Romney says not to evacuate

"If it's a legitimate storm, your house has a way of shutting itself down to protect itself."

From #RomneyStormTips and #MittStormTips

Romney's taking a pounding on Twitter


Other gems:

Sandy is so dangerous because she was raised by a single mother

If you're short of sandbags, have the help lie in front of the door

Leave one car outside in case you lose power to the car elevator

If you're in the path of the storm, go your second or third home to escape

We need freedom-freedom! Which really means freedom to be stupid, freedom to be reckless, freedom to be racist, freedom to be a rapist, freedom to gouge your neighbor (free market at times like this would offer you bottled water for $50 per bottle, cash only please).

Free market-free market.

The Mittster just announced he's okay with FEMA help and funding.

That didn't take long did it.

He is so fucked up in such a strange, subtle way until
BOING,
it pops out again like a Jack in the Box.

I just shake my head, and think "What. The. Fuck."

I don't think he's a Sirius candidate anymore.
Romulan, maybe.

It would be funny if for some reason his homeowner's insurance refused coverage and Mitt had to go begging to FEMA for help.

fly to Canada and all the family's precious possessions are strewn all over New England. And then I want to see footage of all the RobMes crying like widdle babies over their lost material goods.

How many houses does that jerk have, anyway?

a president who does not like to think--and in need a handler, this is the way they like it. Romney is in no way competent to be president of the US, but he would make a perfect RW puppet.

a very scary yet truthful statement.

I've lived through all of these horrible presidents...I won't be able to take RobMe. It just can't happen. Are Americans really that easy to fool and manipulate? Shit, why do I ask....look at the nuts they've elected in the past.

Goddess help us.

- and thinks it serious and decides not to evacuate because of it, then their blood is on your hands. They'd have to be dumb as a rock to not evacuate when told to do so but stranger things have happened.

If you have an actual quote of someone saying specifically NOT to evacuate when your Governor or local officials have told you to do so, then post the link. If not, then remove this thread. People are dying out there and it's no joke.

28. How does a house have a way of shutting down to protect itself?
Mon Oct 29, 2012, 08:46 PM
Oct 2012

We are close to the landfall of sandy and I asked our house, "Will you shut down if this storm is legitimate?" Our house said, "No because I do not know how to fix the leak that it pouring into the attic by the chimney. I am only a house and I do not know how to fix myself. I am worry about the trees falling on me though because I will get hurt".

Do not let your chef go home for the night. Restaurants are NOT delivering.

Clarification: When I said abolish FEMA, I meant only for the 47% of Americans who need it.
