The 81st Legislature, they look like a bunch of car salesmen.
It appears we will never have any compromise between the GOP and Democrats in Congress. Thus we will stay stagnated, no matter what party holds the White House. Only if one party controls both Congress and the White House will any movement be made. And that leads to bad laws and bad decisions. Compromise is the only way forward ... [but] it appears practically impossible. A third political party ... may be our only salvation.
Look around as you drive. The "no text" law has had little effect on the number of people texting while driving. Tomblin claiming he has saved lives with the law was comical. Guess he was desperate to say something positive about his time in office.
The City of Charleston is determined to ruin the Kanawha Boulevard. The proposed bike lane between Magic Island and Patrick Street is a waste of time and money. The bike lane will be rarely used, the green space won't be properly maintained by the city and the boulevard is narrow enough as is, plus the loss of street parking.
Why ban all guns? Why don't we just ban all automobiles? Look at the children who are killed by them.
This is for the hunters of West Virginia who don't belong to the NRA: You know that in some countries you've got to go downtown [and] sign your gun out to go hunting? That's what we need, don't we?
About the LAPD officer who was fired, Dorner, and went berserk and was killing all these people: Why was he fired? They just say he was fired and it goes on and on and it never tells you anything about why.
People better start thinking and study up on history. What was the first thing Hitler did, or one of the many things that he did? Took away the people's guns.
If it comes to believing Eva Knapp or Ted Nugent, Ted wins hands down, no contest.
What happened to Deborah Linz on WCHS? Jennifer is so much better and speaks so we can understand her. I hope Deborah never returns.

I weep for my country. Alas, alas. Where has America gone? Obama, with his great swelling words, has duped the people.
You can't buy beer on Sunday morning, so isn't that a violation of separation of church and state? The ACLU should get on that and do some good for once instead of interfering with everybody else's religious freedom.
It is not the Putnam County Judge Watkins who destroys families. It's the family that doesn't care about their children. It's just me, me, me and what I want. The judge is just giving the facts and he rules on those.
This is for the anti-gunners: They don't realize that the reason that Japan didn't come on into the United States was because they would meet billions of NRA guns. Think about that.
I just want to say that you ladies wearing those little short dresses, you look terrible. That's the nicest word I can say.
Here's your answer: People like you who voted for Bush and Cheney twice, and when they left office the price of gas, food and everything else doubled -- well they all laughed all the way to the bank with their rich buddies. Put your mouth where your vote was.
