I assumed the only reason why dems tolerate Manchin is because he supports abortion rights, but I guess I was wrong.

Yeah, even Mitt Romney votes with the Republicans on things like this. Manchin is not a Democrat; he should be kicked out of the party, censured, whatever. The Republicans would not tolerate one of their own acting like that.

Manchin isn't Stupak. Manchin went to Washington to represent the people of West Virginia, not the Democrat party.
