Obstructionist Republicans Block Aid to Victims

Senate Republicans blocked a bill yesterday that would aid victims of torture, disability, and disease, insisting the legislation would add to the deficit and demanding that Congress first act to lower soaring gas prices.

It would be funny if it were not so pathetic: these same GOP senators gave George Bush carte blanche for every military spending bill he wanted, but now these same senators worry about the deficit. Who in America still cannot see through this traitorous knot of neocons operating under the guise of being concerned legislators?
