Three months after some of his fellow Republicans voted against aid for Hurricane Sandy victims, New York Rep. Peter King is still furious, saying “nobody gave a damn” that there were “people close to dying in my district” and again calling out Florida Sen. Marco Rubio by name...
“Guys like Marco Rubio in Florida and all the money your people have gotten in Florida over the years from every hurricane that comes along and this guy has the nerve to vote against money from New York, and they come up here and try to raise money,” King said. “He can forget it.”

Take a pill.
People may have different opinions about whether the federal government should step in to assistance in repairing infrastructure that’s been devastated by a natural catastrophe, but that’s not the same thing as “welfare”. Now, handing out EBT cards like Reese’s Pieces is welfare, and there’s plenty more crap like that, and I don’t believe anybody on THIS SITE supports that kind of Democrat scumbagishness.
I work for the G, and I can tell you that 10 of millions of dollars are going to people to replace/repair their homes/businesses. WELFARE! Furthermore, taxing the people of VA to send money to the people of NY to replaced their roads is also WELFARE.
How do Rand Paul and Rubio think they are going to win the New York or California Republican primaries when they are on the amnesty brigade?
There is something very wrong with Marco “Amnesty” Rubio as a potential GOP presidential nominee.
So I don’t mind him getting dinged within the party—even if it was for fighting a pork-filled bill in this case.
