Yep, even though Obama openly stated that he planned to put the coal industry out of business, the UMWA endorsed him and Democrat voters in West Virginia, Southwest Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania still voted for him.
Now, they are weeping and wailing as the mines are now shutting down en masse. Lots of buyer’s remorse in coal country these days, but Rat Congresscritters like Rick Boucher of Virginia’s 9th District are really feeling the heat now.
The UMW are volunteering for the Brown Shirt Army...their shirts are already brown!
