West Virginia voters are going to rip the bark off this fool.
Some of us are ... but some of us saw him for the leftist dirtbag he is back in 2010 ...
I think WV voters will retire Machin and Toomey needs to regain the confidence of PA voters!!
Toomey is right, “he’s done”.
In 2018? The low information voters will have long since forgotten --- unless NRA redeems itself by making sure that nobody forgets Manchin the Traitor's treason and anti-constitutional acts.
Note to the Man Chin: Go see Juan McLame. He’s just down the hall from you.
There is a leftist column out there today theorizing that this thing failed because the government is out of money and there weren’t resources available for the required Cornhusker Kickbacks.
Too-late Too-mey
I am in that 4%, and I wonder how many other conservatives are in that category. There is no more pressing issue than the people retaining the power to resist the federal government should that government (unlikely as that may seem) spiral out of control. Protecting the Second Amendment is the most pressing issue, especially when it is under attack. That is followed by protecting the rest of the Constitution, which the Second Amendment allows us to defend, and then cutting the size and cost of government to balance the budget and pay off the debt.
The memory (and video) of the disgusting Obama slobbering all over Toomey with admiration while seething with hatred for the opponents of this legislation after the vote yesterday will be with Toomey forever. That alone should tell Toomey he was on the wrong side of this issue. This should also send a message to Marco Rubio on immigration as well.
Yes, Toomey is going to be beaten bloody by his primary opponent with ads using that Obama speech yesterday.
I like Toomey and this is the first time he’s done something that I disagree with. IMHO trying to primary him will be a mistake. We need to replace PA’s OTHER Senator, the Dumbocrat Casey. Get the guy (or gal) you would have replaced Toomey with and use ‘em to replace Casey and then we’ll talk.
Exactly. A year or two before his election, Manchin will start making a bunch of speeches that get play in the W VA press that make him sound conservative on issues. He’ll get photographed hunting and fishing and talking about family values. He’ll get quoted slamming Democrats in Washington for being out of touch. And the press will protect him by not writing about his actual record. The low information voters will think he’s the same “conservative Democrat” that they thought they elected before and vote for him.
Toomey is truly an idiot. First DADT now this. He’s gone in 2016.
And he needs to be an example for other RINOs! Tow the GOPe line and YER OUT!
No waffling, no going along to get along, NO COMPROMISE!
A full background check by the FBI, same as for a security clearance. Results made public before a candidate can get on the ballot. Same for appointees before senate hearings. I have been saying this for years. Many people I have spoken to think this is a good idea. Politicians, not so much.
I just saw it. (I think it is the one you were referring to.)
Un-Friggin-Believable!
Manchin: I’m not done with universal background checks (Toomey: “I’m done”)
Yes Mr Toomey as a Pennsylvania voter I can assure you that you are indeed done.
You can not ask people to vote for you as a conservative and then back plans to whittle away our Constitutional rights. You WILL NOT get my vote again........
