@xXAngelicEvilXx What part of Ron Paul wants to abolish FEMA did I get wrong? And here is a little tid bit of info for your 1st grade mentality, our President doesn't apologize to terrorists, he targets them in their homes and kills them, while telling jokes at press corps dinners:) You take your abolish FEMA message to a disaster zone bone head and see how popular you are:) I actually pay my taxes and don't mind portions of that money going to americans in need of disaster relief!

@kylethompson4 Why would any respectable person believe in an organization that gives you trailers that make you sick? I don't want to be forced to pay for something that does such an inadequate job.

And yes, you have misconstrued his position. Let me guess, you'd rather have Obama-Lite, an insane hypocrite who wants to build a colony on the moon, or a religious nut, or even a President who apologizes to terrorists. Because they are SO much better. Idiot.

@xXAngelicEvilXx...excuse me :) He has said repeatedly that he doesn't "Believe in FEMA" and thinks it should be abolished. I don't think I've misconstrued his position, his postion is quite clear, and his success (or should I say, lack of) at the ballot box, reflects the general concensous that little of his ideology is practicable in todays America!

@kylethompson4 That's not what he's saying. Nice play on twisting the words though. He's not against fellow Americans helping fellow Americans. But my coercing the taxpayer to pay more money (and they're already paying income, state, sales, property, etc. taxes, and trying to pay bills and provide for their families) IS unconstitutional. That was his whole point. It seems you just want someone to throw stones at.

@kylethompson4 LOL yes really? I just cant make sense out if this. Especially after the Tornadoes have ripped through here over the last few days.

[kylethompson4]

Don't live near the coast...because a hurricane may destroy your home, and don't live near a river because it may flood you over and don't live on a fault because a quake might shake you down, don't live in the mid-west because a tornado might ruin you and don't live near a volcano because it might errupt and Pompay you! Don't live anywhere a wildfire might burn you to the ground either...oh and don't ask Sen Paul for help should a disaster hit you because that wouldn't be "Constitutional"

@THExHOUND Mitt Romeny say's he would have signed Obama's indefinite detention law......and their both backed by Goldman Sachs......Yet this is who the american people choose to be their leader..... retards is the right word

@airic554 Is what why? Like i said, if the US saves trillions on dollars by ending wars and the drug scam war, we can make a better fema. I have no problem paying to help my fellow Americans through fema, and neither should anyone else. In the end, without fema, the katrina victims would be much worse off. Governments DO NOT leave their citizens to rot in the streets over a natural disaster. Not unless you are North Korea or Iraq. Is that our goal?

[airic554]

@JabberCT LOL yeah. is that why thousands of katrina victims got sick in trailers given by fema, and THEN asked to REPAY them back? fuck off haha

[JabberCT]

Fuck this guy. If he is going to do things like end the war on drugs and bring all troops home then this country would have plenty of money to make a better fema. A governments main responsibility should be to protect and care for its citizens. You dont leave them in the fucking streets to rot and rely on crooked insurance policies that most cannot even afford. Fuck the gulf coast. Disasters can happen anytime, anywhere. I dont care how safe you think your home is, you cannot beat nature.
