No aid for Oklahoma?

Post by dbackjon »

Hmmm - both Senators voted AGAINST Sandy aid, now asking for aid (and ass Coburn wants the aid, but offset by cuts to OTHER People).



This is highlighting the hypocricy of small government conservatism - only works in theory, for other people.

If only we had a leader like Bush.

He kicked Katrina's ass and the left knows it.....that's why they have to get the first shot in on this tornado. Its sickening how people use tragedy like this for political purposes....but look who they follow. Oklahoma has a few communities that need organizing.

But a horrible healthcare plan, continued war in Afghanistan, failure to close Gitmo, and impotent stimulus legislation are all cool under your guy's watch?

After we aid everyone relocating off the east and gulf coasts that get repeatedly battered by hurricanes.

Yes. Or just not continually provide them money to rebuild in that location....

Once again, your rush to portray yourself as "non-partisan" has left you missing the point - these self-proclaimed "budget hawks" turn into free-spenders when it suits there needs.

At least most Dems are honest enough to acknowledge they are big government people, not portray themselves as small-government warriors who still vote to expand the government when it benefits them.

They don't "turn into" free spenders, they've always been free spenders. They just want to spend the money on different things. :geek:
