OH SH**! It sounds like the Republicans have caved!
Can you please change “give” in title to “given”.
Thanks
I loved Jim Bunning as player for the Phillies, a congressman, and now a Senator. Excellent speech! : )
Did he get the unanimous consent?
“Now I want to talk about the bailout bill that we expect to have on the Senate floor soon. The Paulson proposal is an attempt to do what we so often do in Washington – throw money at a problem”
MY GOD THE REPUBLICANS CAVED!
The Dems are packing the pork in even as they deny responsibility in large part for the problem to begin with. ACORN getting 20% of the payback? If true, this alone should cost Obama the election and sweep the Dems out of Congress in the fall.
Good speech..
Senator Sherrod Brown, Pick up the phone. I have something to say to you!
Too bad that the truth has to fight its way through the media’s fogbank of blather.
Bump!
Bunning is my other Senator, and I’m glad to see this. You see McConnell a lot more than Bunning, but Sen. Bunning in recent years has developed a bit of reputation for being a hellraiser when it suits him to be one. Every time I see him speak, I like him more.
The future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement are going to be made or ended in the next 5 days, and I’m scared for this country.
First, the GOP can’t back down on the bailout.
Second, even McCain must see by now that his bi-partisan schtick is over and his friends across the isle are trying to cut him off at the knees.
He needs to start hitting hard at the rats and it needs to start tonight at the debate. He needs to expose Barak for the first-term backbencher that he is and he’s not going to do that with polite discussion.
Finally. Palin better drop the coy school marm bit and come out swinging during the VP debate. If people don’t see her steel at that moment she’s going to relegated to the back shelf as inconsequential and only good for drawing rally crowds.
“we cannot [fix this problem] in one week while everyone is rushing to go home [and campaign].”
At another site I read that part of the rush is that the Federal Reserve is on some kind of deadline that ends this month (fiscal year?), and is in big trouble (out of money?) if something isn’t done. Maybe someone can explain what this is all about.
Ya baby! That’s a senator with chestnuts and statesmanship.
We can either let the people who made bad decisions bear the consequences of their actions, or we can spread that pain to others. And that is exactly what Secretary Paulson proposes to do – take Wall Street’s pain and spread it to the taxpayers.

Thank you Senator Bunning for ALWAYS being at the top of your game.
Anyone know where we can see this letter from the “economists”? I read that L.A. Times article from 1999
