As someone who lived in a state affected by Sandy to those affected by the flooding in Texas... [View all]
First to Ted Cruz - FUCK YOU.
And to the rest of the people in Texas - we got your back. You can rest assure that the Democrats will not politics with the help you need. We don't care who you voted for in the last election or what news channel you watch. We kinda wish you'd think about who helped you out when you needed it but won't matter when you start coming up again with crazy ideas about FEMA death camps being built in abandoned Wal-marts and Obama invading your state. (We had a good laugh over that one)
In the end we are all Americans and we need to take care of each other. And I know that the bulk of the Senators and Representatives who were elected by people up here in the Northeast and Mid-atlantic Region - they will not play politics with the help you need. They won't call the Federal Aid you need 'wasteful spending' or 'pork'. They won't try anything sneaky like attach anti-abortion bills or overturn Obamacare with the passing of the Federal Aid that you need.
They'll just vote Yes because you need it.
I just hope that a few of you remember that come next election day.
FYI: 'You' isn't for DUers reading this but outsiders who come here reading this website. I know there are great progressive Texans that are members of DU!
