Sometimes I think that Joe Manchin is one of the few moderate Democrats left in Congress. He acknowledges inflation caused by regulations, energy policy, wild leftist fiscal policy and massive spending supported by the White House, and the increased damage that this bill will do to our economy. Still, we can’t forget that he’s still a politician.

Don’t ever lose sight that he’s a Democrat! If he liked what the Right does he would’ve changed party.

Manchin is no hero. Manchin has heard from his constituents, and the threats of the Communist Democrats are nothing compared to the ire of Westbygawd miners and families.
Manchin knows which side of his bread is buttered, and it’s not Washington D.C.
Manchin wants to retain his legacy in Westbygawd, and his legacy will be burned to the ground by the D.C. Communitsts.
Those Westbygawd guys are no dummies. Nice the Communists so underestimate them lol.

Nobody is saying that Manchin is a hero; certainly not me.

Def not you nor me, but there are plenty of folks out there who are calling out Manchin as some kind of hero.
From Andrea Widburg this morning, at American Thinker –
“Manchin put country over party and he deserves thanks for doing so”
“Joe Manchin torpedoes Democrats’ Build Back Better catastrophe”

Country over party? Manchin did no such thing.
Was married to one of those Westbygawd hillbillies/hoopies (and his family) for twenty years, which is why I say Manchin is no hero. They all know where their fortune lies, and it’s not in Washington, D.C.

Well, he did do what his “country” (constituents) prefer, so it isn’t completely incorrect.
I think most of us (including the writers) recognize that he is a democrat and a politician who is mostly looking out for himself, but I give credit where it is due, and he did the right thing this time.
