We have THAD ENOUGH ping!

Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., a 36-year Republican senator facing a primary challenge in 2014, denied that he is out of touch with voters but acknowledged that he "doesn't know a lot about" the Tea Party.
"The Tea Party is something I don't really know a lot about," Cochran, who was elected senator in 1978 after six years in the House, told Mississippi News Now.
Cochran denied Tea Party rival Chris McDaniel's accusation that he's out of touch with conservatives. "I'm as in touch with the people of Mississippi as an elected official can be," he said.
McDaniel is viewed as a heavy underdog to Cochran, but the Senate Conservatives Fund is backing the upstart candidate.
"It's time for a new generation of leadership in the United States Senate," Matt Hoskins, executive director of the SCF super PAC, Senate Conservatives Action, said when they released an ad on McDaniel's behalf. "Chris McDaniel is a proven conservative leader who will stand up to the big spenders in both parties and help restore America's greatness."

He should give his gal pal san fran nan a call. For being “astroturf” they sure are going out of their way to “crush” the Tea Party.
Another reason for TERM LIMITS.
This morning, we were pleased to learn that Right Wing News has endorsed our campaign.
From the endorsement:
"Thad Cochran is not a conservative. His lifetime ACU rating is an unimpressive 79, but in 2011 it was 70 and in 2012, only 52. That would be a perfectly acceptable record for a senator from Maine, but it’s ridiculous for a senator in Mississippi to be running up those numbers. On top of all that, Cochran has been in office since 1978, he’s 76 years old, and he’s mainly known for being the pork king of the Senate."

Thad is thinking about buying one of them new fangled transistor radios so he can stay on top of things.
PERFECT! Hang him on that (electorally speaking of course). This is the best argument for term limits that has ever been made. Short, sweet and to the point. Adds should be getting produced with this as I type this.
The political class in Washington, DC exists to maintaing the status quo and the expansion of Washington, DC. Rename that obelisk currently known as the Washington Monument to the Middle Finger. It’s a perfect symbol of the attitude said political class has looking outwards towards the huddled masses.
Thad, if you don’t know much about the Tea Party, go ask yer buddy, Trent. I’m sure he’ll educate you.
If he doesn’t “know a lot” that’s a heck of a lot more than the DNC’s toadies in the state controlled “media” know about the TEA Party.
“...a 36-year Republican senator...”
That’s the problem, right there.
The Tea Party does not kiss rings, or other circular resemblances!
Which is what he is expecting from them.
Now where in this dad-gummed memo does Haley tell me how to be in touch with the people of Mississippi?!
Another example of why term limits should be implemented.
Thanks to you for the information/link. Thanks to State Senator Chris McDaniel for challenging Cochran. FReeper endorsement BUMP!
Thadeus Caesar has never responded to any letter that I have sent him while he has been in office. At least Wicker acknowledged my letter with a cookie cutter statement.
Just wondering...does Thad still have a home in Mississippi? Or like Pat Roberts, is he tired of living among his constituents?
thad is a disgusting toadie.
“I’m as in touch with the people of Mississippi as an elected official can be,” he said.
You are a liar thad... YOU HAVE NEVER RESPONDED TO ANY EMAIL OR LETTER I HAVE EVER SENT TO YOU... NOT EVEN AN AUTO ANSWER LIKE roger the wickerman sends out!
