This blog is just for West Virginians. I am disturbed by the lack of a Republican candidate for governor in West Virginia. It is sad that we are going to abandon our state once again to the Democrats without a fight. I understand that Joe Manchin is popular and will be hard to beat, but it can be done if Republicans just use the right tactics. If we can convince voters that the only good thing Manchin has done in office is to get WVU and Marshall to play, we have a chance. We need to go the the unions and convince them that more needs to be done to fix education, to fix our workmen' compensation system and fix our taxes. We have multiple racetracks with casinos and slot machines in our state, we pay 20 cents higher per gallon of gas then our neighbors, where is this money going. Our state is the laughing stock of the nation for our poor roads and even poorer education system. We need to reform our state and make it more attractive to business, we need to deregulate, stop lawsuits, and put our people back to work. We need to stop illegal immigration in our state since the federal government is too gridlocked to fix the problem. We need to guarantee West Virginians right to bear arms in case the US Supreme Court rules against the 2nd Amendment right. We need to end late term abortions and cut down the number of abortions in the state. We need to end the corruption that is our electoral system in the state, where the party and union bosses corrupt most elections in the Democrat's favor and where the dead rise every four years in the south of the state to vote Democrat. (Don't kid yourself, this stuff still goes on) We need a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Do you think any of this stuff will get done with Joe Manchin as governor and the Democrats controlling the Legislature. No!! We need to pick a candidate and stick by them in this election. We need to take the state back for ourselves and our children. We need to put up someone who can take the fight to the people and let people see the truth. Our state is a 3rd World Nation with a corrupt government and poor standard of living and education and until someone stands up and fights, this will only get worse.
