He's a typical Republican. They care nothing for the middle class even though the majority of their base is middle class. They understand that because we have a black president, Republicans will vote for anything white, no matter how it hurts them. They hate the black guy more.
Again, the enemy of the Liberal is the REAL World and the facts that reside therein.
The House has already passed the bill to help the victims of Irene's stay in their fair cities. The Bill is currently stalled in the Senate. Again. Is anyone else a little miffed at the ongoing lethargy and sloth of the Dems in the Senate?
Even the Huff&Puff Post knows the facts even though they don't understand the reality.
Eric Cantor: Hurricane Irene Disaster Relief Funding Has 'No Strings Attached'
The devil is always in the details.
Cantor and other House Republicans continue to call on the Senate to simply pass that bill and send it to Obama to sign into law so needed relief funds will be readily available. The reality, however, is that the bill contains scores of other provisions that Senate Democrats and Obama are unlikely to just swallow.
Ain't it?
What are the provisions and, if you don't like them, what about them is distasteful?
The FACTS of the matter, though, remain. The Republicans, and Cantor, in the House have passed the relief you request while the Democrats in the Senate, AGAIN, do nothing.
It is the Dems who are not responsive, not sympathetic, not empathetic and not energetic. They complain, they blame, they procrastinate and lie. They NEVER help, never think, never plan and never remedy.
It would be refreshing if the Dems would just one time cite the problem, propose the remedy, explain how it would be paid for and then conduct the work of completing the stated plan and producing an actual remedy with an actual result that solved the stated problem.
Their MO is to state the problems, the same ones that they have been stating for decades, proclaim them to be unsolvable and then seek funding to comfort those who are the victims of their ineptitude.
They never solve anything. Never will. It's not in them. Nancy Pelosi as much as says this when she responds to the Prez regarding the opposition to the Reps proposals.
