Nowhere in the quote does Romney say, or even suggest, that FEMA is immoral.

He doesn't specifically single out FEMA, but it is included under his umbrella idea that it's "immoral" to run up debt in order to pay for programs such as Disaster Relief at the Federal level. His comment was another of his vague answers to a question that did mention FEMA by name. But no, FEMA doesn't come out of his mouth. Some have connected the dots.

(sorry, I was too slow, but was addressing the same thing Lemon Drop was apparently)
All he's doing here is what politicians always do: he's reverting to the general, boilerplate talking point to avoid answering a specific question. He's saying it's immoral to run up debt & pass it to the kids, period.

Please don't get the idea that I'm defending Romney: I think he's an oily, duplicitous prick. But this kind of "dot connecting" to put words in his mouth is the same kind of tactic that's decried here when it's done to someone on "our side." It's BS when Swampy does it; it's BS when Lemon Drop does it. Yes, I read the quote. YOU try again! :booty:
