It’s Time To ‘Primary’ Joe Manchin And Heidi Heitkamp And For Democrats To Have Guts
« on: February 19, 2017, 01:23:27 pm »
My Democratic Party believes there is man-made climate change.

My Democratic Party believes in science.

My  Democratic Party believes in protecting the environment.

On February 17, 2017 two Democratic United States Senators voted for a man who is a climate denier, a science denier and a destroyer of the environment to head The Environmental Protection Agency.

For that alone, Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp must be “primaried” in 2018 and we should start finding qualified, principled, Progressive candidates in their states today who can take them on and represent true Democratic values in Congress.

I don’t care that West Virginia is a coal state and it is a specious argument for Joe Manchin to say that he didn’t want to offend his coal industry folks.  Bernie Sanders, a hater of coal and a huge advocate for tough and immediate action to fight man-made climate change and a huge advocate for massive environmental protection won the Democratic Primary by 15.6 points and might even have won the entire state in the General.

Heitkamp was elected in a squeaker of an election over the GOP candidate and she had definite name recognition working for her.  Let the Dems replace her with some firebrand ecowhacko who will vote against oil, coal, or agricultural interests (the State's three largest industries), and the Republican will win.

Hillary lost to Trump by at least 30 points in WV. They really believe Bernie could have won?  22222frying pan

My Democratic Party believes in science.

I find that people tend to believe in science as long as it backs a political point of view. if science were to discover that people who vote Democrat have lower IQ's, this writer probably would no longer believe in science

Actually, they would start a campaign to try to get everyone to believe that Lower IQs were superior, and then fund the studies to prove it.
