To the veteran who didn't vote for Clinton because of his student deferments, I hope you didn't vote for Cheney with his five student deferments and I hope you won't vote for Romney who skipped out entirely and spent his time in the south of France as a Mormon missionary during the Vietnam War.

There needs to be a complete judicial overhaul in Kanawha County of the judges. Anyone who commits child porn is a pedophile. And the meth heads? They're all repeat offenders. Why would you sentence them to home confinement?

This is a sad day in West Virginia when responsible pet owners have to see their dogs killed because parents were not watching their kid. It is also sad that the kid had to die. Something needs to be done with the parents.

The Division of Motor Vehicles should represent our state professionally. At the Winfield DMV today, a male employee had on shorts and flip-flops. Several women had on sweat pants and faded t-shirts. I have a dress code at my job and I'm sure they do, too.

This is to the venter who said that Obama had broken 13 rules of the Constitution, I would like for him to put in the paper which one it was and something that he's got proof of except what Fox News prints.

Instead of Obama having to do all this illegal crap to get re-elected, why don't we just gird ourselves, suck it up, give him four more years and get him out of there and hope we can hang on to what's left of our country.

I attended a few services at a Baptist church and the hatred that was said about our president by some of the men before and after the services made me sick. If Christ himself had walked in with his long hair and robe, they would have crucified him for being a terrorist.

I'm 53 and I drank soda and Kool-Aid when I was growing up and I'm not obese. I also did chores and had gym class in school every day. What's wrong with the kids has nothing to do with sugary drinks. It's called lazy -- sitting on their behinds all the time.

I am an elderly female that has just been scammed out of thousands of dollars. Where do I go for legal help?

The reason that one born in West Virginia lives in West Virginia or has family in West Virginia or any ties at all to West Virginia would vote Democrat is because we're not rich enough to vote Republican.

Well, this is my question concerning the little 2-year-old child that was killed by the two dogs in St. Mary's: Who was supposed to have been watching the little 2-year-old? Why was a little 2-year-old allowed to be out wandering around and wander into a neighbor's yard?

The only reason OSHA is undertaking this no-notice inspection campaign is because overall construction is down in this state therefore their revenue is down. It's not all about safety.

With all the fervor recently over the Hatfields and the McCoys, why doesn't somebody produce a film about the battle of Blair Mountain? It is more significant to the history of West Virginia than the feud.

Could somebody please print the name of three Republican presidents that helped the working man and then tell me what they did?

I don't understand why anybody would not love the EPA. I'm old enough to remember when the Gauley River was an open sewer and the smoke coming out of the Johnny Amos stacks was black, not white. Don't you want clean water and clean air?

It's so dry, all the weeds in my yard are dying.

If you listen to Glenn Beck's radio program through the week, please seek medical attention immediately.

My parents, my husband, my brother, my sister, our children and their spouses and myself are all born West Virginians, we live here, and we are real Democrats, not DINOS, and I'll let you know why. It's one word: education.

Excuse me. Richie Robb's most outstanding qualification to run for the United States' Senate -- besides his years of political service -- is his innate honesty and his sincere concern for the people he serves.

To the person asking about catching a mouse in a trap. They cannot resist Velveeta cheese. You will have your mouse within an hour if placed in their traffic area and you stay out of the room.

Why does V100 continue to give away the Wave and Fun tickets, the news reported that the pool is broken and there are no waves ... shouldn't it be renamed "Puddles of Fun"?

To the reader who complained about no sternwheelers, perhaps you haven't noticed but there is no dock for them. It is only available through the graces of a coal company barge. If they can't send it, no sternwheelers. Or you could get off your duff and join the Riverfest Committee and work on getting the barge for next year.

So Republicans want to do away with Social Security and Medicare because they are "socialist" programs. I suggest they also quit driving on interstate highways, using public libraries, hunting or fishing in national parks or forests, sending their kids to public schools or ever calling fire departments or police for help. These too are all "socialist" programs.

Should Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia suddenly pass away, would they have to bury Justice Clarence Thomas, too?

Why is it important that a president be religious? Do we need someone running the country who is dumb enough to believe one can live forever? When I see the quality of people who claim they will be in heaven, I don't want to go there, if it means associating with them.

Thank you President Obama. He said, "It's the right thing to do that we've got 3 million young people who are on their parent's health insurance plans that didn't have it before. It's the right thing to do to give seniors discounts on their prescription drugs. It's the right thing to do to give 30 million Americans health insurance that didn't have it before."

I for one love Pearls before Swine. Sunday's may have been a little much but that rat rocks. And that cat in Get Fuzzy, he's the man. You have to have a little on the ball to appreciate Pearls before Swine and Get Fuzzy, and I hope that you never take them out of the paper.
