that's a lie.
when hurricane hit mississippi, the rightwingnuts gave money instantly.
they made the northeast wait because ....blue states.
we lived through it. you're a clueless lying loon.
They had to wait 90 days. Assholes.
typical classless rightwingnnut trash.
mississippi got its money within 10 days. thanks for playing, lowlife.
it's so adorable watching you wingers melt down over fact.
I'm saying the Sandy victims had to wait 90 days. I should have been more clear.
I understood what you said. mississippi got it's money from congress within 10 days after katrina and the GOP in the House made new york/new jersey wait three months because .... rightwingnuts.
or do you think three months is acceptable when your home is gone, your roads and infrastructure destroy and your food sources jeopardized?
It isn't acceptable it was a nasty thing to do to play politics. That's why I bring it up to this day. Republicans were complete assholes about it.
What the fuck are you talking about?
