Actually, I read that Cochran has voted against Reid about 90% of the time. I think he’s despicable in general, probably senile, and should suffer legal consequences if it can be proved he had any involvement in stealing the election through fraud, but we’ve got to keep this in perspective.

We need to have more GOP Senators, because in this current legislature and with this administration, unless there is a numerical GOP majority that takes control out of Harry Reid’s hands, you can elect all the conservatives you want and they will still be able to do nothing. In legislative politics, numbers are all.

This is true of the House, too. Things have gotten significantly better since the GOP gained control of it, but there still isn’t a big enough majority for many actions.

I think people have learned a lot from this Cochran debacle, and it has definitely discredited old guard pols like Barbour and Cochran in a big way. I think they’d find it very difficult to get away with stunts like this in the future, and if conservatives stay the course and fight against them, they won’t have much chance. If 35,000 Dems voted and Cochran still won by only 6,000 votes, that means that McDaniel would have won easily without the fraud. But in the meantime, we simply need GOP bodies in those numbered seats in Congress.

I am certain it is the acme of foolishness, but wouldn’t it be nice to hear SOME expression of regret from the Beltway Boys? Even something like, “mistakes were made” “excessive zeal” “poor judgement”?

I’m not holding my breath.

They crossed a line, my FRiend. There is good reason to expect this will be SOP moving forward. Why wouldn’t it be?

I really don't believe the accuracy of what you have read.

We do know, because it is posted here regularly by Cotton1706, that Cochran's conservative rating is in the low 50's, which implies a much lower voting percentage of voting against Reid 90% of the time.

Wrong. What happened in MS is absolutely unforgivable.

Thad must go. Those rascist ads are disgusting beyond words.

I have a few Conservative friends next door in MS. They are livid and are planing to vote for Childers.

You are likely a GOPe puke operative. Tell Karl hi!

LOL! Making up facts?

Cochran is not going to really change things in Washington like McDaniel would have.

GOP does not equal real conservative in 95 percent of the cases. Cochran used a liberal smear message to win the election and proved what he really is in his heart like most Republicans.

I agree with conservatives who choose not to vote for Cochran in November.

I will not vote for most Republicans including my governor Tom Corbett here in Pennsylvania because they like Cochran have proven by their actions they are not real conservatives.

Well said.
