Speakeasy forum: Romney tries to use hurricane to score political points

Those lucky enough to be still in their homes or apartments can't flush a toilet without power let alone fill a pot with water to 'hand' flush.

Electric flush toilets?

How lazy are people?

Rather flip a switch than push the lever on a toilet tank?

IF you're referring to being on a well and there is no power to run the pump to fill the toilet..Then

Because of flooding, you don't have power to get water to flush a toilet?

I associate flooding with too much water....Take some of the flood water put it a container and dump it in the toilet.....That's how we would do it up here.....

No power equals no water, unless you have a hand pump well too. You really don't think these things out before you reply, do you?

OR YOU don't read before you respond, do you?

.....that he, FEMA, the National Guard, etc. are on the job and things are being taken care of. You know, the same things he was criticized for waiting too long to do after the BP spill.

He goes to a disaster site and he's criticized for it. He doesn't go and he's criticized for not being involved enough.

A visit from the president can be very reassuring to people. It shows them that their government is aware of their situation and is on top of things. Remember when Bush visited the WTC site a few days after 9/11, and stood on top of a pile of rubble with a firefighter? Was that cheap too? I'm no Bush supporter (ask anyone!) but that was a good moment -- maybe the best of his presidency.

Now it's Friday, and on TV news I see people screaming that they have no food or water. Some people are diving in dumpsters for food. The question I see asked constantly is "Where is FEMA? Even the news media are having trouble finding them in the disaster area. Obama came, did his photo op, and split for Vegas to start back on a campaign tour.

surveying the damage

another way of saying looking for casualties/bodies?

Do you recommend sending bulldozers and garbage trucks in and leveling everything and hauling it away without checking for casualties/bodies?

They all have brains...they just don't have your brain.

I would think NYC has a lot of them.

Their forums and comments are filled with godless idiots.

"Moulitsas and Daily Kos became the focus of controversy over a statement that he posted in the comments section of a blog post about Blackwater USA employees who were killed and mutilated in Fallujah:

"Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly. That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."

I'm no political, I dont care for oboma or romney its for this reason. The only thing these scum bags care about is there image. Why not sure your true character and try and actually help these people away from the record. A true leader would do that. Nope, instead its simply how can I do the least amount of work and get the most credit.
