"Shame on you."; House Republicans fail to vote on Sandy aid bill.

I'd be surprised if Boehner is re-elected Speaker.

Can modern Republicans do anything right?

 

They deny reality pretty well.

 

yes that fat pig governor wants to borrow $60 billion and stick me with the bill

pardon my indifference, but screw him

relative to the global population, our fellow citizens are doing just fine, even Sandy victims

Kids with cancer or people starving in Africa are more in need.

Christie is just posturing for a run at the POTUS in 2016

 

Chris Christie is the MAN! I respect him tremendously. He is the rare Republican with a national profile that has integrity. He's probably burnt too many bridges with the kooks in his party for it to happen, but I'll give him a very close look if he runs for president.

Christie is a guy who might have a chance to rescue the national GOP from the tea party nutcases.

Anybody who can intimidate the clueless House GOP idiots into action shouldn't be underestimated. Dems should just offer token opposition in the 2014 NJ's governor's race because they don't have a chance against this guy.

 

a true profile in political courage, bravely demanding other people's money, feigning indignance when we don't pay up

it's effective I'll give him that much, look at all the folks here stroking his ego

 

He isn't demanding other people's money. He's asking the nation do what it's ALWAYS done. Come together to help out in times of great need. It's always happened. It's AMERICAN tradition.

You are tossing fellow Americans' need out the window in favor of regionalism. You don't like it, because they aren't in your area.

What a horribly unAmerican thing to do.

 

You do realize that part of the reason for the Federal Government is to provide disaster relief? That goes under the "promote the general welfare" line in the Preamble.

 

...where's Obama's leadership on this issue?

answer: he's on a plane to resume his vacation in Hawaii

 

Anyway it looks like I should've gone with a flashier title for my earlier thread. Mod please merge these threads.

 

no asking about it

quite the opposite, it's others that are appealing to nationalism

My reasons for not liking it are not geographic. That would be irrational.

 

Crazyville...

 

Trying to remember from my history class the disaster relief agency the founders set up. It must have existed if that's what people understood that phrase to mean when it was written.

 

I'm in awe of your rational argument.

 

Obama has no real power. His just the pawn that gets all the ridicule, more so, than any other president of majority back ground would when this don't go along accordingly. I don't feel sorry for him because he wanted the job and all the blame deflected from his puppeteers that put him office. They really have a convenience with a black man's face on continuing war hypocrisies that continue to this day. When I read stuff like Obama's drones I laugh. More like the war industries drones such as Boeing etc who profit from the mess around the world.
