Conservatives' Crummy Dilemma in MS Senate Race

Sometimes you just have to stand on principle. This old "Hold your nose and vote Republican" has not done one thing for the Conservative cause in 20 years. Cochran and Barbour are wanting to use McDaniel's supporters like they used the Blacks in the Primary Run-Off Election. And, may I make one more observation................

We talk about how the DemocRAT Party use the Blacks, who have never gotten off the Plantation, to keep voting for them so they can stay in power while they stay in poverty. Well guess what? The GOP Establishment types, like Cochran and Barbour, are trying to do the same thing to us that we've accused the 'Rats of doing to Blacks for decades. Me? I'm a slave to no one. Anyone who wants to vote for Cochran, go ahead. But, when you wake up on the morning of November 5th and look in the mirror, remember: You're still on the plantation. Now, bow down and kiss the feet of Massah Cochran and Massah Barbour. May they both rot in hell for raping the voters of Mississippi and the most sacred thing we had left in this nation; the right to fair elections.

The “conservative” democrats I’ve had occasion to meet and talk to end up justifying votes for obama, hood, pryor, childers, or manchin of course I’ve never heard childers give his justification for voting for “The Food Safety Act”. If you look at the voting record numbers the “conservative” democrat Conservative voting percentages are below the liberal Republicans such as cochran and wicker. How many “conservative democrats didn’t vote for reid and pelosi. In 1964 I lived in Memphis and traveled most of Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas most were democrats even on a local scale today the county democrat office holders still promote liberal democrats another reason we need closed primaries in Mississippi.

No you will get the ballot. Like my one little protest vote will determine the balance of the senate??? Wish I was that powerful in other areas of my life.

[Cboldt]

I think this election is a freebie, meaning you can vote however you want, and Cochran/GOP still gets the seat. The race isn't even close.

We get the same sort of affair here in Maine. The margin is so big on the federal races that there is no reason to hold your nose.

[Din Maker]

Isn’t the Democrat Underground missing you about now Alaska or are you a Mukowski-style Republican?

[USS Alaska]

Not only is a purge of the GOP needed but one is needed right here on FR.

Since you don't agree with my comments, I should be PURGED?

WOW, it makes me proud to have served my country, so that you can have an opinion, but mine should be PURGED?

You are selfish and have a liberal's approach to disagreement, just PURGE them.

I don't care how pissed off some Mississippi FReepers are, there are bigger things in the world than your precious feelings.

PURGE DAT.

[Din Maker]

Can’t wait. I will snap you pic of my ballot and post here next Tuesday morning for your viewing pleasure

LOL! Love it! You da man Sybeck1.

[duffee]

You seem to be promoting travis childers to be my next Senator, don’t you think we have enough problems in Mississippi with our own cottonmouth republican snakes without electing a democrat rattlesnake?

[Din Maker]

Good. I thought duffee convinced you to vote for Thad.

[Din Maker]

I would respectfully request that you read Post #61. Your choice is yours to make. You have to live with yourself.

[Yosemitest]

What an IDIOT!

That image depicts EXACTLY what Thad COCKROACH and the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" have done.
They pissed off their BASE, and THEY WILL SUFFER FOR IT !
You MIND-NUMBED ROBOTS who SUFFER from "ABUSED WIFE SYNDROME" can go ahead and take the ABUSE from the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS".
But INTELLIGENT PEOPLE will NO LONGER put up with the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and their CRAP !

I'll take out (vote AGAINST) an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time I get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.

You got it?

"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"SHALL NOT PASS !


It's SIMPLE.

Vote AGAINST "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" !
Vote FOR REAL CONSERVATIVE "Tea Party Candidates" !

[duffee]

I’ve posted many times that I intend to “WRITE IN” Chris McDaniel and will not vote for cochran, childers or the third party guy and YES, I know it won’t count but it counts for me. Whatever happens I’ll have no regrets. And I may have at least as good idea of what barbour, the cochran campaign, the NRSC and the Mississippi Republican party has done to Conservatives as you do. Where are you from?

[ken5050]

A few procedural questions, if I may:

1. If Cochran resigns next year, and the governor names a replacement..it's NOT for the full term..just until the next statewide election. Miss has a gubernatorial election next November, and then of course, there's the 2016 election, so dependng on when Cochran gets send to the old-age home...McDaniel could run in the primary against whomever is appointed, and I assume would likely win. The GOPe wouldn't be able to pull the same crapola again..and Miss conservatives..would be flat out ready for the primary.

2. If you write in Cochran's name, is the entire ballot invalidated, or just your Senate vote?

Thanks..

Well, that’s good news. It sure seemed like you were picking Cochran as a “hold your nose” vote. I’m from Texas. But, I’m interested in all the Senate Races because in the U.S.A., there are 350 million people and only 100 people in the Senate representing 350 million in the entire nation. Every Senator affects my life regardless of what state either of us is from.

[Din Maker]

And one more thing, FWIW....... I’m skipping the Senate Race on the ballot here in Texas. I am NOT voting for my RINO Senator, John Cornyn, who has his head so far up Mitch McConnell’s rear end, if Mitch ever made a quick turn at a corner, it would break Cornyn’s neck.

[Yosemitest]

"but at least allow your Conservative conscience and principles to guide you
to just skip the Senate Race on the ballot
or write-in Chris McDaniel,
EVEN THOUGH IT WON'T COUNT."

You couldn't be MORE WRONG, even if you tried !
IT WILL COUNT !
Do you think those ballots will go UN-ANALYZED ?

And as far as your suggestion to "just SKIP the Senate Race ON THE BALLOT"...

Oh, HELL NO !

You're asking for us to NOT VOTE AGAINST COCKROACH and all the ILK of "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS".
Not gonna' happen !
Ity takes TWO votes for COCKROACH to OVERCOME a vote AGAINST an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN".
So, I'M VOTING AGAINST ALL "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS", and that INCLUDES COCKROASCH !

Neither author mentioned the main problem with the stay at home protest.

Staying at home punishes the down-ticket candidates, too.

So go to the polls and vote for Childers, but also support your down-ticket candidates. Don't let them get caught in the anger.

Remember... this is a special case where the incumbent rule won't apply in 6 years. A Democrat in Mississippi will be much easier to remove than a hand-picked Barbour protege, because the Republican machine will target the Democrat in 6 years. They will protect the Republican in 6 years.

Take the bullet now and vote for Childers, and oust him in 6 years.

[mrsmel]

LOL, well put, the snake analogy.

[Political Junkie Too]

Six years is a long time. Whoever “wins” the seat has a six year term. Even a newbie Democrat can build a power base in six year.

One has to consider the Barbour machine in Mississippi. If it is really that fearsome, then I wouldn't worry about a Democrat entrenching himself over the next 6 years.

Either Barbour is a paper tiger or he's not. So far, the way he stopped the McDaniel court challenges at every level in Mississippi, he ought to be able to stifle any attempt at a Childers empire building attempt.

[Din Maker]

If you write in Cochran’s name, is the entire ballot invalidated, or just your Senate vote?

I think you meant if you write in “McDaniel’s name”. No your ballot is NOT invalidated. You have the right to write-in a name. The rest of your ballot votes will count.
