Joe Manchin actually said...

"We're getting the living crap beat out of us by this Administration, my Administration being a Democrat."

"You're taking the only affordable, reliable, dependable power you have and they're scrubbing that because of an idealistic approach they're taking which is not going to be able to fuel this nation."

"My focus in the Senate and the committee has been on an all in, an all of the above, energy policy which I just think you heard my colleague Senator Hoeven speak about."

"We need some friends. We need some people that will just look at it in a more level playing field."
