Again, please explain to me how these people are pro-life? I’m so Fucking over it. OVER IT. Posted @withregram • @washingtonpost Comedian Jon Stewart called Republicans “cowards” after senators blocked legislation that would provide health-care coverage for military veterans who were exposed to toxins and burn pits during their service. “This is an embarrassment to the Senate, to the country, to the Founders and all that they profess to hold dear,” Stewart said in an impassioned speech outside the Capitol on Wednesday. A version of the legislation was approved by the Senate in June. It was back in the Senate on Wednesday because the House made some modest changes before passing the bill about two weeks ago. On Wednesday, the revised measure drew 55 votes in the Senate — short of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster. Democrats accused Republicans of voting against it in retaliation for a deal announced earlier by Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) that will allow Democrats to move ahead on an economic package without Republican votes.
