No, maybe Snidely Whiplash on a bad hair day after a late night, but NOT a she.

RINO – Republican In Name Only – is a term used to describe people who are not truly Republican, they just run as a Republican on the ballot to get elected. Is Chris McDaniel a RINO?
He claims he is a lifelong Republican, but…
He voted in the Democratic Primary
“Records show conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel voted as a Democrat in the 2003 state primary.” –Associated Press 11/13/2013
Chris McDaniel denied it. But, “McDaniel’s campaign spokesman Keith Plunkett said it is possible McDaniel voted in the 2003 Democratic primary.”
Mississippi’s Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann confirms it: “I looked at [the records], and they show he voted Democrat when Haley Barbour, Amy Tuck, Tate Reeves and Stacey Pickering were running in the Republican Primary. They also show he didn’t vote in the presidential election in 2004 — when Bush was running — and didn’t vote in the Republican Primary in 2008.”
So, Chris McDaniel says he is a lifelong Republican. But he voted in the Democratic Primary; didn’t vote in an important Republican Primary, and when liberal Democrat Senator John Kerry was running against President George W. Bush…he didn’t vote at all.
Chris McDaniel, he says one thing, his record says something else.
Which Party Is It?
When Chris McDaniel first ran for his office in 2007, Ryan Walters, one of his top advisers on his campaign committee was just four years prior the Vice Chairman of the Mississippi Reform Party and served on the Reform Party National Committee.
In 2012, Chris McDaniel was a featured speaker at the Mississippi Constitution Party’s State Convention.
And in April, when faced with criticisms of the Libertarian Party, he tried to make amends with that organization, he said, “I defended the Libertarian party on many occasions, despite objections from some on the political right.”
So which is it, Chris? Reform Party or Constitution Party or Republican Party or Libertarian Party or Democratic Party?
Perhaps we’ll never know, because as McDaniel said to the Libertarians, “the longer I serve in government, the more my positions evolve.”
Editorial
The Carthaginian – November 21, 2013 Editorial: McDaniel can’t cry ‘Liar’
A few years back a new newspaper editor moved into a South Delta town and began pumping life into the local weekly with lively news that evoked some consternation.
It led to some serious name calling against the scribe, culminating, the story goes, with a elderly farmer walking through the door of the newspaper and inquiring, “Are you the fellow everyone’s calling a ***-**-*-*****?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well,” the old farmer rejoined, “ain’t nobody calling you a liar.”
Chris McDaniel, Tea Party hopeful for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Sen. Thad Cochran, has taken issue with reports he has, in times past, voted a Democratic Party ticket or skipped major Republican Party votes.
After initial confusion in his reply, it came out that state maintained computer records did show McDaniel had voted in a Democratic Party primary and skipped a GOP primary.
That apparently being a grave insult to his conservative credentials, McDaniel or his mouthpieces countered that he had to vote Democratic to vote in local elections, that perhaps someone had struck a wrong key and his vote was improperly recorded, that Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a rumored GOP aspirant to the Senate seat, was playing politics at state expense.
The key now is, he ain’t calling nobody a liar.
I think we’re going to see a big drop in the turn-out of the “OK, I’ll hold my nose and vote” bloc.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Exactly what animal did you and Cochran have sex with, Karl?
Now it's the smell of ozone in the morning.
Such a shame….was really looking forward to his in depth thoughtful analysis on the story on Breitbart someone posted. /s
banned?
I think that is the salient question.
Not 100% sure, but he may be a she.
I get leery now of any Democrat promising such things.
With that narrow circusmaster moustache!
I love the smell of ozone in the morning.
Well, well, well...a BOGUS conservative poster (OldRanchHand) posts some old (November 2013) propaganda from a FAUX conservative website (a mislabled propaganda arm of the Mississippi RINOs) dedicated to destroying Chris McDaniel and other REAL CONSERVATIVES.
And this old garbage is posted in late June 2014 -— I wonder why?
In this case it literally IS the morning.
Personally I think it is terrible that they can find out who you voted for or even if you voted at all. I think it should ALWAYS be confidential and actually after 2 election cycles all paperwork should be destroyed. I mean what was normal in 1988 when I first began voting may not be so much in 2014. For example, I voted for George H Bush for President in 1988.....however, because he was not the most conservative on the ticket at the time, if I were to run for something they could say that against me and say I was not conservative because I didn’t vote for such and such because he was more conservative the George Bush. Farfetched? Not in today’s political environment. Quite frankly it is nobody’s business who I voted for in 1988 or 2012 for that matter.
Trying to shame away the McDaniel challenge to the Cochran campaign shenanigans by drawing a deeply questionable moral equivalence. McDaniel’s challenge isn’t even about the ethics of the campaign (which itself stunk), it’s about the raw legality. Were enough of these twice-voters in the primaries to cast doubt on the outcome?
Yep. LOL!
If someone is watching, even ephemeral records can be preserved.
