The party in power always does this.

My point is that’s an objective bad reason to dislike someone.

And my point is, it's disgusting to reject assistance for others and then turn around and beg for it for one's self. Your implied argument that he voted no because ' there was unnecessary things in it' falls flat when there was likely unnecessary funding in the recovery bill that he was begging people to approve

You’re missing my point entirely.

Ted Cruz is not the only person who does this. Almost all politicians do.

A ton of democratic congress members are voting against Florida relief for Ian, after they wanted support for Sandy relief.

Hate politicians for their beliefs, not their party line votes.

It’s just odd and misinformed to call out Ted Cruz specifically when it’s not something only Ted Cruz does.

If that was your intended point, you completely missed making it in your first post

Your inability to read is not my problem. I’d work on that if I were you.

I would reread what you wrote, you made no mention of other politicians doing the same, only that these types of bills have funding for things other than assistance.

> I’m no Ted Cruz supporter, but let’s not pretend politicians don’t stuff these kinds of bills with provisions completely unrelated to the relief effort.

Here I made it really easy for you.

No go away and try to find some internet FWB on Reddit ya weirdo.
