Eric Cantor's 'callous' disaster-aid refusal

Where are you TEAPARTY dirtbags. You mighty quiet on this one.? The heat from the gates of hell must be inching on you. Maxine?

If Cantor has his way, as he usually does, each dollar spent to clean up and rebuild parts of Vermont, New York, North Carolina and other hard-hit states will have to be balanced by cuts to programs targeting the needy.

JUDAS

over 40 people have died and many are homeless. and the sorrow for faimly who lost there loved ones and this money hungry mad man only cares abouting cuts what a shame may the lord comfort the familys who lost there loved ones. what are we becomeing were is the compasion for our neighbor . we need to help each othere out when in need.

Typical Jew

Sorry Eric--if you didn't complain about spending when your own party was sucking the country dry, there's no reason to take anything you say about it seriously.

cantor is a pig -
does he force spending cuts first for every dime he sends to his TRUE homeland= ISRAEL ??

Eric Cantor and his ilk are what's wrong with our country.... they want to take the country back to the dark ages so they can keep people destitute so they can control everything and grab as much money as they can.... all in the name of their false gods.

If I have a catastrophe at my home, let's say a water pipe bursts and floods my house, I have two options, fix the problem with savings or shift money for something else to pay for the immediate need. Since The United States has no savings, really just huge amounts of debt loan at this point, we should have to do the same thing. I think people get confused because they talk about the government just printing the money it needs, but it doesn't really work that way, we don't have an endless supply. And i know the other argument of just tax those that have more, but that causes a ripple effect that will negatively impact us as well. I don't feel that he is asking for anything other than for us to be responsible and figure out how to pay for this responsibly. It kind of sucks we have so many ME, ME, ME people who no longer understand the principles of responsibility and self-reliance.

because going "into debt every time there’s a natural disaster makes no sense whatsoever." - All I really needed to read

Wow, after reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you will be supporting Ron Paul in the presidential election. He will stop all unfunded wars and bring the troops home, saving billions. He wouold issue block grants to the states to do their own recovery, no Federal involvement. And he would make Americans become self-reliant and quite looking ofr others to take care ot them.

Most Americans don't want the government to help. Recovery would be faster and more efficient if government just got out of the way. All one needs to do is look at the track record of FEMA since it's inception.

WOW! What a leader. My constituates can die in a storm and loose there houses an property while I an my merry band of Tea Party Butheads play another negotiateing game about what cuts can take place to offset any spending money used to help huricane victims. Is this guy for real. After just having to deal with this Idiot ruining our nations credit rating while him and his Butheads refuse to negotiate and narrowly having to default on our nations debt. Now to hear him say this is nauseating. I got an idea for this Idiot. Everyone from his district that incurs a lose do to huricane Irene line up outside his office and when he comes out make him stand there and everyone wind up and give him a good old fashioned kick in the behind. It wouldn't help pay for your looses but man would it feel good. I'd even pay $15.00 for a ticket to watch and donate it to the Huricane victims of poor unfunded Virginia fund.

You k ow, I am just about ready to let the liberals have their way and spend and tax us into oblivion. Then we can have another revolution and exile them all to - I don't know - Africa maybe.

OK, progressives, we pay for whatever comes along out of thin air then tax everyone to pay for it. Where does it stop? When is enough enough? Answers please - if you have any...

cantor is another, living off the taxpayers, and on the take from moneyed interests, 'i got mine, up yours' hypocrite. let's cut off his taxpayer funded golden parachute and taxpayer funded healthcare, and see how he gets along! oh yeah, he's got all that lobbyist money in his pockets!

Eric was in israelwith $4,300,000,000 rushed back to tell us we are broke

Cantor should definitely stick to his guns as should all the tea party politicians. This is in line with their philosophy and we sure don't want any TPINOs (tea party in name only).

Given the me-first attitude of the right I'll go along with the trend. I don't live on the East Coast so it's not my concern. It's their own fault anyway for not putting money away for a rainy day or a very rainy day. We all know good Americans aren't supposed to get houses they can't afford well the same logic holds for these freeloaders who built in a hurricane zone. It's their own fault. No bailouts here.

If we can't afford luxuries like disaster relief we shouldn't be able to afford any recreational pursuits like wars either. Sure it's fun to bomb things and use those billion-dollar toys but if grandma has to cut back on Social Security and Medicare and she can't look to the government for relief to repair her hurricane damaged house it's a little inconsistent that we can afford supporting puppet regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq that are going to turn their backs on us the minute we leave. I guess there is consistency somewhere in TP Republicans but it's hard to find under the layers of hypocrisy, deceit, ignorance, arrogance and blind stupidity that makes up their doctrine.

Republicans need to repay the government for their unfunded wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and repay the Social Security Trust fund for their unfunded tax cut for the rich.

Virginians should remove Cantor in 2012.
