Who's bright idea was it to work on the Dunbar bridge while the St. Albans/Nitro bridge is out? Do the people over this not think things through? What if there was a chemical leak?

Now a Campbells Creek resident is blaming Obama for a used commode on his property. Typical redneck conservative. Get off your lazy butt and clean up your property.

I just saw a few minutes of a TV show called "Bloopers." Its existence is a sad commentary on our "civilization." What kind of sick individuals enjoy watching people get hurt?

I read that Congressman Paul Ryan has a budget plan. If you read his document you quickly realize that there are few specifics in it. For him to predict that it balances the federal budget in 10 years is one big lie.

The Gazette is printing all the posts attacking West Virginia lawmakers who support gun ownership and not printing posts from pro-gun posters. Their anti-coal stance hurt their circulation. Their anti-gun stance will hurt it even more.

Obama hasn't stopped campaigning since he first ran for office five years ago. That's why the Republicans are complaining. Obama needs to lay off the traveling and campaigning and spend more time in D.C. working on our problems.

Sarah Palin spoke last week at a Republican gathering and she thought she'd be cute and take a sip of a large soda to make fun of the New York City mayor's proposed ban on large sugary drinks. Republicans laughed about it, so I guess they don't realize the NYC mayor is a Republican.

A balanced budget is something every household grasps. Why can't both houses of Congress grasp that concept?

A balanced budget forces Congress to set priorities, make tough choices on spending and taxes instead of borrowing the difference.

How many mistakes is Carrie Webster going to be allowed?

From the Final Four in 2010 to the Final Foul-ups in 2013 -- what happened? Two years of recruiting based upon success, the same coach, the same program. Bob Huggins is either responsible or irresponsible.

I don't see why the Friends of Coal [companies] doesn't foot the bill for upgrades to the Civic Center. After all, their name is all over it.

The story now is that the Republican Party is trying to determine how to portray itself. Why don't they just be honest and be who they really are instead of trying to find out what they stand for by saying they're for whatever they think will get them the most votes. Stop being phonies.

If Republicans would just all move to the South and Democrats would move to the North, then one of us could secede from the U.S. and everyone would be a lot happier.

The House GOP has a budget that will balance in 10 years. What do you think of its chances of passing in the Senate? Stalemate. We need leadership.

Biden, Pelosi and Feinstein say the dumbest things and the liberal media applauds the comments. Paul, Ryan and Cruz make perfect sense and they're attacked by the same media. The media is dumbing down America.

The way I see it, 94 lawmakers finally showed some common sense. Why burden law-abiding citizens with more laws that won't do a thing to stop lawbreakers from breaking the law?

I thought America just rejected Ryan's economic plan, which destroys Medicare by issuing vouchers and having seniors pay for increases. And he is supposed to be the intellectual leader of the Republican Party?

Unfortunately, authorities don't realize how prevalent domestic abuse is until women are beaten half to death or murdered.

Heard on TV that lots of people in Ohio voted as many as six times. Could this be why Obama won there? Could this have happened in other states?

Apparently, Hoppy Kercheval sees nothing wrong with paying a person 132K a year to sit on their hands. I also question the intelligence of a person who would give up a job that pays three times as much money to come and work for a right-wing hack like our new attorney general.

When the Boy Scouts arrive in Fayette County greeted with bouquets of flowers provided by the Turnpike employees, I think our gun-happy, fully armed Legislature ought to be there to greet them as well. Let's show them some real West Virginia hospitality!

Here we go again with more government intrusion with this primary-offense seatbelt law. Now any police officer can stop you at any time for no reason whatsoever simply by saying, "I never saw a seatbelt on them."
