They're in complete meltdown over there in loonytoon town.
Some excerpts:
Cant this guy keep his mouth shut??? All he had to say was The Federal Govt has been helpful and we appreciate it
Dont even mention Bammy Boy
Starting to become incomprehensible:
0bama excels in areas where the decision is so obvious that even a 5 year old would know what to do.
Otherwise,was Kissie damning 0turd with praise or
is he just a big suck up?
Libya, killing Christians, and communism, Oh my!
Isn't that Obamas job?Like he let men die in Libya and watched them die .Guess what he is still on the campaign trail while doing his job for a change..Obama is a filthy communist and would love to see all of us Christians dead..He cant kill us unless he is reelected..
If only Bush were President during this time!
A week before the election and youre going to say that Obama deserves GREAT CREDIT? I dont think so....we need to fight until the end. Obama did NOTHING that deserves great credit. BUSH did waaaaaay more for New Orleans than was ever reported and look how the DEMS handled that. Sorry, friend...we fight til the end. No more Mr Nice Guy...our country cant afford it.
FEMA didn't build that!
I can be just as political as the rats and their faux messiah. FEMA NEVER CREATED A BUSINESS... CREATED WEALTH OR HELPED THE ECONOMY... THEY REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH ONLY... AND VERY inefficiently at that.

These people are absolutely bonkers, we can't let these unstable people control the Presidency. Get out the vote!

No, but at least it's finally able to rescue stranded people off of rooftops, which is what it's SUPPOSED to do.

TrollBuster9090
(5,954 posts)1. Whine that you're taxed too much, and want your politicians to dismantle government agencies that only 'black welfare queens' use, like FEMA.
2. Get flooded out and demand that FEMA come to your rescue, suddenly having switched your philosophy from "I don't want to pay for that" to "I don't believe in that, but since my taxes paid for it, I'm damned well going to use it!"
3. Go back to #1 after the disaster is over. Repeat cognitive dissonance philosophy flip as often as is needed.
If we could convert the limitless supply of GOP "It's not a government handout when *I* get it" hypocrisy into an electricity, we could cure the global warming problem overnight.

(5,436 posts)His fatness reflects the meta-reality of repigs: grasping, bullying, greedy pigs. That's what, at least I, am using "fat" to mean when I refer to him.
Matariki
(18,775 posts)By equating body size with all those negatives you just listed. As if 'fat' means 'grasping', 'greedy', 'pig'.
Shame on you.
bongbong
(5,436 posts)I spent summers on one as a kid.
Pigs are fat. Even piglets are fat. It's part of their natural makeup, at least the pigs that have been bred for that characteristic (i.e, the millions of pigs you find on farms as well as evil factory farms). Has nothing to do with oversize people. And "pig" is a synonym for several negative characteristics of humans.
Don't take it personally. However, I will refrain from speaking about Round Ball using "fat" or "pig" in the future. Is "Round Ball" OK to use? If that isn't, I'll just use "Pile Of Crap Christie".
Matariki
(18,775 posts)I think language matters and I know people who are as big as Christie and I know how language like you used makes them feel. It saddens me that their self worth gets trampled on by thoughtless people who think it's perfectly fine to attack people they don't like with slurs on their weight or other aspects of their appearance.
You may think I'm playing word police, but it seems to me that you are speaking with a lack of empathy and don't realize how your words might possibly hurt people who aren't necessarily your current target.

Mike Daniels
(5,842 posts)when all of a sudden a big infusion of cash carries them over the top.
This leads to two possibilities:
RimJob is pulling a fast one over on his supporters by setting a false financial goal (he only needs 5,000 but requests 20,000)that he says was reached at the very end of the "drive".
RimJob has a sugar daddy (Rush or Hannity / Hannity is rumored to be a poster on the site) who pays off whatever the inevitable shortfall would be.
The meeting of the goal always happens just around the time the donations have slowed to a trickle so there has to be some slight of hand going on given how many people have been purged from that site.
progressivebydesign
(19,458 posts)that's all we can figure. After years of them watching the outright crazy lies by people like Glen Beck, that could be the only answer.
These are NOT the Americans I knew growing up. These people are some sort of non-humans, and they certainly are not Christians.
Something extremely wrong with them. Until we bring back the Fairness Doctrine and hold Rush, Beck, and the rest of the brainwashers accountable for this, American democracy cannot survive.
That bullshit "watched Americans die in Libya" is an absolute FAXED talking point today.... it's all over all of twitter, and every other news site today. They are trying desperately to throw the election to Romney by making those claims.. and the more they repeat it, the uglier it gets. The "President went to Vegas while he let Americans die" is the talking point today.
How many of our troops DIED while Bush was in Office??? On any single day what was Bush doing?
calimary
(81,272 posts)Well, the President who's being shown hard at work totally hands-on, on TV and cable, and gratefully praised and thanked by the area's governors and mayors alike, party notwithstanding, sure turns their twisted assertions upside down. The coverage would seem to strike a match to the "he's done nothing" blather.
First Amendment aside, I wish flat-out lies and distortions - so doggone obvious that almost all imaginable media practically anywhere on earth is fact-checking - would simply not be allowed on the air or in print.

(3,596 posts)Bammy Boy - no issue with his comment suggesting Christie went too far
Becoming incomprehensible - well if planning and executing a readiness and response plan to the largest storm ever to hit the populated Northeast is something a 5 year old could do it are they suggesting that when they nominated GWB (with his great FEMA guy Brownie) GWB was not as smart as a 5 year old?
Libya, killing Christians - Yes it is Obama's job and he is doing it (unlike GWB). He did not let men die in Libya and that story has been fully debunked. He is NOT on the campaign trail in fact he has cancelled all of his campaign events to stay at the WH and focus on the catastrophe that is Sandy. Obama is no communist. He would not have saved the auto industry if he was He would have simply nationalized it. He wants Christians dead? Exactly where did this come from? What is evidence he does?
Bush - President in this time - had to hold my gut laughing.....is this moron so stupid as to not understand that Bush was at a birthday party for McCain when he should have been back in Washington (as Obama was) planning and leading the preparation and response efforts. If Bush did so much in Katrine why have these facts not come out? In fact we all know that GWB/Brownie were total fuck-ups. Katrina was, like 9-11, catastrophes that could have been avoided or mitigated if GWB had not been so in competent
FEMA didn't build that - this one is totally losing it. No - FEMA's responsibility is not to create a business, create wealth or help the economy. But it does not re-distribute wealth. What it does do is, when properly managed, is very efficiently coordinate and respond to national emergencies. FEMA's charter is, in essence, to coordinate with state and local officials preparedness and response efforts in the event of some kind of national emergency. That includes deploying human and materiel resources that may also involve the U.S. military.
These guys and gals are dumber than boxes of rocks. I swear I could find an amoeba that is smarter than these folks.

(5,954 posts)Seriously, what choice did he have? Obama's going to win, and we all know that THIS election is the last hoorah for the extreme right, angry white middle aged male voter. In 2016 the GOP will have an etch-a-sketch moment, renounce its polarizing, dog-whistle past, and be the party of non-partisan inclusion. If Christie wants to jump on that bandwagon, he can't afford to make a lot of stupid partisan statements NOW.

(931 posts)blindly follow people who can... I dunno... wordulate stuff they can't really come up with themselves, but feel in their gut.
Then they just somehow absorb those talking points and spread them around as much as they can. Some actually get pretty proficient at it, and can come off as pretty good debaters at first. But it's just repetition, repetition, repetition, and it becomes pretty transparent after a while

Christie saw the damage up close and wants help for the people of NJ. NJ and NY do not usually get storms like this. It was really, really bad and he is doing his job as he should.

(50,557 posts)During Katrina, Bush ate cake at John McCain's birthday party and played, or pretended to, a guitar at a Brad Paisley concert while Condi saw Spamalot and shopped for shoes in New York, and we tore him a new asshole for it.
During Sandy, Obama stopped campaigning, went to the Situation Room and personally coordinated relief efforts all along the Eastern Seaboard, so the freepers have to tear him a new asshole for it...just like the asshole they tore him for killing Osama, the one for killing Muammar K, and so on and so forth.
