Mike Stuart’s Conservatism Upsets Liberal Gazette

Thank you Charleston Gazette gossip columnist Phil Kabler for helping the West Virginia Republican Party. If the poorly written piece in yesterday’s newspaper was designed to hurt or weaken Mike Stuart you missed the mark.

It’s also nice to see environmental activist Ken Ward and Gazette communist  Paul Nyden concerned about comments made by West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Mike Stuart. You know you are doing something right when the three most liberal reporters in Charleston are criticizing you.

The Energy Tax Bill is dead and the environmental activist writer at the Charleston Gazette Ken Ward is mourning. It’s safe to say that he can go back to trying to put the chemical industry out of business in the Kanawha Valley.

Mike Stuart: We Cannot Turn a Blind Eye

By Mike Stuart

As you are aware, I have called for and remain steadfast in my belief that the WVGOP must demand the immediate resignation of Dr. Diane Shafer. Shafer is a member of the WVGOP Executive Committee – the representative leadership body for Republicans across the entire state of West Virginia – and she has been its largest single contributor – contributing nearly $52,000 to the State Party since 2003.

Paul Nyden Loves Alan Mollohan

We all know that a few of the Charleston Gazette’s so-called reporters, especially Paul Nyden and Ken Ward, are pretty much political hacks who write slanted articles to pump up their candidate or issues – Nyden = Democrats and Ward = Radical Environmentalists.

UMW Endorses Rahall, Mollohan – Manchin Unsure

It’s no wonder union membership is on the decline. The organization supports candidates who call coal a “dirty energy” source and do very little to stand up to a rogue EPA. Wonder if they endorse Lisa Jackson also?
