Only one part of this bouncy is true - it is unbelievable.

An Unbelievable conversation at the tire place this afternoon
I had to go to the local tire distributor's place today to get a set of tires for the front of the tractor. They ordered them a couple of days ago so I just walked in to tell the young lady who runs the place what I was there for. We know each other, and she is not one to restrain herself, at all. So she yells out to me, "what did you think about the debate?" I said I was one hell of a lot happier with the second one than I was with the first, but I was pleased that Obama had come through.

I did not expect this to be well received by the other people in the room, who were two guys sitting down near the desks, one of which turned out to be a tire delivery fellow and the other just another customer like me. Also in the room was a young lady, mid-20's hauling around one small child, and another employee of the place.

It was like someone popped a cork out of a bottle. First the tire distributor chimes in, "Romney don't give a flying **** about people like you and me", he said as in the background the boss-lady chimed in again saying "he don't know jack shit about how we have to live". Right then and there tossed in my little bit reminding them about the 47%, which they were all knew about.

I was just amazed by this because this is about as red a county as you can find in West Virginia. But there it was, every person in the place voiced essentially the same opinion, that Romney was no good for the country, and for the most part we were all just strangers who happened to come together out of nowhere. Folks, I see this as a very good sign.

This is one of the DUmbest bouncies in ages.

Noob DUmmy number-Old-Man wants you to believe that in one spot in West-by-god you can find five out of five people who support the muslim.

WV is crawling with democrats - for generations it's been gospel that they would have all starved had it not been for FDR - but by an overwhelming margin they detest the jug-eared Kenyan, mostly due to his war on coal.

To find five supporters of the muslim, you'd need a much larger crowd than a tire store waiting room could handle, and even then they wouldn't admit it.

He also wants you to believe that in a public place, among strangers, West Virginians would use the vile, vulgar democrat language of the DUmp. It just doesn't happen.

Add to that the typical democrat whine of "that meanie doesn't care about me".  I don't ****ing care what Romney thinks of me because Obama doesn't care about me either.  Guess what, primitives?  He doesn't give a shit about you, either. 

That's okay, though.  We're not hiring someone to be our nanny.  We're hiring someone to be the president of the United States.  Given that the current president has failed- by his own measures, mind you- it's time to get someone in there who knows what the hell he's doing.  After that, if you still want someone who cares for you, well that's up to you to figure out.

And yet they keep electing someone from one of the richest and well known families in the world as Senator for their state.

I guess a Rockefeller knows how they live.

Ouch! Obama loses 41 percent of W.Va. primary vote to federal inmate.

By Linda Feldmann, Staff writer / May 9, 2012

In an embarrassment to President Obama, Federal Inmate No. 11593-051 – otherwise known as Keith Judd – won 10 counties and 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary Tuesday.

Mr. Judd is incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Texas, where he is serving a 210-month sentence for extortion, according to The Charleston Gazette. Judd had paid the $2,500 filing fee and submitted a notarized “certificate of announcement” to appear on the ballot.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2012/0509/Ouch!-Obama-loses-41-percent-of-W.Va.-primary-vote-to-federal-inmate


And yes, West Virginia has a CLOSED primary.  Those were all registered democrats who voted for Mr Judd.

I'm not sure what place he's at in my state, but it's all a lie.  After what obama has done to the coal industry it will be a cold day before he wins there.

Yeah, I am finding it hard to believe that obama can be ahead in any state that has coal mines (West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania). With his war on coal, he should be trailing big time in those states. And anyone who lives in them should be hating him.

If Barry does at least as well this time in WV as he did in 2008, he has less than a "snowball's chance in Hell" of getting over 35% of the vote.

I doubt he'll carry McDowell County THIS time. (The only county outside of the ones with large cities that went for Barry in 2008.)

McDowell County is at the epicenter of the muslim's war on coal.

Despite countless seams of coal 10-12 feet thick, so many mines have closed the county's main industry is probably marijuana cultivation.

It's rugged country. I had a great-uncle who lived in Welch, the county seat. He told me he liked to grow pumpkins in his back yard, but it was so steep the pumpkins would grow to the size of a basketball, then roll off down the hill, never to be seen again.

As a flatland kid, that tale so impressed me I remember it to this day.

I know some life long dems, the kind that pick the all-dem spot on the ballot, that tell me they damned sure gonna vote for the other guy, ie Romney, over obumbles. Only the real libbie types are the ones that gonna vote for obumbles.


Why WV still elects Rockysmeller is beyond me. He ain't been seriously challenged, if at all, in any election in years.

That reminds me, I think West Virginia is the only place I've been where you could simply vote for the chicken or the eagle.

You could cast one vote, for either the chicken (dem) or eagle (Republican), and it would be a straight vote for all partisan races.

Maybe other states have similar arrangements.

Byrd lost my vote back when he cast his vote for the assault weapon ban despite his state being overwhelmingly against it. That told me right there he felt entrenched enough that he could thumb his nose at the people that put him in office. And true to form WV kept putting the old coot right back in office.   :mental: :mental:

Well, when you travel from the Robert C. Byrd Senior Housing Complex over the Robert C. Byrd Highway, across the Robert C. Byrd Bridge, past the Robert C. Byrd Federal Building and the Robert C. Byrd Medical Center, to cast your vote at the Robert C. Byrd Middle School, it's hard to break the habit.

You may think that's an exaggeration. It's not. It's a typical trip in West Virginia.

Then you know how Byrd-saturated the state is.

The only thing in WV not named for Robert C. Byrd is....well, there isn't anything in WV that's not named for Robert C. Byrd.

Every time I visit, I'm amazed at how many new Byrd-things I see.

On behalf of all my relatives, thank you, American taxpayers.

But maybe that will slow down now.

Couple of corrections, GOBUCKS.

There are a few of those "accomplishments" listed twice, no biggie.  I'm sure this list is a very short list.  You can't throw a dead cat anywhere in the Beckley, Sophia, or Coal City area without hitting something named for or after him.

The part of US 119 that runs between Williamson and Charleston is Corridor G, not Corridor L.  Corridor L is US 19 between Beckley and Sutton.  I'm sure both of them are or have something, passes by something, goes near something, or can be used to travel to something named after Bob KKK Byrd.
