The White House has accused Congressional Republicans of holding disaster relief hostage to their demands for steep budget cuts. What clued them off? The ransom demand? Really, Congressional Republicans might as well just have stated their position using words cut out from magazines like an old-fashioned kidnapper’s note. “America! Send us one billion dollars in budget cuts in a plain brown envelope, or you will never see rural Vermont or parts of upstate New York again.” It’s hard to come up with an analogy more absurd than the reality here. If the Republicans were blocking funding for anything else, we’d be saying “What next? Are they going to block funding for disaster relief?”

They debt ceiling hostage tactic was far too successful for them not to do this again and again. They are just getting warmed up.

Hostage takers. Aren't you libs clever? Who takes hostages, why, kidnappers and terrorists. You've all turned into Joe Biden's sturdy brain, mouthing his witticisms.

You're all so devilishly clever.

How come you never used the hostage taker term when Obama took over GM and gave the bond-holders the finger? Or why didn't you use the term when Obama and Pelosi and Reid hijacked the entire medical care system in the United States? It didn't fit your politics, did it? You people are repulsive.

It was not a Republican that held the people of the USA hostage, when it was decreed, that you have to sign it to see what's in it. The line of scammers and crooks.
