Republicans’ acts beyond belief
NEW YORK NIGHTS
We have just had it with the unforgivably mean, elitist workings of the Republicans in Congress. These hypocrites just voted to slash food stamps, pretending that they are giving poor people a chance to experience the dignity of working — despite the fact that Republicans have slashed state public sector jobs across the country and have doggedly fought to defeat every single jobs bill that the president has proposed.
Now, having lied repeatedly about the impact of Obamacare, they are rabidly bleating that they will shut down the entire government unless President Obama’s effort to provide healthcare to the 44 million uninsured Americans is defunded. And then they call themselves patriots. What nerve!
Well, here’s a suggestion: when Cruz, Rubio, Cantor, Boehner and the rest of them vote for the 43rd time to defund Obamacare, let’s see if they’re willing to attach a rider that says they would also be willing to give up their own top-fight, taxpayer-funded health care. Then we might take them seriously. Until then…OMG GOP!
