When the writer was pointing their finger at poor whites in WV, They were pointing 3 fingers back at them selves..........

That logic is clearly flawed.

Ahhhh How right you are. That was my point. People are being bashed for not voting for Obama because he is black. While most of the people doing the bashing are voting for Obama just because he is black.They know he has no way way to back up all the programs and changes. It is enough that he is black

Calm down GottaHerdOn. We don't care what "they" say about us. We don't want their kind coming here and stinking up the place anyway. After all, aren't we the very people Obama types are afraid of - - - what with being bitter with the love of God and loaded guns? It's no wonder Obama didn't even come here. And as for the Wicked Witch of the West, she won't be the next President either.

Divided we fail. United we stand. And I believe all Americans will be standing united in November. Ron Paul for President! He'll be on the ballot and is the only man who has always voted in keeping with the US Constitution every step of the way on every matter.

Ron Paul. Remember the name.

Why are people so jealous of West Virginians who display Class and Friendliness toward others?

Could it be they are jealous because they are themselves, classless and unfriendly toward others who do not share their views?

I hope the WV fans just showed some class in return. That's usually the best way to handle things a sporting event.

By the way, I didn't even knowthe Mountaineers and Obama were in the same division. Well, you know, fans tend to talk smack -- especially around playoff time.

Heck, I'll even cheer when Barack is awarded the Heisman Trophy. But, I do consider it a compliment that his supporters "bash" us. Even if the logic is flawed, we must be doing something right.

The blacks are the racists.

It's a reverse barometer and shows us that Wv's values and social mores are still solid.

'Butt-crack Obama's stooges and the media may sway most of the country, but as A. Lincoln once said, "You can't fool all of the people all of the time."

W'vs are not in the Lemming Category yet...

This thread was started approximately 18 months ago. Wonder how the Obama supporters/West Virginia bashers are coping with their "in retrospect" realization that we were right all along!!!??? I guess we're just too smart to become part of their Pygmalion Self Fulfilling Prophesy.
