Some thoughts about West Virginia

An Obama supporter lashes out at political allies who've scorned Clinton's white working-class backers. It's worth reading.

    Sorry Blondone

    I'm not giving you praise like an earlier poster. You're a bigot. Here's what you said.

    "But right now, we are talking about Appalachia, for god's sake"

    Tell me about it. You then cite a bomb threat in Indiana. What, pray tell, does that have to do with West Virginia. Do you see what ypu're doing. You're pointing to something that actually happened elsewhere, and then you're just assuming that we West Virginians will be worse.

    I'm sick of it. I support Obama. But that's despite some of his other supporters, not because of them.
