another Cruz Lie exposed
HuffPo. lol.
A union? Attacking Ted Cruz? Wow...color me shocked.
NOT. Next...
But St. Cruz prays you know! He is the ‘rigtheous’ one according to his Freeper followers.
Yes, his entire career has been in the govt sector but because he starts fights he’s considered an ‘outsider.’
Guess Alan Grayson is an ‘outsider’ too.
There's more than one union for firemen. This is the smaller, traditionally Communist one. Hence the "International."
The Huffington Post?
Union?!
Says all that needs to be said :/
The 9/11 Health Bill makes no sense to me. In New York City, firemen, policemen, and other city workers have excellent medical benefits. Why would these workers need additional health insurance or medical coverage? Are we supposed to believe that there are firemen — and I am a big fan of firemen, by the way — who worked on 9/11 and have lost or will lose their medical benefits? If they are still working, they have health insurance; if they’ve retired, they have health insurance; and if they have gone on disability, whether on account of 9/11 or not, they have health insurance.
I’m not being sarcastic when I ask: who would the 9/11 Health Bill cover, and why wouldn’t those people not already have medical coverage?
OK, what was attached to the bill that made it unacceptable? Hidden pork, some kind of freedom-killing new regulatory thing, some additional abuse of tax dollars? It happens all the time.
Cruz is an out and out liar, a sleazeball. How anyone falls for his bull is strange. Like a cult following in compete denial abut their leader. I would think it would have to be obvious to anyone with Hoy Spirit what a phoney he is.
“But what irks Schaitberger is that Cruz opposed reauthorizing the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which provides health care for those same firefighters and first responders.
More than 72,000 people are monitored by the 9/11 health program, and 33,000 ailing responders rely on it for treatment.”
Good for Cruz! The firefighters have insurance and workers- comp to cover all their medical. NYC can pay their own bills!
Most likely loaded with crap and being used to pass a bunch of liberal crap.
Honestly is there anyone against the firemen that day?
Cruz has also voted against benefits for veterans.

[snip]Ted Cruz voted to block further action on a bill that would have enhanced benefits for veterans including guaranteeing in-state tuition rates at all public universities for post-9/11 veterans. ....The bill would have improved benefits for veterans, including better health care and dental services provided by the VA.
Ted Cruz voted against providing $27 million for the Veterans Health Administration, as part of a $50.5 billion Superstorm Sandy recovery package.
It’s PORK
The lies Cruz tells are starting to pile up.
So I’m supposed to be on the side of the union here. This is news to me. This is the firefights version of school bonds: It’s for the children/first responders, so you can’t oppose it no matter how wasteful it is.
“That anger stems from Cruz invoking the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the work of the first responders in his remarks Monday night”
Cruz and his NY values comment probably didn’t go over well with them.
I had read that. The more I read of the good senator, the less I trust him. Donald called him ‘nasty, sleazy..disliked by his fellow senators.’ I’m beginning to think he was right.
