36 Senators voting NO for Sandy bill (All GOPers, of course)

The three amigos distinguish themselves, voting NO to the Lee amendment (cutting other spending to finance the aid for Sandy), then NO to the bill. (Did they think it was about Susan Rice )

So, do they really think Sandy people do not need help?

I guess they must be hoping that no one remembers when those states get hit. NC is #1 for Hurricane hits.

for his state when they had tornado damage? These RWNJs have no regard for the concepts of "government for the people" or "the common good".

droughts to the interior West. Let's see whether they demand spending offsets when they need money. Ayotte is setting herself up for defeat when she runs for re-election in 2016, a Presidential election year that is likely to be like none in history in terms of turnout. I hope that Hassan leads well in New Hampshire, as her past says she will. Ayotte will face either Hassan, Lynch or one of the two female Congresswomen and lose.
