With all of the hubub over Republicans holding the nation hostage yet again, another example of one of their endearing traits was overlooked: hypocrisy
Colorado Republicans who opposed federal aid for Sandy victims flip-flop with floods in their state
President Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration Sunday to help Colorado recover from the floods that continue to ravage many parts of the state.
Republican Reps. Mike Coffman, Cory Gardner, Doug Lamborn and Scott Tipton joined the rest of their state’s delegation in asking Obama to send emergency funds to Colorado.
Those same four Republicans voted againstt the Sandy relief package in January, and Lamborn voted against a smaller billion relief package less than two weeks later.
All three of Colorado’s Democratic representatives voted for each of the Sandy relief packages.
