The West Virginia Primary Election 2006 is now over, and the November General Election 2006 is now before us, and the US Senate Race is before US, We the people are allowed a choice. The WV US Senate Election 2006 offers us two choices. John Raese who is such a state of stark raving republican mania that he is under the delusion that he is qualified to replace Byrd in the WV race for US Senate Election 2006 . We also have the choice of a well known commodity Robert Byrd. John Raese is involved in the West Virginia Radio Corporation that owns quite a few far right wing radio stations throughout the central part of the State of West Virginia. John Raese also owns the Morgantown Newspaper to my understanding. I seriously wonder if John Raese will exploit his media holdings against senator Byrd.
WV US senate election 2006 offers us the choice of voting for Senate Incumbent Robert Byrd D - WV who is the most senior democratic WV legend in the Senate, or John Raese. The Election revolves more around economics than anything. Robert Byrd has acted in the Senate to bring a huge amount of Money into West Virginia, and that money creates a huge amount of construction and badly needed jobs in the state of WV that only a senior US Senate representative can manage to bring home.
John Raese does not have the intelligence or understanding of economics to comprehend that West Virginia gets such a big chunk of the federal pie is because WV has two very powerful senior members of the US Senate representing this state of WV. This is why John Raese would make a poor senator because he does not understand all the economic good that Byrd has done. The federal funds acquired by Robert Byrd for this states medical schools have to no small degree expanded rural health care in this state. John Raese has no known track record in projects that are beneficial to children and most certainly not on that scale.
John Raese must understand that the WV US Senate Election 2006 will hinge on the politics of economics because pork is very big money. Republican candidate John Raese will no doubt offer a right wing ideology and rhetoric that is a very poor substitute for the gigabucks that come to this state as the result of the senate seniority held by Senator Byrd. Raese can certainly accuse Byrd of cornering the market on Pork,
John Raese claims that he is a Reagan style Republican, and in this state of WV that is the kiss of death because West Virginia and its economy starved to death during the Reagan Era and many voters will remember that during the WV Senate Election 2006, and remember it well to the detriment of John Raese. Reagan was not good for WV and John Raese knows it. The only people who believe that propaganda are the brainwashed members of the Rush Limbaugh fan club, and hate radio addicts.
The WV US Senate Election 2006 will give US a choice to determine if we wish to throw away a huge amount of federal money and jobs for this state in favor of a tired and outdated Reagan Era ideology offered us by John Raese. Big money and jobs mean progress and it is sheer republican insanity to promote outdated neocon ideology over big money garnered by the efforts of Byrd in the Senate and this will influence votes in the WV Senate Election 2006 and John Raese knows it.
Senator Byrd is doing a wonderful job, I assume, watching John Raese make a total idiot of himself in a vain self centered and futile attempt to unseat the Senates Senior Democratic Legend. It is total insanity for John Raese to suggest that anyone can bring home more bacon than Robert Byrd. Be advised that Robert Byrd is big money industry in this state and it is a matter of good economics to see it continue in the aftermath of the WV US Senate Election 2006. It is crazy for West Virginia to even contemplate throwing away a senior member of the Senate in favor of a untried newcomer like John Raese, because there is no possibility that John Raese can outperform a senior member of the Senate as long as the US Senate runs on seniority in its rules and power structure. I don't want this state to shoot itself in the foot with the help of John Raese, as far as the ability of Robert Byrd to bring home federal money to WV. Robert Byrd does bring home the bacon and that is why everything you can think of is named after him. That is exactly why everyone votes for him and John Raese is obviously not bright enough to understand that. Robert Byrd is going to spank John Raese in the coming general election.
In an economic context John Raese is bad for business in WV, and the fact is that the Senate runs on seniority makes it absolutely impossible for any freshman senator to be as productive as a senior member, and therefore I intend to cast my Ballot for Robert Byrd in the WV US senate election 2006 as a matter of logical politics and a matter of the best economic interest of this beloved state of West Virginia. The republicans under the influence of John Raese yell and gripe about Robert Byrd and PORK but the have no answer for the question of: Hey John Raese, kindly tell us, wheres the beef? We really hope John Raese is not chicken to answer this meaty question.
I will vote for Robert Byrd in the WV US Senate Election 2006 because I desire to prevent John Raese from bringing back an outdated Reagan Era mentality that has harmed this state in the past. I intend to endorse the efforts of Byrd in the WV US senate election 2006 . The man has served this state with distinction and most likely will die in office rather than take a well deserved retirement. That is called self sacrifice and that concept is far beyond the understanding of the GOP. Senator Robert Byrd has more than atoned for the racial sins of his youth. When president Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Bob Byrd listened.
