Is GOD teaching them a lesson? 'Do unto others as they should do unto you?'
WASHINGTON -- As frantic rescue missions continued Monday in Oklahoma following the catastrophic tornadoes that ripped through the state,
it appeared increasingly likely that residents who lost homes and
businesses would turn to the federal government for emergency disaster
aid. That could put the state's two Republican senators in an awkward
position.
Sens. Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, both Republicans, are fiscal hawks
who have repeatedly voted against funding disaster aid for other parts
of the country. They also have opposed increased funding for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which administers federal disaster
relief.
HYPOCRITES: In January of 2007, Coburn urged federal officials to speed disaster relief aid after the state faced a major ice storm.
A year later, in 2008, Inhofe lauded the fact that emergency relief
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development would be given to
24 Oklahoma counties. "The impact of severe weather has been truly
devastating to many Oklahoma communities across the state. I am pleased
that the people whose lives have been affected by disastrous weather are
getting much-needed federal assistance," he said at the time.
