Anyone in Texas who voted for this POS should feel ashamed and get on their knees and ask forgiveness for their stupidity. If they do not feel stupid then whistle for help from the feds. I as one taxpayer do not consent to my tax dollars being spent on stupid people, ask Teddy to help you with your flood problems along with you idiot governor. They want to succeed from the union so badly they better start learning how to take care of their own problems and stop running to Uncle Sam to bale their ignorant ass out of trouble. If Texans cannot elect people who have a brain then suffer the alternative.

despite the fact that they will already see a dip in tax in come from the losses in the energy sector here. Roads and bridges are washing away now. I"m sure they'll find a way to blame Obama.

Anything you gentlemen want to say to the people affected by Superstorm Sandy? Remember that? You all voted against any disaster aid for those victims. If any money was going to get paid out of the federal treasury, you guys demanded that revenue for someone else get cut. Remember?

Anything you knuckleheads want to say to the rest of the country now that it's your constituents hanging onto debris, floating through raw sewage?
