BOREALIS .. Romney Supporter Sums Up Campaign's Attitudes Towards Working Americans [ .. 2 bits, + insert .. basically to link ]
[...]
Romney campaigned with Bob Murray, CEO of the company, back in May.
Murray Energy is perhaps best known for operating the Crandall Canyon mine in Utah that collapsed in 2007, killing six miners and two rescue personnel. After that tragedy, reporters uncovered thousands of violations resulting in millions of dollars in fines at various mines owned by the company.
~~~~~~~~~~ Insert: Of course, Murray's role in all this is much darker than that of the compassionate boss given to delivering script-ready lines like, "Conditions are the most difficult I have seen in my 50 years of mining" and "There are many reasons to have hope still" (as he has been quoted saying in two other Times stories).
It is a much-needed pre-election glimpse into the America Romney wants to create. And while workers can obviously be forced to listen to their BS lets hope they will refuse to be forced to do one thing for Romney. Vote for his sorry ass.
