Coal miners ask Obama to stop ‘absolute lies’

[Nutes and Nugs]

sooooo, liberals are against coal?

Added what Bucky? 2000 jobs? Oh Boy!

Liberals hate coal and oil. They think "green energy" is just going to evolve out of nowhere and save us all.

the middle class does need coal and oil jobs. we've gained those jobs under obama, along with about 5 million more in the last 31 months of consecutive job growth.

green energy will not come out of nowhere. we need to invest in it. we have made those investments. those investments have had a higher rate of success than bain capital's investments.

these are facts. go cry somewhere.

I agree.

LOL, Our great leader created 5 million New oil jobs? Tell me more.

green energy will not come out of nowhere. we need to invest in it. we have made those investments. those investments have had a higher rate of success than bain capital's investments.
90 Billion invested in failed Green jobs.

these are facts. go cry somewhere.

Those are the facts son.
Buck, Buck, just shut the fuck up.

well damn, if we are taking the top off the apalachians for coal we should probably stop that.

I love amidst all this bullshit rhetoric and distraction, no one is talking about how in the last 12 years.... cough.. cough... the percentage of black lung in coal miners has increased EXPONENTIALLY... this is not amongst season veterans, rather new miners on the job for only 10 years.... deregulation is a wonderful thing isn't it? It is all about the bottom fucking line regardless of how detrimental it is.... just look at Africa and how they treat gold and diamond miners like slaves still....

None of you bleeding hearts crying for a Romney rescue give a fuck about PEOPLE... all you see is the phony green color of bullshit money that means NOTHING ANYMORE. Sorry but I am sick of the lack of empathy that is becoming the national trend.

Oh and I am neither democrat nor republican, and I despise professional politicians.

 

[Dice Clay]

Oh and it is painfully clear those who are educated and formulate their own INDEPENDANT and cogent ideas based on facts and life experience... and those of you who regurgitate the mindless blather of Fox news "pundits" and other puppets with no idea of what fact or honesty really is. The sad thing is that most of the people repeating the ridiculous rhetoric that fox churns out are low income people who would benefit from the so called "Liberal agenda". Nothing like having poor whites screaming at poor blacks about how lazy they are .... seriously I am so fed up with this brainless bullshit.

No, we shouldn't. Open air mines are dramatically safer while much more productive. Open air mines can be relatively easy to mitigate after their useful life has ended.

Electric car battery manufacturer A123 Systems Inc., the recipient of nearly $250 million in government grants, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday.


The Massachusetts-based company and two affiliates filed for bankruptcy a day after it said it would be unable to make a $2.8 million interest payment to bondholders due Monday.

Are you sure of the numbers bucky??? I didnt think so...

Throwing billions of dollars of taxpayer money at failing companies does not equal success....

Dont let the facts get in the way of your ranting bucky.

BEALLSVILLE - Coal miners at the American Energy Corp. Century Mine said they want President Barack Obama to stop what they term the war on coal - and to stop spreading mistruths about them.

Miners gathered Friday afternoon to express their opposition to Obamas energy and environmental policies, which they believe threaten their jobs. Miner Mitch Miracle read aloud a letter the miners mailed to Obama that outlines some of their concerns.

The miners said Obamas campaign team is running ads filled with blatantly false statements about the miners regarding their participation in Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romneys August campaign stop at the Century Mine. These ads assert that the miners were forced to attend the event by the mines owner, Robert Murray.
There are numerous false statements and absolute lies concerning our participation in this event, mostly started by a local shock jock radio host, the miners letter to Obama states. Why would you (Obama) lie about the 500 working miners who have signed this letter? We, the employees of the Century Mine would request you immediately stop these false ads.

This summer, Murray Energy Corp., parent company of the Beallsville mine, cut or relocated 56 workers with the closure of the Red Bird West mine near Brilliant. Murray also cut 29 mining jobs from The Ohio Valley Coal Co.s Powhatan No. 6 Mine. All of this was done, Robert Murray said, because of Obamas war on coal.

Murray then hosted the August Romney campaign stop in Beallsville, during which many miners appeared behind Romney as the former Massachusetts governor spoke about the need to protect coal mining jobs. In response to the assertion some have made about the miners being forced to appear with Romney, the miners made the following points on Friday:

As for anyone who claims the miners were forced to attend, those on-site Friday said these assertions probably came from discharged or disgruntled former employees.

Despite the miners Friday statements, Ohio Democrats have requested a federal investigation regarding Murrays campaign contributions and practices.

Yes, it can always be attributed to "disgruntled and fired employees" can't it.

Few faces on those men seemed like they were at all interested in being there.


See, the problem here is that Romney is willing to do such things, and if Ryan was willing to go to a charity kitchen after the place closed and wash already clean pots and pans, then they are just as capable of using miners as props. If republican business owners are willing to explain to their employees that if Obama wins they will be laid off, then the story of romney and the minors isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

Obama shuts down coal mine in Ohio. If you live in Ohio, DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/02/politics/ohio-coal-mining/index.html

Kinda ignoring the figures aren't you Freedomworks? just using the same old rightist tactics of ignoring those pesky facts. Seems you figure that popular opinion is about the same as a fact even when that popular opinion is shaped by millions of dolars of PR, just like your opinions are.

The notion that Mr. Obama has declared "war on coal," could have ramifications beyond Ohio. Anger toward the Obama administration is boiling over in coal mining areas of West Virginia like Mingo County, where some residents blame the president for mine and plant closures and lost jobs (Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has aggressively distanced himself from the president and his policies on coal.) And while Obama has little chance of taking West Virginia regardless of his position on coal, the industry is also BIG TIME in nearby Pennsylvania where the president holds a single-digit lead in recent polls, as well as the crucial swing state of Virginia.

Obama, like most right thinking citizens have a problem with coal. Obama didn't lie to them and say "well we want all the coal we can use" like romney will lie and pander to any audience he has before him.

the fact is that investments into green energy by the DOE have a higher success rate than bain capital.

try to keep up here.

Fuck foreign oil. Start drilling here! again

"again"? want to see that chart? as is so often the case, folks are divorced from reality, we are producing more oil than we were in the Bush years. And our primary export is now...... gasoline. So much for "starting" to drill here.
