Manchin to be fêted by Bloomberg
Buzzfeed reports that the junior senator of West Virginia, Joe Manchin, formerly endorsed by the NRA, will be fêted by anti-gun lunatic, New York City mayor Michael “Nanny” Bloomberg for Manchin’s attempts to push through the Senate a backdoor federal gun registration measure disguised as “enhanced background checks”.
The fundraiser, scheduled for July 22, marks Bloomberg’s efforts to reward those who supported the gun control campaign and punish those senators who voted against it, including four Democratic senators: Montana’s Max Baucus, Alaska’s Mark Begich, North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp, and Arkansas’ Mark Pryor. Last month, the New York City mayor appealed to state donors to cut off contributions to the four lawmakers.
Yeah, but Manchin launched a video this last month to tell us that he hadn’t chnged, that he was the same Joe Manchin who we voted for in November. Hardly. I didn’t vote for a Northeast liberal, I voted for the guy who introduced federal CCW legislation to the Senate, which has apparently died on the vine.
I’m fairly certain that you couldn’t find two West Virginians to rub together who welcomes this new alliance between Manchin and Bloomberg. But, obviously, since Manchin isn’t in danger of losing his job for five more years, he doesn’t care much what his constituents think of his new-found friendship with the anti-gun crowd.

I cannot wait to see this turd’s senate career buried in a landslide in five years.
The attention span of the average American is about five seconds. Manchin’s support of Bloomy will be long forgotten by 2018, and if anyone bring it up, I’m sure it’ll simply be “misrepresented” or “distorted” by his potential opponents.
Meanwhile Giffords/Kelley are in Alaska pushing their anti-gun bullshit. Good luck with that in a State where even our Democrats say FU to gun control.
Well, there is such a thing as a recall election. Maybe someone should start that petition in WV??
@4, unless I am mistaken, WV does not permit recallss
With Bloom’in’idiot’s endorsement of Man-chin, this would appear to be the final nail in the coffin of his re-election.
@5: Ah, I see. Well, it sucks to be them, then.
Old Trooper, It really does suck to have that back stabbing prick for the next few years! I would love to see legislation introduced to the WV constitution allowing recalls. As it stands, we are stuck with him! *(%#)%!!!!
Manchin should remember the old adage about lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas.
Joe Mancini probably has bigger plans than getting reelected in 2018…maybe candidate for Prez or Cankle’s running mate in 2016.
@8: I feel your pain. Don’t forget we have Al “the fart huffing freak” Franken to deal with. Of course, he’s up for reelection next year and Teddy the Wonder Chimp would be better than him.
May Bloomerbuns choke on his fat, overflowing wallet.
He’s so busy interfering in everyone else’s life, he never stops to look at his own. This is gonna backfire on him, but good. Not everyone can be bought like Manchin, who is only looking for a cash cow.
Manchin’s true colors: do whatever is necessary to get what you want, and screw anyone who stands in your way.
Speaking of Bloomy, why is it that douchetastic assclown can tell us peons what to eat, smoke, drink, think, etc., but he’s totally fine with going to the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest weigh-in and witnessing that spectacle of gluttony?
Oh, wait–tax money. Dumbshit tourists witnessing dumbshits doing dumbshit stuff. Nevermind.
It’s actually kind of genius. They’re out to stop TriMet’s Milwaukie light rail project and they’re the ones behind the county’s inability to pass a $5 vehicle fee to help pay for the
Sellwood Bridge project. apple jam… niceee!!!! Only puffs of air and plastic sheeting held by
the instability of flow’ of the brevity of life provokes
the question of how deep into my heart. Couture costumes recall
long-gone-by eras of glamour.
