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."

wow

[ilgipper]

Cool...let’s all campaign on calling Republicans racist. Seems like a good plan, John.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

McKeating is as pathological a liar as The Won.

[GOPJ]

Is McCain saying black democrats are soooooooo easy that everyone should use them?

[GeronL]

These cretins do not see that they are dividing and destroying their own party through their alliance with the Democrats.

Or they do not care.

McLame is way overdue for commitment to a funny farm.

[mrsmel]

Freakin moron. They're supposed to draw hem in with a conservative message, not by stabbing conservatives in the back and pandering to the left, calling conservatives racist and actually castigating them for not supporting the extreme leftist Obama!

[Ray76]

McCain is an idiot and a traitor.

[uncitizen]

The Uniparty doubles down on giving the finger to GOP base.

[grania]

wow

I'll state this thought again: Why would we want the likes of McCain, Cochran, Flake, Ayotte, Murkowski, McConnell (the list goes on) be the majority of anything? They scare me.

[GeronL]

exactly/

Why are we supposed to keep electing these people?

[GOPJ]

"The key is you'd better pay attention, you'd better work hard, you'd better organize."

LOL - McCain's 'plan' has nothing to do with working hard and being organized. It has to do with buying off folks with fear and bling... who are used to being 'bought off'.

Real conservatives are NOT charmed John McCain... you and Cochran are disgusting...

John McCain is a good example of what happens when people are consumed with lust for acceptance into the social in crowd of "This Town". He has all the amenities of life most people only dream of. Yet rather than enjoying his wife, her money and his multiple estates, he chooses the cesspool of the beltway society as where he wants to spend his life. And for all his time in congress he is leaving behind a legacy of absolutely nothing productive that anyone can cite.

So the GOPe has decided they could stop conservative republicans like Ted Cruz, by running ads with talk of lynchings and the sounds of chains dragging.

[liberalh8ter]

So, Juan advocates tormenting a particular race with threats of oppression as a tool for re-election? This should be shouted from the mountain tops! Let old Juan face the shame of his words.

[wardaddy]

His family comes from old blue blood Mississippi line

A traitor to his own kind

Despicable

[jimfree]

McCain was very proud of the Dems and Indies that voted for him in several 2008 open primaries and abandoned him in the general. Yeah, let’s emulate that.

[skeeter]

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."

McCain is disgusting. He knows damn well why conservatives are complaining about the way the Cochran campaign achieved its 'victory'.

Or he's a deranged, detached senile old bastard who IS totally clueless.

[Waryone]

I am about to contact my congress person and Rubio asking them what they think of the GOPe tactics and whether they agree with McCain. They’d better be willing to sign an agreement stating no way, no how.
