Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, December 13, 2008

Sen. Jim Bunning (R.-Ky.), an ex-Detroit Tigers pitching great, has been booted from a Detroit-area trade fair because of his vote against loans for automakers. "I simply cannot support anyone who, in my opinion, votes against the economic well-being of our great state," event organizer Jim Koester said.

"What a disgrace this is. People here in Michigan are going nuts."

"but I still think people should get a grip."

I think both of your statements apply to you. Your rambling rants are proof.

Get a grip.

Bunning can be a real nitwit at times, and sometimes you even wonder if he's even coherent, but he called out Paulson and Bernanke, been on the right side of the bailout argument, and he voted against the auto company loans so he's still capable of making sensical moves now and then.

"Its financial socialism and its un-American"

-Jim Bunning on bailouts

In Japanese auto plants, where they spend their time building cars instead of creating job categories, there is only one nonsupervisory job classification: "production."

Kill the UAW once and for all and get your fat highly paid asses in there and produce !

Bunning is a complete asshole. I've met the man and he was incredibly rude to me, as he is to almost everyone. Quite possibly the most obnoxious politician I've ever met, and I've met many.

So whatever crap he gets, I'm for it. Suck it up, Jimbo!

Bunning literally laughed on live radio show years ago when the city of Louisville -- part of the very state he represents -- was having trouble getting its flood walls put in place during a rapid rise of the Ohio River. It was funny, you see, because the mayor of Louisville was a Democrat and, well, he's not.

That's Jim Bunning in a nutshell.

I am wondering if we are headed back to the 1980s, when slogans like Buy America ruled the day and violence was the way to express your anger at someone who bought a Japanese car. This is bad.

Go to youtube and search "rice ready". And that's in a red state.

And BNJOHANSON- if you like the Japanese method, then you support business, labor and government working hand in hand to secure foreign market dominance by various non tariff barriers and government financing, right? You do realize Japanese car plants are unionized, don't you?

The Japanese provide lifetime employment, socialized Corporate financing @ 0% interest, socialized medicine, and $40 cantalope.

US companies never get free loans. Chrysler paid taxpayers back with interest. Of course, the big three don't have anyone like Aiacoco anymore.

Bunning is a total moron. He is a great representation of what Karl Rove wanted.

Obviously violence is wrong any under circumstances but what's wrong with slogans like "Buy American"? My spouse and I always try to buy local, union, and American.

We see no reason to send our money overseas unless there are no other reasonable alternatives.

Working people everywhere should begin to recognize who our enemies are and act accordingly. Why we allow the bought and paid for scum to pretend they are dignified statesmen is beyone me. They should not even be able to attend public events without public disapproval being expressed loudly and obnoxiously. Make this country an uncomfortable place for the enemies of the working people who built it.


whip inflation now!

hey danni and ng3 I am still awaiting your responses...

WHAT TYPES OF CARS DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DRIVE??

I dare you to answer!!!! Unless you drive all big 3 auto's, then YOU put detroit out of business.

The tolerance of liberals is on display again.

R-Ky tells you all you need to know about this asshole. He's one of those useless ideologues taking up valuable space in the Senate who don't give a shit about anything, anytime, anywhere but furthering their own crackpot extreme right wing agenda, a central point of which is that unions and the working people they represent are bad, bad, bad.

This is the attitude right-winger had during the beginning of the Iraq War. Anyone who dared question the Decider-in-Chief was branded a terrorist. Now that Liberals are (or wil soon be) in power they are acting the same way, anyone who disagrees with them is unpatriotic and should be sent to the Phantom Zone like the Dixie Chicks.

But it doesn't suprise me considering they want to bring back the unfairness doctrine.

I have four Detroit cars, all from the nineties. Allfour piece of shit cars, but its so nice not having to make car payments, that I just keep running them.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh pointed out in his book that when Clinton proposed the Anti Terrorism Act in 1996, and Republicans stripped it until it was meaningless. The GOP's moves resulted in the FBI receiving only 2% of the requested funds for the FBI to update it's technology and outdated desktop computers, and rather than being able to hire nearly 400 new agents to work in anti terrorism, they only got the funds to hire 7.

September 11th, 2001, FBI agents had to FedEx pictures of suspects because they did have powerful enough desktop computers to scan and email the pics.

Republicans changed their tune after 9/11, but they were hardly on board before that date as Clinton sought to bolster our anti terrorism efforts.

If you don't believe me I'll scan those pages and post them online.

Anybody against me getting a hand-out is an ass hole! I think all you that are working owe me a free ride.

hey danni and ng3 I am still awaiting your responses...

WHAT TYPES OF CARS DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DRIVE??

97 Taurus, 98 Cavalier. Before that Windstar and Ford tempo. My son has a Cavalier, my step family escape, F-150, Windstar and Focus.

Dave-now blow me.

I don't go around asking strangers their party affiliations and car preferences, but of the pople I know, it seems the democrats are more likely to own foreign cars.

An excellent example of his can be seen at the oil field heliport. Most oil field workers are very right wing. The parking lots at the heliports have acres and acres of American built trucks and cars. It is very unusual to see a foreign car in that lot -- my estimate is 1 in 30 or so.

So maybe Bunning isn't helping the auto industry, but a whole lot of other republicans are!

How about danni???????

SUCKIT.

I can't help but wonder if the same folks who support an auto industry bailout in an effort to save jobs will appose military spending cuts that will cost soldier and military supplier jobs.


Screw Detroit. That inflamed butthole on the ass of america.

They have gone out of their way to have total socialism in thier industry while at the same time complaining about the socialism of their competitors.

And somehow they spin it so the rank and file doesn't understand they are socialistic.

Amazing!!!! Give that hemmaroid some preperation 'go fuck yourself'.

2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually, Cummins Turbo Diesel 4X4

nothing foriegn in there.

Buy American. You mean like my Ford that was designed in Europe and has a Mazda engine and running gear? Or the two GMs we've owned that were simply re-badged Suzukis? Maybe the Chrysler that had a Mitsubishi engine and drive train? Cause I've always bought American... Except for the Miata we used to own and the MGB we had a few years back.

Dammit! Now listen here Mr. Bunning! You're gonna buy a buggy-whip and you're going to support the govt. bailout of our buggy-whip factory. And if you don't you're unamerican! Further, you're a threat to the well-being of our great state of Michigan!


And what about all those telegraph operators? Who cared about them?

Or that guy that shoveled coal into steam locomotives. or those factories that built steam locomotives?

What about that guy that made huge sums of money raising leeches for the medical profession? I heard when medicine discovered that leeches were not a good fixative, he lost his business.

Oh, the humanity!!!!
