Romney ignores questions about eliminating FEMA after Sandy storm horror lays bare the illogic of GOP’s limited govt ideology
I notice the right wingers like Romney always refuse to acknowledge their ideology to the wider public especially when harsh reality lays bare the utter folly of their ideology.
Romney ignores questions about eliminating FEMA

KETTERING, Ohio – Mitt Romney repeatedly ignored questions about his position on federal funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at an event for storm victims Tuesday.
After speaking briefly to supporters and gathering donations Romney, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and some campaign staffers headed outside into the cold, rainy afternoon and proceeded to load up a yellow Penske truck with supplies, canned goods and other donated items.
‘Governor, are you going to see some storm damage?’ one reporter asked.
Several others again asked Romney whether he would eliminate FEMA.
‘Governor, you’ve been asked 14 times. Why are you refusing to answer the question?’ one asked.
Romney ignored the reporters’ queries and continued loading up the truck. Earlier, during the event, he ignored similar queries.
During a 2011 primary debate, Romney supported the idea of curtailing federal disaster response and letting states and the private sector take on a bigger role.
