Obama's regulations are killing the KY/WV coal region.
Obama's regulations are actually helping the KY/WV coal region.
It's McConnell who opposes the minimum wage and supports union-busting.
Helping the region how? If I were a miner, I wouldn't care two bits about clean air as I would my ability to feed my family.
Come on, dude. Obama's policies have worked so well and are so popular that Grimes has to support the coal industry by distancing herself from Obama? Put out commercials how she'd defend Kentucky against Obama's regulations? Dance around whether she even voted for Obama. Seriously?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the people of the region are not fans of coal plants getting shut down. You wouldn't be either if you were in the industry. It's interest group politics 101.
Obama hasn't shut down any coal plants.
Incidentally, the United Mine Workers has endorsed Grimes.
Plants taken off-line due to EPA Regulations: http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/topics/policy/power-plant-closures/
A union endorsing a Democrat? No way. As per usual, the union bosses are not necessarily in line with the rank-and-file.
You do know who the IFR is don't you?
Yes. Evil folks that are for stuff like using the bountiful fossil fuels we have within our borders. Anti-EPA.
Refute the facts and my underlying assertions as opposed to attacking the messenger because you don't like them.
My point is that KY is/was a pipe dream and a very difficult gain for the Democrats because of Obama's energy policy, which is NOT favorable to one of the state's main industries.
I don't like nor dislike them. I don't especially care about this race because Grimes was never winning.
But since you're using the 'OMG the Unionz endorsed a Dem line' ... it's only fair to point out that your source for the damage apparently done by the President's policies is an energy-backed lobby group. That's all.
