I wonder if after [the] loss to Purdue if Doc Holliday's days as a head coach are numbered?

Thomas Jefferson once said that democracy would cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Congratulations, Mountaineers, on a huge win in your first Big 12 conference game. If you don't fix that defense you all are going to get stomped the rest of the year.

Why is the state resurfacing a perfectly good section of interstate between Charleston and Oakwood Road when the work needs to be done on the I-64 bridge?

I don't know how anybody can't see what's going on. Obama has been in there four years almost and he hasn't done anything really except more or less campaign. They say the Republicans won't work with him. How can you work with someone who's always campaigning for the next election?

I don't know why any coal state would vote for President Obama. No matter who he is, I don't know why he'd do it.

How can a Christian support abortion or not care for the poor? Electing Republicans has never had any effect on abortion being outlawed. Republicans only talk about it while doing nothing to outlaw it. I, as a Christian, vote Democrat because they care for the poor, where Republicans don't.

Is America on the verge of becoming ungovernable? Are we already there?

The elitists who are always wanting a lower capital gains tax rate are disgusting. They always insist that their easy money be taxed at a lower rate than the rest of us pay. All of these special rates need to end. Every dollar earned should be taxed at the same rates for everyone. This is nothing more than welfare for the rich.

CNBC said Facebook tracks and retains user information on 500 million users. ... The Gazette should not require readers to use it to post comments.

In President Obama's TV ad against Gov. Romney for his comments about the 47 percent of this country who are at the government trough, it would be more accurate to show people like the able-bodied thugs who wake up in the middle of the afternoon and stagger out of the housing project behind my place of business to get their energy drinks, cigarettes and beer.

I can tell you exactly how voting for President Obama could cost you your job. Most companies have put on hold any plans for hiring, spending, or expanding until after the election because they believe that if Obama is re-elected, his EPA and IRS will come after them with reckless abandon, through unforeseen regulations, and they will be unable to sustain any growth.

I would suggest a way to stop the many truck accidents on the Turnpike. Write a ticket to those rude, speeding truckers and make it a good one. I know they pay taxes, but so do those of us who obey the speed limit. Their time is no more important than ours.

I am a Democrat. I have been a Democrat all my life and I will not vote for Obama. He hasn't done anything for this country except hurt it.

Channel 8's new studio, I think, is awful.

If I were running a hotel I would not jack up the prices because it's a weekend or there is a football game that not all my guests would be attending. I'll bet you if the word got out that I was doing things that way I'd get all the business and be full up first.

Mayor Jones, please do not let your committee bother the Boulevard. The Boulevard is perfect and you can't improve on perfection. It's beautiful now, it looks great. Just leave it alone. OK?

The so-called newsmen, or rather talk-show hosts at the end of the presidential debates: I hope they don't spend an hour and a half telling me what was said because I speak English very well.

Get tough on China? Kind of hard to tell the country holding the mortgage on us what to do. Most who hold mortgages demand you pay them down -- instead they keep increasing ours because they know we have no self-control. Anybody want to guess how long before that arrangement comes to an end?

No great country has long endured on this earth when it chose to follow the economic and spiritual path we are currently on. We will not be the exception.

Romney stands with the millionaires. He stands with the billionaires. He's not there for people who are out of work because he has made his millions by laying people off for personal profit. How can West Virginians reward that type of man with our votes?

The road crew did a nice job in paving the worst parts of Sam's Fork Road in Putnam County, which was much appreciated, but they left potholes in the sections in between. It has been several weeks and evidently they are not coming back to finish the job.

Everyone should consider that if Mitt Romney is elected, he would spend the next four years appeasing the tea party in order to get their support for his re-election in 2016.  Obama may not be perfect, but he is surely better than the tea party extremists.

A more fitting campaign song for Mitt would be, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," by AC/DC.

Republican: A person who wants to cut benefits to the elderly, destitute and infirm, and cut taxes for the rich in order to save money.

Now that President Obama's re-election is certain, we need to recognize and look for the five stages of grief in our Republican friends: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. They will need our help and guidance for the next four years.

Election time. Same old tired candidates, [and] nobody to vote for. We need some new blood!

Anyone who believes the U.S. is moving forward must be on a heavy dose of stupid pills.

Democrats get out and vote this election and take our state back. We've been hearing too many lies about Obama being against West Virginia. And it is the big coal companies trying to take over. They're sure not helping the workingman.
