Freepers hate 9-11 Responders

For all their claimed ideology andhatred of RINOs, Freepers have on overriding principle: they take orders. They complain, but you know they all voted McCain.

Case-and-point, they have gathered to defend the Republican philibuster providing ailing 9-11 responders with health care. Because they are told to:

kara37 seems to think that all the responders got health care for life from those commie unions:

I don't know a lot about what is in the bill. However, I don't think it's really about health care to Ground Zero first responders. After all, these are unionized government workers that have great health care.
I think it's about another unfunded payout.

Yep, none of these sick folks lost their job! It's just some kinda dem bribe:

panthermom counsels against feeling emotions:

Cong. Weiner is a dem so of course he knows all of the right buttons to
push and will play on your emotions while backstabbing you.
Like I said, this bill is a mockery to those First Responders, they are using the term knowing it hits a nerve.

Unlike invoking 9-11 over and over, that's rationality.

kik5150 blames the media:

Democrats propose a bill to give reading glasses to dogs. Republicans vote
it down.Newspaper headlines: “REPUBLICANS WANT TO BLIND PUPPIES”.

SgtHooper worries this is some kind of secret evil, like paying off black farmers for being discriminated against:

Oh so similar to the black farmer payoff debacle. The devil is in the
details, and the details are where the evil demorats lurk. It’s there where the
answer is.

DesertRhino thinks these responder guys are all scamming:

Being New York,, it will be scammed 6 ways from sunday and exploited to the
hilt. A “first responder” (definition: half of New York State) gets a skin cancer in 15 years later,,, it will be because of 9/11. They all get depression and medically retire. Heart attack,, 9/11. Shingles,,9/11. People are sick of NY milking this for all its worth IMO. This from the people that still haven’t rebuilt it a decade later.

Besides, there is another issue. New York state needs to pay their own workers comp claims. And they should sue the Saudis.

freedumb2003 thinks that running into a toxic collapsing building is just another day at work for police or firemen:

I am sorry if this seems cold, but deciding to be a cop or fireman (or any in many
other types of safety-related professions) is acceptance of being in hazardous
situations.
The word “hero” is already devaluated to the point of having no
meaning at all. Let’s not devaluate those who have chosen safety-related
professions as well.

raybbr hates these stupid heroes. They just wanted their overtime anyhow:

Please, they all have health care. They all got paid and were lauded.
These are the same guys that worked three or four days straight and would not allow anyone else from other parts of the country to come and relieve them.
All for the overtime and now they want more.

goat granny really cuts through all the bulshit rationalizations:

Rule #1 If the democrats bring it up, vote it down...
Rule #2 If the democrats don't want it vote it in..
