The national GOP's "first response" in Congress to the Minneapolis bridge tragedy was horrible.

I was researching this for the Dump Bachmann blog and looked at the roll call votes in Congress on Friday, August 3rd. Bachmann's vote aside, I was disgusted by what I found out. It's not just a local partisan problem, it?s a national partisan problem.

A bridge collapses on a busy highway in Minnesota; people are dead and missing, divers are feeling their way through the murky waters of the Mississippi looking for bodies and vehicles--and almost all Republicans voted to adjourn without voting on emergency funds that the President had already promised.
