Trying to Cock Block Tornado Relief

The country has been in the throws of some crazy weather the last couple months. Joplin, Missouri has been hit especially hard after a tornado leveled the town and left 119 dead. President Obama told survivors on Monday "We're here with you. We're going to stay by you." Exactly what you would hope a smart and compassionate person may say............
Bring on the Republican stupid! In response, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said (from the Washington Post):

 "If there is support for a supplemental, it would be accompanied by support for having pay-fors to that supplemental," Mr. Cantor, Virginia Republican, told reporters at the Capitol. The term "pay-fors" is used by lawmakers to signal cuts or tax increases used to pay for new spending.

Yes, you read that right. Rep. Cantor is suggesting that if the government is going to provide assistance to the victims of the tornado, there are going to have to be cuts to other programs to make up the difference. Which we all know, from recent history, would turn into a huge fight, with Republicans making outrageous demands.

The lack of care or concern for the victims in Missouri belies a larger problem in the Republican party-they don't care about the citizens of this country so much as they care about their own re-election and people making over $250,000 a year.

And the Republicans would like to delay funding while they fight with Democrats over what to cut to help these people. Perhaps I am too much of a bleeding heart Liberal (for reals, I have a Libertarian friend who calls me that), but that just seems fucked up.
