In a 47-51, party line vote with two Senators Lieberman (CT) and Warner (VA) abstaining Democrats proved that there is no such animal as a Conservative Democrat.
The utter failure of the Republican Party's ability to politic like Democrats to get votes from the other side not withstanding, not one Democrat voted to repeal Obamacare even if their constituencies demand its repeal.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (MO) voted with Democrats against 71% of her fellow Missourians who cast ballots against Obamacare last August. Sen. Ben Nelson’s (NE) state is 2-to-1 against Obamacare yet he voted with Democrats blocking Obamacare’s appeal.
Joe Manchin represented himself as a conservative to be elected Senator of West Virginia over his Republican challenger John Raese. West Virginians now know that had they elected a Republican they would have been one vote closer to repealing Obamacare. (see article)

duh
He’s a Dem what do you expect from him.
He’s a DEMOCRAT.....THEY LIE ALL THE TIME!!!
The vast numbers of allowed voters never learn and do not pay attention except maybe in the month prior to the election. Only when direct effects hit them will they wake up.
Man how long is it going to take for a majority of people to get the memo?
Why don't you just post it?
I have to say the real failure here is on the part of Raese and the Republicans. Joe Manchin shot a bullet through the “Cap and Trade” bill and that created a perception that he was somehow conservative. Raese and the GOP did not do a good enough job pointing out the obvious—that Manchin would be Harry Reid’s b___tch whenever his vote was really needed.
The other side of the coin is that perhaps West Virginians really aren’t that conservative. Its a populist state that isn’t comfortable with wine and cheese Limousine Libs like Obama but that doesn’t make them conservative. Maybe they really want Communist medicine.
I just got an email from my senator (Warner, D-VA) who didn’t have the stones to vote on the record for Obamacare, but he’s breaking his arm patting himself on the back over getting the US Army to straighten out their record keeping at Arlington Nat’l Cemetery. Good job, senator. LOSER
They got the memo. They’re just not smart enough to understand it.
Yes and they say the same about Republicans. The situation before Americans is how to stop those Dems or Repubs who do not have America’s best interest at heart. And I don’t mean what they think America’s best interests are. I mean Constitutionally, Economically and Militarily what America’s best interests are.
That's OK, she'll just break out her "mom voice" during the campaign and get them back in line.
It’s in their genes.
There are no statesmen among democrats. Especially in the obama administration. They go with the program..... or else. None of them are free thinkers or strong leaders — all cowards - all afraid to dare speak out against “the one”.
All of them following the lead of their Pied Piper, Nancy Pelosi.
Agaian who is stupid? Nancy or those who wade in the crap she scatters behind her.
GNS
Sur-PRISE West Virginia....NOT!
Thanks from the rest of us....
“Man how long is it going to take for a majority of people to get the memo”?
...in states like NY, CA, Missouri, W Va etc, never. The stupids of America vote like they choose soda. Whoever is the most recognizable. Manchin simply picks a topic that’s on the minds of the people at election time and lies. He only needs to do this a few times and he stays in power for decades.
Well, he's a RAT isn't he?
ALL RATs always lie about everything.
Politicians lie to get elected. It’s what they do.
