Romney: No, it's cool. You can just buy like a can opener, a microwave (I heard everyone has one of these), and then . . . BAM.

You're fed. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Mitt Romney is not a smart or considerate man.

One of the better jokes on the SNL WU last night was Mitt Romney giving Seth Meyers a "canned good," waiting for the photo flash, then taking it back.

this is why professional emergency management is important, people... knowing how to actually help, how to manage volunteers, donations and entire programs is a small branch of a complicated *system*, one that a person who has stated that he wants to drastically reduce the role of FEMA has no idea of. Craig Fugate has done an amazing job of structuring FEMA post-Katrina/post-Brownie, and has dramatically raised the standards and practices of E.M. Unfortunately, a Romney presidency would probably replace him with a clown loke brown...

"like" even... stupid fingers...

Much like She Who Shall Remain Nameless, I really can't wait for the election to be over so he can fark off back to wherever the hell he comes from and never darken our lives again.

He's had so many "Dukakis in the tank" moments, they've had to retire the phrase. In fact, to raise money for storm relief, we should tie Mitt Romney to a post and let Michael Dukakis cockpunch him for an hour. $10 a punch for 60 minutes.

Because People in power are Stupid: But as showboating goes, it's very effective for Romney.

Be kind. He has no clue how one is supposed to show compassion or help.
He should have taken all that crap to the foodbank.

The guy who thinks it's a pretty good idea to try to privatize emergency management totally doesn't get what the RC is, does or needs?

My surprised face...

For Romney/Ryan it's all about what things appear to be, rather than what they actually are.

Ryan appears to be doing the dishes in a soup kitchen.
Romney appears to be encouraging people to donate generously to the Red Cross.
Obama appears to be Muslin anti-Christ book-readin' black-bein' yeller-bellied varmint.

So vote Republican.

But I was told Mitt Romney cared so much about helping people.

And what they don't tell you is that the reason is they want MONEY is they can skim that. Only a tiny fraction goes to the victims of disasters.

What really grinds their gears is when I leave a dead hooker in their air ducts.

Wait, what were we talking about? Oh, that guy again. Prometheus is in Redbox on Tuesday, so I know what I'm doing until he becomes irrelevant.

Oh, and a quick cockpunch for someone I hate: Flex Seal is $6 a can rubberized undercoating from the auto parts store.

Smeggy Smurf: The Red Cross can't steal material goods and enrich the head pukes. That's why they want money instead of consumables and blankets.

Fark the Red Cross.

I'm partially in agreement with this. If the Red Cross suddenly finds itself with a rented U haul full of basics....stop whining about it. At the very least, they could decline, give the driver a map of some heavily effected hamlet, and say go give it to these people.

The Red Cross is a valuable organization, but it's elevation to cult-like status is undeserved.

SoldierBlue: We want your money and you blood

So the red cross is run by Jewish vampires?


/I kid I kid

dahmers love zombie: The Kettering event created a political firestorm when it became public that the Romney campaign spent $5,000 in a local Wal-Mart store Monday night because it feared people wouldn't bring enough to fill the truck being sent to New Jersey, where Republican Gov. Chris Christie is a strong Romney backer. A half-empty truck might not have looked so good in the next day's papers. And Romney needed to be seen not only accepting supplies from individual donors but also loading the truck destined for New Jersey. Ohio's newspapers, including The Enquirer, showed Romney accepting and loading the supplies.

I think McCain's assessment of Romney as found in the pages of "Game Change" remains pretty darn accurate.

"McCain routinely called Romney an 'a$$hole' and a 'f!@#%ng phony'" in private."

He an obvious phony who's also more than a bit of an asshole.

[donotwant]

They would rather have donations of money and blood

How about blood money, do they accept that?

The difference is that one is pretending to give a shait, while the other was actually a tank commander at one point.

Someone already posted a link above explaining why you're a dumbass.

A large number of people didn't get dick to eat, so Romney stepped it up one notch and gave them...

of course Mr. Dukakis was actually an army officer at one time in his life...

If only 1 or 2 families benefited from anything dropped off, it is worth it.

This is the first time I have EVER seen people actually whining and complaining about relief supplies being sent to a disaster area.

Once again, F the Red Cross, they are not the "authority" on disaster relief and there's a reason they want money and blood (which they sell)... Because as with so many disasters they will hold out their collection plate for "X Disaster" and then spend that money however they damn well please, including paying their execs six figure salaries.

Seriously, F the Red Cross.

And after that, F all the hate mongering idiots who are so hung up on their political BS that they're actually sneering at food and water and other essentials being donated to help a disaster. You should be praising anyone who donates anything period. It will get to somebody who needs it and if the Red Cross doesn't want it then I assure there are plenty of other people out there that would be glad to have it.

And oh by the way weren't you the same lot going on about how the relief supplies were only going to battleground states? Line up over there and take it back because this showed up in New Jersey.

But you also have to admit it's a lot more efficient and cheaper to buy the food and supplies straight from the manufacturer rather than have it go through all the middlemen including the customers who will do shiat like mix up damaged and long expired stuff in their donations.

What if people suffered due to the distractions from providing actual relief?

Yes, but sadly the Narrative of Dems=chickenshiat little girls made this photo op a bad thing.

I agree. But Mitt Romney is still a pandering fool. $5000. He effectively gave about 5 seconds worth of what he spends on ad-time nationally.

Over the long term, absolutely. But, as I said. If this is such an inconvenience for the Red Cross, they should have sent the truck to some location they knew was underserved and said, go give it to them. Instead they accept the goods) which were brand new and biatch about them.
