To the GOPers outraged the US House didn't vote on aid for Hurricane Sandy victims:

cognitivedissonance:

I’m looking at you, Rep. Peter King, among others.

Why did you think your districts and states would not be sacrificed to the anti-government spending Moloch YOU helped create? What made your community special enough to escape unscathed?

Is it because you’re a member of the same party? If you’ve learned nothing else in the past two years, it should have been this: Party does not trump ideologues, nor does it trump their will to impose their ideology on everyone – including you.

You gerrymandered yourselves into this mess, and now have representatives unable to represent or even govern. They have no desire to even attempt to govern, only to break down what little functioning governance and cooperative spirit remains.

You are not immune from the consequences of your blind worship at the altar of no spending and no taxes. You will have to return to your district and explain to your constituents why they were not important enough to receive consideration from the U.S. House, a governing body incapable of doing anything but throwing temper tantrums because their hatred of the president outweighs their will to do their jobs.

Good luck with that.

Cheers,
Meg
