Democrats try to play politics with Zika, and it backfires.
Posted: Jun 30, 2016
Senate votes to approve a $1.1 billion bill to fight Zika by a 52 to 48 margin. But since the Democrats filibustered the bill, that wasn't enough to get it to the floor for a vote. And we're supposed to believe this is the Republicans' fault?;

[ In Reply To ..]Republicans booby-trapped the Zika bill.
Sorry, not even CNN is falling for that. Rationale has - become a foreign word,

I'll remind you of that next time Dems tag things to bills - that have nothing to do with the

That includes lots of pork from the Democrats in the Iraq bill - that was nonmilitary, and more recently
[ In Reply To ..]the Omnibus bill packed with pork-barrel earmarks and spending increases.

typical government action - LMT
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sorry but this is just another case of the government saying "watch this hand" while they do something illegal with the other hand and don't want us Americans to know about. What that is, is yet to be seen, but with the election year there is no telling what is going on. I don't trust either party and we need to quit bickering back and forth between the people...that is exactly what the elected officials want so they can do whatever they want to us Americans. They are distracting us with health issues like this and "oh goodness what can we do". I got an idea... Mosquito spray the whole country. It can be done...just cut the crap and red tape and get it done. We don't need any more bills or whatever the government uses to delay, delay, delay the obvious solution. Just my thoughts
Don't you people in the south even care? It could be...sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]be your beautiful child or grandchild. E. bola killed very few but very rapidly. Zika will kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, but slowly and agonizingly to so many families, ow death or a lifetime of severe disability requiring 24/7 total care. Pay attention people! This is way more serious than you think!
We have to protect ourselves... - LMT
[ In Reply To ..]because the government sure won't. We need to take precautions that we should be taking every single year when mosquitoes arrive... very simple and much easier than depending on the government to pass a bill...WEAR BUG SPRAY, clean out standing water in your yards, and I am going so far as to find a spray for my yard to kill the mosquitoes before they have a chance to populate. The government can dink around all they want with a Zika bill, but I will not wait for them and their solutions. I will take care of it myself.
I seem to remember - on this board
[ In Reply To ..]the Democrats' heads exploding when Republicans were voicing concern over Ebola. The Democrats were calling the Republicans on this board racist. Imagine that!
