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.
Concern trolls got it hard in this world today.
How is it any different from the liberal republican thumb?
Kitty looks angry. Me thinks he wants fries with his ranch dressing. Or perhaps onion rings.
He also appears to be having a bad whisker day, poor thing,
Tyger Tyger zotting bright
You prefer liberals who molest farmyard animals?
A candidate who would have lost had it not been for democrat shenanigans?
A candidate who those same dems will not vote for in the general election, thus handing that seat to the dems?
Congrats on your new dem seat!
They come sliming and creeping around during every election cycle, primary or general.
We just have to realize that and be prepared.
They’re fun chew toys though.
humblegunner, once again un able to contribute to the adults conversation, has been sent back to the kiddie table - with squash all over his bib.
I kind of like the whiskers look on that guy.
He seems to have enjoyed the fried ranch dressing. ;-)
And I’m not running out of ZOT or lightning graphics any time soon, either.
Gone already? Rats. I do miss all the fun.
Hope you are well.
If you think being an arrogant braggart is contributing, you’re more deluded than I had previously imagined.
Contributing to your ego perhaps, but merely annoying to everyone else.
Go soothe yourself.
Were it me, I’d see if I could get a bulk rate.
The GOP-E is strong in this one.
Humblegunner has not been sent anywhere.
You must pay close attention to detail when you’re looking at someone’s profile page.
Thank you. We are fine here. Bryan is mowing the lawn, and I’m FReepin’. What could be better?
It’s nice to see you, and may you and yours be happy and healthy as well.
What I know is that I live rent free in your head. What I know is you and I’ve had about 200 FR conversations, and YOU’VE started every damned one of them. What I know is you are obsessed - I am bored and amused.
What I know is the only time I am off topic is when I take a minute to tweak your 50,60 IQ points, whatever it is. You, on the other hand, are ALWAYS off topic.
Takes more arrogance to self appoint yourself Barney Fife than anything I’ve ever done.
The traitors in the GOPe are infiltrators and leftists.
I cannot imagine any other reason why they would be against Conservatives,
Conservative principles, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Greedy [unladylike word]s!!

My sentiments exactly.
LOL! Good one, Tex!
There are a few who I search regularly because they amuse me, but you ain't one. Keep trying.
You, on the other hand, are ALWAYS off topic.
Speaking in absolutes.. "always, never".. is an automatic fail.
Big shot authors ought to know stuff like that.
Now go shine up your "cred".
