(The Register-Herald Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Oct. 4--Sticking to her conservative principles, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito again Friday voted to oppose Wall Street's multibillion-dollar parachute on its second, and this time successful, float through the House.
West Virginia's two Democrats in the House -- Nick Rahall and Alan Mollohan -- voted with the majority in a 263-171 roll call.

I wrote Capito thanking her for both her votes against the bill. After over a year of living in West Virginia, I can finally say that there is at least one good thing about the state.
I agree. I’ve lived in WV for 10 years and I can’t understand why they keep putting the same people (Byrd, Rockefeller, Rahall) back in office with no results other than pork. Rahall’s southern district is one of the poorest in the country.
My wife keeps asking why things are the way they are here in the WV. Why are things in such bad shape (economy, taxes, trick or treating on a night other than halloween “!” and just plain stupid laws & regulations)? I always respond the same way - this is what happens when liberals are given free reign.
