reality Check: I love it.

Bunning is toast either way.

Any bets on whether or not Burris is going to be able to win an election?

what_now: Can we get Drew elected?

You mean Drew Curtis? The same Drew Curtis that donated $500 to Obama and then a month later donated $1000 to Ron Paul?

I think I'll pass.

Paduke: You all look like one of Saddam Hussein's sons.

You sound fat.

I thought that I read somewhere that he said he won't run for re-election now.

If the GOP thinks it is experiencing major butthurt now, wait until after the 2010 election. Holy cow.

Dil Doe: If the GOP thinks it is experiencing major butthurt now, wait until after the 2010 election. Holy cow.

Just a reminder, then, that this is the time to go find candidates to oppose people you don't like. You can't beat someone if you don't have a good enough alternative.

As a Pennsylvanian who proudly voted for Obama, and has never voted for a Republican for so much as dog catcher, all I have to say to this is:


The only way I'd even consider casting my vote for Rendell is if Rick Santorum somehow became the Republican nominee. Even then, I'd most likely vote third party or not at all. Rendell might as well change his title to "Governor of the City of Philadelphia", as they're the only ones his policies really benefit.

/Didn't vote for Rendell either time.
//Too young.

Even if this isn't true, a LOT of Republicans at least treat it as plausible because all protestations aside, it IS.

The chasm between the far-right "Limbaugh Republicans" and the rest of the party just got pried that bit wider open. And sooner or later, these two sides WILL be at each others' throats.

60 seats would be cloturific.

I don't think he thought his "bunning" plan all the way through.

2010...

Yup.

Those rednecks and fundamentalists are the ones who run the party committees -- because they show up in great numbers to the caucuses, then elect themselves as party officers through the convention process.

Big business and the uber-riche provide the funding, but they are in such small numbers that they can't possibly take power of those committees.

The rednecks & fundies bring no money to the party, but they control the purse strings because they make all the spending/candidate support policies. It's been a long time coming for the chasm to start widening... It'll probably turn downright silly in the next two years.

And I'll lol.

This is what happens when you knowingly elect someone with Alzheimer's and do your best to hide it from the public

ALL OF YOU THAT VOTED IN 2008. REMEMBER WE MUST BEAT THE PIGS DOWN IN 2010.

caps off, I iz 'runk and headin' to bed. Take Care
(but I meant it, beat those jerks into the ground, I love a multiparty system but I think the libertarians and the dems need to spar, not the REPUBLICAN farktards.)

Man, I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a blast watching the GOP implode. My friends think I'm crazy, but my dream ticked against Obama in 2012 would be Palin/Huckabee. If you think it got heated at the Palin rallies this time around, you'll really shiat your pants if you get to see the crazies who come out for those.

2010. democrats hat-trick. 2006, 2008, 2010.

It's a nice pitch, but he doesn't have the balls to strike out against the Republican leadership. Sigh, young Republicans should balk against this clear manipulation of the electoral process.

Or...the sources are accurate and Senator Bunning is lying now.

/nahhh...politicians never lie.

Yeah, Rendell sucks.

Which of Rendell's policy's are you so upset about? Personally, I'm pretty indifferent to the guy. The Commonwealth seems to be doing alright though, considering the state of the economy.

Seabon: Which of Rendell's policy's are you so upset about? Personally, I'm pretty indifferent to the guy. The Commonwealth seems to be doing alright though, considering the state of the economy.

Well, yes, by comparison.

Considering the rest of the country is now turning into the economic shiathole PA has been for a couple of decades, PA looks good by comparison.

But that isn't Rendell's fault. My father blames on Governor Casey, but I'm too young to remember him.

Jim Bunning was the speaker at my college graduation, so I'm really getting a kick out of these responses.

I like that he got the casino's in, and I'll probably even go to them when they add table games and poker.

This guy sounds like a real asshole, but:

224-184 lifetime with a 3.27 lifetime ERA, 7 time all star.

I gives him props for that.

Asshole.

Oh, and most impressively: 2855 K's, 17th on the all time list.

And in 1965 he threw 7 shutouts.'

Asshole.

chemical_angel: what_now: Can we get Drew elected?

Pfft, Drew'd probably do a better job than the idiots in power right now.

As my state's junior senator, Bunning is an excellent pitcher.
