Strange how this comes up exactly when Republicans say they are going to block anything not related to keeping the government running.  More political theater

ah.  I heard it was because they vowed to block 100% of all legislation - until the tax cuts that obama caved on, are officially enacted.

a PR problem for repubs?

or a problem for the 911 responders dying who don't get medical care they deserve because the repubs (who have their WIN already) aren't getting the paperwork completed fast enough? 


Obama caved.  repubs are getting everything they want.  why punish the responders?

Fucking please how long ago was 9/11 again? And now it just happens to come up. Like I said political theater. I though you were smarter than that but I guess you drank to much obama-aid

I don't follow... 911 was 10 years ago.  People who were first responders - many of them have cancer today.  And they can't get treatment because the repubs are blocking this.

Just because it's 10 years ago doesn't mean they're any less heroic.

the point is why now, after the reps have already said they would not pass any legislation before the tax cuts is this brought up?

hmmmm

Dems need to make Repubs understand that they are perfectly willing to let the Bush tax cuts expire

Dems need to make the Repubs understand they would prefer them to expire

that's all they need to do
