Manchin is the biggest hypocrite in Washington DC. He claims he’s pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, and pro-2nd amendment, and ran against Obamacare, but he’s still in the democratic party where they hate gun rights, hate unborn children, hate God, and hate marriage. Can you say hypocrite!

[Joe Boucher]

With good reason they are very afraid

Manchin ran supporting coal and turned his back on the only industry in the state.still the fools voted for his sorry ass as they have the stupid rockafeller for years. Look how great that’s gone for em

I live in a state that will never ever have pub senators nor governors...not my area....but the other part of the state is solid insanely democrat no matter what...I have little choice...

but you folks in states like Montana and West Virginia and North dakota....you have a chance to send solid conservaative people to Congress...

yet we get Manchin....

this is the absolute truth....rats are 100% loyal to party first, citizens second...they don't care about the people....they only care to keep in line with their Rat masters....

so this Manchin guy talked a good line...blah...blah...blah....I'm telling you right now...he'll only vote conservative if it doesn't make a difference,and he'll always back the leftist rats....

Guess he doesn’t quite understand what the title Representative means.

You folks in WV are on your own but had best take Manchin to a series or proper “schools” because it’s obvious from here that he’s just itchin’to sell you out.

The people of West Virginia were offered a good, solid Republican candidate, I understand, and yet they just seem so attached to Democrats that they cannot see what is in their best interests.

“The lesson to be learned here is that if you elect a dumbocrat, no matter if he/she has a AAA+++++++ rating from the NRA, he/she will always be suspect, because in the end they are still Democrats.”

Which brings us to the NRA’s relationship with that POS Harry Reid..

Come to think of it, my esteemed Rep. Courtney (D-CT) hasn’t had a major town hall meeting since ObamaCare. Even then he held it in Woodstock, as far as possible from his constituents.

Here's your opportunity to call your Congressman and ask when they will be holding a townhall meeting..or not. The Tea Party Patriots is conducting a drive whereby they will assist you in making a call to your Congressman and asking them if and when they will be holding a townhall.

Statement from Chris W. Cox Regarding Universal Background Checks

Posted on January 24, 2013

An article appearing on TheHill.com today asserted that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is working on a bill with the NRA that would implement universal background checks.

NRA does NOT support universal background checks and is not working with Manchin to implement this type of legislation. NRA opposes, and will continue to oppose, universal background checks and registration schemes.

"Which brings us to the NRA’s relationship with that POS Harry Reid.."

What relationship there is could come to an abrupt end if he brings up an assault weapons ban. I just want to clarify one thing about Harry Reid and the NRA. It's been more that Harry Reid has courted their support than the other way around. I believe last election he had a B rating from them. The only thing that made me a little upset with the NRA and Reid is when they didn't back Sharon Angle against him in 2010. Though she has strong positions on the second amendment I believe she didn't have any legislative votes on it, therefore they went with Reid.

Unfortunately most of the democrats who own weapons will support obama because of their worship of him. They may even bitch but, in the end, they’ll fall in line.

I know obama worshippers who were very angry about Sotomayor. Yet they all voted to re-elect their messiah.
