“The senator insisted that CDC funding has increased, but said that the CDC should use whatever resources it needs.” Why is the media allowing repugs to continue to tell this lie? They cut funding, it’s a matter of public record.

Why the hell don’t the democrats call the Republicans on their lies again and again?
They sit their spewing falsehoods and democrat politicians take it, so people start to believe the lies.
Why?

Crowley’s “grilling” was little more than her paving a path for Crud to spew the standard GOTP approved talking points. Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General cannot be a health care professional becuz he’s not a gun nut and BENGHAAZZIII!!@Q!!1!!
And if the Center for Disease Control needs more money they should be doing what all good underpaid and starving 'Muricans are doing during these times of record Corporate Citizen profits.
Playing Powerball.

Because Democrats aren’t willing to fight and fight hard. I mean, if I was head of the DNC I would be running ads across the country in which McConnell’s vow to stop Obama at any cost would be the focus- along with a notation that the GOP filibustered more bills in the last six years than had been filibustered in pretty much the entirety of the nation’s history. I would be running ads in which the GOP is heard voicing their views of the lower classes along with the tagline “they’re not talking about someone else- they’re talking about you- their base”. I would be questioning their patriotism from sea to shining sea!

But that would not be polite. And Dems are such polite folks. More polite that your average Norwegian.

“Officials at the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases report that budget cuts forced them to shelve 14
Ebola-related grants, roughly a quarter of the total. The NIH was
forced to prioritize spending, to react to the most pressing current
threats rather than potential ones, and because there was little Ebola
activity at the time, shifting money to Ebola from, say, cancer or
Alzheimer’s research wasn’t a viable possibility. With
Ebola vaccines now entering clinical trials, it’s not much of a stretch
to conclude that, with those extra research dollars, vaccines would now
be on the market — potentially saving thousands of lives in Africa and
avoiding panic in the United States”

Let’s see; non-medical professional, anti-gun.
Obama must have nominated Michael Bloomberg for Surgeon General.
Guess I missed that.l.

I agree. I am so sick of that unwillingness to fight and to stick up for our President

The state of Texas should have a sign at the border “Enter at your own risk.” With no healthcare,worker safety, or environmental standards that place is hazardous to your health.

I’m incredibly polite…unless I’m at war…and right now, it feels like I’m under siege by the GOP.

Simply as a point of clarity, there is an acting SG. Which is often the case between administrations or changes in cabinet members. There is no politically appointed SG, that is true. But there is someone functioning in the SG role. That person, in fact, is a career public health professional, with over 20 years in service to the United States.
It’s like they’ve bought into the lie that FOX viewers are the mainstream of America when in reality they aren’t.

This is what having the lowest voter participation in the nation gets you, Texas.

Texas is fine, it’s their GOTP government which is hazardous to their health.

The Democrats are very stupid for not telling the public exactly how much money Pubbies have cut for issues such as Ebola. Those numbers can be proven by budget records.

Shorter Curz: Don’t blame us. We just voted for the cuts.
Did I mention that Senator Curz is slime?

Most gerbils are wiser than Ted Cruz. Please stop letting him on the Sunday shows. Was the acting Surgeon General unavailable?
