Disaster aid, Mitt-style: Romney sending campaign bus for Hurricane Sandy relief
by Laura Clawson


Mitt Romney faces a major challenge looking like he cares about or would, as president, respond effectively to a disaster like Hurricane Sandy, especially given that during the primaries he called disaster relief "immoral." So while President Barack Obama has left the campaign trail to coordinate emergency response, Romney is looking for a way to seem relevant and caring. And he's hit on ... sending his campaign bus to "help with disaster relief."

Romney was originally slated to campaign over the weekend in Virginia, but canceled plans there and joined running mate Paul Ryan in Ohio. Curt Cashour, Romney's Virginia communications director, tweeted Monday that the campaign bus will instead be used to transport basic supplies to local storm-relief centers.

The Romney campaign will also be collecting supplies at its offices in North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

1. How many flood victims has mitty effected before the flood ?

[darkangel218]

2. I strongly oppose calling rmoney Mittens.

It is a huge disrespect for the kitten mittens

There is nothing cute or fluffy and scrunchy about him. So please reconsider?

[JI7]

5. i agree , call him Rmoney or Willard

[LTR]

7. I agree!

I have a cat named Mittens and I am deeply offended!

Call him Shit-for-brains.

[darkangel218]

9. I dont know who first started calling rmoney mittens. Defenetly not a cat lover tho

Shit4brains is perfect

[WorseBeforeBetter]

13. It's emasculating. "Mittens" it is.

And I have two cats. And love them.

[darkangel218]

15. I dont know, it bothers me.

Cats are awesome creatures, rmoney isnt.

His name is Willard, why not call him Willow? That's pretty emasculating.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. "Willard" is enough in itself, for anyone familiar...

with the movie.

[onecent]

17. I think they gave that name to him cuz it means he's a PUSSY

[Ilsa]

3. RMoney will only put out for disaster relief if

it's Mormons who are the majority of victims. His charity I'd the LDS church. I've never heard otherwise.
I think it's been awhile since Utah had a trifecta of hurricane, northers, and nor-easters.

4. The Red cross has already said they don't want supplies

Why doesn't he just open his wallet? He wants branding.

[freshwest]

10. +1. But those dollars don't show up as well as bigger things for attention, though. Useless. but big

[rightsideout]

6. Those supplies and the Romney Clown Bus should be quarantined

Who know what germs Romney's campaign could be spreading.

[Canuckistanian]

8. He's sending a WHOLE BUS?

Yowsers.

[Autumn]

11. So romney sends a useless bus . Obama sends in Navy carriers.

I just have to say that being mitt romney must really fucking suck at this point in time.

[11 Bravo]

12. And for a small donation, flood victims will be allowed to have their pictures taken in front ...

of Mitt's bus!

[onecent]

16. LOL LOL...that made me laugh out loud...n/t

[wandy]

14. US Navy sends in carriers to help NY, NJ after Sandy....

Well as president, Mr. Obama can do that. Not show boating just..........
We have the resorces, let's help if we can!
I'm sure in the likness of GWB, Romney would have those resources pointing wepons at some third world country.
I just hope my countrymen know how important a difference that is.

19. he's got over $250M stashed in the Caymans. He could write out a huge check.

Make a fake gigantic one like they do on the Reader's Digest lottery thingy, for a nice photo op while he encourages other 1%ers to loosen their grips on their wallets.

But that won't happen evah. He spent over a million getting Rafalca to the Olympics. His *campaign* donated $5,000 in unwanted canned goods from Wallies. He'll personally donate....squat for the unwashed masses.

[Raine]

20. He needs to keep his ineffective self out of the way, that's the best thing he can do in "helping".
