The do-nothing House under Boehner did nothing again about the relief to those who are still suffering 66 days later from Sandy. As though it wasn't insulting enough not to take up the bill, the reason stated was the that members did not have the 'stomach' to take it up.There are not too many jobs where you get paid the salary they receive after giving their oath to serve for the citizens of the United States, sometimes work Tuesday through Thursday, take very long vacations, and spend most of their time campaigning and raising funds for the next election cycle.
Clearly that issue is not at the top of the Legislative list but if enough people complain, perhaps the media would be kind enough to report facts instead of opinions for a bit and the public might learn of these issues. Speaking to a staunch Republican tonight, he had never heard of the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, and was unaware that Rupert Murdoch owned the Wall St. Journal as well as Fox News to which he was glued daily, I would like to see the media on MSNBC, CNN, Current, and all the local news go back to being journalists rather than opinion panels such as THIS WEEK and MEET THE PRESS put on .In their attempts to be 'fair and balanced' networks other than FOX bring on ridiculous people and do not contradict them. It was so refreshing to day to hear Andrea Mitchell actually challenge some of the lies from Grover Norquist. She is one who actually does her job fully.and has earned her respected reputation. There just aren't enough to do the same.
It was refreshing to hear some of the Republican Representatives find their cahones and censure Boehner for not taking a vote on the Bill to pay for the Sandy disaster. Was Boehner kicking the can to the next Speaker? We should learn that today. As bad as he is as Speaker, will Eric Cantor be better?
