Can't wait to hear how Sandy is responsible for all the polls being wrong after Romeny wins.
Obama voters were so traumatized they didn't vote or something.

In other news, my son's pee-wee football team also lost. They will finish their season with a perfect 0-8 streak. God bless ya, son! I'll still buy you Black Ops 2 so you can forget about this season.

Obama went to Orlando last night in order to do a rally with Clinton this morning at 10AM. Instead, Clinton will do the rally himself while Obama goes back to DC. Press has been left in Orlando because the pilots of their plane say it is too dangerous to fly back.

Besides being the right thing to do, it shows a lot of savvy.
Not to get to cold and clinical here, but he's cut a lot of expenses (visits, ad buys, etc.) that weren't going to happen anyway (if power is out, people aren't watching TV, for instance), and he's getting to campaign anyway (using his bus) while associating his campaign with compassion.
I'm not even sure he thought of it that way, it mayjust all be coincidence. But that's the practical effect nonetheless.

The press being forced to stay in FLA is prime for conspiracy theorizing...
Hey, do y'all remember that time when Obama was holding a presser with the White House Press Corps, and then he bailed a quarter of the way through and turned the podium over to Bubba? Allegedly because Michelle would be mad at him if he kept her waiting? Gosh, those were good times. Talk about standing up and making the tough choices as the Leader of the Free World.

Allen, I was trying to come up with a faux lib smear of his action, but I can't.
I'm sure they will...if he doesn't hand out the supplies personally or something. Or they'll show video of moar supplies entering the bus than leaving!!1!

Am I the only one impressed by Romney's choice to use campaign buses to deliver relief supplies?
Not at all! I'm sure Romney's campaign staff see it as a positive campaign maneuver, but I have no doubt that Romney himself sees it as simply doing the right thing. I don't expect the press will let him get away with not talking about it, but like all of his private charitable actions I don't think he'll want to make a big deal about it.

He's just another upperclass white male feigning sympathy for the poor and downtrodden! It's just a shameless ploy for votes! We will call it... DISHGATE!
They'll try the same thing with Romney's buses. Expect "Busgate" to start trending on Twitter any time now. And it'll be just as vapid and pathetic as Dishgate.

I'm not "impressed," and in the world before Choom Boy, no one else would be either.
It was simply the right thing to do. That is what an honorable, decent human being would do. That Osama Obama wouldn't/didn't do that is nothing more than a sign that he is every bit the self-centered worthless asshole he has spent years proving himself to be.
Of course he's also an America-hating traitor, but that should go without saying.

Pay close attention, because it has been at least a couple decades since anyone used 'becoming' when referring to you.
Back when you were cranking out your term papers on a manual typewriter, you took the time to correct mistakes. You knew the professor would judge you. We judge you, M-Clog. Know your audience.

I disagree. The "standard" would be the cancellation of the events, ad buys, and fund raising actions. To then turn around and use the bus to deliver supplies is not "just the right thing to do," it's an "above-and-beyond" choice.
And, again, I don't think the political aspects entered Mr. Romney's head at all. Which, in a way, makes it even more impressive, politically speaking.

>>Obama let our people die because he cares only about being reelected and forcing his will on this country.
Yeh, I still can't quite figure out how he would have looked bad if they'd attempted a rescue.
I suspect that it was because he was bragging about Al Qaeda being mostly gone and if we actually had troups fighting against them, that wouldn't be very convincing.
So it wasn't that he was worried about looking like Carter with a possibly failed rescue or anything that concrete, but that he had a political "truth" about Al Qaeda and damned be any facts that got in the way of that.

Can't listen to the audio. I don't guess someone would be willing to transcript for me?
As for the AP thing: One, we knew it was a coordinated attack. This just backs that up. Two, it's despicable and pathetic how the AP tries to make this bad for Republicans.
Republicans, embroiled in a heated presidential campaign, seized on the confusion. They have accused the Obama administration of being hesitant to call it a "terrorist attack" linked to al-Qaida because that would weaken one of Obama's key campaign selling points — that under his watch, al-Qaida had been weakened and Osama bin Laden had been killed
...
Ansar al-Shariah, the group whose members are suspected in the attack, is made up of militants with an al-Qaida-like ideology, but it is not clear whether it has any true ties to the terror organization.
WTF? First, we know they are linked. Second, al-Qaida is the Coke of Terrorist organizations. Whenever you mean "Terrorist Organization to be determined later" you sum that up as "al-Qaida."
That's just pathetic.

If American troops die, it's 100% negative press. Also, if American troops needed to rescue the American Ambassador in Libya (Obama's adventure), it undercuts the myth that Al Qaeda is dead and that Libya is a happy safe place now.

I saw Shep Smith yelping about bodies on the Interstate. Later that night (I think), I had a turning point regarding New Orleans and media hype. Stories were leaking about bodies stacking up in the Civics Center. Rapes in the Superdome. Cannibals loose in the Crescent City.
This was when I laughed out loud: Gerry Rivera, following Shep's pleas on the Interstate bridge, was whining nervously and going hysteric over bodies at the Civic's Center. He was shouting and saying stuff like, things are going to blow, and there will be rapes and mayhem (he was scared, and folks were pacing behind him, but mostly looking at his freak show). He then, after shrieking for America to come save them (him) an elderly black woman came to him with a photo of one of her missing grandchildren (people were all over the place, in Houston, etc in mass evacuations with no one knowing where they were). Geraldo ignored her photo and snatched a 2 year old baby out of her arms. He grabbed the baby's face, pointed her to the camera, then screamed "America, THIS is the face of New Orleans!" The baby promptly starting screaming and crying too. The grandmother looked at Geraldo thinking "You are crazy, man!" And grabbed her grandbaby back. Geraldo was in complete meltdown. In spite of my grief over the Coast and the devastation of Katrina, I started laughing. Since then I have not watched anything involving Geraldo and remain amazed that FOX allows him to broadcast from their network. Maybe after my Benghazi battles with the other networks I will start on them about Rivera, since he has now insulted Judge Woods.

Instead of having a tight center eyewall consistent with a tropical cyclone the "wall" should spread out over a much larger geographic area, bringing the worst of the winds to a wider swath of land as it merges with the big Winter storm north and west of it.
That's why folks are confused about why there is such a big deal about this storm.
It isn't just a hurricane. It is a hurricane on a collision course with two other fronts which will join energy into one mega-storm.
The Perfect Storm was created in the same way.
Jack Straw told us earlier what it was like to live through The Perfect Strorm in New England.

It's because of how the hurricane is expected to morph once it interacts with an inland cold front to become a bigass, nasty Nor'easter. So Frankestorm is actually a fairly apt description, in that it's taking parts from two weather systems and joining them into one big, ugly monster of a storm.

U.S. stock index futures fell on Monday with investors continuing to fret about the weak revenue picture developing for corporate America, and as U.S. cash equity markets will be closed due to a huge hurricane expected to hit the U.S. East Coast the later in the day."
Barack picks all the losers.

One other thing, as hurricanes begins to decay, forward speed increases but they don't add that to wind speed. So if HC is moving NW at 20 mph with 85 mph winds the first homes on the barrier islands of NJ are gonna get smacked really hard.More like a Cat 2.

Here is a link to MSM outlets to call and complain about the lack of coverage for the Benghazi attacks and, especially, the lack of a story since SEAL Tyrone Woods' father's story and the "stand down" order.
Please call or email for these four dead Americans:

Liberals say the same concentration camp, take away all of your rights nonsense about every Republican candidate. And these are people who would give away everything and blindly follow Obama like a cult leader

Of course flooding is going to be bad from all the heavy, sustained rains.
But how do Sandy winds measure against the MAJOR Hurricanes Katrina and Ike that also brought in major tide surges?
In strict adherence to the Constitution, when the time comes that your community seeks federal aid rebuilding highways that Sandy destroys, remember that you owe Gulf Coast Texans and Congressman Ron Paul your apologies for expecting them to do without because of your own prejudices regarding who deserves what and who really counts as Americans.

Sandy max. sustained winds range from 18-30 with gusts at 40...since when do those numbers qualify as Hurricane force winds? Connecticut is warning sustained winds at 40-50 mph by later this evening. The model construct warns of sustained winds from 30-50 mph tonight. True, the announcers promise that the winds will pick up. To be a hurricane, they must.
Cat 1
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 74-95 miles per hour Damage Category: Minimal Cat 2
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 96-110 miles per hour Damage Category: Moderate Cat 3
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 111-129 miles per hour Damage Category: Extensive Cat 4
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 130-156 miles per hour Damage Category: Extreme
Cat 5 even worse

While I can't say anything good about what I saw of Newark proper, the towns in Orange County were lovely as were the people I met.
Blessings and prayers sent your way, FS. You have a great Governor who knows what he is doing.

At some point, you and yours have to make a decision to preserve your own interests. They must realize this.

Republican Governor and there are lots of Romney voters here. NJ will go
Blue as it usually does but the crap about our state is not
appreciated.
