Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Another Day, Another Lie

The one about Chrysler and Chinese Jeeps?  Or the one about Obama removing the work requirement from Welfare?  Maybe the one where he claims he never said he wants to privatize FEMA and Medicare?  So many Romney lies to choose from.  Let's go with this one today:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As a result of Hurricane Sandy, both President Obama and candidate Romney said they would suspend/cancel all campaign activities.  But first thing today, Romney appeared at a "storm relief donation drive" near Dayton, Ohio.  (Hurricane-ravaged Ohio?)  Mitt applauded the effort to collect canned goods, but first subjected the charitable givers to a 20 minute campaign/bio video that someone just happened to bring along to this non-campaign event.  Oops! How'd that get here?  And who decided to show it?  Oops again. 

Mitt, you're a Big Fat Liar.  This was a brazen photo op/campaign activity if there ever was one.  If you were really interested in disaster relief, you'd show up on the east coast.  And tomato soup is lovely, but the real relief effort will take money.  Lots of it.  You're a rich guy.  If you want to provide some real private sector assistance, not that "immoral" federal money from FEMA, get out your checkbook and stroke a big one for a couple million.  Then get your goofy church to match it.  I'm sure the elders can muddle through minus a few bucks.

And has it occurred to you, dear Mittens, that most of this donated tuna fish and ravioli will wind up in the hands of the "47%", the "takers-not-makers", the people who "don't take personal responsibility", that half of our society that you, Mitt-Witt, have said you just "can't worry about"?

What are ya, some sort of enabler?
