Or, he’s just callous about anything other than saving his own bacon for re-election. You decide.
From a Congress half full of asses.
10 weeks after the disaster and this is all they can manage out of a (still probably pared down from what’s really needed) $60 billion dollar request?
in two weeks. And Boehner always keeps his promises….doesn’t he?
we might see the additional 51M?
(Sorry – said ‘billion’, meant ‘million’.)
Total is to be $60 Billion, with second bill to be taken up Jan 15.

The Senate passed a similar bill weeks ago. I don’t think the Rs can not pass this now, despite Lamborn, et.al. But, yeah–12 weeks? Pathetic.
But I agree, Rep. Lamborn needs to address the apparent contradiction.
. . . ???
And where did Hurricane Sandy start? Or the Joplin tornadoes, or this coming summer’s drought . . . ?
And which way to you want Lamborn to address his contradiction? Screw ’em all, I presume? Actually, I see Lamborn as being completely philosophically consistent in that grandest Republican sense — screw the world, just gimme’ all you got.
Nearly speechless . . . I honestly hope that was an attempt at humor. Practice, practice, practice . . . elsewhere.
Get the UN to pay!
as a whole is an embarrassment but Lamborn is exceptional in his inherent utter hack worthlessness even among this group. Lucky for him and tragic for Colorado and the rest of the nation that he represents a district in which a Republican rock could win endless re-election.
Much to do was made of the reason/s boehner failed to do his job and put Sandy relief up after the Fiscal cliff vote.
A favorite that quickly emerged was the “it’s loaded with “democrat” pork” grift.
This one caught on fast, with pinko pol’s grabbing onto it with an aggressive attack approach that seemed legitimate.
Passion like this must signify a deep seated belief in a position.
Right?
Not so much, as it turns out.
redleg legistlators from 4 copperhead states……….Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana included “overdue monies for disaster relief re: Isaac and Katrina” in the Senate package, which went to the House for consideration.
Of those 4 states, 7 of the Senators involved are pinkos.
Forbes Magazine has the particulars.
See my comments here from last summer.

Pols, if you really thought that, you are a slow learner too. This is the Lamborn we all so well know and….well, know.
The Waldo canyon fire and the Tropical Storm Sandy were obviously totally different events. And comparing them is caazy.
The former happeend in Colorado (CD5). The latter happened somewhere else.
n/t
His Sandy aid no vote is shameful. He should resign immediately.
When you are a Republican that represents El Paso county in Congress, there’s very little that you can’t do and still keep your seat.
As the old saying goes, absent a dead girl or a live boy, Lamborn is a lifer in the House of Representatives.
Besides, the good Republicans of Colorado Springs probably agree with his hypocrisy and lack of compassion. Ask Schultheis, Lambert, and Cadman.
got really lucky when Joel Hefley held that seat for so long. A pig like Lamborn is no worthy successor.
yes, to the extent that Hefley was probably as good as we are going to get in CD-5. But remember that during his first several terms, Hefley was labeled more than once as the least effective representative in the country. He did learn to work the military money game and bring back the pork.
To his credit–and what enhanced his legacy from ineffective to respected–at the end of his career Hefley grew some brass as Chair of the House Ethics Committee. And although Hefley was as hard as Lamborn is to get into a setting where the public (as opposed to just friendly Rs) can ask questions of him, Hefley’s behavior was the opposite of Lamborn’s self-promoting, publicity seeking antics. In fact, Hefley’s reserved nature probably contributed to his being seen as ineffective.
My point was that, on a basic level, Hefley was/is a stand-up guy. Lamborn is anything but.
I remember a time not too long ago when Hefley was serving alongside four fellow Rs in the Colorado House delegation: McInnis, Schaffer, Tancredo, and Beauprez. Among those five, Hefley was the best legislator by far.
is clear reason enough why Colorado can not be trusted with a legislature . . .
. . . never again!
Also to his credit, I actually got a couple of personal, specific letters from Hefley in response to my letters disagreeing with him. Lamborn–the exact same short form letter every time with something like “your comments are important to me….” Not even a different stock letter depending on the topic of my letter. That is very, very, very lazy.
