Bunning rips McConnell over fundraising

By Halimah Abdullah | McClatchy Newspapers


WASHINGTON -- Sen. Jim Bunning blasted his fellow Kentucky Republican, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for trying to stock his own campaign war chest in the midst of the junior senator's fundraising efforts for the 2010 race.

"My senior senator also sent out his first mailing for 2014. Just as I refrained from doing it for two years, he sent out his, so you know where he stands," Bunning told reporters Tuesday during a telephone press conference.

For the past few months, Bunning has had increasingly testy exchanges with members of the Republican leadership and the media as both questioned whether the senator can mount a strong bid for a third term.

As the end of the first quarter campaign filing period draws to a close, the tension has grown palpable.

Bunning lashed out at reporters for questioning whether he would meet fundraising goals by the end of this quarter. Bunning quipped that he considered July 1st a better benchmark but that some media would scrutinize his fundraising in the interim, talk to unnamed sources and use the information to suit their own purposes.

"Three sources my a(ASTERISK)(ASTERISK)," Bunning said. "Pardon me if there's ladies on, I apologize."

1. This is horrible ...........

I don't know which one to root for.

It's sort of like watching Vlad the Impaler in a fistfight with Hitler.

Oh, well, I guess I'll just wait to see who wins.

In the meantime, :popcorn:

8. That's right Bunning, hit hard at that greedy McConnell. And McConnell, hit back at Bunning.

Put that upstart in his place.

Come on, both of you, fight this out in front of the public!

LOL!

7. It's kind of like watching women fight. With R's it gets really dirty really quickly. nt

12. That sounds rather sexist-odd it came from you. nt

13. Yes, it IS sexist. But women fight dirty. Ask anyone who's worked in a bar.

Women usually fight in the bathroom where it's easier to get hurt and start fighting dirty more quickly. I've had a few friends - male and female - that worked in bars/nightclubs and said the worst job was to break up fights between women.

We expect Republicans to be collegial, just as we expect women to 'act like ladies'.
