House GOP scraps vote on Sandy aid


If I'm a Northeast Republican whose constituency was affected by Sandy......how do I look my constituency in the eyes and tell them to back my party?

GOP Rep. Says Boehner ‘Put A Knife In The Back Of New Yorkers’ By Blocking Vote On Sandy Relief

By Josh Israel on Jan 2, 2013 at 10:20 am

Rep. Peter King (R-NY)
A furious Rep. Peter King (R-NY) took aim at his own party in a Fox News interview Wednesday, a day after House GOP leaders broke their promise to hold a vote on a Hurricane Sandy relief bill. King said the decision by the House Republican leadership to scrap a planned vote on a multi- billion aid package amounted to a “knife in the back” of those hit hardest by the bill. The Senate had approved a $60.4 billion aid bill last Friday, but the House move appeared to scuttle any chance of a bill before the new Congress begins Thursday.
King said that after the move, he feels no obligation to vote with his leadership and suggested that East Coast residents who contribute to the GOP are insane. King complained that Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor reneged on their promise to hold a vote on the package, without explanation:
In his explanation of the events of Tuesday night, he noted that neither Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) nor Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) offered any explanation for the broken promise:
KING: No one even told us, the Speaker walked off the floor, told an aide to the Majority Leader that the Congress was finished. There were no votes and they come back and told us. Listen, I’m not taking this as personal offense. I’m talking about the thousands of people in my district, hundreds of thousands of people throughout the New York-New Jersey area. Within 10 days after Katrina, $60 billion was appropriated. Nine weeks after Sandy, not one penny has been appropriated. And let me just make this one point. These Republicans have no problem finding New York when they’re out raising millions of dollars. They’re in New York all the time filling pockets with money from New Yorkers. I’m saying anyone from New York and New Jersey who contributes one penny to Congressional Republicans is out of their mind. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans, it was an absolute disgrace. …
Why the Republican party has bias against New York, this bias against New Jersey, this bias against the Northeast. They wonder why they’re becoming minority party. Why we’ll be party of the permanent minority. What they did last night was so immoral, so disgraceful, so irresponsible. They’re supposed to be the party of family values. And you have families that are starving, families that are suffering, families that are spread all over living in substandard housing. This was a disgrace. They are inexcusable. And they have had it. As far as I’m concerned I’m on my own. They’re going to have to go a long way to get my vote on anything.
Watch the interview:

King noted that while national Republicans were all-too-happy to put Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) out as a surrogate during the 2012 campaign, with this move they “knifed him in the back.”
In a separate interview on CNN, he added that Boehner refused to meet with him and yelled at Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), “I’m not going to meet with you people.”
A fellow New York Republican, Rep. Michael Grimm, echoed King’s remarks, calling the leadership’s move a “personal betrayal,” and noting that “the people of this country that have been devastated are looking at this as a betrayal by the Congress and by the nation, and that is just untenable and unforgivable.”

didn't see this posted earlier, just posted a link officially in the twilight zone




Will there be a moderate and socialist two party system by the time I die?

 

[Brown_Pride]

i sorta see not wanting to approve the pork in there?
shouldn't they have made damn sure there was no pork in there if their focus was on sandy relief?

There has to be a better way to pass things outside of creating a 10 billion dollar bill and then shoving all types of shyt in there.

Why do they need government aid? Dont they make close to 250 billion a year or something. You'd think all that tax money was being stashed away for a rainy day friends.

Funny, why doesn't this rash of questions come when the south gets hit?

Either way, there's no way local taxes can't possibly cover the catastrophic amounts. And people from areas hit contribute to the government, why shouldn't they expect to be protected in return?

Because in this case i dont think its needed. Damage from sandy is totatling somewhere between 30 and 40 billion. If you made 250 billion in profits, why does the gov need to get involved? I think you should expect government assistance when you're strapped for cash, not when you're balling, friend.

Unless theres something i dont know.

Where are you getting this 250 billion in profits number?

Second, what makes you think that the spoils from this alleged profit isn't being funneled to red states and other low income states?

They gross 1.16 trillion dollars and have a budget of 132 billion dollars. You mean to tell me they dont have 30 billion for sandy reconstruction. I think the administration sees they do and have promptly told them.
