Republicans Run from Cantor’s Plan to Withhold Disaster Relief

Posted: Sep 7, 2011

Eric Cantor (R) wants to withhold relief money from Irene victims until he gets his way on Medicare cuts. Read article below. These are the kind of people we have in Congress people.

Will try to respond to this just as soon as I can get - my side-splitting laughter under control. nm

ROFLMO.

Does this mean Perry is on his own with recovering his 75% - wildfires budget slash from taxpayers/FEMA?

Guess he never counted on this tea-party-eating-its-own scenario. I do seem to remember Gov Christie being a bit ticked over this off a few days back, but his rants will pale by comparison if Perry gets riled. It ain't a pretty sight. Hopefully, this will come up in the debate tonight.

Only liberal blogs and HuffPo reporting this. - hmmm

Where's the mainstream media? Maybe they finally recognize a trumped-up fallacy when they see one.

So what part are you denying? Cantor's latest hostage quest - or the Pubs who want help?

MSM does not cover a lot of stories unless they involve bashing President Obama. So what?

Wrong again. Folks over at Insurance Journal are positively - salivating of the $11 billion

they seem to think Congress can get without spending cuts due to a hidden provision in the budget pact....not exactly a liberal blog or Huffpo. Seems both dems and GOP are going to bypass the freshmen hissies all together. I'm posting the link though I feel quite certain you won't be interested in actually reading it.

Want mainstream or notoriously conservative outlets? How about the Washington Post? Surprisingly, their tone is decidedly not very concilitory toward Cantor.

ABC mainstream enough for ya?

Does it ever occur to you to research your half-baked declarations before posting or do they just come tumbling out beyond your control? I suspect the latter is the case.

I think it is rather interesting to have our very own fanatic - on the board

it keeps me reminded of that 1% of the population that is the extreme right-wing TP delusional. Have to keep an eye on these types.

I agree. It's definitely good for some laughs! - nm

And a privileged minority at that! - hmmm

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matt. 7:14

Would you prefer something a bit more "human?"

Kamikaze, my death is gain.
I've been marked by my Maker
a peculiar display.
The high and lofty, they see me as weak.
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek.

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there ain't no disguising the truth.

"Jesus Freak" - DC Talk

"The few" does not include those who invoke the Bible to inflate - their own importance,

who sit in judgment over their fellow sinners and dare to presume to know who will and who will not find the road to life. Last time I checked, Matthew 5:5 tells us the meek shall inherit the earth. That kinda sorta takes you out of the running, dontcha think?

NOPE! - hmmm

Maybe it's because it's already too late for them to upstage the National Guard, so now that the photo op has gone bust, it's back to BAU with last-ditch stump stops in Lean Obama Territories, which almost NOBODY is paying attention to. It's all good. Their decision to stay out of the way and let the big boys do their jobs is probably a wise one. ...

I have TMJ that flares up and has been hurting me for the last couple of days. My dentist has said I need a bite guard for when I sleep and when I'm working because I clench my jaw and grind my teeth at night. However, to get one made through her will cost me $300 because my insurance will not cover it! I've looked at the OTC ones that you can sort of "do it yourself" and fit it to your teeth. My dentist has said I should absolutely NOT use one of the OTC ones b ...

I purchased an arm splint on Amazon.com, but didn't like how it felt and so don't use it. Instead, I go to YouTube and type "carpal tunnel syndrome stretches" or "yoga exercises carpal tunnel syndrome" and there are some effective exercises in effect brief videos, some by physical therapists. "Top 3 Exercises For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" is one that I particularly like. I do some exercise every day or every other day and it counteracts any pain in my right arm. ...

DeDomenicis has lived in this house since 1982, a few hundred feet from a bay. She used to work as a restaurant server; now she’s a school crossing guard. Her husband walked a mile to his job at Bally’s Casino until he retired in January. They’ve seen floods worsen as the seas have risen, as the land beneath them has sunk, and as local infrastructure has rotted away. “It comes in the front door, the back door, and then from the bottom of the house, in through the sides,” DeDomenicis sa ...

Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign. By all accounts, the money and what it was meant to do never really reached the Haitian people. While the Clinton Foundation only puts 10% of its donations towards charity, the IHRC was a real racket for Clinton pals, 1% went towards Haitian groups and agencies on the ground. All that is transparent is that the money didn’t go to Haiti, beyond that the trail goes cold. The money for earthquake relief ...

Below is a list of 37 (out of the 67) GOP hypocrites who voted against the $9 billion Sandy relief funds, STRICTLY DEDICATED to flood insurance guarantees, after they had supported and/or praised emergency aid services for other disasters that affected their own constituents.

The thousands of mothers, many of whom will give birth to babies that will either die or require 24/7 complete care for the rest of their lives because they have little or no brains, will be vilified and blamed for needing help.

The entire southern half of the country is at risk. ...

Though he could not be bothered to interrupt his Martha’s Vineyard vacation to actually visit those devastated by historic flooding in Louisiana and beyond, President Barack Obama’s Justice Department did manage to send the disaster-plagued state’s leaders a refresher course in anti-discrimination law. The federal agency drafted a 16-page document laying out in excruciating detail the hoops aid workers must jump through in order to avoid running afoul of the law. Any organizations ...

Tax plan "might increase the deficit" by trillions but it should be "short-term." Okay, sure thing.

In a speech Wednesday at Georgetown University, President Obama outlined his goals for reducing American energy dependence, heavily emphasizing new technology and alternative sources in addition to "safe and responsible" offshore drilling. He was quick to add that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had not been forgotten, and that "today we're working to expedite new drilling permits for companies that meet these higher standards." The president pointed to rising prices at the pump, wh ...

Firstly, I am *not* opposed to a GOP plan - and to be fair I don't have enough details about what it would and would not do (which I plan to remedy). I read the following post to get more information, but much of it is opinion - or vague -and did not explain how it is better than the current bill(s) under consideration. Let me be specific: OP: This is what I like about the GOP plan:Instead of govt insurance it reforms the system. 1. How is the "Pelosi's ...
