Joe Manchin Gets it Right

Joe Manchin, Democratic Senate Candidate in West Virginia, got it right: "Every time this country has hit the bottom, it's the Democrats who have stood up and helped people."

There's simply no debate there. For at least the last one hundred and thirty years, it is the Democrats that step forward when the people need help. Republicans have long been hell-bent on destroying the social safety net and letting the people starve during troubled times. Why? More money for Republican fat-cat patrons. It really is that simple.
