It's 100% consent, NOT filibustering

What Jim Bunning is trying to do is honorable; in fact, he's the only one who's been honorable in this whole mess. The Senate just voted to "PAYGO" (pay as you go) and here they are manufacturing another bill we can't afford. Rather than cut somewhere else or use some of the other money such as the STIMULUS money that has not yet been allocated, they are just ADDING more stuff onto the credit card. Red State explains it here:
As I noted in a previous post, and as is increasingly well known to those who actually are capable of comprehension, Senator Jim Bunning - for the simple reason he wishes it to be paid for - is objecting to a repeated unanimous consent request by Senate Democrats to call up and pass a bill that would temporarily extend unemployment benefits, transportation funding, medicare reimbursement, COBRA subsidies and other expenditures to the tune of another $10 billion or so. Again, Democrats are requesting that each U.S. Senator agree - that is, effectively vote “yes” - to said extension without full consideration or debate on the Senate floor.
