And Be Offended If Anyone Reminds Them of Their Hypocrisy
One of the hallmarks of the Texas Republican delegation to Congress is that they don't want to do anything for anyone other than people for Texas. So when Hurricane Sandy hit the hated northeast they were pretty vocal in their condemnation of having the feds pay out money to help that area.
Of course now that Texas is the victim the voices will change. We have already seen Freedom Caucus member Pete Sessions (R, Tx) go on TV to try and justify what will be tens of billions of dollars of help he and his fellow craven conservatives will beg the from the federal government. Haven't heard much yet from Sen. Ted Cruz (R, Tx) who will surely sanctimoniously crawl to he government for help. And no on will suggest that the state of Texas itself pay a large part of the bill.
Dems will probably support aid, because deep down unlike most conservatives they believe government has a role in helping everyone, not just one's constituents.
