Everyone OK with this?

35. AND Californians. WE are "real America," too, dammit!

Btw - I just heard Ted Cruz interviewed and the anchor did ask him about the time he and his Senate partner voted against funding for Hurricane Sandy victims. He did NOT apologize. And the irony is still escaping him. He gave some sniveling pannywise/pound-foolish excuse because somebody had tacked on some amendments that sought funding for other projects outside of the needs of the Hurricane Sandy area.

FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! When there's a desperate need, is THAT the time when you nickel-and-dime people like that? And loudly claim you're a Christian? And better yet - claim even more vehemently that you're "pro-life"?

I think not. You send the help. You send the aid. You write the check. You make the donation. And you get the help to the people who need it, dammit. And you ask questions later - after the lives have been saved and the people have been rescued and have received the help they needed. I'm sorry, but a severe natural/national disaster like this is NOT the time to be a bean-counter. Not when lives are at stake. Unless you're willing to concede you're not really a Christian and you're not really "pro-life."
