Republican Who Voted Against Sandy Relief Spends Eve of Storm’s Anniversary Fundraising in New York

http://www.forwardprogressives.com/republican-who-voted-against-sandy-relief-spends-eve-of-storms-anniversary-fundraising-in-new-york/

Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn has made quite the name for himself. Unfortunately, most of what he’s made headlines for recently has been negative.

A great example came Monday when he was in New York City speaking at the New York Young Republicans Club, at a fundraising event, on the eve of the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.

Why is this so deplorable? Well, because Senator Coburn voted against Hurricane Sandy relief.

Nothing quite like voting against money to help millions of people whose lives were devastated by a massive hurricane—then, on the eve of that storm’s anniversary, you’re in one of the areas that was severely impacted—asking people for money.

Nothing would surprise me about them any longer.

It's all about 'me' and what 'I' get with them... the plight of others means nothing.
