Idiots! They apparently do not want to accept the fact that they made a mistake, nor that Obama has been pretty clear he'd like to shut down the coal industry.

It's amazing how self-destructive human beings can be.

Obama has been pretty clear he'd like to shut down the coal industry.

So they can turn to Romney?

Earlier this week the Obama campaign released in Ohio the first coal-issue ad of this cycle, claiming that Romney has flip-flopped his position on coal. The ad includes comments that Romney made as Massachusetts governor in 2003 standing in front of a coal plant, saying that he wouldn’t support jobs that kill people.

They don't seem to have anywhere to go.

I wonder if "union solidarity" is going to kick in -- other unions supporting the position of the UMW; well, I mean other trade unions, of course. This is no skin off the nose of public sector unions!
