That giant sucking sound: conservatives fleeing the GOP's "Big Tent"

When even the Democrats admit the election was stolen, it's time for a re-do.

Sen. Thad Cochran emerged from the June 24 GOP senate primary run-off election against state senator Chris McDaniel with a margin of victory of about 6700 votes. Haley Barbour's machine dangled enough money in front of enough Democrats to get 35,000 of their votes for Cochran.

Now if any of those Democrats voted in the Democratic primary on June 3, they were ineligible to vote in the Cochran-McDaniel run-off.

Thus, if the poll books indicate that somewhere in the neighborhood of 7000 votes were improperly and illegally cast, this election should be headed toward yet another run-off. Maybe this time it will be fair.

According to Breitbart, Claude McInnis, the Hinds County Democratic Party election coordinator, believes there were a whole truckload of fraudulent Democratic votes cast in his county alone.

"I'm going to guess 3,000," he told Breitbart. "It may be more, but I only have access to the Democratic votes, so that's what I'm guessing the difference may be."

Even worse for the Barbour Regime Machine, the chairman of the state Democratic Party, Rickey Cole, is admitting the election likely was stolen from McDaniel. He told Breitbart that "it is very conceivable" that the McDaniel camp "will find a number of irregularities that will reach 6,700 or greater," a number which would call for a new election.

"You don't have to prove who they voted for," said Cole. "You just have to prove there were that many ineligible ballots. That puts the intent of the voting public in doubt, and that's the path by which a court would order a new election."

The "Blacks for Cochran" may have done more than win a primary for Cochran; they may have splintered the Republicans and lead to Democrat victories in November.

It reminds me of the Arab Muslim conquest of the Eastern Roman province of Egypt in the 7th century.

The Egyptians were Monophysite Christians, while the imperial capital Constantinople was Orthodox. Years of religious persecution of Egypt by Constantinople alienated the Egyptian Christians, who then didn't feel like fighting on behalf of the Eastern Roman Empire which persecuted them, and so the Arabs took over Egypt.

How many time does the GOP-e have to tell us that they don't want us? How many times do they have to publicly say that they are embarrassed by having us?

How many times will party-hack sycophants of the GOP Ruling Class threaten FReepers that if we do not vote for the guy with the 'R" after their name - that we are 'traitors' and 'carry the full responsibility of what Obama and the Democrats are doing'?????

Time to tell them all they can pound sand.

The GOP went Whig in their effort to make Conservatives politically irrelevant.

We certainly do electronic ballots.

We’ve done them at the precinct I vote in since at least 2006.

Electronic books, I mean.

Hey are you following Hostage’s analysis of the situation? It’s very, very encouraging!

When "moderate" Republicans start recruiting Democrats so they can win, it should be a wake up call to all conservatives that a third party is needed.

The Republicans won't get one dime from me. And if I were in Mississippi I wouldn't cross the street to vote for Sen. Thad Cochran. They're playing us for suckers.

Great analogy.

What if the Ruling Class at the Imperial Capital were happy with and silently working for the Arabs to take over Egypt because they hated the Monophysite Christians more than the idea of losing a country?

I think that would fit the GOP Ruling Class more perfectly in how it views Conservative Christians that it hates more than the idea of losing the country itself to the MarxoFascists.

After a few decades of being told to vote for "the lesser of two evils" we now get pure evil from establishment Republicans.

They're not even "lesser" anymore.

New election? Why should the guy who was cheated have to run another campaign?

Cochran should go to jail, the election should be overturned, and we should move on.

"That giant sucking sound: conservatives fleeing the GOP's "Big Tent"..."

.... The DOPe (Devout Obama Party establishment) are counting on this to happen to guarantee a split vote amongst the remnants of the GOP. This will guarantee the next President is a Democrat and create the event horizon of one party rule in America.

.... You could say it's a Win/Win situation for them.

Aha! You've updated the analogy and nailed it!

The Constantinople ruling class wasn't as bad as the GOP ruling class.

Given the ugly demographic trends, the continued excellence in Democrat voter fraud in battleground states, and sustained infighting on our side, it’s not difficult to forecast continued Democrat rule.

Nope, no electronic bookkeeping at my precinct. All printouts and signed ledgers.

Yep, that's the 'takeaway' from this mess. Time to kick the dust from one's shoes, and make tracks away from these 'people'...

Well, there is a kind of balance there: I hate the Ruling Class of the gop more than I hate the idea of losing to the dems.

The lying, cheating, thieving dem is exactly who I think he is, and I keep my eye on him.

The lying, cheating, thieving gop, until now, I trusted to do the right thing, most of the time. But since they snuck up behind me and stabbed me in the back, I want nothing to do with ‘em. I used to say with confidence that when it was nut-cutting time, the guy with the R behind his name would vote to lower taxes and cut spending. They’ve proven me wrong on the one, solid argument for loyally voting gop on the general ballot...

I didn’t leave the gop, they sorta slimed away from me, and the further away they got, the more they looked like the lying, cheating, thieving dems...and now, I can’t tell ‘em apart.

And the worst part of all of this? The GOPe may have opened Pandoras box and put Mississippi, which is a deeply red state into play for the rats. Because now, all those rats who would stay home due to not having a chance at winning so why bother, might just come to the polls and vote.

More than once...and there won’t be a damn thing Barber or the rest of the reThuglicans that run Mississippi can do about it. Complain and they are racist.

Unintended consequences.

The dims morphed into the Communist party USA.
The repubs moved left to fill the void.
We have no republican party, just a hand full of repubs who are actually representing us, the American taxpayer.

>>When the tent gets so big that it overlaps the Rat tent, it’s time to leave.<<

I disagree. When the leaders act like they’re in the other tent, it’s time to pick new leaders. The tea party movement is pulling the GOP back toward traditional American values like fiscal responsibility and limited government, but some of the leaders are resisting.

The solution is to dump the leadership, not the party. Cantor was a start, and a darned good one at that. What you’re seeing now are the actions of a very scared few, desperate to maintain control, but they’re losing.

Recognize the successes thus far and soldier on. Mississippi was a very costly battle for the leadership, and they probably haven’t paid the full price yet.
