Whole thing reminds me of this commercial.


Allow a bunch of Muslims to come in your country (one who's dominant culture is not acceptable to them,) and you're gunna take one in the neck. That's just reality. This 7 Bil is part of the price of ignoring that reality.

You're wrong. The bill is funded from sources. Including these heroes in a sentence expounding your personal Muslim hate and bigotry is unbelievable.

First, the cost is $7.4 billion to supplement NY workmans compensation and to cover the responders who were not from New York. And yes - this bill is funded by taking the money from elsewhere.

Of course, more important for the GOP to give billions in estate tax breaks to 6600 wealthy families than deal with helping the heroes of 9/11.

Secondly, these heros are dying of rare and severe cancers of the head, neck, nose, throat, and heart and lung disease. As young men. Those are not "normal occupational injuries" for firefighters, policemen, and ancillary workers (those that spent months at the site digging out the bodies of those who died) NY workman's comp will go beyond broke if they pay this out, so they are fighting WC claims. That isn't supported by the opinions of the doctors treating these men. The 7.4 billion would help cover these men and women's medical bills.

It is appalling and shameful that the Republicans in the Senate have blocked voting on this bill (they are filibustering it, and won't even allow it on the floor to be discussed, let alone voted upon) just for political purposes.

Instead of the GOP's public false outrage at the manufactured, nonsensical slight against Christianity they have made up, about working Christmas season, they should thank god that first responders don't consider working Christmas Eve and Christmas day a "slight against Christianity". GOP jagoffs. I was a paramedic for 10 years, and not one of these GOP jagoffs deserve the sacrifice any first responder would make for them or their families.

Jon Stewart did his whole show on this last night, including having 4 dying NY first responders on his show. Mike Huckabee was also on to promote his children's Christmas book, and Stewart went after him, too - and Huckabee had no good answers for the GOP obstructionism, either.

The GOP doesn't have a problem with the bill (not one has dared to say it's bad), they are refusing to let it come to the floor of the Senate for a vote, because the GOP fears that to pass it would be an obvious big plus in the Dems and Obama's political column.

The current Senate GOP are cutting off helping pay the medical care of these heros to politically spite a President and opposition political party they don't like.

Shows exactly where the Senate GOP puts their priorities - and it happens to be exactly where Mitch McConnell has said it is, publicly - for the GOP it's political games first, helping the country a distant second. If ever.

bad form for these gopers. I have a much bigger problem with sending money to all the other countries in the world than I do with taking care of our own hero's.

I would like to publically apologize to Riot for being a gi-normous dick to her for the majority of 2010 and 2009.

I couldn't imagine those same things being uttered to women. No one has ever said "susan, you are such a punk!" I have heard other names that are pretty rude but never punk, a$$hole or d$%k. No one ever called me a p@$$y.

Nascar, in your honor, I think we should make a special thread with gender specific insults. If you are going to tough talk someone on the internet, you have to be gender specific in the names that you call people. Threatening women with name calling meant for men is so beneath someone of your breeding.

I didnt know Anti was a women. No one is going to get away with telling me to STFU.
