John McCain: Cochran's Tactics against Tea Party in MS Worth Emulating
breitbart.com ^ | 6/30/14 | Awr Hawkins

One week after traveling to Mississippi to do his utmost to help Senator Thad Cochran (R) beat Tea Party rival Chris McDaniel, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) talked about the strengths he saw in Cochran's approach to campaigning.

According to AZ Central, McCain dismissed criticism over the tactics the Republican Establishment used to get black Democrats to cross over and vote for Cochran.

Said McCain, "There are some people complaining that African-American voters voted. [But] I thought one of the major priorities of the Republican Party was to get all minority and ethnic voters out to vote for Republicans."

He described Cochran's "get-out-the-vote campaign" as "excellent," then talked about how he will face similar circumstances in Arizona and needs to work equally as hard if he runs again. "The key is you'd better pay attention, you'd better work hard, you'd better organize." He added, "And you'd better understand that there's a strong anti-Washington/anti-incumbency sentiment out there, which is justified and you've got your work cut out for you."

I think the GOP wants to lose, so they can stand back as the rats pass amnesty (which most of the Congressional GOP also wants), and pretend they oppose it.

He and thud need to be in a home for the incurably insane if they think this will be tolerated.

Yeah -- So now John McCain can join the Democrat plantation masters who are always telling black people that it's much better to live on the subsistence-level hand-outs of the government plantation than to risk the horrors and uncertainties of freedom (or, as Uncle Tom Obama and his Democrat supporters like to call it, "You're-On-Your-Own-Economics.")

He also proclaimed that Hissein would be just dandy as president. While Cockroach criticised conservatives for “obstructing” Hussein.

So, it’s fine for blacks or any Dim voters to crossover and make mischief, and decide who wins Republican primaries? Can Juan really be such a fool, or is he suffering serious diminishment of his mental faculties.

These are the uniparty talking points.

1) Cochran was smart to get black vote
2) nothing illegal, move along
3) McDaniel sore loser, even his own groups abandoned him

And the biggest talking point of all, Cochran won and the GOP establishment killed the Tea Party.

This is the alamo for Chris, he’s outnumbered, outgunned, and still wants to fight. Stay with him, people or the propaganda of the left (GOPe included) will win.

You're probably right. We lost this Country, years ago.
