Haley Barbour Dismisses Palin And Santorum As Self-Interested ‘Outside Celebrities’

Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is dismissing Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum as “outside celebrities” who have gotten involved in the highly-charged Mississippi GOP Senate primary to “help themselves nationally.”

Voters in Mississippi head to the polls on Tuesday, when incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran will face a challenge on the ballot from state Sen. Chris McDaniel.

Ahead of the primary, Barbour, the influential Republican in the state, is arguing that McDaniel is relying on out-of-state conservative stars, while Cochran is boasting support from Mississippi Republicans.

“The McDaniel campaign emphasizes the outside celebrities (Palin and Santorum) who are involved in MS to politically help themselves nationally, not because they are trying to help MS, while Phil Bryant, Roger Wicker, Trent Lott, the entire GOP House delegation, all the GOP statewides and I are all involved to try to help our home state and its citizens,” Barbour said in a statement provided to The Daily Caller...

Surprised he didn't call them "outside agitators" a la George Wallace or Bull Connor.

Haley Barbour is an establishment RINO.

Well, Gee, I guess if Haley Barbour said it, it must be true.

[Political Junkie Too]

Usually they cross some "glass ceiling" that then becomes a "glass floor," insulating them from the effects of the laws that their "colleagues" pass onto the rest of us.

It's called extreme wealth.

FAT, CORRUPT SLOB, Haley Barbour can GTH.
I’m sorry I EVER liked him.

[Joe 6-pack]

I seem to recall Santorum winning the MS primary in 2012. I’d think he’s got some credibility with Mississippi voters...

FAT, CORRUPT SLOB, Haley Barbour can GTH. I’m sorry I EVER liked him.

Thank you, onyx. Now back to our regularly scheduled thread...

[Clyde5445]

You like him!!!!!! For sham for sham. :)

[onyx]

I just slammed down the phone on a robo call from Governor Bryant FOR the corrupt Cochran.

I listen through the entire calls FOR McDaniel.

[Lake Living]

Outsiders, exactly right! Outside the orbit of the Rino universe. Duh, that’s why we need more of them. Last time I checked Sarah Palin isn’t running for any office but she can spot a conservative - and Haley, you ani’t one of them and neither is old Thaddaeus. That’s why you and he have to go. Don’t let the broom hit you on the way out (hee, hee).

[onyx]

WHO?
Haley Barbour?

I DESPISE that corrupt politician.

[tennmountainman]

Trent Lott has not lived in MS for years. Lott would have been voted out
if he had not retired, and opened a lobbying firm in DC.

Why would Boss Hogg even mention this if Palin has no influence?
