1. The Repigs are cowards
Talk it up, delay but, NOT ONE wants to go on record voting NO on that bill. Hey, I'm not complainin - just sayin.

I'm happy and yet sad for those who have past, their families and those that are suffering now.

9. After everything they used 9/11 for, they dare not vote against it
They still should be shamed of how they used it in the obstructionist games.

11. There must be enough tape to run
when they're up for re-election. I love it when the hang themselves with their own lying mouth. Remind people that only after a lot of arm twisting did they get on board.

8. My guess is that they started the negotiations with room to bargain.
Schumer is too smart not to know how to do this...

6. Fox News blatantly lies about 9/11 health care bill
Watch as the media arm of the Republican Party blatantly lies about Republican obstruction of the 9/11 health care bill, with the GOP lapdogs not only ignoring that all forty-two Senate Republicans blocked the bill less than two weeks ago, but saying that the "Democratically-controlled House killed it back in July," not mentioning that it was House Republicans who voted against it en masse.
