I don't know if the 9/11 first responders law is a pork filled boondoggle or not. There is a lot of pork in DC - he chose the 9/11 first responders as the hill to die on? Stupid idiot.
If you read the thread here many are pointing out how full of pork it is. It is now 15 years later there have been payouts, they have better health insurance than almost anyone in the private sector and so forth so you are saying that for symbolic reasons or to look good he should have voted yes? Isn’t that the kind of thinking conservatives are suppose to be against?
“[Cruz] chose the 9/11 first responders as the hill to die on? Stupid idiot.”
Except that Cruz didn’t die on that hill. So, I guess being true to his principles in this case didn’t even hurt him.
