A Tale of One Tragedy and Two Campaigns

[CaptainGoodnight]

As I am sure you have heard several states are in a state of emergency due to a sudden thunder-storm that was accompanied by high winds. Millions were left without power during days of record heat.

The people of Virginia have been struggling to find cool places to stay. Hotel rooms are sold out and the few malls that are opened are jam-packed with people looking for some relief from the heat and some hot food.

In response to this emergency the presidential campaigns handled it in this fashion:

First from the Romney Campaign through email:

Friend,
The severe storms that ripped through Virginia Friday claimed at least six lives across the commonwealth and left thousands without power. It could be several days before power is restored to those affected.

If you’d like to make a donation to the relief effort, please bring supplies to the Romney for President Headquarters located at 3811 N. Fairfax Dr., Suite 750 in Arlington tomorrow between 10am and 7pm.

We will distribute donations to various relief centers in the area.

Here’s what we need:

Bottled Water
Non-perishable food items, such as beef jerky, granola bars, peanut butter, etc.
Bring your supply donations to our headquarters tomorrow and we’ll ensure it gets to your fellow Virginians who are in need on Tuesday.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Sara Craig
Virginia State Manager

P.S. We know that everyone wanting to help cannot make it to Arlington. If you would like to donate to the Red Cross, please call 1-800-Red-Cross, or visit this link to make a donation online:

From the Obama Campaign Via Twitter:

Keep cool while you’re canvassing this summer, Our Vote Obama Tank Top is a stylish and fun way to show your support.

This is who Romney is.

Obama wants you to buy a T-shirt.

I thought Virginians were the boot-strapiest of all americans. Why would they seek help as it's just socialism...

Nice bit of self righteous posturing. Obama has mobilized forces far more effective than a canned food drive-

President Barack Obama has called McDonnell and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, as well as the governors of Ohio and West Virginia, to offer the federal government’s help.

Nice of the Romney campaign t pitch in, shameful of his supporters to use it as the op has done...

I bet if those East Coast people were found to not carry any health insurance coverage, they'd be told by the righties to die quickly from the heat exhaustion.

Not bad propagandizing. I give you a B-.

Good job cherry-picking one tiny bit of information to try to make your opponent look bad. Dishonest, and fraudulent, but that is, as you say, "who Romney is".

I know. But I want to be self righteous too.

There is no point. Just a counter to the mindless stuff that dmcowen674 posts.

Did they pay for that water or are they yet again free loading off the system?

 

[IronWing]

Did the Obama campaign delay power restoration as a ploy to sell more t-shirts? Hmmmm.

The day man pays for water Is the day the music stopped where there is plenty to be had but undrinkable. A Crime against the true creater. That will not go unpunished. Who is the you people think you are that you can kill a living planet. You call modern man intelligent Your ignorant of your vary nature because you choose to follow someone who wishes to lead your : Both equally evil, Look at the life on this planet, You think your value is higher than that life. You call yourselves intelligent when your infact a bunch of murderious mindless sheep. I referr only to followers of men who have a desire for power. No good can come from these. The American Indian my people you destroyed so many and pure blooded stewarts of the land has fallen now to a number perdesigned to bring about your end. I speak Of the leaders and followers who go against the earth and the life it supports . You killed my people and claimed ownership of land you sicken me. You destroy everthing that is Good for you; lust and impure thoughts of being intelligent. You bring about your own end; at the hands of what you were destroying> your power is nothing< compared to my mother. Father is also at his end with you. and will burn you till you CURSE at him. Intelligent indeed destroyers of life.You have been damned and witness fulfilled. You intelligent ones have no fear stand tall and face judgement and be renewed and enlightened . You will have the full number of a day which is 1000 earth years

Remember though, that progressives aren't exactly sure the populous as a whole is smart enough to drink more water on hot days unless the government tells them to do so.
