Tornado Aid is "Totally Different" from Sandy Aid
« on: May 21, 2013, 12:30:11 pm »
says Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who voted against Sandy Aid.

Quote
Inhofe contended on Tuesday that the Hurricane Sandy relief bill was different because it was filled with pork. “They were getting things, for instance, that was supposed to be in New Jersey,” he said on MSNBC. “They had things in the Virgin Islands. They were fixing roads there, they were putting roofs on houses in Washington, D.C. Everybody was getting in and exploiting the tragedy that took place. That won’t happen in Oklahoma.”

Call me crazy but I think this bill will end up full of pork as well.

"Tornado relief is totally different from Hurricane Sandy! The tornado hit the red state that I'm from and that makes it totally different!"

As I posted elsewhere, Inhofe isn't alone--the other Republican Senator from OK is being a massive dick also:

Quote
The tornado damage near Oklahoma City is still being assessed and the death toll is expected to rise, but already Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says he will insist that any federal disaster aid be paid for with cuts elsewhere.

It's kinda bad when Inhofe almost starts to look like the more sane one of the pair.

And yet, people continue to take Inhofe seriously.

Inhofe’s senate colleague, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, also a Republican, said he would push for federal aid to Oklahoma to be offset by cuts elsewhere. Coburn also voted against the relief package for Hurricane Sandy.

That's because it's always a sure thing with these people. Has anyone ever notice how they love to bitch about these bills being filled with pork, but are always happy to part take in such activities when it benefits them??

Wasn't the whole charge about the Sandy bill being "full of pork" completely false?
