Dems: Congress's Styrofoam cups could cause cancer

A group of Democrats complain Styrofoam cups in the House cafeteria could contain carcinogens.

In a letter to Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) and other Republican leaders, the nine Democrats say the Styrofoam cups and other dining materials could hold chemical components that could cause cancer. The Democrats are upset with the switch to Styrofoam from recyclable materials put into place when Democrats ran the House.

The letter asks Boehner to reconsider the switch away from recyclable to polystyrene-based foam containers, and warns that the health of visitors to the Capitol could be compromised.

If it is such a health issue it should be removed from the public.

But they never even attempted to ban Styrofoam cups as far as i know. Other then the time they tried to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide.

If styrofoam is poisonous why didn't they outlaw it. Styrofoam is fine for the masses but not for these sleazy, narcissistic pickpockets. One day they'll wake up and the Capitol will be surrounded by a million people with pitchforks and torches.

Interesting. Out of the entire herd of Democrat moonbats, only 9 (nine) were willing to sign their names to this.

"The irresponsibility of the decision to use polystyrene foam without considering other options is all the more egregious because the cafeteria is not merely used by House members and our staffers," the lawmakers write. "

How the hell do they know whether or not other options were considered? They didn't ask any questions, they went straight to "politically-correct" attack-mode.

These Human appearing life forms called Democrats highlight, and support homosexuality that can give far more than just cancer.

Over time, exposure to the styrene that leaches into food and liquids can cause extensive health effects, including fatigue, headaches, hearing loss, central nervous system dysfunction, difficulty sleeping, as well as low platelet and hemoglobin values and chromosomal abnormalities.

AHA! This explains the behavior of the Dems... They are all becoming MUTANTS... If they aren't already :)
