I take it you're not going to stand and fight

I'll stay. I don't expect a fight though. I except it to keep on going downward as it has been.

I’ll bet Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved are popping champagne corks.

Not me. I’ve been a registered Independent since 2009.

For years I’ve told people I’m a Republican “in name only” and when I eventually change my party affiliation that won’t even be the case.

The America we grew up in is gone.

Anyone who says different is either blind or whistling past the graveyard.

But where to go?

I'm sticking around hoping that we can bounce back ... and hopefully not just the dead cat bounce of 2010.

I am a social and fiscal conservative, so there is no party that represents me.

Yup, no party represents people who are grounded in reality and reason. Might be a few stray individual "R"s who start out that way, but how many quickly embrace the dark side. Sure seems like survival in DC requires that anyone not yet so aligned must immediately sell their souls to the devil.

I’m staying home in November. If Cochran needs my one vote to beat Childers he is worse off than we think

I would vote for the dem, Cochran must be PUNISHED for his behavior. The GOP cares little more for you and me than the dems do.

I vote for the third party is 1/2 vote against Cochran. Cast a FULL vote against him, don’t just make the statement, SCREAM IT IN HIS EAR!!!!!

I've not called myself a Republican since I left the party in disgust after the '96 fiasco. I'm currently registered as a Pubbie so I can vote in the Idaho primaries, but that doesn't mean I are one. I'm a conservative independent.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Thad Cochran is unfit for office and won by bribing ignorant Blacks with our tax money. Any Mississippi conservative who votes for him in Nov. has no principles. Stay home or go to the polls and write in McDaniel. He is the only conservative in MS politics.

Did you offer them 50 bucks?

That’s how the NRSC got so many dems to show up for Cochran, even though these dems were supposedly so politically apathetic that they didn’t even vote in the primary...

The first thing we need to do is make the GOP-e wish they had never flipped the bird at the rule of law and the people they hope to get donations from. If you’re not a contributor to the NRSC, call them and tell them they need to put you on a list to NEVER, EVER, EVER call.

I quit the GOP last year. Stuff like this is why. The GOP can’t be saved. It can’t be reformed. It’ll always be a refuge for corporate whores and old men that’ll sell their souls for another term in office. There is zero real interest in small and limited government in the GOP.

the Repubs don’t want Conservatives. Haley Barbour, Karl Rove aren’t pandering to us. Why reward them with votes in the General?

It’s not unprecedented. McCain pulled this crap in Michigan in 2000, getting busloads of Detroit Democrats to vote for him in the Presidential primary over Dubya (who would never vote GOP in the general).

If it can be demonstrably proven that a candidate used such tactics where it made the difference in a close race (as this one in MS did), they should be immediately stripped of their nomination. They did it here in TN, except it was Democrats who did so with a sitting State Senator where we have an open primary.

I never self identified as a Republican or a Democrat. I identify as an American.
