9. Yes, it is a political football that is convenient to kick around, like Benghazi or abortion.

They showed their true colors and feelings about the Afghan refugees with this vote.

11. That's their echo chamber at work

It’s all they hear.

4. No doubt Chuck Toadie will have 3 GQP and 0 Dems on MTP Sunday AM

To give them all an unopposed chance to clear the air and explain how they really are not engaging in pure skullduggery in this whole matter.

5. This is the kind of votes we should be able to use against them

in the midterms. They keep proving they're not really pro life, let 'em be homeless & hungry they say.
They bitch about not bringing more out of the country, now bitch that they're here.

6. Repukes. They are disgusting people, every one of them.

10. Republican hypocrisy in action.

12. Attention spans are as long as their foreskins

Such simple-minded dolts. Like the world wouldn't notice how quick these people drop a torch. It only appeals to "the base", who also has no attention span. Of course, the engaged rich who are funding these bigots can think for the long game. They see through the bullshit being strewn by the GOP, but they don't care as long as they keep getting their tax breaks and no government oversight.

13. They were so worried

that Biden might get a win for ending America's longest war that they were more than happy to throw our translators and other helpers under the bus to be murdered by Taliban.

15. Tom Cotton and the rest of the bigoted assholes....

trying to score brownie points .

16. You know, Earl, the only answer for the question as to why Republicans

were against this aid is the same answer for why Stephen Miller and the rest of the Kluxers in the Trump administration made it so the plan to get those out who helped us didn't work -

Racism. Plain, ugly, crappy, disgusting, despicable racism. They don't want brown-skinned Muslims coming here, even if they were our allies in a forever war, and we promised them we would help them.
