Well, you can say what you want about then politically and they are putting their money where their mouths are...

Unlike many Repubs in Texas who are either in Cancun or largely absent.

 

[Champakian]

Excuse me, but you have conflated two different things.

They are raising money which means that
they are putting other people's money where their mouths are...

You should have posted this in the politics forum.

Ooops, I did post this here by mistake.

No conflation though....chuckles.

Question is. For what reason.

You're really fucking stupid.

Why does it matter? Money is money right?

 

[Saint_Ann]

Nobody better suited to taking and using other people's money than a couple of socialists.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

Nobody better suited to taking and using other people's money than a couple of Democrats who are saving a Red State becuase they know how government should work.

I know, right?

Lookup that went right over your head.

Question is. For what reason.

If you have no water, no power, and the burst pipes mean you have no dry clothes or bed, do you care that the aid you receive might boost someone's popularity with the voters?

Nothing political about this. AOC just provided a good old fashioned butt kicking to Cruz. Mr Cruz "Nothing I can do here. Might as well take a vacation where it is warm." AOC "How about we raise some money to help those people in TX." Doesn't matter what your politics are. You have to admire a good take down. On second thought. This might belong in the BDSM forum. Ted might be feeling a little pain about now.

I love this fuckin' place. Straight up.

These people try to do the right thing, the humanitarian thing to help citizens IN A CRISIS, mind you, and yet still, there are idiots- selfish, hateful ignorant people- who will still call them "Socialists" for it.

Because helping people in a crisis is socialism, or something.

It is precisely because of that, that I believe the U.S. may ultimately be doomed as a first-world country.

Perhaps. But then Griddy and a few other Texas power companies said ‘Whoa, good buddy. Hold my Budweiser.”

The ol’ Lone Star state’s power companies are not being to independent or looking for less government now... got their Boss Hogg hands out for some of that ‘other people’s money’.

Almost socialist like.

AOC has done more for the state of Texas in a couple of days, than Patrick, Cruz, Paxton and their fellow (R)s have done all last week, combined.

The crowd and signs demanding Teddy’s resignation when he returned from Mexico tells you all you need to know, as to what the folks in Texas think of his efforts.

Just wait until Texans start receiving their electricity bills....

She's not from Texas.
It's not really any of her business.
It is political because it is a targeted response.
It is a political figure with a high Q-rating taking advantage
of her ability to garner camera time and use it to attempt to embarrass
a fellow Congressperson of the other party; it is not altruism, it is a cynical ploy.

Exactly. And the "crisis" ended last Fri. Perhaps the money could be used to buy one-way buss tickets for the TX homeless to LA?

You have to screen them for Spanish language fluency if they are to fit in...
