Politics aren't my forte because when I express my opinions, I like to be fully informed on the issue. For me to be fully informed about U.S. politics would require a lot of effort that I'm not necessarily interested in making at this point in my life.
But I have been following Republicans' refusal to pass the 9/11 responders bill, which would give them medical benefits/compensation for their sacrifices. Many of them are facing serious health issues because of their heroism on that day. There's a time to be stubborn and hold out to get what you want, and then there's black-and-white decisions.
Jon Stewart highlighted their hypocrisy last night. I mostly watch his show for the comedic/satiric aspect, but I think he excels in these moments where he is able to call out politicians' backwards thinking and flip-flopping.
