Romney - disaster relief is immoral - MAKE THIS CLIP GO VIRAL

I can only assume someone is busy making a campaign ad superimposing this audio over disaster footage from Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. But until then, please make sure people are aware.

in that same debate Ron Paul wants to kill FEMA and make the churches responsible for disaster relief. I doubt the media will even now discuss this because it is way to important.

Rip off the disaster victim much? Kind of how he ran a business, rip as many people off as you can, ruin as many lives as you can. All for the "god given" dollar. Who do you really worship Mitt?

Does ANYONE here live in a state that has an extra billion dollars lying around???

We're struggling with cuts in education, and we have less revenue because property taxes have decreased due to lower housing values.

How in the hell would any state find a billion dollars or more for disaster relief???

Romney knows that "let the states handle it!" is a no-solution solution. He doesn't give a flipping damn about what happens to regular folks. That is his answer.

Bush had the same kind of elitist attitude. People think that his handling if Katrina was some big bungling error. Oh please!

People like Romney and Bush don't care about us. In fact, they detest our neediness.

They detest our humanity. The only time we ever have worth to them is when we're making them money. Otherwise, we have no use at all to them.
