Christie calls Cruz 'disgusting' over hurricane relief - CNN Politics
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Sen. Ted Cruz Wednesday morning over what he said was the Texas Republican's double standard in opposing Superstorm Sandy relief but requesting federal aid for Texas after Hurricane Harvey.
You dont care about other states' residents?
Do you side with cruz in not wanting to help blue states in Sandy aftermath?
They are calling for the National guard for help. I’m sure the leadership in Washington will figure out a way to help. I work with folks in Houston and know first hand the situation is pretty bad. They are experiencing my biggest fear losing electricity during cold weather. After 15 days without electric during Sandy I now have a generator and of course no outages since my purchase. Not complaining.
Texas leaders failed to heed warnings that left the state's power grid vulnerable to winter extremes, experts say
Texas officials knew winter storms could leave the state’s power grid vulnerable, but they left the choice to prepare for harsh weather up to the power companies — many of which opted against the costly upgrades. That, plus a deregulated energy market largely isolated from the rest of the...

What's happening in Texas is not the result of a government run system.
This is why we need to invest big money into infrastructure. This has been neglected for far too long. The electrical grid, roads, tunnels, bridges all must be overhauled.
That really doesn't make any sense in the context of what is happening in Texas. It is all private industry.
More government regulation could have, for example, required that these facilities be prepared for extreme weather events... but then people would be complaining about the burdensome big bad government forcing them to waste money on something that doesn't happen in Texas... until it does.
When the usa sends politicians to cancun to vacation, they dont send their best, they send ted cruz
No it does make sense. Who is responsible for legislation to protect their citizens? This is exactly what government SHOULD BE doing.
I’ve always been for government oversight and appropriate regulation. I just don’t want them to be in businesses that are more effectively run by private industry.
I am currently dealing with a significant condition that will need an operation. When i cross all the final bridges in recovery i plan to address this.
When message board posters tell you who they are the first time believe them...shame on you for slighting my current health and wellness...healthcare/health coverage is more than a 4 line post...i aim to really dive deep into this upon my current health scenario being taken care of.
Sounds like you’re in bad shape. That’s unfortunate and I wish you well.
But even with that this post is laughable from someone who tells us all that he is non partisan but only posts from the perspective of one side.
I was asking your opinion well before this health issue. And I wasn’t asking for a term paper. No shame here. It’s a shame if you are using that as an excuse just to dodge answering a simple question.
i believe this is exactly what happened. Texas went ahead against clear guidance to make their infrastructure disaster compliant
you post so much at this point. procedure or not its very apparent youre avoiding it. just wave the white flag.
if u do actually have a procedure i hope it all goes well but its clearly not stopping you from posting your opinions.
i dont think Hall85 will just forget about it
Geeze...
I hate Sagoponack’s a/k/a Scarsdale Ship Bottom’s posts .... but .... we are all pirates
smart people and bleeding heart handouts ...(jk) pirates nonetheless
I hope his health issue is not serious and gets fixed
Go Pirates!
well thats true, really want to stress i hope @NYShoreGuy is able to stay healthy and remain a long time pirate. hes a valued member of LOS too because he offers a different viewpoint from typical posters. and he always provides something to talk about, which is great.
I think he's just about worthless as a poster ;-)
However, I wish him well and pray he has a speedy and full recovery. Then he can return to the board with a full critique of the medical system as an informed consumer. Be well, Shoreguy!
back to texas LOL at ted cruz for being called out and bullied back. hes done his fair share of calling out other states during crisis. hypocrit.
wonder if texas changes their mind on some elected officials
wonder if texas changes their mind on some elected officials
Bad optics but I don't see what a US senator can do to fix the problem Texas faced. A US senator's job is to represent the interests of his or her state in the Senate, not to fix problems on the ground in real time like a governor or emergency management can do.
I’d generally agree except for how he has gone after politicians for similar things... but it’s not like anyone would care where he was if he just stayed home.
Cruz thing still a headline with basically all MSM outlets
If Trump were Biden (and they acted the same) headlines would be Trump hasn’t visited and it took three+ days to get FEMA relief
What Cruz did was a disgrace and his explanation of being a good dad was even worse. But since you bring up the MSM, the reactions on the Twitter to Chris Cuomo calling out people in Texas is hilarious.
