Entry: GOP gets fiscally responsible -- denies veterans benefits Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/gop_gets_fiscally_responsible_denies_veterans_benefits#25916 Post contents: Republicans were for Motherhood before they were agains't it: On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest. "Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced. Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers. Including the Minority Leader. They did vote eventually to adjourn so they can go home and throw their mothers out of their wheelchairs.
