My point was that as far as I can see, you’re are putting words in his mouth, and the evidence that I have seen is that he is ignorant of disaster preparedness. I’d like to see statements to back up your assertations. I have yet to see that, but I have seen the argument be skirted and twisted. Up until now, I’ve had no disdain for Mitt. All I want is facts and the truth on candidates, not someone making excuses for their statements or actions, which is all I’ve seen.

I did not put an words in his mouth. He did not really say anything, except to try and politely dismiss the idea that the Feds should be concerned about Hamm radio and apparently this cabal of hamm operators are.

What do they want????A check!!!!

Romney did not diss hamm radio. He simply did not see ow it was relevant to the Federal government who is not resposible for the Communications systems of any State or locality.

After 9/11, the spending spree included moneys for States to use in what ever way they chose to improve communications and first response, largely because they were forced to by Congress as they spent billions.

None of this will be repeated, if I have anything to say about it, and most conservatives understand where the lines are. I know Romney does.

So I was not putting words in his mouth. I am trying to state the obvious, at least to me.

Somehow federalism has gone out the window for some. Not I. Romney would have no comments either for of against something the Federal government has no business in except to the extent that the FCC regulates currently. The FCC does not tell a State what it must have, nor how to do it.

Nor should it.
