- If you need evidence of the Republican Civil War you need look no further than East Coast written articles like this one. Though I am a west coast Californian I can hear the vitriol and outrage in this article. And it is pretty obvious those 67 Republicans have no idea how much anger is now turned against them from the Victims and relatives and friends of those who were devastated by Hurricane Sandy from both Parties.Remember the 67 Republicans in House of Representatives who turned their backs on Hurricane Sandy victims

Remember the 67 Republicans in House of Representatives who turned their backs on Hurricane Sandy victims
The worst of the phonies come from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, who came running for money in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. We bailed them out then, but they tell us to drop dead

(Clockwise from top left) Reps. Louie Gohmert, Marsha Blackburn, Joe Wilson and Steven Palazzo are four of the 67 House members who voted against aid for Hurricane Sandy victims.
There are 67 Republicans from the House of Representatives who voted against the first round of federal money to pay for flood insurance claims from Hurricane Sandy. You ought to remember every one of them, all these elected officials who seem to have all the qualities of dogs except loyalty.
The worst on this list, and the ones who come across as the biggest phonies, are the ones from places like Florida and Alabama and the Carolinas and Mississippi, the ones who have come running to the federal government with their hands out after their own natural disasters, practically demanding money.
Only now they think they have the right to act as if the residents of Breezy Point and Staten Island and the Jersey Shore are cheap panhandlers instead of good and proud Americans only asking the government to do what it is supposed to do, and essentially be their insurance company.

Rep. Pete King went after House Speaker John Boehner for holding up aid to Hurricane Sandy victims.
These are names to mark lousy forever, men and women of Congress who need to go online and look at pictures of what the storm Sandy did to homes and lives and dreams, what it did to hard-working Americans who played by the rules and paid their dues and their premiums and are now told by 67 House Republicans to go pull themselves up.
Perhaps the worst phony of all of them is Rep. Steven Palazzo, out of Mississippi’s Fourth Congressional District, which happens to be situated on the Gulf Coast. Apparently the government was supposed to come rebuild Biloxi and the rest of the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, but is supposed to tell Breezy Point and Staten Island and Jersey to figure it out for themselves.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, whose state was ravaged by Sandy, blasted his fellow Republicans for playing politics instead of helping those in need who were devastated by storm.
These are people who voted against money that is a fraction of what the victims of Sandy are entitled to, the part of the legislation - once House Speaker John Boehner stopped playing politics and games, anyway - that was supposed to be easy. Now these same people want to act as if their “no” votes were some sort of brave stance against pork-barrel spending added to the legislation in the Senate.
Many of these people who voted “no” on Sandy relief voted yes on a $50 billion supplemental bill after Katrina, and a $2 billion increase in flood insurance coverage. They include Graves of Georgia. Wilson of South Carolina. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Louie Gohmert and Randy Neubebauer and Kenny Marchant and Mac Thornberry from Texas. Bob Goodlatte, Virginia. Tom Price, Georgia. Trent Franks, Arizona.

Sixty-seven Republicans turned their backs on the people in Breezy Point, Queens, and all the other victims whose lives were upended by Hurricane Sandy.
King said: “Turning your back on people who are starving and freezing is not a Republican value.”
Sixty-seven men and women from Congress did that this week on Hurricane Sandy. A dirty dozen or so came from states that have had their own natural disasters. The people of New York and New Jersey got hit hard enough by Sandy. This week a bunch of Republicans came along and kicked them when they were down.
