In case you are really interested in what the Mythster actually said, well, until now.

Did Mitt Romney suggest eliminating FEMA? - CSMonitor.com

Personally, if there were THREE choices, and one was that patch of Killer Pond Scum in Creepshow II, then I'd choose it over the Greaseball or the Commie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yST...eature=related (I mean, here we see the Pond Scum giving four little druggies exactly the 'rehab' they need and deserve, so, right there, It is a decisive improvement over the other candidates, and over all recent Presidents)

But given the ONE choice, I'm goin' for Mr. Greazy. I mean, America has survived many head-fulls of hair oil in the Oval Office, and will probably survive this one. We packed away our TVs after the last election, and so my urge to wrestle a certain someone to the ground and give him a good shampooing (like he did to that hapless chap in prep school, to whose hair he took exception)... well, that urge would only be summoned when I walked past a TV at the gym. Someone said that Chairman Mao did not have the sense to run a lemonade stand. Well, Romney has a lot more sense than it takes to run a lemonade stand, and so, if we can't have Killer Pond Scum, then I'll settle for His Greaziness.

However, I think that a combination of 'perfect storm', plus engineered 'widespread looting', could be parlayed into postponement of the Election, and implementation of Martial Law, with the long-predicted aftermath... On the bright side, both candidates work for the same bunch of globalist puppeteers, and so one is only exponentially worse than the other.

"Interesting times" may be here sooner than we thought.

I'm not expecting much out of a cat 1 storm.

We'll see.
You're one of the more sensible posters around here.

No where in my OP I mention anything about income.

Many earlier in this thread claim this storm was no big issue because of it Cat 1 status or would only effect those who live near the water.
As everyone including this post see a Hurricane effects people inland like PA and Ohio both inland states.

Also it was stated there will be little electrical outage but there is already 7.5 million without power and the storm is far from over and only a mere fraction of that will be restored in 6 days. If the effected states still had hanging chads then maybe power outage wouldn't be a problem.
Also in the Outer banks of NC the only main road in the area is either washed out or covered in sand and have no way to polls.

So I still stand by earlier post that I think effected states the governor of those states should delay the election so that all voters can exercise their right to vote.

I think it funny Romney the flip flopper is meeting with FEMA the agency he mentioned about gutting the funding.

I gave up a while ago trying to keep up with the many faces of Mitt. Anybody who believes they know what he stands for, beyond privilege, are fooling themselves in my opinion.

Its 7.5 million

and here your accuracy. Superstorm Sandy's death toll climbs to 38; 7.5 million without power » Abilene Reporter-News

Point is, there no way that can be restored by election day.

The best thing the President should do is continue daily himself giving briefings of what is going with the storm and let his VP and others do the campaigning.

This will force Mitt to keep quiet or he would look political verses a leader as part of the nation is in a crisis.

Personally I want this election to be over as I could vomit hearing another political ad.
We need to stand together and help our brothers and sisters of this nation who are dealing with a difficult time.
