[Hoot Gibson]

If the Dem's had ran somebody else or the Republicans hadn't tried to run that old man and that idiot, I wouldn't have voted for him either. Just like coal can't afford to vote for people that go against their way of life, I can't afford to vote against my way of life either. Republicans are notorious for trying to pass legislation to bust unions.

Unions cannot provide job security and they cannot protect hourly wage rates when the government seeks to destroy the companies that employ their members.

I agree with you about John McCain. I really, really hated to vote for him as the lesser of two evils. Mit Romney would have been the best person to have in the White House during difficult economic times, hands down. The silver lining is that Obama has performed so badly so far and he has exposed the far left wing agenda of Pelosi and Reid, and he has delivered a loud wake up call to Republicans, moderate independents, and moderate Democrats. 2010 is going to be a political bloodbath for Democrats, which would not have happened had a Republican won the 2008 presidential election.
