Because we don't act like that and that's why they continue to bully us around and we always capitulate to them.

Thats never the answer

I don't understand how these creeps can go home for the holidays when so many people are desperate for help. How dare they?

Do you think people will finally understand about these congress-creeps? This is the new republicon agenda and it will not change any time soon. They do not care about us, period! They care about control and power and greed is their god. They don't even care that they will go home to these states and have to hear the screaming of their people to give some assistance. Why the hell else are they in office. right? Wrong! They are there to push their power grabs and take over...you know how they are screaming that Obama is taking away your rights? It's not the president, it's the congress, it's the state legislators. Only they can decide to spend money, or not. Time to stop voting against your own interests. Do you all see that yet? No More Republicons!

Republican Congressionals are clearly stupid, simple folk.

help in emergency storm relief? In their minds, Christie must be a traitor, for putting the needs of New Jerseyans above Presidential politics at the very end of a hateful and mendacious Romney campaign.

While it's nice of them to help us in the 2014 races like this, it does leave a lot of people seriously screwn. A pox on all their houses. And this needs to be a huge, huge story.

Fuck you for real.

One of the first steps in protecting yourself from evil, is to be able to name it. To know it when you see it. This move by the House Republicons' is nothing if not pure evil. Yeah, they are shooting themselves in the foot if they keep this up. This situation goes much much further than those 3 states (NJ, NY & CT). We don't need a committee to tell us that this is purely UN-AMERICAN.

on get on their collective ass?

How Republicans voted for aid to Red States hit by Katrina and Rita in 2005 and how they are responding to Blue States hit by Sandy.

Then compare and contrast how Democrats voted on aid for storm damage in these same storms.

One side is compassionate (Democrats) and the other side is vicious (Republicans). Now I wonder which side is on the winning side of this issue.

Rep. Scott Garrett only NJ member of congress not to sign letter asking for additional aid

Two days prior, he asked for his district to be declared "disaster" status:

I can see the ads we'll run now.

and gives us the upperhand. Now I'm very sure there are Republicans in Congress from all three of those states. Every citizen including the Governors and state legislatures should be putting the pressure on republican house members of those states. Apparently, they would rather represent the Republican Party establishment, even when it puts their own states' in jeopardy. It is political, but expose the Republican party for what it is. This obstructionism by that party needs to be broken, because it is dangerous for this country. Every citizen in those states should be informed about this! They even jumped on Christie, when he didn't play Politics. The Republican Party is no good period!

ABC news reported a lot of unrelated pork (including fixing the roof of the Smithsonian) was added to this disaster relief bill.

Who added the pork, and why?

Repugs you mean

... and most Americans think so!

First its the disaster of Sandy the Hurricane, and now today its the disaster of Sandy Hook that they are on the wrong side of!
