For years Republicans have used 9/11 as a tool to win elections and drive home political points. They have consistently ignored the reality that they were in charge when this atrocity happened. They ignore the reality that their President, George Bush froze like a deer in headlights after the attack. We keep hearing how they 'kept us safe' after 9/11 by starting two random wars and making us take off our shoes at the airport.
Now our friends in the Republican party show us what they really think. For nothing more than political reasons they have blocked a bill designed to provide help to 9/11 first responders. The brave men and women who ran into the towers to rescue people while most people were running away, are now denied financial help, health care, and compassion by the same politicians who shamelessly exploited this disaster for political gain.
And why did they do this? Not just because they don't give a flying fuck about you or me, but because they are blackmailing the White House over the Bush tax cuts. Essentially until the tax cuts for the richest 2% of Americans is extended at a cost of several hundred billion dollars, these scumbags are going to block every single new law that they can, including helping the heroes of 9/11.
If this does not help you put into context what Republicans really stand for, then you are beyond help.
Shame on Republicans everywhere for these morally bankrupt and despicable actions. If I believed in Hell, I would suspect that there is a special wing of it for the bastards who act in this way.
