Roy Moore for Governor campaign

May30

I am currently out of town and working on the Roy Moore for Governor campaign. For those of you thinking, “Roy Moore, that sounds familiar,” it is not your imagination.

Robert Byrd slanders John Raese

May23

Senator Robert C. Byrd got his campaign dirty already with a letter to the democratic faithful. In his “prebuttal” — a new trick of the democrats: attack your opponents for something they have not even done yet — Byrd slams Raese for something Byrd predicts Raese will do in the future while Byrd does the very thing he blames Raese for doing one day. Confused yet? I am too.

The Charleston Gazette says respect Al-Qaida

Ending high gas prices

May1

We all agree that gas prices are way too high but when it comes to the solution, there is a significant difference of opinion. The interesting thing is no exclusively republican or democrat solution has emerged; it is every man for himself as Congressional leaders pose before gas pumps and promise change.

To be honest, the remedies coming from Congress and the White House are bipartisanly asinine.
