That could be just a bunch of lies from democrat union goons who would never have a kind word for a company boss who is a republican.

Here’s what WVA voters with a sympathetic view of Blankenship see:

But in any event, Blankenship is history for this race. The focus is now on Morrisey and the picture is not looking good for Morrisey against Manchin.

Morrisey lost a US congressional race in New Jersey where he’s from. He gives most voters the impression he’ll say whatever he needs to say to get elected. To his credit, he’s a Trump supporter. That makes me happy but his appeal and his numbers make me sad.

Bullcrap. Miners were complaining about safety issue at Upper Big Branch Mine for years. In 2009 alone, Massey was issued 515 citations at UBB for safety violations. If anything, MHSA was lenient on Massey and Blakenship. They didn’t shut them down and didn’t issue a fine. Just because he’s a Republican doesn’t mean he’s a good guy. I’m no union goon, but Massey is a poor example to use as an example of Union and Government overreach.
