Question:
U.S. Senator Mitch
McConnell (R-KY), a national leader in the effort to protect the
jobs of coal miners, today warned that Democratic presidential
candidate Al Gore's radical agenda poses a direct threat to the
futures of mining families in West Virginia and other coal
country states. McConnell issued the following statement:
Answer:
"Al Gore can't hide his shameful record in coal country. He
sees coal as an environmental problem, not an energy solution.
He has proposed to make coal the highest taxed energy source in
America, and now wants miners to believe he's their friend." As
vice president, Gore has broken his promises to tens of thousands
of West Virginia coal miners who cast their votes for Clinton-
Gore in 1992 and 1996. "I don't see how the working families of
West Virginia can ignore [Gore's] record and vote for him," Dick
Kimbler, president of the United Mine Worker Local 2935 in Logan
County, West Virginia, told the Charleston Daily Mail last month.
(Brian Bowling & Paul Owens, "Union Leader Blasts Endorsement of
Gore," Charleston Daily Mail, September 21, 2000)..."
Yes, BUT Algore and his cadre have serious plans to reshape West Virginia
into the first International Democratic social project of the new
millennium. It will be unique in having up to 99 percent of the residents on
the new government dole (except for those whose service will be required in
the new People's Democratic Army).
In the future world of Algore, West Virginia will be known as the People's
Democratic Republic of West Virginia, and it will be the official test bed
for the eventual remodeling of the rest of the country into the Great
Official Republic Experiment.
They are the only tips of the crowns of the real
causes of this problem. Because if the lives of
the miners weren't as cheap, or the profiteers
from mine operations weren't as greedy, there
would have been more attention paid to their
safety and locating in cases of mine accidents.
So, just as Bo has mentioned about investing
money into safety measures would have cost
to the mining operators their expected profits...
Therefore, I think miners "mental debility" and
their "locked lifestyle" don't really play any role....
