So if they were once "vibrant little towns" WHY didn't they have sewers and running water?
After all, just a few posts back you said the following:
These were either "once vibrant" - which I would assume means they had running water and sewers (after all, I can't imagine ANYONE calling a town "vibrant" if it doesn't have basic water and sanitation) - or they are places so backwards they don't have sewer and running water. They can't be both - they have to be one or the other. Sewer and water lines don't just suddenly go away because a town falls on hard times.
Seems to me that one or the other of your two posts has to be total bullsh*t - so which is it?

I fully suspect he is.
So?
And what "far right paradise" is that you are referring to?
Arizona?
Beautiful state - love the views and the weather, but "paradise"?
No - that would be Hawaii - or better yet Bora Bora or Rarotonga.
WV is not a swing state. That makes it a so what state.
Good point. You folks in WV can whine about Obama all you want, but when was the last time you folks put a Republican in the Senate? You reap what you sow.
So are education, footwear and marrying outside the family. Why should anybody care what people in that area think?
couldn't you say that about a lot of states, not just WV. And I might add, what do you really know about the state, other than what you hear from the media? Of course it is a poor state, like most rural states, but there are a lot of people living there that are anything but uneducated, barefoot and marrying their cousins....
