White House press: Aren’t you worried that Mitt Romney will politicize the hurricane?
Washington Examiner ^ | October 29, 2012 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/29/2012 8:55:40 AM PDT by Snuph

During a weekend press gaggle aboard Air Force One, White House reporters were naturally concerned about Hurricane Sandy and questioned the White House Press staff about the president’s hurricane preparations.

But one reporter was anxious to know if they were prepared for Mitt Romney.

“Are you worried about the possible politicization of the storm response?” the reporter asked. “We’re a week out from the election. Governor Romney might say something about how you guys are responding to it or going to rallies and that stuff.”

“Well, I don’t want to predict what Governor Romney may or may not say,” Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest answered. “He certainly does have an interesting track record on this.”

The MSM is so deeply in the tank for the One, that they’re worried Romney might take advantage of a natural disaster for political gain!

That speaks volumes as to how corrupt, dissolute and servile they are to the regime in power.

( * White House press: Aren’t you worried that Mitt Romney will politicize the hurricane? * )

No White House press.. we are not worried that Romney will politicize the hurricane.... but we KNOW that Obama, the Obama campaign, and the Main Stream Media WILL politicize this hurricane and won't let a crises go to waste.

Obama campaign ? Main Stream Media ? Atlantic City is under water now, how come Obama didn't use the stimulus money to build a giant concrete wall out in the ocean to protect Atlantic City ?
Is the main stream media going to report intensively on the news of looters in this storm Sandy as they did with Katrina ?

Remember

when Dem leaders carefully refrained from politicizing Katrina? Avoiding any hint of blame for the George W administration? Because they were only concerned about what's best for the country?

That's right! You don't!

Romney will wisely say nothing of the sort, allowing the voting public to see how foolish and petty these people really are for expending mental energy on such a thing.

If Romney stays away from words like “wind”, “rain”, “flood”
“storm”, “water”, “danger”, “prayers” and a few others, he’ll likely win the election/s

Look for Hussein to declare a “national emergency” because of this natural disaster (see recent executive order), institute martial law and void the election when Romney wins. Time to lock and load, Patriots.

And he should continue to do just that. In fact, he is using his campaign bus to shuttle needed supplies to those areas already affected by this super storm. Actions speak louder than words and I hope all who see can hear the message.

Precisely what he should be doing. Let the actions do the talking. Frankly, I cannot say anywhere close to the same for Obama, and unless some miracle happens, Obama and/or the MSM will be exactly the ones saying that since Romney didn’t die a martyr in this storm, that he didn’t do the right thing.

Every four years, since the invention of the internet, we have been informed that the next presidential election was going to be voided by the psycho in charge who refuses to give up power.

The only thing that changes is which side has the loonies worrying about it.

It's not loony to worry about what the loonies might do when they are in power, because they accuse others of doing what they'd like to do.

It is loony to suggest a moral equivalence between the loons and the non-loons.

The real thing that changes is not the loons themselves, but whether the loons are in power at the time.

Just remember where you heard it first (control of internet will be high up on his list).

I do.

It was around 1998, when Clinton's FEMA was building interment camps for dissidents, the UN forces were circling black helicopters overhead, and the CIA was spreading contrails in the sky for mind-control purposes.

I had to go to DU to read all about how Bush was going to pull it off. He had the Mossad, the Bildebergers, Geronimo's skull and the NRA on his election-nullifying team.

Obama's got Acorn and MSNBC. I'm not too worried.

I think I heard it being broadcasted from a speaker on top of a brown Suburban going around the block in Chicago's Loop. The truck had "Lyndon LaRouche" plastered all over it. I think this was in 1980.
