So trying to get insurance for people who became sick when the government dropped the ball and told them it was safe to try and rescue people from the two towers and hoping that Republicans would be willing to show some actual human compassion is a five star chicken shit stunt?

I don’t think so.

I think a five star chicken shit stunt is when you demand that the top 5% can’t be taxed any more than they currently are even when the public supports the idea, and refusing to let any other legislation, even things that you claim to agree with go through until you get what what you want.

I would say “nice try” except you showed what I said then twisted it around to say something entirely different. Fail on your part.

“…you demand that the top 5% can’t be taxed any more than they currently are even when the public supports the idea…”

Again, quoting my words: “The vote was 277-148, with each party contributing an almost identical number of votes in favor (the Democrats, 139 and the Republicans, 138). Like it or not, you have a problem with 139 Democrats.

One more time for emphasis: Reid can bring the First Responders’ bill to the floor today. The Republican filibuster threat was removed with the passage of the tax bill. Action: Reid.

Sparring with lefties is entertaining and easy, but you don’t make it the least bit challenging.
