“...Nick “Joe” Rahall, Joe Manchain, Natalie Tennant, and Allison Grimes, are all running around here ...”
Friend, I hear you.
But that’s THEM.. That’s not Bob the Coal Miner your next door neighbor, or Mary’s husband, across the street, who’s out of work now because of Obama’s policies.
These are the people we need to reach, and wake up. They’re probably gunnies and hunters; they’re probably pretty damn Conservative overall. They’ve been voting D because Pop and Grandpop did - without realizing or paying attention to what that party turned into.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.... but getting those folks where they belong - on our side of the table, the working man’s side of the table - is a HUGE win.
The other side CANNOT afford to hemorrhage voters; so we need to help that along wherever possible.
A favorite quote of mine:
“I once told you, Von Ryan... if even ONE makes it out, it’s a victory...”
Imagine an army of out of work folks pointing the finger right at the folks who PUT them out of work...and then waking up to just who it is who’s REALLY been screwing them for decades.

We can all spew about low information voters. It is the American lifestyle to not read, not find out the truth, but to go to the mall and the movies. I had to tell a girl in her twenties who paid for welfare. White from Ohio.
They need education. They need to hear someone on the streets. In a tent. Have a Constitutional Revival. Go to the state fairs, the local fairs and talk. Go house to house. Go to the local bars.
While we still have first amendment rights.
I don’t disagree with you, but I’ve been watching these same people fall for this year after year after year...
In that sense, they are of the exact same mentality as most blacks in this country. They keep voting for the very people causing their misery.
Democrats cause problems, so every 2, 4, or 6 years they can show up, pull out their huntin’ rifle, and hillbilly accent, and convince them the Republicans are only for the “rich”, and if they don’t reelect them, the eeevvviilll republicans wont let them solve the problems.
Joe Manchain ran a commercial where he took a rifle and shot a “Hole through Cap & Trade”. Who was the first Senator talking about new gun restrictions after Newtown?
Will any of them remember that in 4 years? Nope, they’ll send that liar right back to D.C..
It’s like watching the movie “Groundhog Day”.
