You need to follow through more on things Truth Matters Not.

These guys are already covered and insured, which is besides the fact. Your source sucks.


WASHINGTON - Insult turned to hope and flattery Thursday for first responders who came to the Senate to push for the 9/11 health bill - and found cops waiting.

It began when the office of Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins sicced Capitol police officers on the former firefighters, construction workers and cops on their way in.

It ended hours later with reconciliation when the first responders met with Collins' top aides - and left believing they have a deal to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.

"At first we were insulted, but in hindsight, we're flattered," 9/11 advocate John Feal said. "We can look past this because we believe Sen. Collins will support our bill.

"Both her and [Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa] Murkowski's office said to us, 'If your bill goes on the floor next week, it will pass,' " Feal said.
That was good enough for him.

A spokesman for Collins confirmed a staffer alerted police after they got a letter from Feal on Wednesday, warning that responders planned to sit in at Senate offices until they got answers or police hauled them away.

The truth doesn't not matter to truthmatters. She's a liar.

I don't know what this is all about anyway. Does someone want to tell me that the 9-11 responders have done without health care for these nine long years? and then secondly why aren't they covered in obamacare? Inquiring minds want to know.

They have a great Benefit package, and great Health Care Insurance options through the job. 20 year retirement too.

So basically they just want to squeeze the American Taxpayer for more?

This is how the right repays heroism

Collins is a Republican in the same manner that Bradley Manning is an Army soldier.

There may be real issues there, it's worth the consideration of hearing. I would think Insurance Riders could be negotiated for legitimate causes.

Your Opening Post is a lie. This is how you present your case? I don't think you help the cause, TM, by misrepresenting it.

 

[Truthmatters]

How is it a lie?

You keep claiming I lie yet you NEVER produce one lie.

I have one of your lies right in my signature

 

[Truthmatters]

Calling the cops on wounded heros is really sick

 

[Si modo]

How is it a lie?

Oops on you, Mypartisanshipmatters. Because you never question what you read from a blog, you posted a lie.

I have little confidence that you can grasp that, Mypartisanshipmatters, though.

 

[Truthmatters]

So she didnt call the cops on them?

please go get the proof

GOP Senator Calls Cops on 9/11 Responders

By Michael McAuliff

Republican senators were so worried about meeting with 9/11 responders who came to Washington today that at least one called the cops on them, the Daily News has learned.

Even before the nine responders had a chance to start visiting senators’ offices - where they intended to stay until meeting with legislators - they were greeted by Capitol Police, who had been called by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.).

It's sad to see Mypartisanshipmatters go on and on and on with no insight whatsoever. It's like a fish out of water gasping and gasping.

Try some flopping around now, Mypartisanshipmatters. Maybe, just maybe you might flop back into some water.

TM lives in a hitherto alternate reality where truth never rears it's head.

Ignore her.

Doubt seriously that you would have posted this story if it was a member of the democrat party.

Have to agree with others that you are using a hack source.

If truth matters, then you should allow yourself to look at your one sided views as others do.
