Any West Virginian who votes Repub after this week is a complete idiot.

    " Yeah, that’s harsh. But after the deregulation the Libertarian Repubs enacted caused an enormous chemical spill there, and after the Teabagging Repubs cut the budgets for enforcing what paltry regulations remain, it seems pretty accurate. Note this simple fact: “Republicans” are to blame for the toxic chemical leak that afflicts Charleston and surrounding areas. They are to blame because they deregulated the industries involved.

    Yes, a very few “Democrats” voted for such stupid deregulatory bills: including one that was passed even as the chemicals were contaminating the Elk River. This particular law would pretty much make the taxpayer pay for cleanup of messes caused by private businesses. Jesus Christ on a moonshine still, really?

    But it is a 95% “Republican” policy, passed by 98% “Republican” votes, and so it is a Repub policy. And when you vote for a Repub, you are telling them that you support the poisoning of our water supplies. So if you vote for an Elephant, you are cheering on the destruction of your infrastructure and any resulting illnesses or deaths.
    You are also approving of the way they kicked you in the nuts while you were down, by passing that recent bill which further deregulated the chemical industry even as you could not wash your hair or brush your teeth because of a chemical spill.

    And if you vote to have yourself sickened or murdered, you are an idiot, plain and simple. Remember this come Election Day, and PLEASE don’t be stupid. Your life and health depend on a smart vote."

Can they be any more DUmber than they already are?

3. My opinion as well.

But voting for the mother****er who poisoned your well takes it to a whole new level.

There's no reasoning with these idiots. They are deluded beyond hope.

In case nobody has pointed out the obvious, the state is controlled by the democrat party.  Republicans cannot get anything passed. Nothing.

I think they should shut down all of the chemical industry in West By Gawd Virginia and move them out of state.

That'll show those 1%'er Chemical Capitalists.

You forgot PRESIDENT- democrat.
National Administration - democrat.

Some one was aware of the politics in WV, and commented about it.
Naturally, the response was predictable.

6. Yeah, but our Dems are barely moderate republicans

And I mean that, i.e., barely. It would help if we had some actual DEMOCRATS in office here rather than DINOs, who would fight to protect ALL West Virginians, not just those holding the purse strings. It's very discouraging.

By "actual democraps", he means hand-wringing, panty wadding eco freaks.

Because of their faulty logic and inability to reason, one would get a better understanding by talking to a wall.

Robert Byrd would be in a BURNING MAD mood to find out he's no longer considered a real Dhimmi'Rat.  I have a C-note that says that he still votes.
