GOP blocks vote on 9/11 responders
Last Thursday, the Senate Republicans prevented - filibustered - the House-passed bill providing health care to 9/11 responders from coming to the Senate floor for a vote. All 42 Republicans voted against bringing this bill to the Senate floor for a vote. Because, you know, it's not important for the Senate to discuss and vote upon this issue. At least the minority sez so.
Thus, the bill is currently dead. The hilarious - well, pathetically sad - thing is this: Faux News has an op-ed, complete with sad music, railing against how evil "the Congress" is for not helping the 9/11 responder heros - while completely failing to note it was 42 Republicans - and zero Dems - who prevented this vote and are entirely responsible for this bill's failure. Go, "fair and balanced" ! And emotionally overwrought <g> http://mediamatters.org/blog/201012130016
