Jim Bunning’s Finest Hour (Recent WSJ Article)

The Senator is vilified for following Obama’s pay-as-you-go rules.
Throughout his Hall of Fame baseball career, Jim Bunning was famous for the brush back pitch: a fastball inside to a batter crowding the plate. Now Mr. Bunning, a Republican from Kentucky who is retiring after this year, is throwing a political brush back in the Senate on behalf of fiscal responsibility.
And all hell has broken loose. Mr. Bunning has dared to put a hold on a $10 billion spending bill to extend jobless insurance and fund transportation projects. Mr. Bunning says he won’t yield until the Senate finds a way to pay for the new spending with cuts somewhere else in the $3.5 trillion budget. For this perfectly reasonable stance, Mr. Bunning has become the Beltway and media villain of the hour. We’d call it his finest hour.

The party of No?

republicanpartyoffayettecounty — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:33:10 +0000

Moments ago on the Senate floor, GOP Sen. Tom Coburn gave a rousing defense of the “Party of No.”
“We’re accused of being the party of no,” he said. But “no is a wonderful word. When your child is misbehaving, you say no. When someone’s stealing liberty, you say no…Saying no at the right time saves lives. Saying no at the right time saves money…Saying no at the right time saves liberty.”

What about us?

In the 2008 election, democrats ran a campaign for change. Well, guess what, change is what we got.

It was only September when the national unemployment rate climbed to a record 9.8%. Here in Fayette county, unemployment was recently recorded at 7.4%. Although the lowest unemployment rate in the state, job growth is still negative. The climate is still bad for business and our elected leaders fail to act.

We need leaders in congress who represent our values here at home. What about us? Lexington was recently ranked as one of the best places to launch a small business. What if our elected leaders at the federal level embraced this? What if, instead of limiting growth by spending, our leaders embraced growth and fought for it. What if they got it: you can’t spend your way out of dept.

Some change from democrats, despite the obvious:
