Rep. Weiner GOES OFF On Republicans Over Blocking 9/11 Health Compensation Act - TPC
I love this guy
Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke on the House floor tonight in support of H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which was blocked from passage by House Republicans. Rep. Weiner addresses some of the false arguments Republicans were using in their opposition to the bill. The vote was 255 to 159 in support of the bill, short of the 2/3 needed for passage; 155 Republicans voted against the legislation, which provides medical monitoring and treatment to World Trade Center responders and survivors who were exposed to the toxins at Ground Zero.
F**k.
Once again, the GOP is “for the people”… How incredulous that the idea they lean on so heavily to scare the US
populationsheep (Terr-ists, 9/11! Hellfire!) they then shit-upon because it might cut into their golf buddies $10 million bonus and subsequent campaign contribution / lobbyist budget. Effing effers.
Maybe he’s not sincere and is just another politician that is full of shit. But it’d be hard to convince me of that after seeing this. Canada needs more politicians (and citizens) that have as much passion and anger for justice as Rep. Weiner appears to. Good on him.

Heat in the house. Damn, who is this guy!? I want the courage to do that someday.
WOW. Thank God for passion!
I’m not one for politics, but props to him :]

The remarkable thing about this is how he manages to be dignified and not curse.
“The gentleman is correct in sitting!” is such an epic burn, I can’t even stand it. I really need a chance to use that...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love Representative Anthony Weiner
Wow. I watched this and I actually started blushing and giggling like a little girl with a crush. I love this man.
Making all us New Yorkers proud!
Best ever, or best ever?
i thought i was the only one who had hots for him, but i guess not (:
