The Republican Death Panel for September 11th Rescuers

On December 9, 2010, in Insanity, by Ezra Grant

Republicans have hit a new low! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Republicans showed us today that they are more than capable of dragging the morals of this country down into the gutter. Today, Republicans voted against a health bill that was geared toward helping September 11th Rescuers, simply because their Tax Cuts to millionaires has not signed into law yet!

The bill, which already passed the House Of Representatives in September, failed to pass in the Senate today on a 57 to 42 vote. It was to provide $7.4 billion in assistance to the survivors and rescuers of the most horrendous terrorist attack on this nation’s soil, where almost 3,000 people lost their lives.

The Republicans desire to see the Bush Tax cuts for the rich extended is the only reason for their vote against the heroes of September 11th. According to a report by The New York Daily News;

Even some Republicans who might have backed the measure gave it the thumbs-down, sticking to a party pledge to block anything until the tax deal extending the Bush-era cuts for the wealthy passes.

There are still some strategies the bill’s backers can try to save it, but the failure enraged 9/11 responders.

“The United States Senate embarrassed itself today. It made a mockery of the political system that we believe in – and they failed us,” said John Feal, a Ground Zero construction worker who compared the GOP to clowns.

“I’m gonna buy 42 red noses, 84 big red shoes, and 42 tri-colored wigs for all the Republicans,” said Feal, founder of the Fealgood Foundation.

When we think of September 11th, we remember the horror of those that lost their lives on that fateful day. But thanks to the terrorists working in the Senate representing the Republican party, the heroes that risked their lives and entered the towers to save others, are now loosing their lives, and the Republicans voted to stop any form of help to them.

Republicans just voted to see these heroes die!
