U.S. Senator Joe Manchin is a major stumbling block in Biden’s ambitious social agenda.
He’s been telling associates that if he doesn’t get his way on the reconciliation plan, he may leave the democratic party.
We all know that Manchin told his fellow dems to pause the enormous $3.5 trillion bill.
He wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion a few months ago, “I, for one, won’t support a $3.5 trillion bill, or anywhere near that level of additional spending, without greater clarity about why Congress chooses to ignore the serious effects inflation and debt have on existing government programs.”
Then he added, “By placing a strategic pause on this budgetary proposal, by significantly reducing the size of any possible reconciliation bill to only what America can afford and needs to spend, we can and will build a better and stronger nation for all our families.”
Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen also discussed a report claiming why the possibility of Manchin leaving the democratic party is a possibility.
He said, “I wrote a column about why he [Joe Manchin] should do that [leave the democratic party]. He has more in common in the Republican party than he does with the democrat party. He never identified himself as a ‘socialist’ or a ‘liberal.’ But he sees himself as more of a ‘conservative.’ His state [West Virginia] is a ‘very, very deep red’ state.”
Then he added, “They’re [the dems] are driving people and Joe Manchin away… by pursuing socialism when they don’t have a mandate for socialism. The voters did not elect the democratic party to pass a socialist agenda.”
Thiessen also admires how Senator Manchin bravely stood up against Biden’s irrational spending plan. “Joe Manchin is trying to compromise. He’s trying to bring bi-partisan back. He’s trying to reach the aisle. And the democrats are pushing him to vote for things that he doesn’t believe in… and the people in West Virginia don’t believe in. At some point, if your party doesn’t want you and tells you to do things that you don’t believe in… maybe you should go to a party where more people share your beliefs.”
From the looks of it, Manchin’s heart is not in the liberal’s place… and it’s a good thing for our country. He also said in an interview that he’s willing to change parties if the dems won’t hear him out.
“If I’m an embarrassment to my Democrat colleagues, my caucus, the president being the leader of the Democratic Party… if that causes you a problem, let me know, and I’d switch to being independent.”
Manchin added the dems don’t want anything to do with him anymore, “That’s the only thing that was ever discussed. No one accepted that.” This shows that the twisted dems will never hesitate to dislodge one of their people who oppose their plans to ruin our country.
Senator Manchin may be considering being independent right now. But our patriots will be more than happy to accept him in our party if he wants to be officially one of us. Staying away from those twisted liberals is one of the best decisions in his political career.
