It's very comforting to know that if something happens during the hurricane, like, say, devastated buildings, damaged infrastructure and ravaged towns, Congress will be here to help!
Wait, what?
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) is insisting that “any potential emergency disaster aid be offset by spending cuts.” Huffington Post reports that “Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring on Friday declined to say where Republicans would look to make cuts to pay for a potential storm aid package.” Speaker John Boehner’s spokesperson “ducked the question altogether when asked if Boehner agreed with Cantor’s call for offsets for emergency aid.” Boehner and Cantor’s position is “a break from a bipartisan tradition” of immediately appropriating funds to help those in need following a natural disaster.

I have an intense hatred for this man that borders on psychopathology.
Every time I see that little rat fuck on MSNBC, I am filled with rage.
These people need to go.
And yet they won't go. Too many people are "values" voters intent on having the right wing protect them from the dangers of abortion and gay people, and thus allow them to destroy our economy and infrastructure.
In short, there are too many idiots in this world, as evidenced by...well, the right wing.
