Chris McDaniel: I was “betrayed” by the GOP establishment
MOFO Politics ^ | 25 Jun 14 | MFP

Posted on 06/25/2014 7:35:18 PM PDT by xzins

Chris McDaniel, onthe blatantly unethical and illegal tactics employed by Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour in the Mississippi GOP runoff Tuesday…

“McDaniel: I am a two-term state senator, I have fought for this party my entire life, I’ve given money…I’ve done everything they’ve asked me to do– and last night, they pulled over 35,000 Democrats into a Republican primary to defeat me…we feel betrayed.

Hannity: Do you foresee any circumstance under which you would support this guy? Because I don’t think I could do it.

McDaniel: I prayed about it last night…my core principle is gonna have a hard time even looking at politics again.

Hannity: You sound like you got punched in the gut. You sound like you’ve been betrayed.

McDaniel: Sean, I was…I have fought for these people. These are my colleagues. They are my friends…I don’t understand!

But Ted Cruz has bigger fish to fry… “

“I certainly congratulate my colleague, Thad,” Cruz said on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning, pointing out that the Republican establishment poured millions into the Mississippi race and only won by a thin margin. Cruz reminded the hosts that he did not endorse a candidate in the Mississippi primary, as he promised to stay out of incumbent Senate races.

As does Rand… “

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a potential 2016 presidential contender, declined to support tea party critics of Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran’s efforts to mobilize non-GOP voters to win the Republican nomination.

“I’m for more people voting, not less people voting,” Paul told reporters Wednesday.

The bible is crystal clear... does it say prayers should be made against kings or for kings?

And the only conflict is God’s insistent grace against your best efforts to deconstruct its works.

” what the Mississippi Republican establishment will likely do - offer McDaniel a whole lot of money or some plum job NOT to do such a thing.”

For McDaniel to accept such an offer would make him no better than his GOPe opponents.

These GOP-E guys are the scum of the earth.

Good cop bad cop... You've heard of it? The two politically entrenched insider clubs have been doing this for decades...Works great!

As the audience of fools applaud as both opponents win....

Get it?

If McDaniel has been knocked to his knees he is in the best possible position. Now he is at the door of heaven.

He was, but he doesn’t need to start whining about it. Just pick himself up, dust himself off and get on the ballot as an independent Tea Party candidate, if that’s allowed in Georgia!

Or...call for thousands and thousands of write-ins!

Possibly God has allowed evil to show its face so people may choose.

Just as those who voted for Obama chose to vote for abortion and the killing of babies in the womb; the two go hand and hand.

As the days unfold, voters will have a choice: good or evil.

The GOP is swiftly turning people away by using dirty schemes such as in Mississippi. Many people will decide to choose the 3rd party guy/girl rather than the scheming GOP candidate.

Maybe the GOP has forgotten its support comes from those who fear God?

Better to stand with the righteous than sell your soul for a little earthly power. Voters will abandon the GOP and vote their conscience...as it should be.

It’s a game that the devil tries to get folks to play so that God’s grace gets squeezed out.

Sometimes a big (and undeserved) humiliation will precede an awesome salvational move. It is in the pattern of Christ. It goes completely against the grain of fallen humanity. It seems idiotic and self hating — until it is also recognized as God loving.

I guess he didn't notice millions of middle American's were betrayed many years ago, perpetrated by this party and their own government.

Get over yourself.

Nice leftist tactic, but it's not about me.

See the tagline slick.

Seems obvious doesn’t it?

I am amazed at how many so called christians wear their faith on their sleeve and make excuses for flat out accepting evil as long as the word ‘lesser’ is attached. Excuse after justification after excuse.

We all screw up. It is decidedly Biblical to screw up, be corrected and continue to push the error.

You might check Ephesians 6. We fight not against flesh and blood... go ahead and read the rest for yourself, I will not spoon feed you like an infant.

Saved sinners are the only resource available.

Some of them can be in pretty low spots if the whole land is under judgment, as it is today. Consider Rahab... the wise woman? Oops, the harlot.

No need. I read the book and know how it ends. Evil, lesser and greater loses.

Each rejects evil before salvation.
