Senate Republifucks Shit on 9/11 First Responders
The Republican traitors in the Senate have blocked the Zadroga bill which would have helped the 9/11 heroes who suffer from physical ails that resulted from the poisoned air around ground zero in NYC…
Why? You guessed it. These pieces of dog shit have sworn to obstruct any and all legislation unless their precious Tax Cuts for their wealthy masters are implemented.
Filthy little treasonous, punk-ass bitches.
Fortunately, House Democrats have slammed the door on the Bush Welfare for the Wealthy while Obama’s fingers were in it. And I hope it hurts like a motherfucker.
From The NY Post:
Senate Democrat leaders could bring it to the floor again or attach it to other must-pass legislation in the final days of the lame-duck session next week. But Democrat insiders admit that’s a long shot.
Next year, the bill would face an uphill battle to pass the Republican-controlled House.
Gillibrand has said this was “the last, best chance” to pass it.
All 41 Senate Republicans present – including a at least a couple who like the bill – carried out their threat to block every bill until Senate Democrats finalize the deal to extend all the Bush-era tax cuts. A single Republican, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, was not present.
“The idea that tax cuts for millionaires would derail this legislation is simply outrageous and offensive,” Gillibrand said after the vote. “The men and women who rushed to the burning towers and worked for hundreds of hours on the pile did not delay and the Senate should not have delayed either, certainly not to give tax breaks for millionaires. We should not have to wait for tax deals to do what’s right.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Ried (D-Nev.) cast the sole Democrat vote against the measure, a procedural move that gives him the option to bring the bill up again later. Senate Democrat leaders expected the bill to fail but went ahead anyway with the vote.
Before the vote, Sen. Chuck Schumer warned Republicans that their excuses for killing the bill would “ring very, very hollow” for 9/11 heros.
“This should not be a partisan issue,” he said on the Senate floor. “I beg, I plead, I implore two great colleagues from the other side of the aisle – join us.”
He said it was “our last call . . . to step up to the plate.”
At this point I think the best thing that could happen to this country is for some grave ailment to befall traitors like Mitch “the Bitch” McConnell, Jon Kyl, Sam Brownback, Lamar Alexander and the rest of these pathetic sub-humanoids and they all just die. Just fucking die.
They serve no purpose on this earth other than to provide for the rich while robbing the middle class and the poor… The hard working Americans who struggle daily to succeed while these conservative parasites accept money from the corporate dogs and spoiled little rich brats they spread their old, crusty, sawdust-fartin’ asses for.
Become diseased and perish. That’s all I ask of Congressional Republicans. Fuck them, fuck their families and fuck those who vote for and support them.
