McCain & Palin – My Take
Posted on November 3, 2008 | By Denny Tyler | 2 Comments
If something is bad for the country you can usually tell it in the state of West Virginia. McCain and Palin for example – I’ve seen campaign signs for them all over the place. Almost as much as friends of coal signs. That tells me to automatically vote for Obama. I don’t think West Virginia could make a good decision if it’s statehood depended on it.
When Clinton was still in the race I had countless people tell me they wouldn’t vote for her because she is a woman. I have a question, or two – if McCain becomes President and something happens to him, do you really think Palin would make a good President? I don’t think McCain would make a good President and I hate the thought of Palin having a chance at that position. I saw the debate between her and Biden and hated the way she tried to put herself off as one of us when she kept saying “those darn feds.” If she becomes Vice-President, won’t that make her one of those darn feds?
Their stance on clean coal technology should be enough to laugh them right out of the race. They are decieving the american people from the start, and you haven’t even cast your vote yet. Clean coal technology, in the past, was used to describe technology that takes chemicals out of flue gases from coal fired power plants to reduce the effect of acid rain. Clean coal technology has never been used to describe technology to remove CO2, the primary greenhouse gas, from the flue gas of a coal fired power plant. BUT – when candidates use the term clean coal technology, that is exactly what they are referring to and it has never been done on the scale of a power plant. So, yes, run right out and vote for someone lying to you from the start. As stupid as people are nowadays, I wouldn’t be a damn bit surprised to see McCain and Palin win West Virginia. Personnally, I’d die and go to hell before I vote for a friend of coal for dog catcher.
Our remnants of wilderness will yield bigger values to the nation’s character and health than they will to its pocketbook, and to destroy them will be to admit that the latter are the only values that interest us. – Aldo Leopold

Here. Here. Very good heartfelt post. I feel exactly the same way. How stupid is West Virginia? Why do we continually vote against our own interests? The choice should be clear but yet, it is not! We are worse off now that in any point in my lifetime, and while Obama might not have the right answers, at least his solutions are different than what we know won’t work, which is what McCain plans to continue. Why do we continually believe the hype that comes straight from the coal companies that Obama is the terrorist, socialist, muslim antichrist? Are we really that close-minded and afraid of change, or have the coal companies finally succeeded in buying the people of West Virginia?

unfortunately, both sets of these stuffed suits are in favor of ‘clean coal’.
appalachia loses again. they won’t be happy until it is fenced off and no one can live here. very much like Brave New World. O that we have the fortitude to remain here.
