According to THE HILL: When the House voted in early September for a $1.4 billion relief bill for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Rep. John Hostettler (IN-8-R) was one of 11 Republicans to oppose it.
Yesterday, the congressman, who is facing a tight race next year, and several other Indiana members asked President Bush for money to help victims of another natural disaster — the tornado that ripped through many areas in his 8th District.
Ring. Ring. I just got a call from God and She said that the reason that Hostettler's district was hit with a tornado was because Hostettler was unkind to the Hurricane Katrina survivors.
Rep. Hostettler claims to be a religious man. However, he wasn't concerned about helping the Katrina survivors. We can only hope that Rep. Hostettler's vote against hurricane relief will come to back to haunt him during the '06 elections.
