You mean the Club For Growth is not going to spend money in MS?

Roger Wicker has been snorting too much Cochran and Cornyn.

Roger Wicker is for amnesty.

‘Five hundred [calls] yesterday, and right now, they’re just ringing non-stop,’ said an upset staffer at the office of Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, who has voted on both sides of the dispute.

The @MSGOP had obviously no role in tactics of either campaign but somehow is a target for upset supporters; we need to get this behind us

They are PACs, not a bunch of lawyers. It is not their job to spend money investigating Haley Barbour.

Let's boil it down. Are YOU OK with the tactics that Barbour et al used to turn out Democrats to vote for Cochran?

Yes or no.

Why would Club For Growth be spending more money going into the future on a race that has already taken place?

“We expect that Senator Cochran and others gained a new appreciation of voter frustration about the threats to economic freedom and national solvency."

Oh yeah, they appreciate our frustration, enough to call us racists and go hire Scooby Doo to buy a new voter bloc in exchange for favors unknown.

Yes I am. You win an election by getting more votes than the other fellow. Under Mississippi law, anyone who did not vote in the Democratic primary was eligible to vote in the Republican runoff. In fact, it was smart politics to reach out to Democrats and anyone else who didn’t vote the first go round. Were there an handful of illegal votes? Probably, just as there are in an election in an state for any office.

No...Just someone who enjoys seeing Tea Partiers work themselves into a frenzy trying to justify another ass whipping at the polls. Not everyone on FR subscribes to the Tea Party. Some of us want to win elections instead of debating who’s the most conservative of the losing candidates.

Well it is Pyrrhic to win an election at the cost of becoming total mush.

Thank you for the straight up answer. Good luck on the survival thing.

So YOU support RomneyCARE, RomneyMarriage,
Romney statism, and the new Polygamy,
and now beastiality of the GOP?

Or do YOU support the protection of Obama
afforded by the complicit GOP?

or do YOU support the EXEMPT GOP?

Yes. Yes. Yes, it seems.
Because the Tea Party says No. No. No.

Esh! You sure are posting a lot of threads trying to dissuade people from sticking to their guns on the McDaniel thing in Mississippi, aren't you.

Nice try, won't work.

Since GOPe have shown themselves to be the conservative's enemy, maybe we should start treating them like one.

LOL Ranch it was no ass whipping.

The primary was won by McDaniel. Did you forget? And there was chicanery in that election too.

This MS thing stinks as bad as the IRS thing. And you stink at your job as bad as the defenders of “not a smidgeon of corruption”.

zot

The old guard GOP is really going all out now to tamp down the anger. God forbid they should be helping defeat any Democrats, especially the one who is going to be the next Senator from MS.
