Glad the people of South Carolina can finally show the nation how to reject federal funds.

[SwimExpert]

Not sure if you checked but the folks from those states sent politicians that voted AGAINST helping folks in my state.

So you want petty revenge.

Bolling Falsely Accuses Obama Of Voting Against Katrina Relief Funds

While Obama voted against the 2007 supplemental spending bill Eric Bolling is referring to, he voted for the other version of the supplemental bill that included both a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq and a waiver for the Stafford Act that would provide relief to New Orleans.

In fact, Obama was a strong, consistent proponent of waiving the Stafford Act for Katrina recovery. According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune (accessed via Nexis), Obama had called for unrestricted relief funding in January of 2007:

U.S. Senate: Roll Call Vote

 

[Sallow]

Not sure if you checked but the folks from those states sent politicians that voted AGAINST helping folks in my state.

So you want petty revenge.

Actually no.

I want the folks who are in love with "small government" rely on the state government they hold so dear.

And see how that works out for them.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

They are hypocrites of the highest order, and absolutely shameful human beings for having wanted to deprive disaster relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Nevertheless, disaster relief should not be hindered to South Carolina today on account of the foolishness of these six people.

In this case, maybe it should.

The people of South Carolina sent those dipshits to the Congress.

Let them wade in their own folly.

If that's the case then let's cut off welfare to all ghettos. Let them wallow in their bullet infested hell hole.

 

[martybegan]

Was any intimidate aid denied to the NY area right after Sandy?

No.

The vote was on a bill so laden with pork and bloat, that was set up well after the actual emergency response that it doesn't even qualify as "emergency".

You are comparing apples and oranges.

Oh, stop it!

Nope. It's time the people of South Carolina were made to walk the walk.

That is one seriously fucked up state.

No, it isn't time for the people of SC to 'walk the walk'. I am not going to forsake the people of South Carolina b/c the two parties are playing childish partisan politics with their relief.

It's time for South Carolina to learn the meaning of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

They elected these cretins.

No money for you!

I am not willing to punish innocents just to make a political point. Perhaps that makes me a 'political fool' but at least I'll be a 'compassionate, political fool' at the end of the day.

That's even worse. You want to punish them for their vote now.

You want them to suffer for disagreeing with you. I see.

If you were smart, you'd see this as an opportunity to demonstrate how a more involved federal government can help the people, and in doing so you could win over hearts and minds. But you prefer to focus on petty suffering and vengeance. Good luck with that.

Why they voted against it.
"Being from South Carolina, I can understand the need for disaster relief,” said Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC). “However, we're over $16 trillion in debt, and this bill did not offset the disaster relief funds with spending cuts in other areas.”
At least some R's are trying to not add more to the debt. The Dems keep wanting to add more to it.

It's as simple as that.

And that was a ridiculous stance.
