. . .

During Whitehouse’s 15-minute speech, he criticized Republicans who dispute the concept of climate change while seeking federal assistance following disasters.

You can’t apologize for saying something stupid when you’ve been STUPID all your life. What you said, you meant because it is YOU.

Libs don’t care about kids as we have seen with Sandy hook. Right away after Sandy hook they went right into gun control rants. If they cared about those kids they would have been screaming about why there was no protection for those kids like the millionaire insider trading politicians they worship are protected, but they didn’t. They went right into gun control rants.

The worst mass killing on school grounds was in 1927, the Bath school killings where a psycho blew up a school and killed 38 kids and 6 adults so they know daaamn well those kids in Sandy hook could have been killed in other way, a bomb or worse by fire, but they don’t care. All libs care about is furthering their fascist agenda. What did we hear after the Boston bombing when that kid was killed? “Let’s not make any rash judgements, it may be right wing extremists...It may be the Tea party.” Matter of fact it was the same day the bombing happened I heard that, I think it was Chris Matthews who said it. Right away into furthering the agenda.

Notwithstanding the suffering in Oklahoma, this was an amusing display of the Democrat mind. But for the suffering in Oklahoma, no pity for the fool.

The Oklahoma Senators are getting crap for voting down aid for Sandy and now want aid for Oklahoma. I am split on this. On one hand why should anyone get aid? Doesn't the insurance companies pay these folks? I think it was pretty bad to turn down Sandy and then expect money for the tornadoes. I think they both should say no to aid for Oklahoma. I can't see how they can be hypocrites about this and survive the hounding they will get.

I wish others in Oklahoma would feel that way. They will stand in line to take Obama’s welfare big time. Sad how give aways are a way of life in red states no less.

What a jerk you are....spouting off as ignorant as any liberal. The Sandy bill was loaded with pork that had nothing to do with Sandy - it was another goodie bag and that is why they voted against it.

The Oklahoma senators have said they do want aid for the tornadoes, but only if it is offset with cuts elsewhere.

I hate educating ignorant boobs.

I stand by my statement. I pray that they vote NO to welfare. Of course you are a big government type who wants to continue to go into debt. You call me a jerk...ha! You are singlehandedly ruining the country by your appeasement to WELFARE! Is that because you are getting freebies from Obama????? YES!!!!!
