I wonder how WV people feel when Romney refers to the 47% of people who don't pay taxes?

Coal miners should see Mitt Romney as he is now. Do you think he will support the minimum wage? What about your SS? He refers to it as depending on government. Most of WV is made up of poor (referred to by Romney as the 47%). Yet, how could West Virginians vote for a candidate who doesn't care about you? Just listen to Romney. He is exposing himself everywhere. He even made foreign policy mistakes. A member of the G.O.P. actually made the film that angered the Muslims overseas and caused a U.S. Ambasador to be slain. All I ask is that WV carefully looks at the man you are voting for.

3. Not to diss WV...

My son married a wonderful girl from there and I've got a beautiful little Jethro from it. In fact, when my son and his wife split up, my relationship with him cooled and I've gotten very close to my ex-daughter-in-law.

Not so some of her family. Sheesh. Everything negative my little grandson does is because of my side of the family. It's the "Mexican" in him. They make racist jokes, say the N-word like it's going out of style and look at me suspiciously like they think I'm going to run off with one of their tailgates. The older ladies sit around listening to Frances Swaggart run off at the mouth on Sonlife for hours, talking about homosexual orgies. Not that we Texans and Hispanic Texans in particular, are saints in comparison. I could caricature us all night as well. But, in WV, when I see people who work at Walmart at minimum wage, coming home and dissing Obama because he's only interested in helping out minorities with handouts instead of the hard-working "middle-class" like themselves, I can only wonder at the cognitive dissonance. On what planet does a family bringing in $15,000 a year and supplementing it with food stamps call themselves middle class? Probably the same planet as the one woman who told me her husband was a "good provider." He was on Social Security Disability for bipolar disorder.

4. On my way home today I saw a car with a wonderful bumper sticker in WV!

It had a WV license plate and the sticker said; "I support the President"! It was in Morgantown near WV University and it also had (School of Law). I wanted to jump out of my car and go hug the person in the car.
