Republican Romney's lies about taxes and the economy are not supported by facts.
The late L.T. Anderson had the answer: Have the prayer at the end of the game. Those who don't want to pray can leave when the game's over; the devout can stay and have their prayer.
Why give tax breaks to millionaires like Republicans want to do? They just do what Romney does and stash it in the Cayman Islands and overseas and it doesn't do this country any good. All it does is make rich people richer and the middle class gets virtually nothing.
People who believe the hogwash that Shelley Moore Capito's fed you in her op-ed piece "100% support for coal" need only read the Gazette's editorial "Transition, Coal down, gas up," in the same issue to understand how much the people of West Virginia should be waging a war on Big Coal. The taxpayers of West Virginia pay for the devastation left behind as it has in McDowell County.
Since Obama can force people to purchase health care that they don't want, why in the world can't he force people to get off the taxpayers' backs by getting off welfare and getting a job? I don't see any real difference. Both are a drain on the taxpaying, working, everyday American.
Any chance we could get replacement politicians? There simply is no possibility they could be worse than the originals. Maybe some with an 'A' after their name for American rather than 'D' or 'R.'
I would suggest searching the term, "do Mormons believe in more than one god" on the Internet for many discussions on the subject.
If I were an employer whose business is being devastated by these unreasonable economic and environmental policies to the point I must lay off employees to survive, I would go out in the parking lot, figure out who is driving cars with Obama bumper stickers, and give them pink slips to show them [their] vote has consequences.
I for one was hoping that the replacement refs would do well because the regular NFL refs are terrible. Well so much for that. How quickly people forget the regular refs blow calls on a regular basis as well.
Most of the fatal accidents along U.S. 60 in Jefferson have involved alcohol. The bars should start taking some responsibility. Telling drivers to be careful and asking for more lights is good, but it might be a better idea to quit sending drunks out to walk along busy highways.
Regarding the breastfeeding articles, I am proud to say that I breastfed my child long after 12 months. She was a tiny preemie but the healthiest one in daycare. For a couple of years she nursed every night before bed. It was a very special time that I loved from beginning to end. ... You will never regret it and your child will reap the benefits.

Reader says he watches and reads the news every day and knows exactly what Romney said with his "47 percent" comment. You only know what the news media has edited and wants you to think.
The saying is, "Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Give him a pole he eats for life." The Bible story has nothing to do with it. It's plain, simple common sense and that's what confuses most liberals.
I work for a major national corporation with 20,000 employees and I have been told that they plan to hire and expand if Mr. Romney gets elected and will have no choice but to have a major layoff if President Obama is reelected.
Unlike the Pelosi-led Democrats who voted for Obamacare without reading the bill, Republicans read the bills and understand them before voting. That's why Obama's jobs bill failed. Like Obamacare, they were bad for the country.
Food stamps won't buy you a car or a house or the kind of life you dream of having. All food stamps do is make you dependent on someone who wants your vote!
If you are a senior citizen who depends on the interest off of Certificate of Deposits to supplement your Social Security, do you think you can afford four more years of Obama, who prints money at will to lend to banks at almost zero interest rates so that banks don't need to use our money?
Concerning the 47 percent Romney stated, "My campaign is about helping people take more responsibility." He referred to "those who are with [Obama] who are dependent upon government [and] believe they are victims."
Or only three options: An immediate drastic cut in every government program, an immediate drastic increase in taxes or insolvency and third-world status. Every day we delay only ensures it will soon be the third choice by default. Our 'wretched excesses' are about to come to an end.
If the 47 percent of Americans that don't pay income taxes really do pay taxes as reported by MSNBC, there would apparently be no injury in cutting Medicaid, food stamps, and welfare payments. They're pulling in an income and don't need to live out of the pocket of the rest of us.
No wonder our budget deficit problems never get attention. Our President has been campaigning and fundraising almost nonstop for more than a year. Congress refuses to do anything but adjourn and campaign for re-election. All so everyone can have two or four more years to do nothing. Wake up people. It's time for replacement politicians.
