Gallup: GOP Has Largest Poll Lead Ever

Pffft
!


Yeah, the BIASED, pro-Democrat paper that picked Marty Coakley to win by double-digits is REALLY TELLING YOU ALL YOU NEED to KNOW, huh?

Well, barring any Democrat rigging of the machines they are going to get their asses kicked and get turned out of Congress -- and to that I say GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

LYING to the people while SERVING the SAME INTERESTS as Republicans in this SHIT FOOLEY we call POLITICS over here has done them in forever with me.

We ELECTED YOU to CHECK BUSH and END the WARS and we got NEITHER!!!


West Virginia’s popular governor, Joe Manchin, will face John Raese, the wealthy businessman who won the GOP primary, in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by the late Robert C. Byrd.

Manchin easily won the Democratic nomination Saturday. Raese defeated a crowded field of Republicans and becomes part of the GOP quest to dismantle the Democratic Senate majority as high unemployment and the slow economic recovery threaten their political prospects this fall....

The primary in West Virginia was hastily called after Byrd, a 92-year-old Democrat elected to a record ninth term in 2006, died June 28.

Manchin’s support from coal and utility industries, which have provided more than a quarter of the $1.2 million he has raised since declaring his candidacy, may help him overcome national GOP attempts to paint him as a liberal who will side with President Obama’s administration.

Are you falling for it, America?

And where are these liberals I keep hearing about?

(Answer: covered in the s*** their leadership has dumped on them; that's why I can't see them and they are constantly taken for granted).

The 60-year-old Raese, who lost to Byrd in 2006, has been pumping money into a television and radio ad campaign to bolster his name recognition.

Raese owns a steel fabricating business, a limestone company, and is part owner of a statewide radio network and Morgantown newspaper. He spent at least a half-million dollars of his own money in his latest campaign.

Incumbents out.

And about that coal money
:

"Low prices stoke coal sales, despite pollution concerns" by Matthew Carr, Bloomberg News | August 30, 2010

NEW YORK — Coal trading is poised to rise to a record high this year as prices at less than half their 2008 peak stoke demand, defying governments’ efforts to phase out the most-polluting fossil fuel....

“It’s looking pretty good for coal,’’ Kris Voorspools, director of 70Watt Capital Management, a Luxembourg hedge fund that specializes in trading spreads in energy and carbon markets, said last week. “It’s the fuel for the developing world. China and India are using it to grow.’’

The increase in coal trading underscores how fuel demand in Asia is hampering government measures to tackle global warming....

Pffffft!

I'm MORE WORRIED about the ASH LAKES of SLUDGE and POLLUTION, thanks!

Intercontinental Exchange Inc.’s ICE Futures Europe on Aug. 6 began allowing investors to trade coal derivatives.... to attract hedge funds and smaller banks....

They NEVER LEARN, do they?

In the United States, where coal accounts for about 25 percent of energy consumption, lawmakers plan to revive proposed climate-protection legislation after having been defeated in Congress last month.

Oh, now it is CLIMATE PROTECTION!

Do you know HOW SICK I AM of the AmeriKan MSM and its SHIT WORD GAMES (sorry!)!!!!!!!!!
