Vent Line: Oct. 20, 2012
Put the tobacco producers out of business and us smokers won't be able to smoke anymore. No, you won't do that because then you wouldn't get their tax money.
I was blessed to have a union job. I had decent wages, decent retirement and the company I worked for still made billions in profits. If you vote Republican, you will put the country back in the hands of the 1 percent who are even against minimum wages, Social Security and Medicare. Their agenda will impoverish the middle class.
I see they haven't closed the big drug house on Starling Drive yet. I'm going to keep venting until they do. It is a shame that old people have to live around something like this.
If the parents in South Hills don't want to mingle with others because it might pull their scores down and they want a new school because of that, they should foot the bill themselves.
The city trash workers mess up trash and cans all over the city, not just on the West Side of Charleston. The only one they do anything special for is Dollar Danny.
Regarding the Electoral College: Our forefathers were smart enough to know that if we only went with the populist vote it wouldn't take long for our country to lose the American identity forever.
Let the illegal aliens vote if you want to learn the foreign language you always wanted to learn.
Obama's the problem and Romney is the solution.
Immigration is the Trojan Horse of the 21st century. Our leaders allow people into this country who care nothing about it and are bent for its destruction.
Mitt Romney now says he is for coal. This is another flip-flop. When he was the governor of Massachusetts he stood in front of a coal-powered plant and said he would close it down because coal pollutes the air and makes people sick. He is only for what people want to hear.
Romney spoke about the search for women he could appoint to positions in state government when he was the governor of Massachusetts. He mentioned binders of women who were brought to him for consideration. Now here comes the Obama machine trying to make something big of it.
Now it looks like Nitro's mayor is trying to tell everybody how many dogs and cats they can have. That is communism and socialism.
What amazes me is that the person who hit the ambulance at the Hardee's in Big Chimney can be drunk, hit and run, no license, no insurance but still drives, still drinks and is still out, free.
The vents on Oct. 18 are ridiculous. Mr. Romney acts terrible. He is bossy and arrogant. He has no feelings for anyone and he is a real jerk. I hope we get Obama in there because he is decent.
At the Black Walnut Festival on Saturday, we left home in plenty of time to find a place along the parade route and put our chairs on the curb so we would have a good seat. Four hours later people moved in front of us so we couldn't even see the parade. A lady was in a wheelchair in front of us and she couldn't see either. I think that is the rudest thing ever.
I thought government contracts were bid out to save taxpayer money, but recently in Kanawha County they used the good-ol'-boy system and bid out two contracts that were not the lowest. This warrants an investigation into Kanawha County's finances.
I have been a conservative Republican most of my life, but am switching to independent. I will be voting for Obama now because my party has done nothing but lie and distort the truth. The Republican Congress has no creditability. Lying to win a presidential election is like an athlete taking steroids.
WVU wins 95 percent of their games when they wear their traditional blue and gold. Burn the others.
