ERIC CANTOR TO DISASTER VICTIMS: SUCKS TO BE YOU

You aren't getting anything. Unless Eric gets something first.

The victims of the tornados earlier in the year will still get FEMA's help, and so will many of the victims of Hurricane Irene. But, victims of any additional natural disasters that may occur post-Irene? Those people will be out of luck, if Eric Cantor has any say in the matter.

Even though the GOP happily voted "yes" to any emergency funding for disaster relief in previous years, now that we're entering primary season, they've decided that the purse strings are going to be secured with a Master lock. Unless, of course, additional spending cuts are made to the federal budget.

Who says to the public, unless there are cuts to education or unemployment benefits, or even an extension of the Bush tax cuts (because you know that's exactly where this conversation will be going), we're not going to fund disaster relief? Who thinks that that's a moral thing to decide?
I wonder if Eric Cantor also enjoys setting ants on fire as well, or maybe pulling the wings off butterflies?
