They aren't. But they are not the ones that have blocked mere discussion of every single thing in the Senate until they are guaranteed that the top 2% of wealthiest earners in the country won't have their tax rate raised from 36% to 39%.

Right Dell, the GOP is the "responsible party of no". LOL! Because concern for the wealthiest among us is SO much more important to our country right now than unemployment insurance extensions so 2 million people won't risk starvation for Christmas. Or 9/11 responders being treated as the heros they were.

We all know exactly who the current GOP stands behind, and what they stand for. They've made that clear as day.

You think that millions of the people that have been out of work a year and a half haven't already lost the house, gone through their savings, are depending upon food banks for food, etc? And "they" all have obese children? Two million will not have any money for food in two weeks. Yeah, that's a real LMAO situation.

You're a piece of work.

Read again I said nothing about ALL I'd revert to Michele O for stats on what percentage of those kids are.

I'd wager that the VAST majority of unemployed are closer to a job than starvation but then again I don't live in KY so it may be different there.

In my area many of 'the starving' are selling food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar. Same w/their prescription medicine. And a lot of their kids are obese!

This is indefensible, which is evident since the Republicans didn't even defend it. They just no-showed.

just an fyi-the federal govt funds clinics with free testing and treatment already. congress currently funds this on a year to year basis. the clinics have said that even if the bill just filibustered didn't pass, they have plenty of money set aside to continue testing and treament for some time. altho i'd have to think that the yearly funding will continue...however, there is still thinking that the bill could pass come the next congress.

But won't they be heralded as such at the muslim community center?

BTW how about going after the people responsible for 9/11 for retribution?

Where would the money come from for this health care for these people? Oh wait lets just take from Social Security and the Military's pay.

I think there should be a statue of each person that died on 9/11 right in front of the new tower.

i don't know all the details about the bill that was presented vs what was in place already. but i have to say i don't think that an emergency crew should somehow benefit from 9-11, whereas a responder to a run of the mill everyday sort of thing gets less. there are already things in place, including workmans comp, to take care of on the job injuries. i understand that 9-11 wasn't typical...but how do you tell one fireman he gets more, and another that he doesn't because he got injured on a less publicized call?

France does have some pretty good beaches. I used to love it when in Cannes and it was lunch time and the ladies working across the street in the shops would come down to the beach and just have thier thong on. France also has some pretty good tasting crepes.
