U.S. Senate to delay disaster bill until Monday

1. If the American People are ever going to see the Republicans...
for what they are & turn on them for being who they are this should be the issue that does it...If not, then I guess the Republicans can do whatever it is they want & NEVER get hurt politically!

The Republicans are truly disgusting people.

2. More reasonable heads will prevail?
In the U.S. Congress? I doubt it.

5.  The ruling class
once again thumb their collective noses at the voters and we sit like the passive fools we are instead of flooding their offices with phone calls and E-mail.
