Someone needs to follow that Romney "relief bus."

The Red Cross doesn't want it, no one in the disaster zone can use it. What the heck are they going to do with it? We're probably going to be able to add "littering" to the list of things we can't stand about this lying sack.

1. They could take it to food banks in the outlying areas of impact

It would do good there, but stay out of the impact areas.

I remember when Rush Limbaugh got on kids who had bake sales to retire the deficit. It a Dem tried to pull this stunt, he/she would be crucified.

funny, no one seems to know where it's going.

Aren't Mormons big on stockpiling? Maybe that's where the "relief goods" will go, to stock Mormon stockpiles that are dwindling.

Mittens said "We're going to load it on a truck and send it to New Jersey... I think."

So, if it's somewhere else, he may have flipped quicker on this than any other issue.

You know...the destitute, struggling Mormon church. The church that encourages its members to get married really young, have lots of babies (that they can't afford) and then councils them how to get on that evil, big government public assistance right away.

... and let them deal with it. Like everything else the GOP touches - use it & leave it for someone else to clean up.
