Romney speaks with FEMA
Davenport, Iowa (CNN) – Mitt Romney spoke Monday with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the National Weather Service as Hurricane Sandy slammed into the U.S. East Coast.
Romney joined the representatives from the agencies, as well as officials from the Department of Homeland Security, on a 20-minute phone call at 4 p.m. ET while the GOP nominee was in Davenport, Iowa for an event, according to campaign spokesman Kevin Madden.
why? For what earthly purpose do these people who are busier than hell right now, need to take a conference call from a candidate for President? oh.. I see..
While Romney canceled his campaign plans in Virginia on Sunday, in addition to an event in Wisconsin Monday night, he still held a rally in Iowa Monday. The campaign said the event was attended by 2,250 people, according to a count of those who went through security.
"I was speaking today with the National Weather Service and the folks at FEMA as they're preparing for the landfall of a very dangerous hurricane. It's going to affect a lot of families, it already has," Romney said at the event.
He continued: "And the damage will probably be significant and of course a lot of people will be out of power for a long time and so hopefully your thoughts and prayers will join with mine and people across the country as you think about those folks that are in harm's way."
he needed a new campaign anecdote .. |

Why? Because all the governors of the affected states, especially Christie, are commending the President for his work. And why is he still campaigning? I thought he cancelled? |

Look, I know candidates will say a lot of shit to get elected. They make promises and statements their heart isn't really into, to garner those votes, but Romney must have broken some sort of F'in record for real time narrative contortions and changes. He's like friggin Mr. Mxyzptlk from Superman. Just changing reality with the snap of his finger. "Sir, you said..." "No I didn't...*SNAP!*" It's unbelievable.

and the astonishing thing is, he gets more popular each time he does it. all the pundits are simultaneously aghast and intrigued at how he's running the 'etch a sketch' campaign.. because they know that if he wins with this kind of blatant lying.. all bets are off.. every campaign from then on will do the same.. if you can successfully,while being video-taped, tell two audiences extreme and vastly opposite things.. and still have both audience believe,support and fight for you? well hell, why tell the truth ever again... |

I'll tell you this much, if President Obama was engaging in this type of bullshit, like the far-right "think" he is...If it was as blatant, unapologetic, and insulting of my intellect...he wouldn't get my vote. Plain and simple.

If I was a fuckin right wing bible thumping wack nut I couldn't bring myself to vote for this make up my truth as I choose mutha fucker. How he gets any votes in Ohio & Michigan is beyond my comprehension? I understand how he can scare the elderly in FL with his BS. Isn't lying time after time after time unchristian? Oh that's right with the wack nuts any means to an end because Obama is the fuckin colored Satan. And since no credible news source calls him out on it THIS is the future of politics in the country. It's fuckin pathetic and an embarrassment. |
