Ted Cruz (and the rest of the Texas delegation) are still hypocrites…

Well…I know, I know…I do a lot of these pointing out the hypocrisy on the right but there is so much of it that I feel compelled to expose it to sunlight and hope that people recognize that it is even worse than anyone imagined. The latest case is one of those headshakers…okay, no it’s not….not where repubs are involved…you’ve heard about the flooding in Texas that has done lots of damage and left many people without homes…and businesses underwater…..and you’ve probably heard the calls from the reps from Texas like Ted Cruz say the federal government should be stepping in right now to help pay for the damage…the only problem here is the hypocrisy of these statements; in fact dripping with it so much I think it may be adding to the flooding…a few years back, when hurricane Sandy devastated the entire northeast…Ted Cruz and the rest of the Texas delegation voted against any federal aid…calling it nothing but pork…so yesterday’s pork is now necessary since it is in Texas? I, for one think that it is part of being a citizen that you can count on your country to help in these disasters and when your neighbors or anyone in the US is in need, I have no problem with my tax dollars going to help them, that is what a society is about…but these venal asses in Texas should have to pay for turning their backs on other parts of this country as they wave their sense of entitlement when it is in their state….this has to be thrown in their face at every campaign stop….as long as they continue to be the hypocrites they are…geez…
