Valin Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 TAS: Obama's war on coal will help him lose Virginia, a Sunday rally promised. Debra McCown 10.22.12 GRUNDY, Va. -- More than 5,500 people turned out Sunday afternoon at a mountaintop park in remote Buchanan County to show their support for coal. With the "War on Coal" rhetoric that's been on a lot of Republicans' lips this election season, a lineup of political speakers that included Matt Romney, son of Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, came to talk about the resource that powers both the electricity and the economy here. (Snip) "The only promise Obama kept was to kill coal," said Jerry Shortt, a coal miner from Richlands who was laid off temporarily right after Labor Day -- and learned Friday that for him, along with 189 other employees at the mine where he worked, the layoff would be permanent. (Snip) The Other McCain: More Here I wonder if they have ever considered Solar Powered Coal Mines? Then they "The One" on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
