|
Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay called Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) "brave" on Sunday for launching a one-man filibuster of unemployment benefits, arguing that they dissuaded people from going out and finding work.
Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," the Texas Republican said that Bunning's fiscal responsibility was commendable, even if his shenanigans (refusing to allow unemployment benefits to be considered by unanimous consent) nearly brought the Senate to a halt.
"Nothing would have happened if the Democrats had just paid for [the benefits]," Delay said. "People would have gotten their unemployment compensation. I think Bunning was brave in standing up there and taking it on by himself."

Shouldn't praise from Tom Delay be considered the kiss of death for your career? Bunning will not be reelected.

Primarily, because he isn't running for re-election

Yeah, but not by his own choice. He was forced into retirement by his own party.

Rangel hasn't been forced into retirement. He voluntarily stepped down from his committee position, but he has remained in congress and as far as I know he intends to run for reelection.
I'm not sure what Rangel has to do with Bunning, though.

If I were a republican member of congress I sure would not want it known that Delay supported me.

No, if anyone told him to do anything, it would have been Pelosi.
