Mitt Romney a terrible person...

    The problem isn't that goods are being donated, that's a good thing (even though cash or blood is far preferable and the charities really don't want this kind of thing), the problem is that they claimed they were suspending the campaign and then turned this into nothing but a campaign ploy.
    Well he's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't. Can you imagine the outcry if Romney went campaigning today instead of trying to help the hurricane victims?

    Obama is probably sitting around in the White House twiddling his thumbs like he has for the past 4 years. Where's the outcry on that?

    of there is, the lack of resources, especially for our smaller states when they are hard hit.

    Biden and Clinton are out stumping for Obama, so why shouldn't Romney be able to campaign?

    In 2008, McCain suspended campaigning to go back to DC during the financial crisis meltdown. Obama went to stump in FL.

    Give it a rest, the man is the most generous, charitable person to ever run for the presidency. You are obviously running with the desperate crowd with nothing else to do but find any way possible to demonize Mr. Romney. What a sad, sad lot.

    No they weren't

    I love the fact we live in a society where doing the basic duties of your job deserves praise and recognition.

    Gut, you really have to halt the reality checks; it runs counter to the media's creation of 'obama, the messiah'.

    Wealthy states like California or New York would probably do ok if it were block granted but poorer states like Alabama and Missouri would have had a difficult time without federal assistance during those horrible tornadoes.

    Instead of having his campaign buy food spend that $5,000 or whatever it was reported that they spend on canned goods and shit and cut a check.

    Hilarious, California is so broke, due to liberal rule, they couldn't buy one squeegee. They'd need every 1%er around to bail them out.

    Well, when you mostly haven't done the job for 4 years and the bar has been so lowered that you're really not even expected to do the job....well, I guess that qualifies as news.

    Okay, I think we now have proof that Quaker has to be trolling to some level, as this post is over the top even by the standards of this forum.

    I counted a handful of Quaker posts, and the number of isadore's posts that were way deeper in propaganda had to number over 50.

    I feel like this forum would be at like a 5th grade level of discussion if we got rid of Quaker, isadore, and Ty Webb and their alts. Currently we're at the discussion level of potato.

    I figured that izzy as a troll was a no-brainer. Quaker at least gave the illusion of just being a slightly over-the-top R guy until he started in with posts like that one or one from a week or so ago when he told someone (Zwick, maybe) that he wasn't good enough to vote for "Mr. Romney".

    I understand, and trust me, just because I'm a Rep, doesn't mean I agree with everything. I believe Emergency response should be turned over to the state's with the ability to request Federal help if need be. I do believe though, that a private type FEMA organization could be just as effective as FEMA.

    Dover votes Republican...look at our mayor. We believe your hard work should pay off, not someone else. It makes sense that the town of paper championships wouldn't understand what its like to earn something though.

Obama was very presidential yesterday when he made the bold statement to the hurricane victims, "We leave nobody behind unless you are fighting an enemy we already defeated in Benghazi. In that case...stand down...you are on your own." He was so busy making statements and being presidential that he didn't even have time to pack one box while at the Red Cross.
    Added a little truth to Barry's proclamation.

    Well, it only took 58 posts to bring race into a disaster. What in the fuck does being black have to do with being President?

    By the way....IF he was an African-American, then by definition he couldn't be President. It's in the parchment y'all want to treat with disdain. He's either an American or he isn't. Enough political-correctness horseshit.

    You don't find issue with turning disaster victims into profit centers?

    And how much has Obama donated? Fucking zero.

    Neither did Romney, his campaign did.
