Romney = Palin 2.0. No threat whatsoever due to hoisting themselves by their own petards. Obama wins by default in these things, I kid you not.

The Obama admin didn't do a damn thing other than enforce safety and environmental regulations that mine owners and operators did not want to follow. You are putting the blame on the wrong people.

Oh but that's right--no one wants the government involved, until someone gets hurt or another Love Canal happens.

My red state pays for quite a few blue states.

It has more to do with the states that are primarily urban vs. rural, where military installations are, etc. A lot of blue states are "mooching" too.

Look at the exit poll data I linked to. Look at the income of Obama voters vs. McCain voters. No, I am not saying to look at the race of the voters. Look at the income.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's all Obama's fault that coal miners are losing their jobs. Nobody else is to blame. Obama's goal is to put every coal miner in America out of work. Haven't your liberal friends told you? it's our evil plan.

Oh, but this rag CNN has some stupid article about how there's a lot of factors at work. I guess they haven't heard the REAL story.

I would bet that Republican voters in Mississippi are a lot more likely to be paying taxes than Democratic voters.
Even different "policies" aside, I would so lose interest in Obama in a heartbeat if he ever started spouting any of the stuff Romney's been coming out with! And yet you seem to be willing to continually give Romney a pass, and "re-interpret" him, no matter what (and obviously unwilling to cut Obama even the slightest bit of slack).

So question, how bad does it have to get.... how thoughtless, craven, mealy-moothed, heartless, entitled, flip-flopping, hypocritical, etc.... before you would ever go, "enough, that's it, I'm finally done with this guy?!"

West Virginia will vote for Romney because of coal. In that state, the rest of the platform doesn't matter.

I am outraged! The middle east is in shambles! The economy is broken! Obama has been linked to terrorists and communists! And Romney is getting skewered over this???

America has changed! We deserve all the pain and misery that will ensue!
