Thad Cochran’s Debt to Mississippi
The New York Times ^ | JUNE 25, 2014 | THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Posted on 06/25/2014 6:29:57 PM PDT by mdittmar

The prospect of electing an intemperate Tea Party candidate who was openly nostalgic for Confederate days was so repellent to many black voters in Mississippi that they did a remarkable thing on Tuesday, crossing party lines to help give the Republican Senate nomination to Thad Cochran, in office for 36 years.

VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT. To think that the NY Times was ever considered a respectable publication. Good G-D!!!! I'm ashamed to have my name associated with the GOP after this.

The old fornicator seems rather exhausted by the excitement of riling up the Black Democrats with his hate mail. He may have a limited term.

Well Leftwing Democrats do own Cochran now. Its not surprising they expect a man they helped to help them. Cochran did denounce Conservative principles in his ads.

The progressive forces of the GOPe, the DemocRATS and their allies now OWN Cochran....AND HE WILL DO THEIR BIDDING if reelected. It would be better for a southern DemocRAT to be elected than Cochran at this point. RINOS, please stay your flamings-—I don’t need it.

Thad should retire to give himself more “barn time”. When Thad’s in town, the sheep are nervous.

I can`t effect that race but I do live in Ohio and there is a third party guy running in my district. Sent an e-mail to the republicrat already in place to that effect, I`m awaiting a reply.

Does this POS news rag actually think conservatives are going to stop trying to throw out squish career politicians who have no interest in representing their values?

3rd party? I have not felt so dismayed and betrayed by an ostensible Republican since Lowell Weicker ran as an Independent for governor, won, reneged on his no state income tax pledge and slapped us with one when I lived in CT.

Just reading the excerpt makes me feel a need to shower.

Does anybody read the NYT? If so, why? Suicide by constant death of brain cells is a sad way to go.
