2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumStorm relief rally? Give me a fucking break.
Romney is a ghoul. He's campaigning while people are literally dying at the hands of one of the worst weather events the East Coast has seen in quite some time. Billions in damage.
Notice how all the Romney campaign "storm relief rallies" are in swing states?
What an asshole.

(8,064 posts)then it IS NOT A "STORM RELIEF RALLY". It is a campaign rally.
Period.

(14,624 posts)as an attack on the President. Of course, he'll do it while the storm is still raging and lives are still at stake. Just like the Libya attack . . . this jackass can't keep his mouth shut!

(109 posts)yeah I am watching this shit..his lame stupid story on how they brought Katrina survivors to Massachusetts--Cape Cod---and they thought they were going to Houston--hahaha (his goofy laugh--why is that remotely funny). Such a tool. Then talks about the role of private citizens in donating stuff...Note how he does not mention FEMA's intervention

(50,954 posts)what "relief donations" are.
I'm just outside NYC. I don't really need canned food or money from people in Ohio. I need them to continue to pay their taxes so I have me som FEMA.

(25,415 posts)We are all in CT. My brother is in Lyme not that far from the coast and has tons of trees and some power lines down along the dirt road that leads to his house. He lives along a lake and during Irene he went 8 days without power. There are tons of people with no power here in CT and massive flooding at the shoreline. I am attempting to venture out a little today as my town was not hit as bad as some others were.
People had to be rescued by national guard in CT in some towns that had flooding. I heard the same in NJ.
We have people dead in NY, NJ, PA, CT. In the tri-state area, we have substations blown up, subways full of water, major damage to homes from flooding. High tide rolled in again on the CT shore and brought a 10 foot surge of water, better then the record breaking 13 foot surge last night. Still some bad flooding again today.
Romney needs to just shut up for a little while and let the President do his job. An opportunist who could care less about us here on the east coast. He can take his relief rally a.k.a. victory rally and go f*ck off. I am serious.

(25,415 posts)I am okay as I am more in the northwest part of CT but not near Kent, Sharon etc that got bad winds. I am worried about those on the coast today. The local footage has been heartbreaking. Only two people dead here in CT but lots of homes destroyed and parts of towns flooded.
