During the West Virginia senate race this year against Republican John Raese, Governor Joe Manchin has flip-flopped so many times, he is beginning to look like a pretzel. He has turned into a right wing conservative from a staunch supporter of liberal policies and of Barrack Obama's vision for this country.
He has turned 180 degrees on health care reform.He stated earlier this year that he would have totally supported the Health Care Bill. Then as John Raese closed ground and he understands that the majority of the country does not support this bill, he decided that he would go the other way with the excuse that the bill was too obtrusive and that he didn't understand what was in it because of the size of the bill.If that was the case, and we all knew this, then why would he support something in the first place if he didn,t know what was in it? To answer my own question, it is because he is a liberal Democrat and he supports Obama and his policies--end of story.If you elect Manchin, he will be a rubber stamp for Obama and his policies.
He also supports some form of cap and trade.He knows that with his state being a hughe player in the coal industry, that he had to flip-flop on that too to get elected.Wake up West Virginia, this man will say anything to get elected, then he will be just like the rest of the liberal when they get to Washington and vote how he really feels and leave you and the state asking what happened.
Please come to your senses and vote for a new man, a man who has not flip-flopped for political convenience. The carree politician will say anything, anywhere, anytime to get elected. West Virgina has a chance to elect new blood and someone who has experience as a busissman .If he doesn't work out, then you can elect someone else next time, instead of sending the same ones back over and aver again.
Seize this moment and vote for John Raese.

REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN AND WASHINGTON PUNDITS
Yesterday on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace,when discussing the polls on Tuesday elections,Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Democrat MD., stated that the "one thing that the American people don't like is Washington pundits telling them in advance what they're going to do.
Let me be the first to agree with Mr.Van Hollen. The fact is that we make up our own minds based upon our beliefs and principles in how we vote.Maybe that is because we are just too dumb and stupid to take any advice from the experts.You see, we the ordinary people ,are just ignorant redneck,uneducated hick simpletons located in flyover country.
Here are a few things that we truck driving(with gun racks),tobacco chewing, slow talking, and just plain stupid people do object to that the Washington pundits tell us.
This certainly includes the politicians.
1.We don't like it when the Congress stuffs massive pieces of legislation down our throats,especially when they don't even know what is in it themselves,such as the Health Care Law.A bill which is over 2000 pages long and not even the sophisticated legislators say they don't understand, as was exposed during the town hall meetings they held.
2.Speaking of the town hall meetings, we especially despise the attitude of the Congressmen and Senators, when they dismiss us as ignorant of the facts.I would say that we knew and know more about Obamacare than they do.We don't like the fact that they talked down to us, as if we just didn't realize how good this bill would be for us all.Some even told us to sit down and shut up.
3.We don't like it when the Speaker of the House,Ms. Pelosi,tells us that we have to pass the bill before we can know what is in it. Are you kidding me?And we wonder why our education system is failing when the third most powerful person in the United States says something like that,and more disturbing is the fact that many people believe this.
4.We don't like it when the Federal Government bails out certain corporations and then takes over the management of said corporations,such as GM.
5.We don't like it when our President continually runs down this great country when he says we have been dismissive, even derisive.When he tells Latino groups he is speaking to that people who disagrees with them are our enemies and that they must be punished. We can't understand why someone who said he would bring us all together has now divided this country even more by his actions and words.
6.We don't like it when people who work in his administration tell the people they are talking to that this country needs to redistribute wealth.This country was built on free trade and capitalism and individual responsibility.
7.We don't like it when elected officials tell us that they don't care what the Constitution says.
8.We don't like it the politicians tell us that the Government is losing money when we pay fewer taxes as if the money that we make belongs to them instead of the person who worked for it and we should be grateful they allow us to keep.
9.We don't like it when they tell us we need to raise taxes to git rid of the deficit when they continue to spend our money in such wasteful ways that no business could survive more than a year if it was run like the Government.
10.We don't like all of the needless rules and regulations that are simply someone idea on how to control us.
11.We don't like all of the bloated bureaucratic agencies that the Government has implemented and looks as if not stopped will continue to add more.
12.We don't like it when you tell us what we can and cannot eat or drink.
13.We don't like it when you tell us what we can or cannot drive.
14.We don't like it when you tell us that we must turn our thermostats down when you and your staff do as they please.
15.We don't like it when as candidates, you say you stand for just the opposite than what you voted for.See Joe Manchin,candidate for West Virgina Senator.
16.We don't like it when politicians tell us they voted a certain way for a bill, when they were making back room deals and checking to see if their vote was needed to pass the bill,so they might be able to vote the other way to save their seat.
17.We don't like it when our President says that new coal companies can come in but the legislation passed under his watch will bankrupt them.
18.We don't like it when the President says Cap And Trade legislation he favors would necessarily cause electric rates to skyrocket.
19.We don't like it when illegal immigrants are allowed to come across the border and feed off of our hospitals,emergency rooms, schools,and all of the Government giveaways.
20.We don't like it when the President quotes the Declaration Of Independence that he leaves the word Creator out.He has done this more than once.
21.We don't like it when Senators and Congressmen stand on the floor and accuse our brave military people of criminal acts with no proof.
22.We don't like it when our military people,who give us our freedom, are not afforded the basic right of voting.They should be the first to vote.
So Mr.Van Hollen,I could go on and on.I hope you understand what is coming and that by the actions of the politicians has brought this on.We were happy to make our living, raise our children, and worship as we please, but enough is enough.The media and Dems have said we are angry.That isn't the word for it,But you can't say that we didn't warn you.We called your offices,e-mailed you, attended town hall meetings, and tried every way we knew to get you to listen.You REFUSED.Your arrogance has overwhelmed us , but now we get to decide and if the ones that are elected this time are more of the same, they will be booted out too.
So what do you think? Do you think by reading this that we don't like to be told what to do by the pundits and politicians.Oh that's right, you didn't mention politicians when you made your statement to Chris Wallace yesterday.But you see, the pundits don't pass legislation,you do.
