You’ve Gotta Be Kidding! Lefties Trying to Oust Senator Jim Bunning from Baseball Hall of Fame

I have a good mind to drive to the Baseball Hall of Fame to personally tell them Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) should remain in the Hall.

These libs are perfectly happy to bankrupt this republic and our kids so they can dole out some more goodies without finding a way to pay for it.

The Hill: Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) should be ousted from the Baseball Hall of Fame because of his block on extending unemployment benefits, according to a group that advocates for the unemployed.

The benefits expire Sunday.

“The most obscene thing he can do is prevent jobless Americans from getting their $350 a week unemployment check,” Rick Sloan, acting executive director of Ur Union of Unemployed, a grass roots organization for unemployed Americans, told The Hill.

Sloan’s group is creating an online petition to remove Bunning from Baseball’s Hall of Fame. The list is expected to be operational by the weekend.

“His legacy as a great ball player is about to be surpassed by his reputation as an obstinate and uncaring ideologue,” Sloan said in a statement.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has tried for three days to extend the expiring employment provisions, only to be rebuffed by Bunning who demands the bill’s $10 billion cost be offset. Reid has argued the legislation is for emergency reasons and therefore offsets are not required.

According to Gateway Pundit, “Rick Sloan was the communications director for the International Association of Machinists as Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) and was a former Hillary supporter.” Another thug union dude. Figures.

See my earlier post for the reason Senator Bunning is blocking the legislation. The Democrats are violating their own bogus “paygo” rules. They’re so dishonest and morally bankrupt.
