Lawmakers are frustrated about being kept in the dark as Democratic leaders strategize how to jimmy an energy deal struck with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) behind closed doors through Congress — while also averting a government shutdown.

Democratic leadership is aiming to use a must-pass government-funding bill to advance an energy permitting proposal by Manchin by the end of the month. But with roughly two weeks standing between Congress and the critical funding deadline, tensions are simmering over the closely-kept negotiations.

Manchin brings ‘home’ the ‘pork’, and the bacon, and the $$$$$$$$$$.

All WV voters care for is the pork, regardless of party.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Manchin wanted something for his signature and now that he’s calling it in, the rats are panicked. They thought they would just run over him.

[bigfootbob]

You’re exactly right. I do not believe there’s a single genuine conservative left in West Virginia if ever.

Well? Those WV voters sure as hell didn't mind having a senator who was a leader in the KKK? Still have roads, bridges, parks named after one of the biggest racists in the last 50 years?

It wasn’t very long ago that more than just a few members around here were wishing and hoping he would jump parties.
