“To you people in Maryland, the gambling group wants more gambling, so you can have more money for your schools and such: That is the same thing they told us in West Virginia and here in Jefferson County, and guess what? Where is the money for my schools? And I’ll guarantee you I’m paying the same taxes as I’ve paid over the years, every year.”

“The city is building a park on a vacant apartment building lot on the corner of East Avenue and North Locust Street, where there have been a number of accidents recently. To allow your children to go there would be a terrible idea. It’s another example of the narrow-minded decisions that our city officials make in wasting our tax dollars on stupid stuff like that. Also like the downtown stadium.”

 “Often we hear President Obama and others claim that we should return to the tax rates of the Clinton era. I would gladly do that, if we also had gasoline at $1.15 a gallon, heating oil at 70 cents a gallon, and my health insurance was 25 percent of what it is now. Since those things won’t happen under Obama, it would be stupid to do so. Vote Romney/Ryan and we might have a chance.”

Mitt Romney says he will make 12 million jobs. As of this moment, he is shipping the jobs of a business he owns ... in Freeport, Ill., to China. What a hypocrite. And he cares about the American people and their jobs. What a joke he is.”

“I don’t think that anybody who walked into the situation that President Obama walked into, that Bush had us in, can do anything to really straighten all of it out in four years. I think the man should be given the chance to finish what he started, and don’t keep running him down and building Mitt Romney up, because Romney’s just going to put us back, Romney’s going to put us right back into the situation where Obama’s trying to get us out of. So please give him another chance.”

“This is to the caller from Hagerstown who is comparing what Richard Nixon did with Watergate to the Benghazi tragedy under President Obama. I mean, you Republican partisans are really stretching it, when you think a president that ordered a criminal act, a burglary, to break in somewhere and get data and cover it up for a year is the same as Obama’s team not coming out right away with the real facts on Benghazi.”
