This is how I know Al Bundy isn't a Massillon fan. He supports Mitt Romney.

gosh a ruddies, they do not seem to comprehend what good leadership is. They have no understanding of tolerance or compassion for the needy. They because of their intolerance they are unable or willing to see the greatness of President Obama. They are overcome by the base emotions of selfishness, avarice and intolerance. They have a vulgar hatred of our first African American President. Short, pithy phrases are best used to try to overcome their prejudices. At this time an extended reasoned argument would be wasted on them.

My only prejudice is a contempt for failure. I do, however, have an intolerance for those who label people racist for refusing to lower the bar and daring to have expectations.

All Massillon fans are on food stamps?

gosharudies...the censored picture from Facebook...Obama is a great dictator.

Shouldn't Mitt being a businessman understand the concept of economies of scale and therefore know why the Red Cross and even most other charities/food banks prefer monetary donations to physical goods?

Logistic reasons for that preference aside, charities can oftentimes get a much better price for the same product as someone else could due to agreements they have with suppliers and simple bulk savings. The Red Cross can probably get two cans of beans for the same amount I pay for one which is why it makes sense to give them money rather than buy them goods.This is precisely why the Red Cross asks for monetary donations or blood donations after events like the recent hurricane.

So why wouldn't Romney base his hurricane assistance rally type events on that sort of goal? Probably because writing a check or collecting money doesn't make as good of a photo-op as seeing Mitt standing at a table sorting canned goods.

Also, Christie deserves reps for how he's been with this whole thing. He's very critical of the President (obviously being a Republican and all) but he gives him praise in this situation because he's handled it well. That's the type of thing where if Christie does more of that he'll be in a very good position to do well on the national seen in the future.

And Romney needs to answer the FEMA question. Does he still want to get rid of it or has he changed his position to whatever is politically expedient at the time on that one too?

Did you miss the part where there were two giant TV's giving the Red Cross information if people would like to donate? It amazes me that people are hating on Romney because people brought non-perishable items.

You are under the assumption that the federal government needs FEMA to assist states in disaster situations. It doesn't; it's just another layer of bureaucracy.

Funny thing is, after Katrina, Dems were all for disbanding FEMA. Now that Obama has dispatched them, it's a great organization.

No but we're sympathetic to the people on government assistance like the Dover 'necks.

That hasn't been Mitt's stance on FEMA. It hasn't been that he wants Federal funding for emergencies just not FEMA, he wants to get rid of Federal funding for emergencies.

Except the campaign bought a lot of that shit and arranged it on the table/gave it to people so they could have Mitt standing there taking food items for a photo-op.

Edit: And the criticism of FEMA after Katrina was that they were disorganized and slow as fuck. Not that it or Federal emergency funding should be gotten rid of.

IWP is obviously scared of a small government. There is no reason why states can't handle disaster relief for themselves.

I'm saying the campaign bought the goods then had attendees pick them up from a table so they could take it to another table where Romney was so it appeared they were bringing in the goods themselves.

The problem isn't that goods are being donated, that's a good thing (even though cash or blood is far preferable and the charities really don't want this kind of thing), the problem is that they claimed they were suspending the campaign and then turned this into nothing but a campaign ploy.

right between his campaign commercials when he is telling people he has suspended his campaign

hardly they were for firing the Bush cronies whose incompetence had so increased the suffering.

What you're not on the privatization bandwagon? Come on, get with your party's platform.
