NO ONE CAN HONESTLY BELIEVE...Hillary and Bill trust and believe in Obama,...his own vp said out of his own mouth before he landed on the ticket..Obama is not experienced enough or ready to be president. Hillary is about "the democrat party"...not us or our country. and that is why she is out on the trail. Hillary stay home this isn`t your election anymore and it has really hurt those of us who believed in you. and i fear this will hurt you politically in the long run by being involved in backing Obama. it just isn`t worth it. stay home please.

once again obama shows he is weak and not ready to lead. he can`t even run for president on his own, he has to have help. i voted for hillary, but i will not vote for Obama, i do not trust or believe in him. he is a liar and just plain scarey. i don`t want higher taxes, or the big government running every aspect of our lives and that is what he is about. also the new voter fraud from Acorn...he has connections too. open your eyes america. he has a racist preacher, and friends with terrorist and radicalist! he can`t even say the pledge of allegiance under God and to our country! i can`t believe anyone would even think of voting for someone who as such negative ties and beliefs. he will make this country a socialist and communist country. MAY GOD HELP US ALL IF HE WOULD WIN, CAUSE WE WILL NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET. I am fed up with Bush too. But i don`t trust Obama to the safety of our nation, my kids or family. NO WAY NO HOW!

I have known Anne Barth personally for 25 years. As an aide for Senator Byrd do you really think that she is against coal. She is for coal and the economy of this state. Capito is getting scared to be spreading this negative information.

Come on Hillary. I love ya and wished you were up for me to vote you in as my next President. Unfortunately, now you support Barth and not in my favor! GO SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO!

Hillary don't need to suck the Democrats this bad! Just ask Bill. They just used him in the primary, knowing they were goning to go against the vote of the people in WV.

Anne Barth is completely for coal. Capito's campaign needs to stop spreading lies!
Posted by: Ohio Voter on Oct 9, 2008 at 09:06 AM
I hope she makes it to Meigs County and speaks for Obama... it done wonders for her campaign...

Anne Barth is not against coal ! Does anyone really believe that a canidate running for U. S. Congress, from West Virginia would be against coal? This is jut another dirty trick from Shelly Moore Capito. She is copying from the Bush/Cheney playbook where if you can't beat them fairly, then make up lies. Anne Barth will help get us out of the mess Capito helped create. No one running for office in West Virginia is going to be against coal. Use your brain on this one folks and see through the lies. And one more comment. You can tell Capito puts herself above most of us West Virginians. Look at her name. Shelly (her mother's first name), and Moore (her maiden name). When you see people being named after their close relatives, it usually means the family thinks they are just a little bit better than the rest of us. The average West Virginian doesn't name thier child after their mother. Steer away from people like this because thier interests are not ours. Put Capito out to pasture.

  • Posted By: Ari: Cheers to Rob-I feel ya!
  • Posted By: joe: I have worked for companies all over this nation and have had to take drug tests. Why should teachers be exempt from this practice? It is now common to be randomly tested(and I have been) so what makes a teacher any different than a steel worker. I can say proudly that I passed but I have seen those who didn't. They chose to use drugs and lost their jobs I didn't.
  • Posted By: Katy: As a teacher, I have no problem being randomly drug tested...as long as you agree to drug test the parents who enter the doors of my school as well. Most teachers deal with students who are exposed to/use more drugs and alcohol than any of the teachers. If these students or parents who are using drugs (and are not drug tested) enter our schools, the safety of the teachers and students are at risk. Since children spend more time with them, let's randomly drug test PARENTS, too!!!
  • Posted By: stephen: Why the heavy emphasis ont he damage to property and life Israel is doing . Where was the media uproar for years that Hamas was rocketing Israel irespective of innocent israelis.. Hamas is actualykilling their own citizens by firing rockets from UN schools and residents. Why does UN allow Hamas to use facilities for attacking Israel, then complain when Israel responds to protect their territory and citizens. Israel targets military targets, respons to from whence rockets or gun fire comes. What would we fire at if Huntington was attacked?Why does the media not put bla,e where balame belongs, and give moral support to the aggreived.What would America do if attacked? to whom would we listen? Russia, Saudi Arabia,Iran?.Media get REAL! Who has given Hamas and the Palestinians millions with which they could buy weapons---American taxpayers money!
  • Posted By: Robert: Although I feel for the employees that lost their positions at Cabell Huntington Hospital, at least more nurses were hired. I recently had a relative in the cardiac unit at Kings Daughters, in Ashland, and I was told that the nursing staff had been cut back and that no overtime was being given. This seems to be a drastic cut in patient care for a facility that spends thousands advertising that they are in the top 5% of cardiac hospitals in the country. I would be willing to wager that the Cleveland Clinic has not cut hours of those giving patient care.
  • Posted By: Boyd: If the state's budget is doing so well, why don't we use some of this money to help towns and cities in the state who are in trouble with their budget, or will this just become another pay raise for politicians?
  • Posted By: Rob: Why does everyone have to be so into using the term "racist" and have that kind of attitude. I know what my heritage is and who my ancestors were but you want to know what I consider myself? I AM AN AMERICAN! I was born and raised in this country and that's how I feel it should be. Born here, raised here.....then by God you are an American. Not an African American, not an Asian American etc. etc. You are an AMERICAN!
  • Posted By: Chris: To Ex-Officer: I agree with you 100% about the pay of police dept and the drug testing. I was formerly involved with the BCPD and had multiple ride alongs with the BCSO. I am probably one of their biggest critics due to having watch some of the bad side of the department for a long time. I wish that I could tell everything that I have seen officers do,which would put most of them behind bars or they'll lose their sheild, But retalliation is bad in our area. To the cops that do their job and do it with the best intentions, I proud of you and don't mean any disrespect. To the ones who I personally watch being more currupt then the "badguys" here,your day will be coming.
  • Posted By: Pablo: Teachers aren't the only ones underpaid. Law enforcement officers are underpaid also. And I'd like to speak about them. For example, I'm sure any parent would sacrifice their live for thier children. And several may give thier live to save their spouse. A few individuals may even do it for a close friend. But, I only know of 3 types of beings who will sacrifice thier lives for complete strangers; indeed even for people who hate them. The first would be our men and women in our armed forces. The second would be our law enforcement officers. And of course, third would be our Savior, Jesus Christ. Others are killed in the line of their employment, but not in order to save a complete stranger. Everytime a cop puts on his/her uniform, they can be a target for anyone upset about something. Even though it doesn't involve the cop personally, that very cop will give his life to save yours when a problem arises. We need to give our cops not only a wage, but a living wage and a great big THANKS.
  • Posted By: Craig: If what I am hearing is correct that Kanawha County teachers accepted a pay raise in return for submitting to drug testing, and then sued successfully so they do not have to be subject to testing, then why shouldn't we the taxpayers demand they return the raise?
  • Posted By: teresa: racist lmao i am one cherokee,german,irish,german,and who knows what else TIRED of hearing of racist comments u are either GOOD OR BAD k no skin color needed just evil or NOT
  • Posted By: Ex-Officer: I agree with Robert 100% I worked in law enforcement and loved the job but try to rise a family on less than 10.00 an hour (out of that pay for your own duty gear and gun). I believe that all public safety workers should be drug tested but i also believe that they should be paid for the job that they do. Not many people understand what a public safty worker goes through. Would you put your life on the line for this kind of pay? Remember the saying that you get what you pay for. I see this in several new officers in my area. Don't get me wrong there are still very good officers in law enforcement. Something really needs to be done about the low pay for these jobs.
  • Posted By: Garland: What's the difference between teachers and other workers(coal mineers, bus drivers, state employees,etc.)? Teachers aren't any better are they?
  • Posted By: : This is not a comment, but I would like comments on it please. What do you think of Poca High School? Racist or not?
  • Posted By: Robert: We the people, through our own self centeredness and apathy, have allowed our teachers and police officials to be some of the most underpaid people in the United States. We are trusting our childrens education and our public safety to the very people that are some of the most underpaid profesions in the U.S.. If I could change this, I would. However, I do believe that these people should be randomly drug tested. I work in the construction industry and I have no problem being drug tested. I have nothing to hide. I also believe that any person who is intrusted with the safety of others should have nothing to hide. This includes plitical officials up to and including the president.
