New York Republican Rep. Peter King went to war with his Republican colleagues on Wednesday after leaders spiked a Hurricane Sandy relief bill, calling on New Yorkers to stop all donations to GOP House members.

King, after you voted to raise my taxes yesterday, I can't afford to donate to anybody. Thanks. Moron.

This is the most disintegrated I have ever seen the GOP since 1974.

[gibsosa]

Pfftt... done a loooonnnnnggg time ago. Had it with these peacocks...

[Night Hides Not]

Paging Davey Crockett!

I'm looking forward to the arrival of Ted Cruz!

Any aid package should be limited to rebuilding federal roads and buildings. (and other possibly defense related infrastructure, ports and such) I see nothing in the Constitution that authorizes them to take my money and spend it on private individuals.

[mikrofon]

I totally agree — we’ve given directly to relief agencies and charities that we KNOW will help the people affected...

[Night Hides Not]

I think tea party and like minded individuals gave the GOP one last chance in 2012. I think it is time to move on. If the GOP wants to come along fine but otherwise they can go pound sand.

2014 will be the last chance for the Pubbies, IMO.

On second thought, the upcoming debt ceiling is the last chance. If the Pubbies don't draw the line in the sand, it will never happen.

Does Boehner realize he's Speaker because of the Tea Party?

BUMP.
Clean bills. No more Christmas or Holiday tree bills.

[LeonardFMason]

FACT. Cut out all pork. NY is a liberal toilet anyway.

[TADSLOS]

It’s easy. STOP SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON THE GOP. Spend it on the lottery. Your chances of winning are better.

[RIghtwardHo]

Beat ya to it Mr. King.

Sarah Palin BTTT

Is it clear to everybody by now that we are being governed by racketeers. Does The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act apply to government officials?
Every bill that comes up is skimmed for special interests.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Amen. I wonder how many people even get the reference.

[uncommonsense]

King is an unabashed statist. Cut off his funding. Starve the beast he’s aligned with.

[drbuzzard]

I honestly see no logic in subsidizing people living in areas which are especially vulnerable to bad weather. On top of that, those areas (costal) are generally pretty affluent.

It’s bad enough we have effectively subsidized flood insurance, but aid on top of that is rubbish.

[miss marmelstein]

What a joke! I haven’t donated money to the GOP since they threw Christine O’Donnell under the bus.

[miss marmelstein]

Yup: the pork in that bill is disgusting. And I speak as someone who is in the middle of the Sandy mess.

[Gabz]

On top of that, those areas (costal) are generally pretty affluent.

Tell that to the folks I know in one of the 10 poorest counties in Virginia that lost everything in the storm........

Oh and don't worry - you're not subsidizing any of them - our county was denied individual federal assistance.

[FR_addict]

There was plenty of pork in the fiscal cliff bill — global warming, bio fuel research, Warren Buffet's railroads, etc. That didn't stop the Republicans from caving on it. Not any spending cuts, but trillions of new spending dollars.

The Sandy bill was peanuts compared to what they just passed. Besides Boehner could have taken the Sandy bill up sooner and amended it and let the Senate decide whether they wanted to go along with the amendments.
