I would love to see the Democrats stall when it comes to tornado relief in the midwest and see how they react to it.
Maybe not in Illinois, because it's a solidly blue state. But don't most of the tornadoes happen in a small handful of the states: TX, OK, KS, MO, AR, MS, AL? Most of them are among this small group of states, when the climate is otherwise "normal" - but obviously "normal climate" is breaking down.
Yeah, like when the Democrats did the same thing nearly two years ago after the Joplin tornado
Oh, wait. THAT was the Repugnantans too. Even in one of "their" states they TRIED to tie disaster aid to unrelated cuts elsewhere, in a way that would take stuff like food away from as many people as possible, and give poor women no hope for healthcare. I think I remember they were trying to cut off Planned Parenthood funding during that bill, and that came to a head when a couple months later they were hoping the entire government would shut down while using Planned Parenthood and Big Bird as pawns to achieve this in those debt ceiling talks.
And the debt ceiling talks are going to take guns off the front page before the end of January, with the Guns Over People party no doubt getting even more extreme than they were in summer 2011. I wouldn't put it past them to vote only for a bill which includes reinstatement of DADT or something.
Yeah,
that would help the budget, wouldn't it? Rebuild an entirely new layer of bureaucracy that makes sure that fa***ts aren't even ALLOWED to be "patriotic." It was costing real money to enforce DADT.
This is a political party I will not vote for. I will not support one of their candidates. If you are voting for the Republican party, you need to seriously self-reflect on your priorities as a voter. This party does not represent you, care for you, nor give a damn if you're hurt and suffering.
No, they DO give a damn whether you're hurt and suffering.
They LOVE to see people hurt and suffering. They want people to starve, or die from treatable diarrhea, if they're nothing but useless eaters. They (well, the hierarchy which rules the RNC/party) WANT America to fail, because there are some heathen women out there practicing birth control, and some gay people want to get married. Though the Phelps KKKlan are actually Democrats (HOW?? makes no sense), the Republicans wielding the power in their Party remind me of what it would be like if the Westboro Baptist Church had absolute power. Under no circumstances will I ever again vote for ANY Republican on any level.
they know that the American people will not support the cuts the Republicans want to make. It is the Republicans who are incapable and unwilling to lead.
hurricane relief
Included in the bill is approximately $238 million to rebuild the VA hospital on 23rd street near the East River and other VA facilities, which was heavily damaged in the storm and, I believe, has been unable to open.
The Republicans are the nauseating group. Insane and incapable of governing.
They hate the troops, because sometimes troops come home with PTSD and other ailments and injuries, which might cost federal money to treat, and that takes money away from Gazillionaires whose offspring have no skin in these war games. They would entirely shut down the VA system if they could, because it's socialism don'cha know.
While the other hand is saying "PENTAGON, WE WILL
FORCE-FEED YOU MORE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT IT. *EAT* THAT MONEY, DAMMIT! But
don't you dare use any of that money for anything that will actually help preserve peace - just make sure the dictatorships are propped up so that we get all of that oil."
Holding up the aid will also be, in 6 or 12 months time, rewritten historically as "Obama hedged about doing anything for Sandy relief."
No doubt. No doubt at all.
