Seems I remember Cantor saying we will spend what it takes to respond to this disaster, and find the funds by cutting budgets elsewhere. How is that not responsible fiscal behavior?
I agree the current right wing GOPs are zombies. I’m waiting for the fallout in a few years when they are held accountable and use the excuse “we were just following orders” from our corporate handlers.
Morin is a mean, nasty Moron!1…Cantor is a responsible and fiscally SANE member of a spend-thrift congress and he represents the voters of 2010.-2….in most disasters, the local people get the quickest and BEST help from local government and organizations. FEMA has been a source of wasted taxpayer monies, and has a poor reputation for actual “help” to citizens in distress, IMO
I’m not so optimistic. That district went 53-46% for McCain. Of course, they had to squeeze Dems out to create these GOP strongholds, so those like the 3rd and 8th were around 75-25% for Obama. They’ve fixed it so that in a state that is 45% Democratic, we have 3 D reps and 8 Rs in the House.
Back up to Swirly- on illusions- you mean to say Cheney and Bush just Photoshopped Afghanistan and Iraq, and trillions have been spent on the “illusion” of bloodshed and betrayal?

May of us in VA would love that, but the GOP-controlled legislature has the districts so screwed up, even that idiot is probably safe.

Joplin didn’t have to wait a week for outside assistance. Unike the War Shrub, Obama did not use the military to keep people out.
