Andy Harris votes against aid to his constituents

[Pauliseum]

All Republicans cept the good ones....... Harris couldn't be bought! Looks like I'll vote for Andy again when it's time.

I look forward to cancelling your vote out. In fact, if you don't mind, could you tell me everyone you plan to vote for so I can do it every time?

If people are accusing the Republican~controlled House of intentionally holding off on the issue despite the need for assistance, then they would be correct ~ which is why Governor Christie was so angry and why the Speaker suddenly decided to backtrack on the earier decision.

The Republicans who voted against it did so because there were no provisions in the bill as to what would be cut in order to finance the bill. I can't disagree with that reason.

So Harris votes against the flood insurance claims of 800 Maryland families most of whom were his constituents and is lauded by the wing nuts who populate this forum.

And Oh yes...the bill that was voted on contained none of the pork from the original bill.

You would never know that is the reason listening to Schumer and Christie or Peter King would you?

The bill voted on was a merely a part of the larger pork bill so you're correct. However, there's no financing mechanism with this bill that was passed.

To him all that matters is that it is "the right thing to do" never mind the details.

These families paid their premiums and quite naturally expect to collect on their losses.

So are you thinking they, in some cases, should be left homeless while the insurer figures out how he is going to pay his bills.

If you were in their shoes your outlook would be different.

No I'm thinking if Congress can draft a bill they should be able to include a financing mechanism in it. That's like a store handing me a 70" tv and telling me they'll figure out how I can pay for it later

Lets see, Marion Berry. That is unless you don't make bail.

[BlandFood]

Why not be angry at the people from both parties that clogged the bill up with pork?

Until we do that the system remains broken.

And you're correct, is there a list of those that insisted on loading the bill up with garbage? Is there anyone that stood on the floor and called these jerks out?

Congress has been charging a trillion dollars a year for quite awhile now.

Why take a hard line on those who have flood insurance now?

Did you feel the same way about New Orleans?

I think we can't keep hitting the charge card. Eventually we have to pay the bill. And yes I felt the same way about Katrina. I'm all for taking care of people who have been affected by natural disasters, but why can't it be done the right way?

What is the right way? You buy insurance and you expect to get covered when you have a claim. But the some of the insurance company directors (congress) don't want to pay when disaster strikes.

All one has to do is remember that Andy Harris ran for office ranting against big government~subsidzed health care, only to have a hissy fit because he wanted immediate coverage to big government, taxpayer~subsidized health care benefits for himself instead of having to wait a month for his coverage to start.

It's that whole selective indignation thingy that makes the whole Tea Party persona of his laughable.

There is much more convincing evidence of a God than a man who would deny his constituents of their rightful due in their time of need.

Amen.

The right way is when you draft a spending bill in congress it includes a financing mechanism.

What man is being denied their rightful due?

I would like a specific name.
