PING!
I've just returned home from my VB TEA Party meeting.
One guy in the know said the internal polling for Thad is awful, which is the reason his campaign went negative.
Prayers and my money for Chris McDaniel.

Mississippi Republican Sen. Thad Chochran is in trouble, and the GOP establishment is pulling out all the stops to save him.
A pro-Cochran super PAC associated with former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is already on the airwaves to define upstart conservative state Senator and challenger Chris McDaniel five months before the primary.
And even Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who on Sunday endorsed Cochran, criticized the group on Monday.
“I’m disappointed in that – it’s just not something that’s necessary,” Bryant said on Monday, according to the Clarion-Ledger. “I would urge them to stop the Republican-on-Republican attack. I believe it was Ronald Reagan who talked about the 11th commandment – thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”
The New York Times reported that now-lobbyist Barbour, who is said to have purchased Newt Gingrich's megaphone before the GOP's historic "Contract with America" election in 1994, will help raise money for the pro-Cochran "Mississippi Conservatives" super PAC. The super PAC on Friday started to run an ad, which will run statewide for three weeks, that attempts to define McDaniel as someone who is not as conservative on Common Core, deficit spending, and tort reform as he may claim. Those three areas coincidentally may be Cochran's biggest weaknesses as he tries to ward off a challenge from McDaniel, who has gotten the support prominent conservative organizations, in what will be a low-turnout primary.
Henry Barbour, Haley's nephew who is advising the super PAC, conceded to the Times that Cochran is vulnerable in this political climate and that his nomination would not be a "cakewalk." Cochran is a six-term senator whom Time magazine described as a "seasoned appropriator" who is a "spitting image of the Republican establishment" running in a deeply anti-establishment and anti-Washington climate.

Got a link for that?
Texas has had enough of the BS and Bushes.
If this is true, and I am very reluctant to say I think the fix is in, that there's not a snowball's chance in hell that Ted Cruz, if he ran, would win the primary -- if the GOP fields another Romney, all bets are off and we had better be ready for action.
The bottom line is really simple. Our Founders envisioned CITIZEN Legislators and not CAREER POLITICIANS to handle the work of governance.
Thad Cochran might not have achieved the drooling, doddering old man stage at this point, but it is well past time for him to go home. He is the face of the Establishment and that is reason enough to retire him.
We really do need to break this deleterious cycle of CAREER POLITICIANS.
“For The Children”, of course.
BTTT
We have devolved into a viper den.
Fortunately. they are easy to vote out.
GO TEA
augh.
Retire in pride and leave us alone.
Ignore the Roosevelt troll. Look him up: he’s a GOPe sleeper who uses reverse psych in all his pathetic posts. Most likely he’s directly paid by Cornyn.
It’s quite evident that you have no grasp on how we TEXANS think.
“Don’t Mess With Texas” isn’t just a catchy slogan. It is a way of life.
Agreed.
George P. Bush is going to get creamed in the primary race. Can we say “Failure To Launch”?
“Our Founders envisioned CITIZEN Legislators and not CAREER POLITICIANS to handle the work of governance.”
Then why did they not put term limits in the constitution ?
RINO(s) = REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY
We are not talking about some very fine examples of God’s work, here.
:-)
RETIRE THE RINO's!!!
I remember!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
That’s easy to answer.
Our Founders were counting on a populace of God-Fearing, Moral and Educated People to understand the RESPONSIBILITY laid at their feet by God Almighty to be forever VIGILANT of their FREEDOM.
..........wonder if with the help of all Freepers a List of “establishment” republicans could be made???
I know
1. McConnell
2. Boehner
3. Rove
4. Bush, Jeb
5. Bush, Dad
6. Bush, George
7. Ryan
8. Cantor
9. Priebus
10. Cornynn
11. Alexander
12. Chambliss
13. Cochran
14. Collins
15. Graham
16. McCain
17. Murkowski
18. Snowe
That’s all I can think of except there are some “big money” bundlers like Rove out there too. I don’t know who any of them are.
I started to put Sessions on the list but think he must be a good guy.
You have summed the RINO leadership up perfectly.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
“Our Founders were counting on a populace of God-Fearing, Moral and Educated People to understand the RESPONSIBILITY laid at their feet by God Almighty to be forever VIGILANT of their FREEDOM.”
YOU ARE SO VERY WRONG.
The founders greatly distrusted the people.
That is why they took direct election of the president out of the hands of the people and put in into the hands of “electors”
That is why they created a 6 year senate term with staggered classes. They did this so that some young Hitler could win the presidency, could have his party carry the House, but he would only have 1/3 of the senate.
The founders believed in an elite senate separate from the people who could put a check and balance on the rest including the judicial appointments of the president and foreign treaties.
Did you leave off Bob Corker and Lamar! from TN and the other MS disappointment, Mr. Wicker.
Also Senator Boozman of AR has RINO tendencies.
