Senate Republicans paid for Mississippi attack ads painting tea partiers as racist: report
The Washington Times ^ | 7/16/14

Mississippi attack ads that painted conservative Republicans and tea partiers as racists were funded by Senate Republicans, RedState editor-in-chief Erick Erickson has confirmed.

Advertisements by All Citizens for Mississippi, which attacked state Sen. Chris McDaniel and painted conservatives as racists, were partly funded by Sens. Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker and Roy Blunt, RedState reported.

According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour-backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.

We have been able to do little to stop Obama with the Senate in Dem hands and the thought of what else they can do in at least 2 more years would mean the end. I am not ready for the total destruction of this country.


What makes you think the GOP wants to stop Obama?

Only a few “upstart Hobbits” like Cruz seem willing to fight.

It surely seems to me that U.S. “Republicans” have a fetish of some kind for Obama, or they are just too defeatist and forlorn to fight.

I don’t see Cruz as an “upstart Hobbit” but as a giant among pygmies. Other than feathering their own nests, I see very little effort by the Repubs to right this ship either. I count 6 actual conservatives and 2 maybes in both the House and Senate. Not nearly enough to affect meaningful change, but we have to start somewhere.

It has occurred to me that the GOP-e has given up because it knows something that we don’t. Seems strange that the bulk of them refuse to fight.

This is what happens when career politicians get power.

The “Hobbit” remark was something McCain called the TEA Party Conservatives. It was meant as sarcasm.

We need more Republicans like Ted Cruz and Katrina Pierson if the GOP will have any chance at survival.

they are just itching for the tea party to split off and become a third party ain’t they?


And when it happens the Republican party will be DOA. Finito. And that would probably be a good thing.

I find it very hard to believe the Republican party thinks stifling those who disagree with the Left the most, is the road to success in putting down the Left in our nation. Therefore I have to accept that the Republican party supports the Left in the United States. We have been betrayed. We live in a one party nation.
You are exactly right. This proves they want the benefits and perks and will do anything to try and keep things the way they were. This makes them just as anti-America as the Left.
