KING: What else, Governor Romney? You’ve been a chief executive of a state. I was just in Joplin, Missouri. I’ve been in Mississippi and Louisiana and Tennessee and other communities dealing with whether it’s the tornadoes, the flooding, and worse. FEMA is about to run out of money, and there are some people who say do it on a case-by-case basis and some people who say, you know, maybe we’re learning a lesson here that the states should take on more of this role. How do you deal with something like that?

ROMNEY: Absolutely. Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.

Instead of thinking in the federal budget, what we should cut — we should ask ourselves the opposite question. What should we keep? We should take all of what we’re doing at the federal level and say, what are the things we’re doing that we don’t have to do? And those things we’ve got to stop doing, because we’re borrowing $1.6 trillion more this year than we’re taking in. We cannot…

KING: Including disaster relief, though?

ROMNEY: We cannot — we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral, in my view, for us to continue to rack up larger and larger debts and pass them on to our kids, knowing full well that we’ll all be dead and gone before it’s paid off. It makes no sense at all.


So - I guess we oughta privatize FEMA ... then pay those private people with ???

I seriously think Crisp Crispie needs to furiously back pedal from mitt the twitt, it actually is better for his political career and presidential aspirations if he does ... 4 years and he can be in the position of Mitt the Twitt and the country is sick of the Left ... perfect.

Cool.

I remember when there was no Fema. I remember relief being sent into places by citizens from other states. Like when Wal-Mart TRIED to send help in after Katrina. Fema stopped their trucks, I remember the National Guard going in ( already on the payroll) & Red Cross with their vans. Americans we taken care of then. Why did we change it? Is it better than it was? IDK, I dont really see it, maybe, but I wouldnt know where to go to drag up data to make a real argument, one way or the other.

This is going to be an increasing problem...  
Gov't subsidised insurance for beachfront McMansions is going to have to go away...
Once we all admit this is happening,.. we're going to have to adjust our coastlines,.. or Mother Nature will do it for us....

Yes you did say that JOG, but you should have done a line break between these 2 - like above. It is hard to see where the thought breaks into the next.

Cool.

I predict it will be razor close ... along party lines, and since I cant be bothered to mobilize my voter base I will lose.

Dude this is the internet. AKA - the wild wild west.

You cannot annunciate in text. That's why they made punctuation.

However my joke also got lost. Probably cos I didn't put emoticons infront of it.

Cool.
