Joe Manchin Is Not Switching Parties, Democrat's Spokeman Says

Poor Joe he is going to have to walk the straight and narrow. But in the end he will support Cap and Trade and Obama Care and the enter Democrat agenda. Harry Reid will make Senator Manchin his project and turn poor Joe around with a bribe that he has become famous for. The bribe will be that Cap and Trade will not pertain for West "by god" Virginia and a flight back to WV on Air Force One will be very effective in getting Senator Joe to switch. Poor Joe.

It's more then saying who you support or how you will vote, it's the party setting the agenda. So Joe Manchin says Harry Reid has to work with him, but Sen. Reid sets the agenda and if 51 Dems are against coal mining, too bad Joe, you lose. That's why the party setting the aganda is important. If West Virginians were really concerned, they would have voted in John Raese. With a Republican majority, cap and trade would be dead. 51 Dems can now vote in cap and trade and laugh at the WV coal miners and Joe's ad shooting the cap and trade bulls-eye.

Joe, You shot a hole in the cap and trade bill. Now hang it, gut it, and skin it.

The coal mine owners are crooked and keep WVA in the 19th century. Any attempt to make them accountable results in political chicanery...aka Paul in Ky and the repubs in Pa (horizontal gas drilling)....anything so they can do their dirty work unfettered by any sane environmental oversight......Manchin was lucky and danced in on the middle while Raese was totally a corporate slug. The people in WVA may be poor but they are not dumb.

Americans must remember, that the very essence of a free government consists in considering elective offices as public trusts, bestowed for the, "good of the country", and "not" for the benefits of an individual or a political party's ideology... Btw, there is nothing so powerful as truth-and often nothing so strange. What most citizens actually want is, for both political parties, democrat & republican to work collectively together for the good of the nation! That's what they are elected for! And stop all these political party rivalries. If the republicans can't prove that they can accomplish what the citizens of this great nation wants, then they will kicked to the curb again in two years! You can count on it! America does not want gridlock, etc. Stop all the political hatred, etc. Work together on the nation's business! Republicans have "two" years to prove themselves in Congress! America does not belong to the Democrats or Republicans, and certainly not the Tea party movement! It's belongs to it's loyal citizens that give consent under the US Constitution to being govern! So no political party ought to be gloating over any election! The US Constitution begins with, "We the people..." Remember that!

Now that he has been elected, let us see if he can produce on what he promised us. All of the Mountaineers are going to watch him very closely. If he cannot do what he ran on he will not get my vote the next time around.

He does not need to switch parties but he will have to work along side with republicans . I see him as the type of Democrat that will and has more in common with them on important issues . We in the TEA PARTY are going to have to make some inroads back into the democrat party if we are going to make sure we get full control back away from the far left loonies now in control of the Democrat Party.

The republicans don't need manchin; he needs the Republicans. He ran on being pro-gun, pro-life, anti cap & trade and against obamacare. He sounds like the olympia snowe of the democrat party.

Manchin is still a democrat but pro-gun, pro-life, against cap & trade, against obamacare (now, but supported it before?) does he really sound like a democrat? I guess he does he will say anything to get elected.
