That said, if you're going to try and put down your opponents, you should at least make certain your spelling is correct.

"The sauce that's good for the goose, is good for the gander".
i.e. republicans would not hesitate to politicize tragedy.
Democratic hesitation has got us were we are today, a political morass.

And this is what these people voted for. It has to do with life. Storms are part of life. I don't see why we cannot talk about it. Would you say the same of Newtown? Politics is part of life. No one is immune from negative things happening to them, and politics having something to do with it. This attitude is just self righteous. It's like oh wonderful, I see a chance to be self righteous, identify with victims, and therefore always be in the right.

During a Presidential election season that was very contentious, Christie (a pretty conservative Republican) showed no hesitation to put partisanship aside and tour the damage with Barack Obama. He's far more popular as a result. Americans as a whole want the parties to work together on national emergencies.

Romney can't be shamed into doing something. He's a fucking pathological liar. The only thing he cares about are his "own kind".

I really don't agree with the message. I support a strong government so that individuals in need do not need to depend on individuals like Mitt. If they had to depend on Mitt, they would be living in tents and waiting in bread lines. I still think it is good for people to read. So I guess I like the graphic, even though I don't agree with the message.

Maybe the OP is trying to follow the grammatical rule for one man, several men.

I reposted it.

I lived in Florida, so I realize two things:

1) It's the Cayman Islands or the Caymans
2) Tax dodgers with any class keep their money in Switzerland.
