Seems like simple common sense. Why is he an outlier in his party?

We've been buying oil from Russia for 20+ years.....including during trump admin when we were "energy independent".
We haven't stopped drilling. We paused on new leases.
I don't care what happened the past 20 years. The fact of the matter is, we don't need Russian oil, so shouldn't we stop buying it? And shouldn't we start renewing those leases now so we don't need Russian oil again in the future? Biden can make both those decisions now. And he hasn't. Why not is what I would like to know...
Manchin: "We have to step up to the plate, reverse some the decisions have been made with no leasing, not drilling."
If everyone doesn’t understand that especially in light of what is going on now, I don't know what to say.
Because the dem leadership is afraid to upset the environmental snowflakes.
Well, that, and the polar bears.
Here in Madison, Indiana, gasoline went from $3.29/gal to $3.59/gal four days ago on Feb 26th. This morning after Biden's State of the Union address, it shot up to $3.79. We're braced for $4.00 on the Ides of March.
It was $1.85 on Election Day 2020 and $2.20 on Biden's Inauguration Day.

I guess Forbes is fake news.we were a net exporter. Biden is trying to kill US production.
Biden’s Plan To Outsource The U.S. Oil And Gas Industry
The Biden administration is asking OPEC and Russia to bring more oil to market while strangling American energy producers who could do the same.

And it started on Day One of his administration. Dems are in denial about cancelling the oil/gas leases but there is no weaseling about the Keystone Pipeline. Biden screwed the pooch on his first day in office.
Biden must have a huge supply of Viagra because he's screwed the pooch everyday he's been POTUS.
Day #2 and @BuilderBob6 hasn't answered the question. That's because he knows the answer and doesn't want to admit it...
I'm guessing Nancy Pelosi's husband has now dumped all his investments tied to Russian energy since she came out today in favor of banning our purchase of Russian oil. The decision would have been her husband's alone since she "knows nuthink" about their investment choices.
Biden can't make those decisions. Folks like Builder Bob would scream bloody murder if gas went to $8 a gallon until we can fire those pipelines and wells that his hero, Senile Snerdly, closed on his first day.
I'm a life long conservative, and I would vote for Manchin in the right situation.
Manchin is the most important “Republican” in the USA
Silly boy. You should know Trump had nothing to do with it. He just got lucky and Bidden got unlucky . Tic
I’d would vote for Manchin for President to reward him from keeping us from the Build Back Better train wreck the the far left Socialists are still pushing today.
Plain and simple.
Why?
Russian barrels will be piped to Iran or some other intermediary and then shipped to the US with an “acceptable” country of origin.
Russias still going to sell oil. They’ll just sell it to their frenemies.
Well of course she wasn't telling the truth, you can tell because she is speaking.
Add another ten cents on March 4th, up to $3.89. That's a 60 cent increase in less than a week, or 18%.
It's truly amazing to look at everything that's gone to $hit since Biden became POTUS.
But then again...., at least no mean tweets.
You have to give the guy credit though, I don't think anyone could've predicted it would've gotten this bad, this fast. Dude is a true over achiever and should go down as the greatest president ever in that regard.
I said about 6 months ago that this might be all part of a democratic political plan:
1) Let Biden turn everything to shit
2) Force Biden out as POTUS for health reasons
3) Harris resigns as VP
4) Dem leadership puts in their new chosen candidate
5) chosen one starts reversing some Biden admin policies, things start getting better
6) come election time, Dems injure shoulders patting themselves on the back for saving America from the depth of despair that was '21-22.
That sounds like the typical short sighted Dem plan. Completely missing the point that they could/would lose power in the mid terms and not have the power to select a candidate.
He provided a glimpse of what could happen if the US went from capitalism to socialism. Everyone says that it’s a small change, but it’s not a small change when you stop incentivizing people to work for a living.
Everyone has discussed the cost of energy’s impact on supply chain and resulting inflation, but the “Build Back Better” plan is fraught with other inflationary policies such as UBI, $15 minimum wage and college debt elimination.
Theuniversal basic income (UBI) programs being pushed by Democrat Socialists and what their studies do not cover us what happens when people decide to just stop working and take the government handouts without participating in the workforce. Well, when that happens, the labor supply shrinks which drives up wages, which results in….INFLATION! Now the Democrats will try to tell people who that paying workers more is great, but that leads to greater consumption, higher prices and INFLATION.
Worker need to make more money, but there needs to be a rational approach to increasing wages versus $15 across the board. $15 in LA or Seattle isn’t the same as $15 in nowheresville Alabama or even Indiana. And because Democrats don’t live in those locations (at least the National Democrat leaders don’t live there), they have zero perspective as to what $15 wages mean for those economies.
last but not least is eliminating college debt. The government gives a free handout to white collar youth and then they can go buy expensive houses and cars…what can go wrong? High demand raises prices, and the result is INFLATION.
But Joe hasn’t done anything to cause inflation if you ask the Democrats. It’s all because of COVID and Trump. Yeah, is has everything to do with Democrat’s free money programs.

That is always the issue with liberals, they tend to be from major population centers and can't comprehend that rural America (which landmass perspective) is by far the majority works differently. What works in high density population areas often doesn't translate and can be down right disastrous. A lot of the "green" programs are that way, especially with the push for electric vehicles. Rural areas don't have the infrastructure and it is extremely costly and often completely ridiculous to try and achieve that goal.
They are constantly just trying to push feel good legislation on to rural America with zero understanding of what the impact is to people that live in those areas.
There was a similar comment in today's Wall St Journal: "The great blind spot of progressives in the West is that they get so wrapped up in how thing should be that they ignore reality. This results in policies that make us weak."
