Make sure all of you righties dont put a claim into fema
stop cashing your SS checks and dont put any more medicare claims in
Donna hows mittens

His butler has a butler. How about your pathetic existence?

righty - No worries. No FEMA claim. Simply housing a displaced family WITHOUT the government having to tell me to do so. You see, as Americans, we step up to the plate in a time of crisis. A photo op by a guy whose mouth is the place where words go to die isn't going to help one iota the family living with me now. But if having him here gives you tingles, who am I to deny you that happy feeling.

righty - One more thing....who is mittens?!?!

sexist? Donna how do you feel about the fair pay act? Mittens didnt have an opinion
Are you in Mittens binder?
Come on Donna tell us are you in favor of legitimate rape?
Donna is Sarah Palin a socialist?
After all she lives in AK where just for living in that welfare state she receives a check from oil profits
Bristol Palin instead of being on dancing with the stars would have been better on 16 drunk and knocked up but thank god mommy has money cause Levi didnt

Donna, "Mittens" is a nickname the leftie Obama followers gave to Romney. When they don't have anything substantial to say they resort to name calling.

What timing...who was the brilliant one in this administration who thought it was a good idea to visit...on a weekend...when homeowners are there trying to work on their houses! How ridiculous! We were there today and the streets were blocked off all the way down to island beach state park. We wanted to leave and had to wait for an hour until we could leave. He wasn't doing anyone any favors by coming down on a weekend...again, homeowners are off from work and want to get things done...not be incovenienced by this nonsense. True to form for this administration.

NO gov't handouts. No insurance too bad!

"righty - One more thing....who is mittens?!?!"

Mittens-n, one who thinks he can insult 47% of the country and half of the world and still win an election. Synonym - LOSER, antonym - Obama.

You sound like Yakety Yak, don't talk back

you mean the one left by Mittens

Righty - Amen for proving my point that intelligence on the left is non-existent. Your mom must be so proud :) Your sexist, pornographic commentary could use some maturation. I guess it's tough having the disposition of a 14 year old prepubescent male who is trying to have grown up dialogue. You are indeed the reason I cannot support a single candidate or idea presented by a leadership that caters to the likes of fools. I stand corrected though. lt seems like VP Biden's mouth is not the only place that words go to die. Yours seems to be a vocabulary cemetery as well :)

Rick name calling? lol
I guess you havent been watching the news the flip flopping right cant run away from Mittens fast enough

pssssssssssssst Rick

President Obama had a lot to say do you know why Ricky?
no matter how much you and the other whining republicons cry Mittens is not going to win

Spare us your sanctimonious pap.

DID YOU?
And what will Biden's photo op do to help anyone in Seaside or elsewhere along the shore?

I think your missing the political point. By Biden doing as you say a "photo op" . . .will take the pressure off the administration if the Republicans in Congress want to obstruct assistance to those who need it. So Bluebeam & Donna, I'd be careful what you sow...could be setting your party thinking into another political trap. . .but look...you carry on!

biden won't do anything, he'll think he's in Coney Island

Joe im sure they are the same folks who will file false claims
I guess they missed it when theri hero Mittens said fema is get this immoral

Spooner - Seriously?!?! Your guy is in charge....this is his Katrina. Sound familiar?!?!

Donna use the on button you sure need it

Oh, Righty....it seems you have a crush! Please find another woman to harass. I believe I've done my community service in an effort to enlighten you. Now it's time for you to take your medication and return to your cell. Have a good weekend.

Donna...Katrina. . .Please! They the towns, state, First Responders, Feds, neighbors, Power Companies, outside contractors have all been magnificent in their response. In three weeks a lot has been accomplished and done. . .Is there more to do. . .Yes. . .and we'll get it done in spite of you and others complaining...

Donna,

This is his Katrina? You have to be BSing me. I live in the disaster area in New Jersey, and we have made a big comeback. We haven't had any incidents such as "Brownie, you are doing a good job" or ice trucks driving all over the country. Go put you head under a rock and I'll let you know when to come out.

Hey Marty: how are things on Staten Island?

Hey Donna

Did you miss "your guy Bush" Katrina video with Brownie
priceless

Crush? lol its not the 50s WW2 is over
harrass? lol i was just trying to enlighten you to reality which isnt working

Leave it alone you have all ready gone blind

Yeah, like the national 24-hour storm coverage hasn't done that already.

Dear dope,
I seriously wonder id your synapses are firing. Are you a special needs person?

Hey Clyde, beat up any kids in wheelchairs lately? Hypocrite.

I couldn't agree more.

A pretender, I couldn't agree more.

Preach on brother!!! Thank goodness Dems won !!

Really? Please let me know how much Biden's visit raises for disaster relief. I guarantee you it'll pale in comparison to what Snookie and her crew managed to do for us.

I would love to see the final numbers.Total cost of trip against total donations.

Biden comming should make normal people put a hold on their checks. He's just show-boating. The problem began a few weeks ago. Now its the "Look-at-Me" democrtats showin' up.

Hey Donna

What has Mitt done for ya?
Dont forget Donna Mitt said Fema is immoral or didja miss that

JB - Um....Mitt does not hold political office so I'm not so sure why he is such a topic of discussion here. Um....I don't expect political leaders to DO anything for me. I'm kind of a fan of personal responsibility. Sorry if that offends you.

Doona-agreed. I am a fan of responsibility myself. If you were stupid enough to live by the beach without flood insurance then Boo-Hoo. No checks for the stupid.
You have to rebuild? Take out a loan and get a second job or sell you lot.
Bunch of Obama leeches looking for a gov't handout.

JB - My bad. My comment was intended for the wunderkid, aka rwh. Walter - Actually, unless you have flood insurance, FEMA benefits do not even kick in with respect to replacement cost assistance. People are finding out the hard way that they had an obligation to act to get private flood insurance coverage. Don't know that I would call them "stupid." I think that with the government taking over EVERYTHING, many thought that they would just be taken care of in an event like this. Unfortunately, government picks its winners and losers. Unfortunately for waterfront and flood zone residents, it isn't them.

The only thing that would have been worse for the victims of Sandy would have been if Mittens would have won since after all I did see Mittens say Fema is IMMORAL but so is wearing magic underwear

Obama did visit!!! Was in constant contact with Christie and came only days after the storm. Unlike Pres. Bush during Katrina, who didn't give a flying rats A$$. He went to New Orleans a week later. Only looked at the devestation from Air Force One. Did not even get out of the plane and talk to the people that were effected.

Obama also visited a week later. He got his parade into Atlantic City. Bush did a flyover because much of New Orleans was still flooded and if he had landed and driven into the city it would have caused a big disruption of relief efforts.
Remember, Bloomburg asked, or rather told, Obama not to come to New York because it would only hinder the clean up process.

Hey JO

Funny i didnt see Mittens do anything or give a dime from his magic underwear

make sure you tea baggers put in your claims hypocrites

rosa - Actually, it was the local leadership that didn't give a "flying rats...." in Katrina. Remember those flooded buses never used by the City of New Orleans to evacuate the townsfolk? The President is not providing the leadership here in NJ just as he is not responsible for the lack of leadership in Staten Island. The emergency response is on the local and state level and frankly, I think it's been pretty good in Jersey considering the magnitude of this storm. It will be up to us, here in Ocean County, to rebuild. To wait for the feds to do so will be to our detriment.

Sharpton and Jackson are not our leaders, but thank goodness Obama is. Oh yeah, and Barney, you are a bigot! You're probably Barney from the Flinstones era, where there were no black people in that tribe.

I agree and I voted for Republicains but, this crying nonsense is getting old.

bythe,

i'm a racist, I'll never get over this white vice-president

Nah,,they have to keep on whining,,it's all they have!!

besides lie and fly in his magic underwear what did mittens do besides insult more then half the country

I don't think it's a Republican/Democrat issue on the VP's visit. I think that anyone who is going to divert resources in a disaster zone needs to do what they do from afar. Don't know whether anyone was on or near Fischer, Hooper or Rte 37 yesterday and today, but it was a traffic nightmare with people and construction crews making their ways on and off the island. Those folks needed to be on the island. Of all people, VP Biden needs to respect the work that needs to be done here and not distract one second of resources by being on the ground....unless he's an expert in flood remediation....which I am going to assume he is not. I would say the same thing to Cheney if he were to come or suggest they fly over the region.

Are you still without power? I have seen plenty of coverage of Seaside and other shore areas on the news. Do you think Seaside is the only place that was hit by Sandy?

psssssssst Rick Mittens lost , your not in the 1%, and yes Rick climate change is real but since your a right i hope you didnt ask the fed govt for aid
after all Mittens the liar in the magic underwear said fema is immoral
How do you spell hypocrite Rick?

Get your facts straight about Obama visiting after the storm. I can't stand when people comment and don't have thier facts straight. And your also wrong about the Bush visit after Katrina. There were places where he could land, A week later there were parts of New Orleans that were not flooded. The Weather Channel was there and so was most of the media. He just did not want to get his feet wet. Boo HOO

Rosa, might want to get YOUR facts straight about Bush... he didnt WANT to land because it would take away resources needed for the cleanup. You do understand that in order for them to do any visit, the secret service shuts down places, takes away police and other resources from the cleanup.... is that what you would rather him have done? Waste money and time by making sure he could have a photo opp? Gimme a break....

The earth is cooling.

http://tucsoncitizen.com/wryheat/2010/12/15/nasa-says-earth-is-entering-a-cooling-period/

Frank,,,,,,,,it;s so sad that these losers just don't get it!! America spoke,,Todd Akin,,,gone!! Richard Mourdouch,,,,,gone!! Allen West,,,,,gone!! Scott Brown,,,,gone!! Joe Walsh,,,gone!! Mitt Romney,,,gone!! Joe Kryllos,,,gone!! I could go on, but you get the point!! This was a referendum on the GOTP, and it's very clear that America said,,,,,"so long party of crazy!" they just don't understand that! But as I always say,,,Ya just can't fix stupid!!!

JOE WALSH? GONE? VERY SAD

Uhh...that is some weirdo's blog. Don't believe everything you read on the Intergoogle.

From "Audacity of Hope":
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Wrong Frankie boy.

Obama, Jackson, and Sharpton are the racists!

White and successfull is evil unless you are a union boss nowadays.

the clan was a democrat organization , dope

Jim Crow laws were also democrat products.

Old bigoted dixie crats from the South became the modern day bigoted Republican old,greedy, white, male Republican party of today after the signing of the civil rights bill under Pres. Johnson. Just in case you low information tea bag losers didn't know.

From "Audacity of Hope":
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Gene, yea johnson's policies really worked, he yore down ghettos to build more ghettos. More poverty now than then. All he did was stop the riots of the 60's, at least they haven't shot at me since then.

Maybe your just not use to having a president and vice president that give a damn. It's not a photo op, you said it yourself the election is over.

Where is Romney/Ryan, what are they doing for the people of NJ? Just because they lost the election does not mean you don't do anything to help. Mitt should be donating his millions to help with the recovery. I did not see any news feed on that

How do you know Gov Romney isn't making contributions to the recovery efforts? Obama is worth over 10 million. Has he opened his own wallet?

Not if mittens won ann
after all Mittens said fema is immoral as is paying taxes but mittens wanted to increase spending on the military? was that magic math as well?

Rosa, you most likely wont ever see news on the charity and donations Mitt does because he keeps most of it private if possible. Did you know that he personally donated the milk quota for the VA hospital after he found out they didnt have enough money? He did that for years without anyone knowing it was him besides the milk man. But I am sure you didnt see that in the main stream news because that would make him look like a good guy vs the evil greedy man they wanted you to see... Check into how much money O has ever donated... he cant even help his relatives living in poverty here and in other countries.... Mitt dontated his salaries in many positions to charity.... has O? Just food for thought....

rosa Romney should take all his money out of the US economy for his own good. Let the cheap thieves like biden and obama donate, that would be a miracle

Disgraceful.................. and you call your self an American. Its one thing not to agree with a party or not be fond of the president and vice president but to mock him like that. Disgraceful!!! Everyone making comments on here like yours should really be ashamed of yourselves!!!

Yes! And we can all be sure you never said anything negitive about Bush/Chaney.
Oh wait, you did that in your first post. Something about him not giving a fat rat's a$$.

but youll put your fema in right dave

rosa, you would have followed hitler into hell, fool

OK Cindy, great. We're glad batteries were on your list.

If you think Sandy got Obma elected your trully living in a bubble!! NJ, NY, PA, and the rest of New England was going to Obama!! This is why Obama won is because, the Republicains have lost their way and have become blooming fools!!

The Pit Bull (Gov Christie) didn't go to AC with Obama to give him a boost in the election. He went because Obama is the current president and NJ needs assistance now, not in January. That would be the earliest Romney could have given Federal assistance to the disaster.

so does that mean you wont be filling out your fema wish list?

Hey Frankie Boy,

Where do you teach?

Regards,

Barneylicous

Texas’ economy grew at a rate higher than the national average, and government job losses appear to be coming to an end. The state gained 264,700 nonagricultural jobs from September 2011 to September 2012, an annual growth rate of 2.5 percent compared with 1.4 percent for the United States. The state’s private sector added 265,100 jobs, an annual growth rate of 3 percent compared with 1.7 percent for the nation’s nongovernment sector.

Not bad for a bunch of "goobers".

Yeah,all those goobers working minimum wage jobs, living below the poverty line!! Way to go texas!!

frank, what do you buy with your welfare check, pot ?

The majority of America didn't kick Romney to the curb. The majority of America didn't reelect Obama either.
Less than 120 million people voted in the election. That is only about one third of the total population. Don't the other two thirds count?

Barney, Let's hope Frank doesn't teach ANYWHERE.
He seems to have no knowledge of spelling, punctuation or capitalization. But he can call others goobers.

David, You know for a fact that all those Texans are working minimum wage jobs. Texas has a per capita income about the same as New Jersey.
And some people would argue that a minimum wage job is better than no job at all.

frank - If you're OK with fewer folks pulling the cart than those sitting in it, well I'd hazard to say that is not the America I knew as a kid. It is morphing into an unrecognizable, dependent, welfare nation. Works for some, but unfortunately not for the worker bees in this country. Additionally, please take the time to read my commentary before lumping me in with "moving truck" dialogue. I am disappointed Romney did not win. However, even he was not my ideal candidate. My philosophy is simple. Do not spend more than you take in. It's the manner in which I run my household & I would welcome leadership that shares that ideal. I do not need the federal government legislating my birth control, healthcare, solar initiatives, food choices, etc. I'm a big girl and can take care of most things on my own. My government is there to protect our nation and its borders, maintain roads, and respond in times of national emergency (e.g. Sandy). I think we have made it far more complicated than it truly needs to be. The most catastrophic policies are ones that promote multi-generational welfare and a failing educational system. I believe that Reagan said that if a foreign nation did to the American public education system what we ourselves have done, it would be considered an act of war. Our obligation is to leave our children a nation better than it was when we found it. That will not happen with the policies of this administration (PS...I wasn't a Bush fan either).

Clyde - Apparently, we did not get the memo. He is a rocket scientist!

The rest of the world is laughing at gaff-prone Joey "plugs" Biden.

And yet pd stays in New Jersey. Guess pd is part of the typical classless New Jersey trash.

+1

Is Biden bringing food, money and clothing with him?
NAH! Didn't think so.
Will he help clean up any of the mess if there isn't a camera around?

Rick,
You are an idiot! It's the publicity of Biden or anyone else with the press tagging along that will bring what the shore needs. The more people that keep seeing what has happened here, the more it keeps us in their minds, or maybe all you care about IS Lindsay Lohan or who Justin Beiber is banging this week, are you that guy?

Well Mr Brick, My wife might agree with you on the idiot remark.
But why can't the media cover a situation like this without a politician mugging it up? Maybe they should be following the workers around, as long as they don't get in the way.

By the way, who are Lindsay Lohan and Justin Beiber?

Honestly, unless they are a carpenter, plumber or electrician....do we really need them? Taking resources away for one second to appease a public persona who will not do one thing to promote the cause at hand is foolhardy. Someone teach our vice-president how to view a youtube video and show him the darn boardwalk. In the meantime, stay away and let the reconstruction continue.

RWH, Romney isn't the president RIGHT NOW. Okay probably never.
What is he supposed to do?

Ortley Beach. Remember Ortley Beach, just north of Seaside?
Only this week have some owners been allowed back in. Limited sections, bussed in and only between 9 AM & 3 PM.
None of that area is a sightseeing place right now.

Amen, Dorothea! Glad you made it out with your home intact and my prayers are that the rebuilding goes quickly and your back there in no time. My elderly parents were not as fortunate, but thankfully, they are safe and we will rebuild.

You can count on a lock down and a heafty security tab.

Exactly, S.G.... Sad, twisted people saying the same sad, twisted things over and over again.

It's true. The same people who criticize the visit are the same negative and angry people that whine that no one is helping.

It's the same old brainwashed Democrat and Republican jerks that like to get on here and spew their party's dogma. They don't think out of the box, their not leaders only followers who can't live without their party's ring in their noses being led down the path of stupidness. It's us Independents that lead not follow, politicians know this and realize that no politician in the last ten years has been elected purely by their party, but by the Independents that are out there who tipped the scales. You really have to wonder about these Republican and Democrat followers, who would jump off a bridge while their leaders laugh at them. To prove my point, look at the followers in the Ocean County Republican party that re-elected an 84 year old Sheriff! Really? That made sense to you people? Stupid is a stupid does.

Texas is number 2 in GDP, behind California. New Jersey is way down at number 7.

BTW, where did you get your figures from? PMSNBC news?

Bad mental image here. Joe looking at the destroyed Seaside boardwalk and laughing. HA HA, now more tourists will be going to Delaware beaches.

George

republicon? use your own money! that is if you have any Mittens does believe in fema and neither should you unless you my friend are a hypocrite like the other rubes white trash and pineys

Really? Rubes, white trash and pineys?
How much racist bigotry can you spew out in one sentence?

Hey Alzheiner...Never said anything prejudiced. Quit playing the race card.

Washington never goes broke. They just get more money for you and me.

Brick, I don't understand your comment. You believe that government assistance should go to help replace vacation homes?

SG why NOT? do have any idea what these people are paying into all the govmt. funded programs that they get nothing in return from,? They Not only pay their property tax on the home that they spend at best 4 month out of the yr at, but they are also paying that on a primary home.... not to mention if they are able to keep up 2 homes what they most likly earn & pay the Fedl. government to keep FEMA going ITS THEIR $$$ they are NOT asking for a hand out( which they already support) they are only asking for what they have worked hard for generations to keep...

Most of the 'second homes' are not used by the owners four months out of the year. They are rented out during the summer months and that rent pays most if not all of the mortgage, insurance and taxes for the whole year.
And, don't you think priority should be given to the people whose primary residence was damaged. The people who own vacation homes still have a place to live.

Go see the film "Lincoln". There is an interesting take on the concept of equality given by Tommy Lee Jones. I recommend it.

What? Tommy Lee Jones was alive in Lincoln's day?

When they don't visit....why aren't they here!

When they do visit...why are they here!

Debbie

Did you fill out your fema application in crayon?

PRIVATE PLANE my sweet ****. It's a taxpayer funded luxury plane.

Dont worry Debbie yes even you will get your check from Fema
yes even hypocrites will get an entitlement rignt after the republicons

The transportation used by the President, Vice President, House Speaker Boehner, etc. is controlled by the Secret Service.

Unfortunately there are many so-called Americans who wish to harm our leaders.

Grammar, punctuation, capitalization and spelling can change the meaning of a sentence.
Think about the meaning of this sentence without capitalization;
"Yesterday I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse".

Frank, FEMA doesn't reimburse for vehicles. That's what auto insurance is for.
Of course if you didn't learn any grammar in school I can see why you wouldn't know that.

Rick - You are officially my favorite poster in the whole wide world!!!

Aw, golly gee thanks Donna. :)

Oh i bet all of your holes have been found more then once

So what caused global cooling and global warming before Dems and Reps were born?

And you can stay home and collect your welfare check and eat your government cheese.

Rick

seems like you have the market cornered on the welfare check and govt cheese
I hope you choke on it when leaving church lol hypocrite

RWH
In the words of your buddy Joe Biden.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.

pause, switch feet,

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

you who Rick you said "That would be the earliest Romney could have given Federal assistance to the disaster. "
Rick only 2 problems 1 Mittens lost 2 Mittens is against Fema in fact he called it immoral lol
"

Will Biden get his hands dirty or just get his picture on the 11 O'Clock news?

You mean the way Paul Ryan got his hands dirty for the 10 oclock news? OH wait!!! Thats right that photo op was taken after the soup kitchen closed. Yeah thats right.

Rick , lets face it. Your party lost!! Move on and accept it.

I don't have a party. I vote for individuals. And I know that Romney/Ryan lost.
They are no longer part of the equation. Although Ryan can still help. As the chairman of the House budget committee, he can help appropriate funds to help with the recovery.
Obama and Biden can only fly in, look around and say some nice words. Something they are both good at. Well, Obama anyway.

nice try play again Rick

first it was Obama doesnt have the power not this beautyfrom you "Even if Romney/Ryan had won the election they wouldn't have been able to supply any Federal assistance until after the inauguration in January.

Note to Rick
those to clowns ryan and romney are finished

Wow, thats really nice, thanks for posting !

Yes RWH, We seem to know that Romney & Ryan are finished.
So why are you still going on about them?

I will type this slowly for the people who read slowly. Even if Romney/Ryan had won the election they wouldn't have been able to supply any Federal assistance until after the inauguration in January.

BTW, if you did a total 360 you would still be facing the same way as when you started. Better to do a 180.

Sorry but O came here ONLY for the photo opp.... I guess you forget that when Bengazi was going down, he went to Vegas to keep campaigning.. But thats ok because it was in another country and he could blame it on some bogus video protest gone bad... O didnt really cancel anything, he was supposed to spend at least 1/2 a day here and he spent a whopping 90 min total and never met with most of the people he was supposed to.....

Joe - Obama canceled his campaign schedule after Sandy BECAUSE he was the president. To do otherwise, would have cost him the election. I wish he had the same good sense after 4 American embassy workers were massacred in the Benghazi attack. Instead, he chose to golf, attend a fundraiser in Vegas and appear on Letterman. Our president did not skip a beat on the campaign trail at that moment and now will not fess up to the fact that those embassy workers/former SEALS requested military assistance and were denied. He has about as much interest in getting to the bottom of that cover-up than he does in ever keeping a single campaign promise he made in 2008. But Americans will continue to settle for mediocrity.

Donna- you sort have left out that the President and the Secretary of State were at Dover Air Force base two days later when the bodies were bought back. I guess that didn't fit in to your scheduling dossier. . .you want to give it another try...

PS: stop giving us Faux News and the Republican Benghazi ad nauseum talking points. . .they were terrorist. . .they were Al Qaeda...and maybe you can ask Republican Congressman Darell Issa why he voted to cut $300M for State Dept's security budget?

Joey Wools, as usual we agree on so much. It is eerie how I felt the same way about Christie and everything else you commented.

Spooner - Thank you for reinforcing my point. They were at Dover 4 days later, unwelcome BTW by at least one of the Navy Seal's family, for yet...another photo op. When it came time to protect those men, however, Pres. Obama and his administration were absent leadership. So here we are post Sandy. Let's have a parade of dignitaries come down to the beach, tie up traffic, shake their heads in disbelief at the devastation, snap a few pictures and then leave. Whether or not the VP is on the ground or flies over the area in a helicopter doesn't make one bit of difference in the recovery. Nothing was accomplished by Biden's visit here. Again, we are talking about the VICE-president not the PRESIDENT. The folks in SSH are not an amusement ride. It's a beaten-up town with a lot of work to do and a lot of good people prepared to do it. To have roadways clogged up even further on a weekend permitting access for the first time in some parts was a hassle and frankly, self-indulgent.

Spooner - One more thing, do you really think that funding was the reason the administration did not act to protect our dignitary and his staff in Benghazi?!?! Nice try. I'm going to stick with the fact that it was an absence of leadership and dereliction of duty.

Biden is a complete foot in mouth kind of guy.... he is always sayin stuff he shouldnt, there is no filter between the brain and the mouth. He is condescending and rude and that was clear as day during the debate.... He has been, shall we say, lackluster in his performance as VP. He has failed in many of the tasks he has been put in charge of...

As far as helping neighbors, of course thats what we all did... even when we lost it all, we helped others. But as far as the govt role, they should have been better prepared for what was about to hit us... we ALL knew well in advance of this storm and yet FEMA didnt have enough water or supplies at the ready? It shows the lack of preparation by this administration to take care of the people.... plain and simple.... They should leave help to the private sector and charities because they seem to be able to better coordinate things.... just sayin ;)

A lot of people HAD insurance. But, howbout those bogus policies that insured people for zero on their contents. There are more loopholes than a Philadlphia lawyer spending a month of Sundays could figure. A lot of people only thought they had insurance. I doubt any of that was explained to them as the insurance companies cashed the checks every year.

Boy, are you an angry little man...

Quit whining Richard. You are acting like a puppy Jack Russell Terrier.

Somehow rich Republicans are evil but rich Democrats are good?
Eight of the ten richest members of Congress are Democrats.
Think Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Jay Rockefeller, John Kerry, Frank Lautenberg.
And then there are all the liberal Hollyweird types that think the other people, rich or poor should support all the government spending, but they don't want to give up their money and lifestyle.
The average per capita income in the US is about 41K. I doubt any of them would want to live on that kind of money. They probably spend that much on their kid's birthday parties.

I am an independent don't support either of the two main parties. That being said however, I will give Biden credit for having the intelligence to not strap a dog to the roof of a car and not to support the drill baby drill jackholes who would lead the planet into extinction in the name of creating pseudo jobs. Finally will reiterate REPUBLICONS ARE SORE LOSERS! What freakin' cry babies really.

Given the shamble state our infrastructure is in Beach, I am afraid you may be very accurate on that point. We are all continuing to pay residual after effects of this damnable storm.

Taylor Jr. because you flag something as being only a joke doesn't dismiss your rude and irresponsible commentary. It could be percieved as a terroristic threat.

yah but the Cons changed the rules midstream as soon as Ron Paul began to make a little headway didn't they. I think a third party is a pipe dream for at least another decade. I am in favor of it, but given the intellectual savy of the aforeposted I am not optimistic.

How about Asbury? Camden? Newark? All these areas are full of dopes and criminals.

We have pent millions on these people because the LIBS think we can get them off of welfare.

Now Obama has a record 46 million sheeple on welfare and loves.

Yeeeehaaaaw! More crack babies!!!!! More Obama and Jesse Jackson votes!!!!!!

For extra crime, all Texans have to do is look south of the border.

"Whatch"???

Curious as to why you are calling out 'right wingers' as those who are unwilling to help anyone? You do know that statistically Republicans donate more to charity than Democrats right? I personally am from neither party but to me its not about a party, its about the person and I have always seen more 'right wingers' at the places I donate my time and money to. Rarely have I seen a democrat.... so maybe stop trying to demonize the 'right wingers' when they seem to be the ones steppin up to the plate more than your party.... ;)

Who cares about Texas?

How about Trenton?

Hey Texans restored my power after twelve days without. I have nothing but respect for those guys. Lighten up on the Texas slams.

How did this turn into a personal attack? I figure your comment was directed at me and not quite sure why. I have never posted before TODAY so the 'here you go again' comment makes no sense. And where did I state I was better than anyone else? Guilty conscience or something of yours? And no, I am far from lonely, not sure I can say the same for you tho. You seem to be crying out for attention... do you need a hug?

Beachaholic,

Where doyou teach?

Neptune?

Not sure how donating money is somehow "hiding it" and why you think that those donating money NEED to hide it.... again you seem to want to demonize it as a bad thing and those doing it are evil and sneaky. As far as turning it into a political arena, you sure do seem to be contributing to that by trying to pit one party against the other.....

Beachaholic - You really spew an awful lot of class envy. May I offer you a life lesson? Work hard, achieve your goals and rely on yourself. Take responsibility for your actions or lack thereof. Someone else living poorly does not make you richer. Make your own wealth and do not begrudge the hard work and success of your neighbors. Successful, honest people should be your role models in life and provide you with inspiration. Bitterness will not bring you quality of life. Please cheer up, stop with the vitriol and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Beach that was well said. Very well stated.

And who is Don?

AMEN!!

Jerz - It's merely a distraction from nearly 3 weeks of raking muck, pulling sheetrock and tossing wet insulation. We're allowed a little entertainment now and then :)

If you are trying to sarcastically call someone a genius, perhaps you should try to spell it correctly.

Agree...it seems as though the majority who post here are more interested in making it a political thing.

Not quite sure why everyone always has to turn comments into an "us versus them" political thing. In any event, if you were the one incovenienced when you wanted to leave because you needed to use a restroom, and then had to stay there for an extra hour, (the police at the end of my street said Biden would be on Island Beach for five minutes which then lasted an hour) I guess you might not be so "very happy".

lol you are too cute.

Dawn

could you ask the Rubes on this site what has Mittens done?
Do any republicans know Mittens position on Fema ?

Debbie

Ask Mittens for a hand out

Yeah, right on...until you have to use a restroom after working on your house all day only to find that you CAN'T LEAVE BECAUSE THE POLICE HAVE BLOCKED ALL EXITS UNTIL BIDEN GETS OFF OF ISLAND BEACH STATE PARK.

As I was told in another article, you must be off your meds! There's no evidence!

Agenda 21 pick up yer guns and fight
lol turn off fox news and take a breath

And your Party Poopers couldn't win despite spending $577 million in campaign monies that may well have been better spent as fair share tax revenue and used to improve the state of infrastructure in this country. It isn't about the blacks or latinos it is about the green. What the GOP CONS can't swallow is the will of the people and yes the unions who voted in a levelling process that could not be bought by small groups of super-powerful people who thought they could make another presidential purchase as in George Bush Florida days. What the GOP CONS can't stand is the realization that they no longer wield enormous influence to reduce those who do not have the privilege of power to slaves in the hierarchy. Humanitarian concerns are beginning to chip away at autocracy. The Party of Mean lost. That is righteous and good.

a minority?

five little words..."Heck of a job Brownie"

Corporate Amerika no longer allows a person to work three minimum wage jobs. They want you available twent- four/ seven for maybe twelve hours of work per week. There was a time when it was doable it no longer is. I agree w/ the rest of your commentary.

That's odd. you seem to be the only person to mention the Latinos or the Latino vote.

cut off welfare, NOW

Very, very valid point Sal.

Lay-offs, Just like when companies get in trouble and have to do. We need to lay off police, teachers, administrators... called cut backs,only keep what is absolutely necessary. Some of these towns have very small schools. Have one grade per grade level. It could be done. You can't expect one part of a town that was not hit to pay for another. Like Manasquan, Belmar, Spring Lake, etc....It just can't be absorbed. Get rid of all the extra teachers, reading, writing, specialist or in class support..let the grade teacher handle it all. That is how it was at one time, Also get rid of all the unnecessary Administrators, very top heavy for some of these small districts. I can almost guarantee you if you had someone come in from the county or state they can easily be able to make cuts that would not matter. Get rid of the overpriced athletic directors and assistants. I am sure you can hire someone for a lot less money to schedule games. There is some ridiculously overpaid employees that are not needed.

What business do you run? Please tell me so i dont go there.

Probably that crappy restaurant in Pine Beach.

AMEN.

Great Bowie

Then dont cash the Fema check

Well, Marianne as posted earlier, I for one was very happy with the Texan linemen who restored my development's power after being without heat or electricity for 12 days. God bless Texas. We are doing okay, but pretty much walking in a dazed state. It is hard to absorb all of the destruction. I personally know about 20 people made homeless by this storm. It is really just hell with the one saving grace being the goodness that came from so many people in so many ways.

Agree. I was on one of the beaches when the VP flew by. Like 10 Apache Helicopters. Felt like I was truly in a war zone. Don't think it was necessary!

At least the choppers could have dropped some candy, like the Berlin Airlift.

Yah and if Potus and VPotus didn't make an appearance you would all be bitchin' then too.

Granmommy - If you're looking for rainbows and sunshine in this forum, I might suggest a Hallmark store instead. We may banter, we may argue, we may even at times get rude with one another when expressing our political differences. But do not for one minute think that we are not there for each other in our disaster relief effort. In Ocean County, we roll up our sleeves when work needs to get done and we never ask "Who'd you vote for?" We'll get the job done and will rely on our own initiative and some help from our friends and neighbors. Make no mistake, we will rebuild our home town, and I may even go so far as to say that we will be better for the effort.

Donna - You must be investing in foreign markets because the US market tanked after the election. Been busy cleaning up here so I have not followed the trend this week, but my pension (100% self-funded BTW) has taken a BEATING. What I did hear is that there is an effort underfoot to have the feds take over Hostess. That would be the Hugo Chavez move of the century if that were to happen. Maybe a cheese factory next?!? Then we can truly all share in the government cheese.

...actually the Confectioners union has agreed to the Hostess company contract proposal. But that doesn't mean much when you look recent history. Even with past union give backs the company was still bleeding red ink? It's more about management than the unions. . .look at old GM and Eastern Airlines.

If unions were gone there would be no deficits, hurricanes, muslimkenyan presidents or any such thing as "glbt" only BLT.

Spooner - Before you know it given the bailout/buyout history of this administration (and the last, to be fair), nail salons will be federally owned. Capitalism is nearly dead. Long live socialism!?!?

The markets are manipulated by the Fed want a better idea of how Obama is doing look at what the dollar is worth in GOLD ,it has lost over 50% of it's value in 4 years ...or look a what gas cost in dollars twice as much ...

Realitysucks - And my dollar is worth what????

You don't pay in gold my friend you must exchange it for the worthless coin of the relm ....you would pay 800 worthless american IOU's in 2008 for 1 oz of gold and sell it today for 1785 worthless American IOU's ....or hold it for another year and receive a few thousand worthless American IOU's ....
