The good people of WV screwed up by voting him in. Anyone with any sense could’ve seen this guy and his positions coming out. People never learn, there’s no such thing as a “conservative democrat” today.
Everyone should read this gem by Karl Denninger on the subject of Obama (and many others, like Manchin) being complete hypocrites on the gun ssue: http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=215107
Please also pass it on to other threads and your email lists. This kind of brutal logic MUST become part of the “national conversation on guns” that the gun-ban crowd wants to have.
These people allowed themselves to be duped twice now by Manchin. He safely re-elected for a full term now. They can take their revenge in two years by throwing Rockefeller out on his ass, unless he retires, which is likely. Capito seems to be a wishy washy moderate like Scott Brown, who just changed his tune as the winds changed (ran as conservative in 2010, independent in 2012, and probably liberal in his quest to be elected to Kerry’s seat) so the conservatives of WV should find somebody else.
I guess the protesters really are stupid.
First, they continue to vote for Democrats.
Second, they get upset when Democrats lie or betray them.
Damn they sound like Republican voters.
