ANOTHER PUZZLING GOP MOVE

The nation was in shock after 9/11. Some brave worker bees risked their health to aid in rescue and clean up. They got sick breathing fumes but carried on. Some were lied to about the degree of health risks. Republicans are the first to beat their breasts and use 9/11 to justify anything from the Patriot Act to torture to raising threat levels to war. Yet they will gladly vote along party lines to deny medical aid to 9/11 rescue workers. Please explain this position to me. They clearly won't budge on anything as popular as medical aid to 9/11 rescue workers. If you can understand this, please let me know.
