You are stubbornly ignoring the simple fact that the only bill seriously in "play" was, by definition, the one that the Senate had already passed. And that is the one with 30 billion worth of solid pork in it. I'm nothing but glad that the House threw it out.

That the one crafted by the House (for only and exactly the 27 billion in aid money) would eventually be voted on was never in question.

You will not take one step from the party line!!!!
TOG, you have not read my previous post. I have never been a Christie fan and thought of him as being over rated. Nothing to do with party lines. I am conservative, not republican.
Big gay joe man rider, meh. It ain't just you hating on Christie.

$4 million for repairs at the Kennedy Space Center

$16+ TRILLION in debt and the grazy train keeps on rolling.
In with a disaster relief bill. The freaking nerve of these people.

Sorry, I'd have voted against it too and Christie is just playing politics bull#### because he knows damn good and well why that bill wasn't passed.

Lawmakers Outraged After House GOP Scraps Vote On Sandy Aid « CBS New York

Gov. Christie: Blame House Majority And John Boehner For Politicizing Sandy Aid

“There’s only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims — the House majority and their speaker John Boehner,” Christie said.

No, Christie, you are a leader and you are to blame too!


“This failure to come to the aid of Americans following a severe and devastating natural disaster is unprecedented,” Christie and Cuomo said in a joint statement. “When American citizens are in need we come to their aid. That tradition was abandoned in the House.”


Cry me a river. It is like they are not going to get any money. My kids throw better tantrums that Christies and Cuomo. Hey Christies, super size it!

What are you crying about,he was made a promise of help for his state and then the GOP turned it's back on them,just not NJ but NY,Conn, anyone devistated by Sandy,you need to go back to the home and change your depends.

In previous posts you proudly called yourself a Neo-Con. That isn't conservative, it's progressive-light.

Oh stop it. This is not a GOP thing and you know it. It's bipartisan assholery.

This has nothing to do with Christie Cream's desire to get Sandy victims on their feet ... Let's watch what unfolds the next couple days ...

Look another somd troll.....

Troll (Internet)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about internet slang. For other uses, see Troll (disambiguation).

In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may also refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."

While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[4][5]
