I have always admired RP's loyalty to the Constitution. His NAY vote on Rosa Parks, and Arnold Palmer getting a medal, was the right thing to do. This particular situation of the 9/11 first responders getting their medical needs met, should be an exception IMO. The EPA lied to them and told them that the air was safe to breathe, and they are dying because of their exposure to it. I for one, don't mind paying for this. Hell, we've already bailed everyone else out, why not the guys who jumped in to help their fellow man. I'd much rather give money to these guys than those ******** at Goldman Sachs. I feel that this was an opportunity for RP to break from his usual stance on the Constitution, and make a powerful statement on behalf of the ones who were lied to, and are now dying because of it. This was an opportunity to make a statement about the criminal negligence (at best) that led to the events of 9/11. This was an opportunity to talk about how many of the unconstitutional wars, loss of liberties, and deaths that have resulted from 9/11. This was an opportunity to speak about how the majority of the 9/11 commissioners have gone on record, and called the investigation a fraud. I generally agree with most everything RP does. I have to respectfully disagree with his decision on this issue.

So then all people are equal, but some are more equal than others?

I think no matter how noble the action, if you are writing bad checks - which is exactly how we are paying for this, via bad checks - in the real world you go to prison. IN Washington DC you go home and pat yourself on the back. There should have been off setting cuts to pay for this.
Atascadero sure has a large number of idiots (laughing my ass off)
Read "Sockdolager", then report back.
I've read this before. I think the point will be lost on WS, as well as the other "liberal" posters of this forum. "Liberal," BTW, is a liberal mindset... with someone *else's* money.
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
Heh, that is a variation of my favorite quote from George Orwell's satire; Animal Farm.
