WV people won’t mind. They have not given Manchin a two-year lease but a lifetime contract, and he knows it. People there almost never turn out senators so long as they bring the “goodies.”
“Mrs.” Manchin has no balls.
What a F***** COWARD!!
Typical cowardly ploy to avoid being seen taking a stand against the reckless legislation being forced on America by the lawless Congress Manchin is part of.
This COWARD Manchin has already betrayed the state of West Virginia and the nation. He's a typical lying DemonRAT. How can the people of West Virginia so stupid and willfully blind to give the COWARD Manchin their votes? Are people in West Virgina really that stupid?
Hey Manchin: If you can't handle the peer pressure in the Senate why did you run in the first place?
And if the senate job is "taking you away from your family":
QUIT THE SENATE NOW!
My apology more the expletive.
Sounds like he drank the same water that Obama drank the day of the Clinton Press Conference.
In his defense:
Not showing up has the same effect as voting NO, which was his intention anyway.
This guy is pinned down. For two years he can’t really ever vote with the Dems on any of their red flag bills. And, of course, he can’t vote Repuke. He actually ENTERED the Senate completely neutered. If only the voters of West Virginia would see how this works and realize...
Never mind.
He sets a good example that all Democrats should follow.
Someone ELSE voting “present?”
Republicans were giving him heat for missing votes? Shoot, I would give most Democrats air fare to stay out of DC as much as possible.
At least his predecessor, Grand Kleagle, Robert Byrd, had not trouble standing up for his "principles," wherein Manchin ran as a "conservative" but refused to show up to support them when it counted.
Presumably, Manchin's safe doing such thinks in WV for those folk don't expect much from their corrupt officials.
