"He is black" was the first thing Kenny Perdue, the state's AFL-CIO president, said. {snip}
The president of the United Mine Workers, Cecil Roberts, spoke after Perdue in a parking lot set in the flat plateau below the remains of a strip-mined mountain.
"I'd rather have a black friend than a white enemy," he said.

Btw, I am not sure McCain is Irish nor am I sure Sarah is Heinz 57, I just used those to make the point.
I HATE politico.
Yeah @$$hole, Senator McCain spent five years in the Hanoi Hilton just waiting to be released so he could come after you. You are an un-American scumbag.
They seem to overlook the small fact that people in West VA just don’t like gun grabbing, pro abortion socialist liberals. No matter what color they are...
More MSM propaganda.
If Obama wins then the white rank & file union workers will be replaced by ACORN people and illegal aliens from SEIU illegal alien union which is closely connected to ACORN.
Cecil or whatever his name is running the union there in WV will be kicked to the curb so fast by Obama and ACORN/SEIU his head will spin. That boy will be out of job faster than he can say “Robert Byrd.”
Everybody - Volunteer & Donate.
Make sure we are all at local McCain HQ helping out with GOTV the weekend before the election. If you are retired - volunteer now. Ignore the polls.
Wouldn't that just piss people off, because they are being pressured into voting for Obama or else they will be what they are supposedly being called?
Stupid strategy, and I think it will back fire.
“I’d rather have a black friend than a white enemy” is code for “I prefer a politician friend who will shovel some graft my way”.
Typical white union thug.
That’s understandable.
Well isn't that lucky for all the black people? /s This Dem is trying to tell everyone how tolerant and accepting he is of "the coloreds," I guess. That's about as condescending a comment as I've heard today. Jerk.
“Casey, the Democratic state chairman, alleges...
“John McCain is confident that ignorant, redneck racists are not going to vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama is black,” said Casey.”
Disgusting.
Kenny Perdue and the AFL-CIO hasn’t run off enough companies and jobs so now he wants to ruin healthcare too.
I don’t think I want to be lectured by a stupid job killer.
What the hell would Kenny do if he wasn’t sitting on his *ss bad mouthing people who risk their savings to open a business and to have Kenny & the UNION try to run it.
Hey, Kenny, when YOU provide ONE JOB then you can lecture the rest of us!

Kenny Perdue
“Within Our Reach: Health Care for All”

******
Opening the rally, Kenny Perdue, president of the West Virginia AFL-CIO, said, “You ought to be mad as hell.
“What are we leaving for our kids and our grandchildren? Thanks to George Bush, not a damn thing.
“He has brought the country to a pre-Depression mode. And we are in deep trouble around the world. We’re going to have to work a lot longer to make it to retirement.”
Perdue criticized John McCain’s plans to privatize Social Security and tax health care for most working people.
“McCain is a mirror image of George Bush. If you want to leave something for your kids and grandkids, there is only one person you can vote for in this election.”
Kenny Perdue:"West Virginia's coal industry and its miners are facing a growing barrage of lawsuits and legal maneuvers from activist environmental groups and advocates who seem to have a singular mission of destroying coal mining in our state. Even more insidious, these attacks and legal battles are being waged almost exclusively here in and against West Virginia."
Kenny obviously isn't very smart. He is SUPPORTING the candidate that is the environmentalist and supported by those left wing nutjobs! DUH!
The Army Times poll. Very interesting.

Comparison chart on business.
0 supports card check. Tell that to your union guys.

“He is black” was the first thing Kenny Perdue, the state’s AFL-CIO president, said”
What he SHOULD have said was he was a Muslim connected socialist liar who has friends among the communist left-wingers who hate America.
hey ole cecil doesnt care about nothing but his union of health workers/gov employees/and whoever and a few coalminers,but he can scratch the miners if obama gets elected,he aint the brightest light in the mine,Pres Bush was the best friend WV miners ever had,but the umwa wont admit it,socialism is on the far right of most of them.
Sadly, we are on the precipice of socialism. Some of my neighbors are union members and are voting the way the union tells them to. Sheep to the slaughter and they don’t even realize it. Hopefully we canpull this one back from the edge.
If McCain can’t even win VW, its over. That being said, I don’t believe Obama has a chance in Hell there—this is just more MSM propaganda.
