“I am scared to death for our country”:energy CEO says Obama destroying low-cost energy with EPA
foxnews copy on therightscoop.com ^ | June 20, 2014

Posted on 06/20/2014 5:23:29 PM PDT by Whenifhow

Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray says he is scared to death for this country, for poor people, those who live on fixed incomes and for people who are retiring.

Murray says Obama is illegally using the EPA and the Clean Air Act to take over the US Electric Power Grid and in the process he’s destroying low-cost energy.

Murray points out that coal is only 4 cents per kilowatt-hour and Obama wants to replace it with renewable energy sources, wind and solar, that cost 22 cents per kilowatt-hour.

By 2030, according to Murray, we will be down from 40% coal-fired electricity to 14% coal-fired electricity.

But their wasted vote put Obama in the WH...and now he is destroying the country.

I agree with your basic premise. However, third party votes did not elect Obama.

He beat Romney by 4,982,296 votes. Total votes for other than the two main candidates totaled 1,918,776.

What really elected Obama was the Romney or anti-Obama voters who stayed home, not those who voted for somebody else.

Actually, I am a math major (first in my grad school class). Logic is the basis of that.

Your failure to vote for a person who could win gave Obama voters their majority. Wasting your vote and then bragging about it is nauseating to those of us who saw Obama for the Marxist/Muslim he is.

But thx to your over-weaning pride and stubborness...he won.

Thx pal...we could have used you in trying to keep this commie out of the WH...but at least you still have your (insert something worthless here).

Commies always like and call for general strikes as a means to achieve their goals. I propose that all coal fired power plants schedule their maintenance shutdowns for August. Go off-line for a few weeks; let the bass turds pray to Gaia and their windmills for deliverance.

It’s easy to miss. Democrats ‘talk the talk’ of caring about the poor - and they DO sound sincere, but it’s a lie. Look at their actions and who benefits - and it’s the same: white liberal elites. The people who are hurt is “everyone else”... in one degree or another.

Dude, like uh...show your work.

Show the class where a vote for other than Barry is counted for Barry. Because thats how math works.

Oh wait. No its not. The vote for other than Barry is counted for other than Barry. FR really needs a test to screen posters for basic civics.

All pretty meaningless, unless one adds the cost per kilowatt-hour for natural gas, which is what is replacing most of the coal.

What really elected Obama was the Romney or anti-Obama voters who stayed home, not those who voted for somebody else.

They were all needed.

And ultimately, Obama stole the election because the margins were so thin it only took the votes of a few dead Illinois voters and the multiple votes of a few Obamaphone recipients.

But then we have these Tom Hoeflin supporters who argue that they voted for principle and not against Obama.

Well their frikken principle didn't win!

Obama won...and now he's destroying the country!

How frikken dumb are you?

A vote for Mitt is a vote against Obama. That's the way they are counted.

Do you think that all non-Obama votes are somehow attributed to a fictitious non-Obama candidate...and if said candidate wins, Obama loses?Obama won because you wasted your vote.

Thx!

“Well their frikken principle didn’t win!”

Why not explain to Jim why “frickin Principle” is so awful. Because the whole reason as far as I’m aware is that FR exists to push the idea that ‘frickin principle’ is what we are supposed to be collectively working for.

Now I cannot and will not speak for him but I would point out the sheer volume of “FUMR”s in his posts lately might well indicate he is as sick of Romney supporting BS as the rest of us are.

I can’t understand why there is no democrat office holder who will stand against him. I expect the democrat voters. They’re idiots.

Oh, nonsense. In only four of the states were the margins of victory less than 5%.

Obama won simply because the American people voted him in.

I happen to believe they made an enormous mistake in doing so, but then there's no law I'm aware of that prevents the American people from doing stupid things.

And that would logically mean that voting for anyone else is also a vote ‘against’ Obama would it not?

Hi Jim:

Norm Lenhard wants me to somehow explain why his vote in the final presidential election was wasted by voting for someone NOT ON THE BALLOT.

I worked hard for every conservative I knew and contributed...but when the election came, I didn't "write in" Dick Cheney or Tom Hoefling or Thomas Sowell (I would have if they had a chance in hell of winning)...I swallow my vomit and checked the box for Mitt Romney. He was never my pick, but he was the only chance I had to stop Obama.

Why? Because Obama is an enemy of our country and a vote for anyone other than his direct opponent would be wasted.

I hate that but shy of picking up arms...that's the way it is.

The dozens of Tom Hoeflin supporters don’t amount to a hill of beans, principled or not. The election was lost by the unprincipled RINOs who supported Romney in the primary. We who opposed him in the primary knew that he was the weakest Republican candidate running (for a host of reasons) and could not possibly win the election.

We?

You think because you gather a group of 3 or 4 idiots and laugh, I am concerned.

Your failure to vote against Obama put him in office.

Now who's laughing.

Not me.

Obama is your boy. You help him win.

there were only 2 options - Mitt or Obrahma. Nothing too complicated here.
