McCain bailed out the NY banks to the tune of $700+ Billion but attacks $7.4 Billion in health care expenditures for 9/11 first responders.

Fail.

[Lancey Howard]

Yeah, $7.4 billion dollars to a bunch of scumbag NY lawyers. And ten years from now, another $7.4 billion. Some people will never stop milking that cow.

Gimme a break. I’m in Philly and I think some of the ash blew down here (cough cough, I think I’m sick), gimme a few million, okay?

Last I checked, the hijackers were all from Saudi Arabia. If 19 Americans went to Saudi Arabia, hijacked camels and slammed them into Mecca, wouldn’t the Saudis expect the U.S. to compensate the victims of the flying camel debris for damages? So, why are we having the taxpayers pay for this considering in wasn’t us who committed this atrocity? I have eternal respect for those who responded to the 9/11 attacks and pray for them everyday, but why are we NOT having the Saudis pay for this? They are, after all, one of the richest nations in the world and it was their citizens who are responsible. Welcome to bizzaro world.

McCain’s comments sparked an immediate and angry response from New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who said the legislation is deadly serious to the workers who have died or fallen ill to cancer or other diseases from exposure to toxic debris.

And the RATS have dusted off the same crap year after year for the past four. Schumer (from NY, BTW) should be ashamed of himself for not getting this passed YEARS ago. He's just about worthless.

Why do ground zero workers have so much trouble with New York's workmen's compensation claims?

Fail.

Summarized perfectly.

Except for the addition of the continuing, bottomless litigation the lawyer class will generate from this if liability is admitted, especially at the national level.

I think these men deserve complete compensation. And not a dollar to their lawyers. Let's see how far that proposition advances...

And where, exactly, is the Federal responsibility for a city, county, and state liability matter like this invoked?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

McCain’s Remarks on 9/11 Bill Draw Democrats’ Fury
McCain's remarks renders Dems incontinent going all holier-than-thou on 9/11...

[calcowgirl]

McCain complained that Democratic leaders needlessly stalled a vote on a missile treaty with Russia “after all of the fooling around we’ve been doing”...

EXCELLLENT. Stall, delay, and do anything necessary to stop START.

No surprise, McCain is standing with the Dems on this one.

...New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who said the legislation is deadly serious to the workers who have died or fallen ill to cancer or other diseases from exposure to toxic debris. Would someone please explain to me how something could be deadly serious to someone who has died. I guess Schumer must attend seances and probably solicits votes at the same time.
