(16,925 posts)BOTH are like Punxsutawney Phil - they "bravely" poke their head out of the ground, look at what's seemingly safe, and then scurry back into the safety of their own dark, hidden cave. NONE of these characters show ANY courage or conviction that makes them worthy of honor. At least Phil inspired the making of a movie that celebrates a reason to have a party in the middle of winter.
Manchin claims to be a Democrat but keeps breaking the hearts of Democrats by voting for issues that he believes will allow him to keep his job in a deep red state.
Toomey is a "Turtle Soldier" who every once in a while ventures out of his cave and pretends to care about issues that would actually benefit the majority of Pennsylvanians instead of his own favorite 1% banker friends. He dares to do that (it makes great headlines on his "Letters to my Fellow Pennsylvanians" ) because he KNOWS that ain't no way in hell is he gonna' get in trouble for "voting the wrong way."
They both need to go. We need to fight for what is right and kick these carpetbaggers to the curb!
GET OUT THE VOTE - get 'em gone!!!!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
