Man who says his cousins died in blast at Blankenship mine still votes for him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During an interview with outside a West Virginia polling place, one man declared he'd still be voting for Blankenship even though three of his cousins died in the blast at Blankenship's Upper Big Branch Mine.

"I want an honest crook, and that's Blankenship," the man told ABC News.

Blankenship served a year in jail on a misdemeanor violation of mine safety rules related to that explosion, but claims he was set up by the government.

7. That's what you get with a bad public education system, people don't think.

They don't read or ask questions, they don't look deeper to study the consequences of the poor decisions. That guy will blame Democrats when he gets exactly what he voted for.

11. I'm sorry, but a large chunk of American society is irreparably stupid.

They cannot be saved. They don't want to be.
