1. Disaster aid should be withheld from those districts. Perhaps their constituents would wise up then.

[Archae]

3. I live in one of those districts.

Glenn Grothmann's.

Yes, I do know that Grothmann would be at the front of the line if disaster money was needed here.

[dubyadiprecession]

7. Don't bet on them.

They want their hand outs, but they will call you a “taker”, if you put your hand out.

The hypocrisy never ceases in the Republican Party.

[Scoopster]

2. Note that Justin Amash is on this list.

If you were thinking he was a moderate just because of his stand on impeachment, think again.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Yeah, that is why I never "single issue" support for anybody...

In the final analysis, Amash is still a Libertarian, the worst form of conservative.

[Celerity]

17. libertarians are bad news, but a hard RW fundie xian type is worse IMHO

True libertarians are usually pro-choice (or at least totally against the government getting involved), are pro-privacy, anti war on drugs, and usually against wars of empire. They are absolutely rotten on other issues, but fundies are usually on the wrong side of all those previous issues.

[we can do it]

8. Yes, and thank you.

[SCantiGOP]

11. re: Amash

He certainly has never claimed to be a moderate. He pointed out to his constituents that he has voted for less spending than any other House member. That means less for healthcare, public safety, infrastructure, etc. He was elected as a Tea Party fanatic.
Give him the tiniest credit possible for at least recognizing that Trump is both a criminal and a reckless spender.

[tosh]

13. Libertarian.

Nothing more to say.

[Afromania]

14. A republican is a republican to the bone. Never show your back.

[Phoenix61]

4. Unbelievable two are from Florida.

I’ll definitely be on the phone with them. Guess they don’t realize the Panhandle is part of Florida.

[SCantiGOP]

12. Beat you

The much smaller state of S.C. has 3. We win the race to the bottom.
But all three are fiscal conservatives, meaning they are not in favor of spending unless 1) it’s in their district, or 2) it directly helps their re-election.

[spanone]

5. And when a disaster hits their districts they will be the first ones with their hands out....

fuck these heartless bastards.

[Bengus81]

19. We have a disaster in Kansas,didn't stop Estes from voting NO...

They all want CASH for Trumps monument to himself and SCREW everyone else. They pull this shit because they know they will STILL get a majority of Republican votes in 2020.

STUPID is as stupid does.............

[beachbum bob]

9. need to rememberwhen disasters hit their home states

[ProudLib72]

10. So long as the farmers hurt by tariffs are taken care of

Just think of poor Chuck Grassley!

[MontanaMama]

15. I see our thug congressman on the list.

Greg Gianforte as well as the usual serial offenders. How and why are so many people duped by these assholes?

If he won't approve a bill for disaster relief I wonder what will he do when this state burns down...
