[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 757268, member: 9859"] Your starting to sound like Rep King, Repugs wanted to put in a lot of amendments that would affect things like the estate tax, capital gains taxes, Obamacare, Stimulus etc. They were told they'd be limited as far as amendments, and they didn't like it. Remember, it's not compromise unless it's 100% your side's way. Anything less is just being unreasonable. So Rep's and a very small contingent of conservative Blue Dogs Dem's filibustered it, and King did his best to make it sound as though DEMS were the ones who didn't support the 9/11 responders. Which set Mr. Weiner off. Bottom line is 94% Dems supported it compared to only 7% Reps. 93% of spiteful Reps angry over the rejection of adding irrelevant amendments and crying over procedures required the House rules to push the bill thru with a 2/3 majority vote(not a simple majority) exposing a true barometer of compassion on releasing these funds to 9/11 first responders healthcare needs. [media=youtube]1ZXar9bhTyg[/media] Pay attention AV8, that's Pentagon spending and bad US Foriegn policy. I know it's in your nature as well as the GOP, to misrepresent anybody who begs to differ with you, but at least don't put words in my mouth..... "We are not talking about cutting the money needed to supply American troops in the field. Once we send our men and women into battle, even in cases where we may have opposed going to war, we have an obligation to make sure that our servicemembers have everything they need." For decades, the subject of military expenditures has been glaringly absent from public debate. Yet the Pentagon budget for 2010 is $693 billion -- more than all other discretionary spending programs combined. Even subtracting the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, military spending still amounts to over 42% of total spending. [/QUOTE]
