I understand about your vote, not you being attacked though.. Romney had a chance here in VA - so while he wasn’t my first choice, he did get my vote.
What I didn’t understand was the attacks on folks like me who were just reporting conditions in our neck of the woods. Being told I was shilling for an Obama government agency as I was watching the water creep closer to the house than it ever has before was not exactly something I took kindly to and that was before the worst of the storm had yet to hit us and was just starting to pound the Jersey Shore. It was ugly and hurtful and so totally uncalled for.
I hope you are having a blessed Thanksgiving.
We had one poster (probably the one berating you) going from thread to thread saying everyone on FR was falling for the MSM gambit to overplay the storm.
The problem was, the storm was not being overplayed. And the public needed to be aware that something serious was coming. Too many were of the mindset of some posters here, that Sandy was just a mere Cat 1 and therefore not going to live up to the hype.
