Ebola is an existential threat that will kill us all unless Obama does a number of things right now, and we are all outraged that the government is not doing more to protect us, and even as we speak Ebola could be sneaking across our southern border headed for Arkansas (because all foreign threats gravitate toward Arkansas),
and by the middle of next week Fox News will have devolved into a Lord of the Flies-esque free for all in which the Fox & Friends have run amok and are now biting the other hosts because they've gotten Ebola and zombieism mixed up and are convinced they've come down with both. It's that serious.
But never mind all that, because some Republican noticed that responding to Ebola would cost money.
okay they have of late been trying to somehow blame PRES. saying the Ebola victims will join with Mexican Cartels and cross into the country through our "POURUS" border to the south no mention of our other 3 borders was that sucker punch to Hispanic voters you know like the kids having calves the size of melons from carrying drugs, now they are carrying the Ebola virus republicans are they using paper or plastic bags?
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, has withheld approval of the funds in the Senate, saying that it would add demands on a defense budget already stretched thin.
A spokeswoman for Inhofe said Thursday that there is no change in his decision after approval from the other committees.
If we stopped Ebola, you see, it means we would have to not bomb somewhere else. You can see the dilemma. Sen. David Vitter is also not on board with the plan to help quell the Ebola outbreak. In his case it's because he thinks we shouldn't be bothering to help shut the epidemic down in West Africa, he thinks we should just seal our borders and let things play out as they may. Not really kidding on that one.
Vitter said more should be done, suggesting the administration should bar foreign nationals from countries dealing with Ebola from entering the U.S. “Instead of using powers given to him, the President is requesting $1 billion for a plan that has not been presented to members of Congress, focuses on Africa, and largely ignores our own borders,” he wrote.
Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health have said isolating West Africa could make the situation worse.
they can be so thick that they only see Black faces and only hear Africa or that they don't really believe there could be an outbreak here like they have been trying to scare us with, have they forgotten Bush's doctrine "fight it over there so we won't have to fight it here" change of them to it should be okay with them after all they only changed one word in their autopsy overhaul "VALUES" to "PRINCIPLES". racism and bigotry definitely blinds you to what's in front of you and only affords you rear vision.
