Now were entering stupid politics and shows how much our leader cares about the working man nor at all he''s rich he don''t care he''ll be collecting on political favors till he dies and for some time after had 80 year olg millionare tell me once if you ever think the rebuplicains care about the working man your wrong and over the last 20 years I see he''s right. The rich seldom pay taxes never join the military just rub each others backs for favor free wheels free secondaty education free house if rich enough a trust fund to live off and we wonder why the pres is out of touch with the common man he never had to live like us to him were aliens and to be honest theres not much hope in the field running on either side.

"Can''t sign any bill that the Democrat party sends. What kind of message would I send if I approved of ANYTHING they do in Congress?" Bu$h says.

We need these baastards out of the Gov''t now.

Impeach Now! Avoid the post-(mis)Administration legal rush!!

It''s all part of the same pattern from this corrupt administration. Bush doesn''t care if miners die, as long as the mine companies make money, just like he doesn''t care if our troops die, as long as the war is profitable. He doesn''t care if people get sick and die because he put oil, logging and coal lobbyists in charge of the EPA, as long as those companies make money. He doesn''t care if people die from drugs being rushed to market via the FDA, as long as the drug companies make money.

He just doesn''t care about the lives of any Americans, as long as there is money to be made. He''s an elitist pig.

My dad was a miner for many years mostly in silver mines but they can be as dangerous as any other mine. He always said that it was the owners that cut safety to have bigger profits. Owners/mine bosses should be held accountable for all safety violations. They know what it takes to make a mine as safe as possible, they do not need a *** law to tell them.
Congress needs to get their head out of their a$$ and work on the economy and gas prices and ending the Iraq war and impeaching Bush.
We need to start a movement to revamp to constitution to make sure that Congress and the president have to work as many day as we do with only 2 weeks off, screw the dumb sh*t.

Let''s move the White House to an underground mine in West Virginia. You can bet your a ss they make ''em safe then.

Wait, they would probably just make that particular area safe. The rest of the miners can just go to hell.

I always get a kick out of your posts.

If miners are like the rest of us, they can put down their tools and walk away, but living paycheck to paycheck like most of us do means within a week, some kids don''t eat, within two weeks quarters for clean laundry and diapers run out, and within the month, rent and car payment goes unpaid and some kids loose a roof over their heads.

Living paycheck to paycheck is something an elitist like Bush will never understand, but it is a knife to the throats of the working class.

It''s just the cost of arresting this guy... for what?? i think there are bigger issues to worry about - and this makes headline news????? and i''m posting this?????

[rowdytexan2]

Once again, Mr. Bush refuses to listen to the will of the people. Ever miner in the US should set down tools and walk away. Folks, this is the only way that we are going to stop this mess for the next year.

We not only need to show Mr. Bush, but we need to show congress that we mean business. Congress answers your letter in protest about an issue with a form letter response. We''re not being heard. Only by a show of bodies are these folks going to get the message.
