Where did the other two come from? Some kind of syphilitic mitosis?

They voted against the Sandy relief bill because the majority of it paid for the nonsense pork that got thrown in.

So if you aren't out cheerleader you are failing the nation? Their job's legislative. It's Trump who said he's going to shut down government which would be a much bigger slap in the face than any fake platitudes by a politician. And why are you suddenly trying to stir up shit PR? Is the kumbaya moment gone? Save your criticism for how they vote when it comes time to creating the billions in aid this latest disaster is going to cost.

And what pork was that? Cruz already got slapped down for lying about this. I guess you just didn't get the memo...

....all politics aside, strong and meaningful support coming in:Federal, State, the rest of U.S. and other parts of the world.
People know when to help...they're showing it!

But how can we get rid of them? It's just too bad they're quoted on everything they say.
Maybe if we could ignore them, they'd give up. Doubt it! Just saying.

Having been the victim of Katrina and the 40 ft. surge of water K. brought, I wouldn't have minded seeing an elegant caring First Lady in stilettos. It would have brought some semblance of normality into our world of seemingly total destruction...one side of town just disappeared leaving behind rubble.

Liberals, yes, but the problem is the leftists. The democratic party is now leftist. BLM is leftist. Antifa is leftist.

The idea is to help the people or get out of the way while others help... The storm isn't over yet and people are busy trying to save lives. there isn't time for every politician to make a grandstand. The president is always the exception in these cases.

So back in the office Pelosi has already announced that "Republicans must be ready to join Democrats in passing a timely relief bill that makes all necessary resources available through emergency spending." She also said that because the National Flood Insurance Program is expiring at the end of September, lawmakers must move quickly to ensure that affordable flood insurance continues to be available.

I know it's not a show of sentimentality, but that's what it looks like when politicians choose instead to roll up their sleeves and work toward actually helping the victims instead of grandstanding. The Democrats are ready to go... I just hope the Republicans agree with Nancy this time, because when New York was hit by Sandy, more than 20 Republican lawmakers voted AGAINST helping them.

Houston is a mostly Democratic city, so there's a good chance the Republicans will abandon them the same way they abandoned the people in New Orleans and New York. I hope they don't.

I was numbed to such things by the idiocy of the Obama regime and their continued disruption/divisive nature.

The pic posted on the internet was Obama serving in a homeless shelter a few years ago on thanksgiving. Obama hasn't been to Texas.
