Title: I'll Bet He Wishes He Hadn't Said This Post by: Howey on October 29, 2012, 05:33:57 pm During the Republican debates, Mitt Romney had this (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/28/mitt-romney-fema_n_2036198.html) to say about FEMA:

wtf? the private sector already makes a killing in the aftermath by gouging the victims.. hence the 'anti-gouging' laws... so what, now he thinks they're just going to chip in and help everyone instead? yes, it should be run on a loop in every state where FEMA will be deployed.. Title: Re: I'll Bet He Wishes He Hadn't Said This Post by: uselesslegs on October 30, 2012, 12:42:29 am This is what happens when you morally justify absolute greed. Your entire ethos revolves around making money. So naturally every situation, every societal need, is an opportunity to generate profit.
If these asshole thought the majority of the public would be cool with actual blood and guts gladiatorial games, they'd be hard at work to make it happen AND get it legislated.

Quote “Gov. Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions,” Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement. “As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities, and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA.” A campaign official added that Romney would not abolish FEMA.

"Would you abolish FEMA".. "well gosh,golly.. No never, I would never want to do something like that.." fucking lunatic.. if you're wondering what he would do in real time.. a conservative paper in Mass can tell you.. from 2006 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/29/1152255/-Romney-and-Disaster-Relief-A-TRUE-story Quote No relief from Romney The Lowell Sun We find it inconceivable that Gov. Mitt Romney claims the state can do nothing to help those residents still struggling to rebuild homes and businesses after the May flood. Massachusetts is sitting on millions in unspent emergency funds from Hurricane Katrina and more than $1 billion in cash reserves, yet Romney has failed to even respond to the Lowell delegation's requests to discuss additional aid for victims. The governor's spokesman -- since Romney can't be bothered to comment now that the photo opportunities have dried up even though some residents' basements haven't -- said the state will not consider spending its own money for flood victims until it's clear how much cash the federal government will give. It's been two months, governor. Many Massachusetts residents are still living in temporary housing or trying to rebuild destroyed basements and first floors, racking up credit-card debt and taking out home-equity loans. What's wrong with fronting the money and having those loans repaid when, and if, federal agencies come through with more cash? If ignoring the pleas of legislators and constituents is the way Romney's going to handle a crisis situation, why would anyone vote for him for president? How would he handle a national crisis, by flying in for photo ops and then hiding in his White House office? The Lowell delegation came up with a plan that includes five ways to channel additional state aid to residents who lost property and possessions to the floodwaters. They're good ideas that deserve consideration. They include: one-time grants of up to $10,000 each for those without flood insurance; one-time grants from Mass. Development for small business owners; and tax deductions. If Romney wants to tout his Bay State experience in a run for president, he would be wise to make sure he has something to brag about. Helping residents rebuild their homes and businesses would be a good start. funny, seems like he wants to keep his(state) money, keep the fronted fed-money and then still make the feds pay for any damage..well, if he feels like it anyway. what's wrong Gov? private sector won't do it? Title: Re: I'll Bet He Wishes He Hadn't Said This Post by: uselesslegs on October 30, 2012, 12:51:25 pm He believes in get yourself up by your boot straps, tough love. I mean of course he has absolutely no idea what that's like since there's never been a time in his life, even when him and Ann lived in that cold old basement and ate off of an ironing board *GAH!*, that he's ever truly or *sorta kinda* known desperation, hunger, helplessness, homelessness.
I mean really...who wants to spend time trying to empathize with lazy fuckers whose biggest investment was their home...what rubes!

Guess who's saying Obama jumped the gun with his rapid response on Hurricane Sandy? Nah...you'll never guess. THIS GUY! (http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/10/30/1110901/bush-fema-director-katrina-hits-obama-sandy/) Quote Former FEMA Director Michael Brown offered criticism of President Obama’s early responses to Hurricane Sandy yesterday, including a dig at the administration’s response to last month’s attack in Libya. Yesterday, ahead of the storm’s pummeling of the eastern seaboard, Brown gave an interview to the local alternative paper, the Denver Westword, on how he believed the Obama administration was responding to Sandy too quickly and that Obama had spoken to the press about Sandy’s potential effect too early.
