Romney Donating Sandy Supplies To GOP Swing States — Not NY

What a transparent act of desperation:

Mitt Romney is sending the supplies he asked supporters to bring to his “non-political” campaign event today — to which Romney invited NASCAR driver Richard Petty — in the battleground state of Ohio, only to victims of Hurricane Sandy in swing states that the GOP candidate has a chance of winning: Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania — not the two areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy: New Jersey and New York.

...EVERYTHING is self-serving and self-aggrandizing. Everything has an angle. Every situation is fair game to be used and abused to advance the interests of Rmoney.

Sorry to be graphic, but I just can't stand this jerk exploiting the suffering of others for his own political image.

One image of Obama with a comforting hand on someone's shoulder vs. this piece of phoney dreck? Just go ride your car elevator up and down, Mittens, and leave the administration of this country to adults.

Creep.

He has no conscience. No scruples. No moral compass.

I think of Cindy, a homeless woman living beneath an overpass I'd drive by on my way to work. She would be there with her dog, Darren. I'd greet her and give her a couple of bucks. One holiday I reached out to shake her hand, and she said "Oh no, honey, you don't want to touch me. I'm dirty."

She puts Mittens to shame. Not that he'd ever know. Ugh.

And that is exactly how he would 'rule.' Most of the Northeast and the West Coast could would get no help from him in times of crisis.

Whatever Mittens.

NY, NJ and the CT shore were hit really badly. NH needs supplies? NH? I did not hear they had much damage. There was major flooding in my state (CT) and many people lost their homes. NY and NJ are even worse.

it proves he never cared about the Sandy victims in the first place. And he continues to not care about how it looks.

I mean, that is how mormon charities work any how. They tend to only help people of the same religion.
So, if you are not of their religion or you don't really do anything for them, they will not help you out unless you convert or they are trying to convert you.
