The GOP will filibuster ANYTHING supported by Democrats, even disaster relief

by

The GOP will filibuster ANYTHING supported by Democrats. Think I’m exaggerating? I’m not. Here’s proof. On Monday, they filibustered a bill that would fund disaster relief to areas recently devastated by hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and flooding. The bill passed with a 53-33 majority but — BING! — it was a cloture vote meant to end a Republican filibuster so it needed 60.

They did eventually pass the bill but, even then, 38 Republicans voted against it. Here’s the rogue’s gallery of heartless bastards:
