How can the Readers' Voice so-called reader say that our president doesn't have leadership ability? He's leading us out of a recession left by your one and only George Bush.
I went to the DMV to renew my West Virginia driver's license and I was turned down because I didn't have a birth certificate that had a seal on it. I've had a West Virginia drivers' license for over 55 years and have lived in West Virginia my whole life and at the same address for over 50 years. Whoever came up with this requirement must have been born in Siberia. What difference does it make when or where you are born if you have proof of residency in West Virginia?
The Manchin plan and their political games will make you long for the days of Robert C. Byrd.
I'd like to ask all the restaurants, especially fast-food restaurants, that the managers please don't turn the music up very loud in their dining rooms. I've been to some lately -- it sounds like a dance club. The music should be a very soft background so people can eat in peace, read or have a conversation without the music interrupting.
What a shame to see politics raise its ugly head in the West Virginia Board of Education. It appears that education in West Virginia is secondary to political purposes.
Now it's being reported that Manchin was behind the firing of the West Virginia superintendent's job. Let's not forget how Manchin closed the West Virginia Rehabilitation Center in 2007. He was behind that. He did not want the rehab center to stay open. Talk about dirty politics, look at Joe Manchin.
Romney, you lost, so take it like a man and keep your mouth shut.
Always enjoyed Phil Kabler's Statehouse Beat article, with the yellow-journalism cheap shot on Arch Moore's fourth term in Alabama. That is unbelievable journalism and was undeserved. That was not what the article was about.
Come on, folks. Let's show a little more respect for the president of the United States. This guy speaks for you to other countries. If we don't respect him here, how do you expect other countries to treat him abroad with you downgrading him in our own country?
Do not shop at Macy's until they get rid of Donald Trump.
I'd like to know how if President Obama had done away with all the guns, how are all these people out deer hunting? I've heard all kinds of gunshots yesterday. The way they were talking I thought they'd have to hunt with a knife. It's just another lie on President Obama as usual.
I want to say thank you to the Charleston police officer that pulled my wife over in a brand-new car with temporary tags that didn't have an inspection sticker on it because we hadn't had a chance to get it yet. We had the car for 12 hours. I feel much safer knowing you're protecting us from all the drug dealers and criminals out there.

Do the people boycotting Papa John's realize how many other companies are doing the same thing as Papa John's to save money? Are they going to boycott all the businesses? If they do they might as well stay home all the time and do without because everybody is cutting corners because of Obamacare.
I wish at least one of the many people who seems to feel qualified to speak for God would attach a picture, so we could enjoy knowing what God looks like.
There seems to be enough reason for Gov. Tomblin to make himself heard about the recent lack of ethical procedures on the part of this BOE. They are appointed by the governor. It is time for Gov. Tomblin to let us know if the BOE has his support, or does he intend to take action to replace BOE members who lack the appropriate ethics?
It's becoming apparent that the Manchins are what every sled dog sees if it isn't the leader.
Have you Christian complainers ever considered the possibility that God, being all-powerful, wanted Obama to be re-elected?
Strange how sick Jesse Jackson Jr. got when the feds closed in on his looting of campaign funds for personal use.
Installing a crony as state superintendent of schools is evidently even easier than securing an unearned master's degree for a daughter.
According to Mark Twain, "First, God created idiots. That was a test. Then he created school boards."
Supporters of Dr. Jorea Marple shouldn't expect any help from Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. Kay Goodwin and Randall Reid-Smith, both will-and-pleasure appointees involved in the cruel firing of state archivist Fred Armstrong, continue in the Tomblin administration.
I live on Dabney Drive. Where is the leaves truck? I have raked the leaves to the curb three times, and the wind blows them back, but the truck never shows up. This is absolutely ridiculous.
How is West Virginia FREE connected to former West Virginia State Superintendent Jorea Marple? The woman received a very high, prestigious award from West Virginia FREE. This was given to her within a two-year period.
I didn't know that we had King Joe Manchin and Queen Gayle. Now I'm convinced we do. I think it's a disgrace what happened to Jorea Marple. I will never vote for Manchin again. I will actively campaign against him.
Why are all these light poles along MacCorkle Avenue and Corridor G just falling over with no automobile hits? Is it the wind? Is it the faulty aluminum? I see no damage to the pole. The base just gives way and they fall over.
