Cursed the political machine of the GOP... and still we are advised if we leave the party we’ll never win... I say, tell em all to go to hell, we are forming a third party!
Cochrans at 40%
That is up big for an incumbent?!
*****************************************************************************************
I agree, it’s a pathetic number for an incumbent. Wait until the DemocRAT political ads begin. When folks go into the voting booth in November, the folks who traditionally always vote DemocRAT will still do that and a significant chunk of folks who traditionally vote Republican will still do that BUT FOR THE SENATE RACE where rightfully angry conservatives will hold their noses and vote for Childers to send the GOP a message they need to receive.
GOPe fraud and corruption cannot be allow to succeed.
I’m not a tin foil hat kind of gal, but I can honestly perceive a plan where Cochran wins, then resigns (health reasons, ya know) and Barbour appoints himself or a place holder until a special election or the next regular election is held. Barbour would then keep control of the state party and be in the driver’s seat to be elected.
Cochran is showing the effects of his age. His errant wandering in the Capitol is pretty alarming.
McDaniel is not only fighting for this election. He’s taking on the whole corrupt, power hungry GOPe establishment in MS. Maybe he doesn’t care if he’s tainted goods and is willing to be a sacrificial lamb if it reveals the true colors of the Cochran/Barbour cabal and levels the playing field for the next real conservative who runs.
I’m disenchanted with the whole process at this point. According to Sabato, this will be the best year for incumbents in a long time. No matter what, scum get elected.
Karl Rove got all his crud candidates in North Carolina and Oklahoma and Georgia ad infinitum. I am excited about exactly ZERO new senate candidates except perhaps Ben Sasse, and maybe Ernst in Iowa is okay.
I have no incentive to do anything this year. Repukes are going to lose again, I can see it now.
If 58% of Mississippians think Cochran won that despicable primary fair and square, then 58% of Mississippians are dumb as a box of rocks.
John Tower was a 35-year old Conservative (younger even than Ted Cruz) when he won the special election to succeed the liberal LBJ over an old (62) Tory Democrat seatwarmer named Dollar Bill Blakley. He was certainly in line with the ideological lean of Texas voters and at the vanguard of the state’s eventual realignment to the GOP.
Travis Childers was a 50-year old Democrat fluke running in a Republican district where the special election nominee, Greg Davis, was a creepy closeted homosexual RINO (who also turned out to be a criminal, sentenced just this month to prison for 2 1/2 years). Had the nominee been the choice of the base, ex-Tupelo Mayor Glenn McCullough, Childers would’ve lost. Now Childers is 56, certainly in no likely position to embark on a career in the Senate that would take him to 80 years of age (Tower was all of 60 when he wrapped up his 24 years in the Senate). His election would similarly be a fluke, based entirely on the corruption of the incumbent and his fitness for office, not an affirmation of a return to the Democrat party after MS’s realignment to the GOP.
Bryant is supposed to appoint Gregg Harper after Thad retires in a couple
Very reminiscent of Illinois with its corrupt Combine. In that state, you’re either “in” (pro-Combine) or “out” (anti-Combine reformist). The party labels themselves tell you nothing. Sen. Durbin (D), Sen. Kirk (RINO), Gov. Quinn (D), Quinn’s RINO opponent in November, Bruce Rauner, & even Emperor Zero, all Combiners. Elections are fixed and stolen on behalf of Combiners, regardless of party label.
Barbour isn’t Governor anymore (Phil Bryant is), but he’s chin-deep in the fraud surrounding this race.
If Cochran is only at 40%, he is in serious trouble.
It’s all so obvious to us now, but this has been going on for years, under the radar, unreported by the govt propagandists. I fear it is too late now. We lost everything our forefathers built. I’m so angry about it and yet so sad for our beloved country. It’s just hard to believe there are people that hate this beautiful country so much that they worked for decades to destroy it.
It’s all about power and control. Their morals and ethics are as far afield from the Founders as imaginable. Today, these politicians will cling to it until they are senile, dead, or can install their flunkies to perpetuate their power after they’ve “retired.” Long ago, most of the Founders realized the dangers of such power and would give it up voluntarily, lest they become the very corruption they railed against in the first place.
One thing is quite clear: the Tree of Liberty cannot possibly be more parched than it is now (and yet, it will become even drier before real action is taken).
Ms Ping
I don’t either. They won’t be getting money or promises this time around!!!!
I totally disagree. I'm not a political scholar or historical buff but I personally think it's worth any price to fight the fraud.
This crap about someone's political future if they fight is why we're in the mess we're in. Just like they talked Coleman into conceding and Franken giving us Obamacare, nothing good can come from putting one's own political future above the will of the people and integrity of elections.
Never give up, Chris!
How is it odd that so many are undecided? You dump and rain on the
same voters you need in the general election and this is what you get.
A large portion of MS conservatives on the fence on if they will sit it out
or vote for Childers.
BTW 40% is not a ringing endorsement for Cochran.
Spread your nonsense elsewhere.
PPP is a Democrat polling organization. Naturally, they would back Cochran.
Can you imagine that senile old goat heading the Appropriations Committee in the next Senate? The Dems know they will have the keys to the vault with that incompetent running the bank.
I said this in an earlier thread and I’ll repeat it:
Forget vote fraud, forget race-baiting ads, forget Cochrans refusal to debate McDaniel (if in fact hes still capable of speaking w/out a handler). The Republican primary was so Republicans could choose their representative in the November elections. The operative word here is Republicans. After he trailed McDaniel June 3 he begged the state Democrats to save his political butt. God only know what deal he cut to get their support, but get it he did. His democrat allies came to his rescue, and it is to them he now owes much.
Bottom line-our Republican candidate was chosen by Democrats with the blessings of the RNC. If it had been Republicans alone making the choice McDaniel wouldve won. Period. The actions of Cochran and the RNC make a mockery of the word representative, and I will NOT go along with this blatant theft. As for those who think this is sour grapes just remember, if the poker game is crooked, it doesnt matter if it’s the only game in town, you get out of it. And thats just what Im doing this Fall...
The only way we will have an honest government is to see this matter through and be willing to do it again and again.
Folks....PPP is a liberal, left-wing Democrat pollster that is never right. They rig the early polls...and then two or three days before the general....they come in with an severly amended poll. They are not honest or honorable folks!!! Like Obama....they lie...100% of the time!!!
