Everyone knows about Senator Bunning's stupid, hateful and ridiculous hold on the unemployment benefits legislation but there are a lot of others affected by this crazy crap. It is bad enough that Bunning has decided to be a one man Congress but now other Rethugs are coming to his defense. Sens. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas)have jumped into the fray with stupid excuses why Bunning tantrum is right and proper. It just reinforces how mean spirited and unfeeling the latest incarnation of the GOP really is.
You keep reading about how about how many people are affected but no one seems to stressing how dysfunctional the Senate has become and how ridiculous it is that one idiot can hold up the entire country for petty and childish reasons. Think about how much money is being spent on salaries for staff and everything else over this mess on addition to the pain being caused by those not getting their pittance of unemployment or having to shell all of it out for COBRA. Add to this the doctors not getting paid for treating Medicare patients and the nearly 100,000 construction workers who thought they had a job. The White House should be taking every opportunity to ride the 'mean and spiteful GOP horse'. Bunning and his enablers need to be ridiculed mercilessly over this.
