Have Senators Cornyn and Cruz asked for federal disaster relief for the West explosion?

Didn't both Senators vote against the Hurricane Sandy relief package? MSNBC just aired an interview with the community's GOP Rep. Bill Flores, who also voted against the Sandy package. I'm just wondering how deep their hypocrisy is at the moment.

as your apparent lack of sympathy for the dead and injured in this disaster.

Can we at least wait until everyone is found and accounted for, first? Once things have settled, then have at it with those two "senators".

Unfortunately those in power hold the rest of us hostage while creeping under the carpet to raid the bank that they so desperately try to undermine. It is fair to acknowledge this.


edit: I was responding to post # 3. sorry!
