but mine is all the people who lost family members and all the people directly injured by the blast are victims. If you mean something different than that, perhaps you should define it succinctly. Because all I'm seeing at the moment is more of the same and insensitive "punish Texans for the actions of our politicians" kind of rhetoric.

Please do remind our senators and representatives directly of their voting record, even as you allow the federal government to offer assistance. What's so hard about doing that? People are injured or dead, homes lost, personal (that is, non-corporate) and public property destroyed, and all the Anti-Texas DUers can think of is to disallow that assistance just to punish our elected officials. Do you see how insensitive that is? Or do I need to get out the dictionary?
