Very true. Just because I won’t vote for a Democrat doesn’t mean that I will vote for a Republican. I will vote straight ticket down-ballot, but at the Federal level, I will not vote for any incumbent who has betrayed our national platform. If that gives some seats to Democrats, so be it. . . maybe America just needs a little more pain before they are ready to re-engage in self-government.

That’s okay.
Thad can console himself with his farmyard friends.

Karl Rove stepped in it this morning when he inadvertently acknowledge the fraud by saying that more people showed up for the runoff than for the regular election — ya think Karl???

The National Republican Senatorial Committee should stay OUT of any primary race.

Their job is to help elect Republicans to the Senate not select who the Republican candidate will be.

My Email to Megyn Kelly at Fox News:
****
Here is a post that showed up on Freerepublic.com today. It is a complaint about Fox News, particularly the Chris Wallace Sunday Show and the Fox News coverage of the Mississippi election. Here it is:

They were talking about this on the Chris Wallace show on FOX today. The panel included Rove, Hume and a couple of others. Of course the horrendous dirty tactics used were not mentioned. They just talked about how amazing it was that more came out on the primary run off than came out the first time-again no mention that it was black democrats or why it happened. Disgusting.

You probably have no idea how bad this makes Karl Rove, Brit Hume and Chris Wallace look. The trust is gone. They look like shills for Haley Barbour. And with good reason. They are shills for Hayley Barbour whose obvious goal is to name the next Senator from Mississippi when Cochran retires in a year or two. One would think this would be NEWS. Apparently not on Fox.

I'm sending you this in hopes that someone on your staff will get the message and talk you into letting people know how the GOP played dirty Democrat politics to win the election, actually steal the election, for Thad Cochran.

If Fox News is going to have any credibility at all, and they lost a ton of it this Sunday, they had better turn you lose to cover this story the way it should covered.

Remember Mississippi!
We will all be thinking about Mississippi this November

Said one staffer: The Cochran thing is bad enough, but it’s not even the worst example. Look at Ben Sasse in Nebraska. He was one of three candidates who would have been fine in that race, all would win the general election and all would have been better votes than the senator they’d replace.

WHAT A CROCK

None of the three candidates are qualified to shine the shoes of the senator they are replacing.

from wiki:

On May 7, 1991, he was elected the 47th Mayor of Lincoln, defeating incumbent Mayor Bill Harris, with 54% of the vote.[8] He took office as Mayor on December 3, 1991. In 1995, Johanns won reelection with no opposition,

... Governor of Nebraska

On November 3, 1998, Johanns and his running mate David I. Maurstad, defeated Hoppner and his running mate Pam Bataillon in the general election, by a margin of 54% to 46%.[28][29]

...

He won reelection in 2002 by a landslide, defeating Democrat Stormy Dean by a margin of 69% to 27%.

Johanns was known for his strong stance on vetoing many bills, in 1999 Johanns vetoed 26 bills in only five days, more than any other Governor in Nebraska history.[38] In 2003 Johanns vetoed the entire $5.4 billion two-year Nebraska state budget. He said that he "could not accept a budget that raised taxes to grow government at a time when the state must cut spending," and called for a nearly 10% cut in every state government program.[39][40] Johanns vetoed legislation increasing the pay of members of the Nebraska Legislature, though the veto was overridden by the legislature; he also vetoed legislation authorizing teacher salary increases

If I lived in Mississippi I would not vote for Cochrane. I would write in McDaniel or vote for the rat.

Wonder if ol’ Thad even knows what’s going on - he seems a bit, er, distracted lately.

Senator Cruz actually works for the NRSC now, as "Vice Chairman for Grassroots Outreach."

National Republican Senatorial Committee | Who We Are


Does that mean reach out and tell the grassroots to sit down and shut up, so that the guys who ran this country
into the ground can keep their Senate seats?  And btw don't get mad when their ads call us racists, right, got it.
