6/13/11: Asked about federal disaster relief to recent tornado and flood victims, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said disaster relief efforts should be privatized.
At the end of the clip, Romney says that it’s evil to heap loads of debt on your children and grandchildren after you’re dead and gone.
Of course, what he means is, after you’ve passed on into the next life, and you’re in Mormon heaven looking down on your children giving them supernatural guidance with your supernatural, afterlife powers.
Right?
I don’t really mind if he wants to believe FEMA is evil and immoral. What I do mind is that he does so while representing the party of the “moral majority and religious voters.”
I’d really love to see the bible verse where Jesus said “I got mine so fuck you!”
The Daily Kos had a great line on an article covering this; “See, in Romney’s world, funding disaster relief is immoral because of teh deficit, whereas giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans who can evacuate to one of their dozens of vacation homes?
Not so much.”
