How can any DUmmie vote in the affirmative on this poll? They have no morals.
I was offended when Obama went to bed when our people were being killed in Benghazi . He needed sleep so he could keep campaigning.
Is this a national emergency or a regional emergency?

9. Don't see why.
As long as he isn't blaming the Potus for the storm damage or telling people to suck it up and get back to work.

for at least a couple of days while people affected by the storm begin to recover.
I'm not the least bit surprised by Rmoney's actions though, he'll do anything if he thinks it will get him votes. I think it's going to backfire on him, though. Obama is handling the crisis very well, and looking very Presidential, and Rmoney looks like the ass that he is.
People died as a direct result of Obama's inaction in Benghazi, and he never stopped campaigning.
-
Well, the first thing to recognize here is that the Kenyan has not stopped campaigning.
This rainstorm is a win-win campaign event for him.
If things are completely screwed up on the ground, he has no problem since it only affects a handful of blue shithole states that he will win regardless.
If the MSM is able to convince people that the emergency is being handled well, then he stands to benefit in the civilized parts of the country where the rainstorm is just a TV novelty.

I can't help but think the OP is referring to the entirety of the Obama term.
-
What is with their obsession with his name?
-
Any of the DUmmies point out that Slow Joe and Billy Jeff are still out campaigning for the Boy King during Katrina II?
-
Um, they DO realize that Romney has suspended campaigning in all of the affected states and has in fact donated his bus to collect relief supplies, yes?
-
A little wind and rain hits the blue states and the world stops.....self reliance isn't a liberal trait.

Do You Find It Morally Repugnant That Willard Romney Is Campaigning During A National Emergency
No.
What I find repugnant is the President running off to a fundraiser while his Ambassador's body is being drug throught he streets of a foreign country.
-
The Romney campaign tweeted prayers and support to those in the wake of Sandy. At the same time, the 0bama campaign tweeted a donation request.
-
Primitives -- do you really want me to go through your archives and post thread after thread about how it was good of Obama not to suspend his campaign when he was running against McCain ?
-
For the 86% who said it was morally repugnant...
...PROVE IT:
As Hurricane Sandy rocks the east coast, the Obama campaign soldiers on via email. Tasteless email. With millions out of power, the Obama campaign sent an email this evening with the following text:
GOT A PHONE? GET HIS BACK. CALL.BARACKOBAMA.COM
If you have a phone, don’t call your loved ones to ensure they’re safe. Call up a random person and push for Barack Obama. Because when the weather gets tough, the tough stump for Obama’s re-election.

Lord zero trying to get as much mileage out of the obamaphones as he can.

No.

...after watching the slaughter on live TV. It's nothing short of monstrous.
-
DUmmies, what I find repugnant is CBS doing an expose this morning on how mean and terrible Gov. Christie is and that he had to bow down to the Boy King to thank him for being his states savior.
Nope, no partisan BS here.
:bird:
-
...after watching the slaughter on live TV. It's nothing short of monstrous.
And not attending your national defense briefing for months...and not attending it the day after. Yeah Bammy cares....for himself.

The civilized states that surround the Gulf have rainstorms like this once or twice a month during spring and summer.
Superstorm, indeed.
Hopefully, the whining pussies in the northeast blue hellholes will go a few weeks without power.
When it's over, all the innercity democrat savages will have new LED widescreens.

Romney is asking for canned foods and other stuff to be brought to his campaign offices around the country to donate to the NE.

Mitt Romney collecting relief goods
Ok, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, he means it, it's not political. (insert laugh tract here, I can't keep a straight face).
For CULTURAL REASONS we used to take goods. We gave news media a list, and then we took the bags, boxes and bottles donated and sorted them out into packets, a bag of rice, a bottle of oil, soe sugar, toilet paper, and so on and so forth. We had to also mark them for areas where people could still cook, bag of rice, and areas that coud not, canned goods and manual can opener.
Take my word on this, man hour intensive and then then we needed to move this to the zone, logistically insane.
(Good nooz people increasingly are giving money to the bank account that allows some of this silliness not to be done, just some, collection points are still set up...yup cultural)
Do you think Romney and his people even know you gotta do this for those "family packages" to have any effect? I don't.
Oh and thank you volunteers who helped do this. Hell, Americans saw some of that during Katrina, as packages did come with the Mexican Navy, the Army used some at the feeding station they set in Texas...yes, the Mexican Army.
nadin is saying something but I have no clue.

I think she is trying to deliver a back-handed insult to Romney - praising him on the surface for the charity, while saying he is stupid enough to screw it all up in the end.
-
Beats me.
Around here, when there's disasters like this, stuff is collected, usually at a radio or tv station, then hauled by semi to the disaster area.
Canned foods, bottled water, juice boxes and bottles, diapers, baby formula, toilet paper are primary.
Maybe it's a southern thing, we help out with necessities to those who need it....and the stuff has never been refused either.

The DUmmies are attacking Mitt for collecting food and not donating money.

The DUmmies have no morals, no brains, and no grit. They are all ridiculous douchebags who care about no one but themselves.

Yeah well, 0bama is directing people that need help to...wait for it...the Internet. Yeah, that'll work!

Peasants in the shithole south of Texas don't need a rainstorm, they're starving all the time.
You have to see it to believe it. They live like destitute Americans only if they're within a stone's throw of the border.
Farther south it's pure third world, animal kingdom, regardless of the crazy bald dwarf's idiot remarks.

Yeah, I am sorry but epic fail on this total bullshit attempt at slamming the east coast. I lived in one of the Gulf Coast states and you will have to point me to the time that - aside from an actual hurricane, which is what this was, the likes of which the northeast has never seen before - that they had the catastrophic damage of 30 deaths, 80 homes in Brooklyn flooded, then burned to the ground, major highway on Long Island completely washed away, subways systems in NJ and NY flooded under 4 feet of water, towns in NJ completely under water, 3 feet of snow.... from a "rainstorm."
A little respect for the folks who are living a total hell right now too much to ask for from you? Wow.
-
Tell you what I find morally repugnant, DUmbass. I find a President who will order SEALs to kill Osama bin Slapnuts, then take the credit for it like they never existed, and then when they're trying to keep the US Ambassador alive in the face of a platoon of terrorist goat-****ers, Obama can't be bothered to take the ****in' call, sweet cheeks. That's what's morally reprehensible, DUmb****. Fortunately, that's a problem that we here in America will be rectifying here in about 7 days.

Hey, now....I live in this shithole.
But, you're right.

The Romney campaign has suspended for the time being due to the storm and Mitt is holding an event in Ohio for relief for NJ and other areas hit by the storm. The Obama campaign, however, is full steam ahead. Bill Clinton stumping for him in Colorado. Well, I guess to Obama the only ones affected by the storm were a bunch of rich white people. Romney, however, is helping out with relief efforts. Now I ask you, who is acing more like a leader in a crisis?

I find Romney "relief efforts" revolting.
He's collecting canned food at a campaign rally. This is disgusting.
First of all, those of us in harm's way don't need canned food. The Red Cross doesn't want it either. Their guidelines include the following: "Unfortunately, due to logistical constraints the Red Cross does not accept or solicit individual donations or collections of items. Items such as collected food, used clothing and shoes must be sorted, cleaned, repackaged and transported which impedes the valuable resources of money, time, and personnel." DID HE EVEN CHECK WHAT WAS NEEDED? DID HE EVEN ASK THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND HOW HE COULD BEST HELP? BECAUSE THIS ISN'T IT!!!
His continuing to campaign during this, in whatever lame guise he uses, is craven. He's using the misfortune of others to press his advantage.
We have BIG problems here. An entire mass transit system is derailed. People need to be rescued from flood waters. Children can't get to school. The stock exchange can't function.
We need GOVERNMENT. We need FEMA. We need union police and firefighters. We need a President like the one we have: one who is working himself haggard to make sure we are covered.
WE DON'T NEED A GOD DAMNED CAN OF PEAS!
**** you damn gov't loving sons-a-bitches! Who on Earth would chastise anyone for aiding those in need? Seriously!!! Only on Skin's isle could DUmmies rip charitable giving. Too bad the hurricane didn't whack your sorry ass Squitch. Regrettably, it appears the Stink dude survived as well.
It's not a surprise that any voluntary donation to those in need is deemed unacceptable by these cretins as they worship at the feet of gov't. IMO the socialist-in-chief and officials in these blue hell-hole states are politicizing this disaster and that is 100% despicable.
F.U. DUmmies!!!! :bird:

FEMA just redistributes taxpayers money. The real people doing the work are corporations that ask for volunteers from their employee ranks and then send them to the affected areas to help.

ST. LOUIS - Ameren Corp. is committing an additional 150 linemen and field support personnel to help with efforts to restore power to the East Coast in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
More than 100 Ameren employees and 100 contractors already had been staged in Somerset, N.J. The first group arrived Sunday afternoon and was ready to assist power restoration efforts.
Ameren Missouri Safety Supervisor Tom French said employees have met with Public Service Electric and Gas Company officials to discuss workers' safety and have stocked Ameren trucks with equipment to restore electricity.
Those huge evil corporations are the ones that have the ability to get things done, not the Feebler Government.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but it is.
Just a personal failing, I guess, but I can't work up an ounce of compassion, let alone respect, for any of the vermin who live in the five burrows, er, I mean burroughs. Same thing for the leftist moonbats who dominate the rest of the upper East Coast.
They've turned their region in to a nearly unlivable cesspool, and try as hard as they can politically to expand that cesspool into the civilized parts of the country.
They loudly shout contempt for the rest of us fundy redneck repukes, so if they find themselves in a "total hell" after the rainstorm it's okay by me.

Oh Lord, don't mention that!According to DUmbasses, Romney isn't even human! Wonder what O'Bummer is doin' with his million dollar buses that were built in Canada?
The ****er didn't even have the decency to have Americans build his bus, for cripes sake and the DUmbshits wanna give Romney hell? Somebody needs to sharpen their little pointy heads in a pencil sharpener! Maybe it would sharpen their intellect.

It's those very same fundy repukes that are riding to their rescue right now.....but they'll never admit it nor will they appreciate it.
