But he had to make his move when he did with what he had to work with. As the saying goes, you play the cards you are dealt. Bunning was dealt a hand that leads to making him look bad because of the content of the bill, but in a way that should make his actions seem more noble. I would agree with you.

To pass on the FIRST and then act later would prove him to be as much of a hypocrite as those he is rallying against. Not to sound like Elvis, but it was now or never.

I believe his is correct, and has a very strong argument. Here's the thing. Pick a different bill to take this kind of a stand on. Pick a bill with a ton of spending in it that isn't going to force workers to be furloughed, or be cut off from benefits keeping some people out of the soup kitchen line. Practically, Senator Bunning is dead on. Morally, I think he's a bit off. Especially when he bitches about missing the Kentucky/South Carolina basketball game during his filibuster.
