Mark Foley Is Already Famous, Donald Trump

Donald Trump made an interesting promise at a rally, yesterday. He announced to his audience that everyone sitting behind him, in the path of the cameras, would be famous as a result where they sat at the event. Then he made some inflammatory statements about Seddique Mir Mateen, the father of the deceased suspect who has been dubbed "The Orlando Shooter". Apparently, Mateen attended one of Hillary Clinton's events, and was spotted on camera. Trump proceeded to make him famous because of it. What Trump failed to point out, however; was that at the very moment he was making someone at one of Clinton's events famous, he had a little bit of fame at one of his own events.

Mark Foley, who at one time represented Florida in Congress, was seated behind Donald Trump, in clear view of the cameras. It really wasn't necessary for "the Donald" to promise fame, though. Foley is already well known. Foley was the co-chair of the Missing and Exploited Childrens Caucus, and he sponsored the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act of 2006. His involvement with those two agendas strongly suggest that he disapproves of child predators and kiddie porn. But then, he sent some sexually explicit and completely inappropriate messages via instant messenger to congressional pages. He resigned during an investigation. So, what was he doing at a Trump rally, seated behind The Donald, himself? Certainly not seeking fame, as he already has it.

Mitt Romney Panders At The Expense Of Storm Victims

 

Mormon Republican, Mitt Romney, doesn't stop. He said he was going to stop campaigning and leave everyone alone because of Hurricane Sandy, but he went ahead and had his pandering session anyway, and renamed it a "storm relief effort". Here's the problem: the Red Cross needs donations of cash and blood. He is collecting food and other goods, which currently cannot be transported from Ohio to the places that would need it if the Red Cross were able to use it. The people who showed up with goods were told to wait until he arrived, and pose with him for pictures while giving the items, personally, to Mitt Romney. Had Joseph Smith ever heard of a pharisee?

Here's a description of what went on: "The event itself was billed as a “storm relief” benefit, and the Romney campaign asked supporters to bring with them food and other goods to donate to victims of the storm. But soon, reporters poked holes in the campaign’s explanation for staging the rally. First, the relief event was scheduled for the same time and location as a recently canceled political rally. Then, photos emerged, showing that donors were asked to wait to drop off their goods until Romney arrived to accept them himself, suggesting a photo op not unlike the one his running mate Paul Ryan staged earlier this month in a soup kitchen. And Salon noticed that the targeted recipient of all of the donations — the Red Cross — doesn’t even accept most of what the Romney campaign collected in Ohio."....thinkprogress

Here's a picture of the condition of a lot of the roads on the East Coast right now:

Don't listen to Mitt Romney. He's a liar. The Red Cross needs cash and blood right now, more than it needs anything else.
 

Million Fag March

We had a Million Fag March here in Topeka, Kansas. Gage Park, to be exact.....the home of the beginnings of Westboro Baptist Church's dumbass shit. I wish I had known about it, so I could have gone. No; I am not gay, but I think all the nasty biases against them is wrongheaded and nasty. Had I known about it, I would have gone to support the Gay Community in Kansas. I could have helped them organize some music or entertainment, and make it an event everyone would want to attend, year after year. Even if I were stupid and prejudiced, like the folks in Westboro Baptist Church, (and; I suspect, most OTHER Kansas Christians) I would not wear my hatred on my sleeve and be proud of it. It is a sign of ignorance.
