That's what Bunning keeps saying as he blocks unemployment benefits, COBRA, and more for the suffering people of America--including his own state, Kentucky--all because the GOP won't back him for re-election. Funny given his record of skipping votes, how he can find the time and energy to block this one. But he's a spiteful, evil man, considered one of the worst in the Senate even by his own side.

Waste that filibuster, Bunning. Illustrate for us all what your party really is. In an election year, there will be many who will show their gratitude to your party. I think you know that. I think you're trying to ratfuck your own party. They may be letting you do this, in a miscalculation viewing you as a sacrificial figure who, with nothing to lose, can be allowed to do this thing that no other senator would dare do in an election year, just because it gets in the way of the Democrats. But it also gets in the way of the voters, and maybe they'll realize that all of the GOP's obstruction is doing the same.

Update: And now the idiot GOP thinks it has an issue, as another senator, John Kyl, decides to stick his foot into this, saying that unemployment benefits make people lazy. No, Kyl, there aren't any damn jobs. Going to do something to fix that? Of course not.
