Don't you think it was callous for Romney to have the Coal Miners standing behind him on a recent stump?

The Miners were told they had to show up, and lost a day's pay. Murray, their boss, said they had to contribute to Romney's campaign.

Update:

Damon, Murry told them they had to appear with Romney but they did not get paid. Check it out for yourself.

    Obama has promised to shut down the American coal industry. And you simpleton post an ignorant question like this

  • 9 years ago

    Murry Energy is the name of the company. Their CEO, Bob Murry, told them attending was mandatory because he is a devout Republican. He has contributed more than $900,000 to Republican candidates, and he previously backed Rick Perry.

    Murry is a non-believer in coal-induced climate change. Is that because he owns a coal mining operation? Do his employees believe they are contributing to global warming? Regardless, he is backing the candidate that does him the most good and promises contributions to the coal industry.

    To claim that Romney made them show up and contribute to his campaign is ridiculous.

    Let's try a "source" for this statement, since it has the hollow ring of just another

    unsubstantiated exaggeration by a Liberal. What makes it have a particular odor,

    is that the coal mining country has a SERIOUS problem with Obama and his new

    Regulations intended to compromise and restrict coal production.....or did you miss

    that little fact. Check out the unemployment rates for THOSE States instead of

    the phony recent figures. More States are in the DOUBLE digit unemployment,

    than those with single digit.

    Answer: Compared to what ? Obama having a bunch of secretaries and sycophants

    gathered on the White House lawn in white medical smocks ( that the White House

    provided at taxpayer expense ) to rah-rah the Obamacare ? Now, WHO was playing

    the TRUE phony here ?

    Mary! Republicans always outside the law!! Are you for real? I am an independant and am going to vote for Romney because he is the best man to turn this country around. I have to say that you are either blindfolded or still drinking the kool-aid because Obama is the sleaziest, dirty rottenn politician that I have ever heard of. He lies and keeps lying even when proven that he is lying. He will stoop at nothing to get re-elected.
