Joe Manchin is an fascist asshole!

He is micromanaging and pissing off scores of state employees. Everybody at work knows I'm a big Democrat and they are coming up to me and saying "see what your boy is doing?" Of course I reply I knew he was an asshole and I voted Mountain Party!

First he wants all state employees to use a standard greeting he gives us like most of us haven't been answering calls longer than he's been in gov't. They he's proposing some sort of a dress code that has got EVERYBODY hating him already, and today we get guidelines that no state employee is to speak to the press without getting permission from the Governors office! Sounds like something Bush would do! What happened to free speech?

Almost no state employees I know vote for Democrats anyway cause Democratic governors always screw us by taking us for granted and never giving us raises. But Manchin has taken it to a new level! Ironically Underwood actually treated us better than any governor I have served under, although I voted against him due to environmental issues.

Then he decides to give Workers Comp away as a gift to the insurance industry. Wonder what politically connected insurance company will get the contract!

I'd love to see a good third party challenge but even with a weak Republican candidate I think he'll get clobbered next time. Or maybe we could get a REAL Democrat, that respects public employees to challenge him in the primary! What an arrogant bastard!

2. I am sorry to hear what's going on.
:hug:
I too voted mountain party, but knowing that Manchin was the one who would win it. :(

I hope at least your co-workers lay off.

6. I voted for Lees also!
I knew the new governor was a repig at heart all along! He's quacked just like one all along! Can't do a damned thing for the old folks and the kids except cut off every decent state program they had that saved them from falling through the cracks, but he can spend millions of tax dollars on his new all expense paid home on Kanawha Blvd.! We have a king in WV and Washington too now! Wise wasn't a whole lot better either!

Working people in Wv were screwed any way you sliced it in the last election! Our new Gov is Bush's boy 100%! Wv is as red as Texas now! It's what the damned fools here voted for! The coal barons have finally won the whole state! All the blood, sweat and tears that the old union organizers shed for us all, in all the bloody years gone by, was for NOTHING in the end!

A.T.Massey 100% *---* We the People 0,

Game Over!

I have no choice now but to admit to myself, that the most the voters in Wv are total IDIOTS!

7. I'll bet the shitass wouldn't like my standard greeting for a person
such as himself! Something like, "Hello and good bye, you carpet-bagging, lying, elitist, piece of shei'ite, I wrote in Charlotte Pritt again BTW! So have a nice day Prince Joe.! You hear?"

I knew A James Manchin, Joey! You are no A James Manchin!

I'll bet Joe can't even clog and chew chewing gum at the same time!

8. Micro-manage
Manchin has something to offer. The others did not.

And he is running state and local government like any well-organized bureaucracy should be ran. Bye.
