What transpired in the Mississippi Senate run-off is a red line for many conservatives across the country, because the Republican Party establishment essentially took a civil war and escalated it to a war for independence.
Its one thing to oppose your base in a primary. Its entirely another to despicably play the race card against your base, and bolster the legitimacy of the propaganda of our race-baiting opponents on the Left. But thats exactly what the Kamikaze pilots running the GOP did. As a result, Chris McDaniel won Republican voters handily on Tuesday, but still lost the run-off statewide thanks to a 43 percent increase among voters in counties President Obama received at least two-thirds of the vote in 2012.
In other words, the GOP establishment used Obama/Alinsky race-baiting tactics against their own base, in order to drive out to the polls in a GOP primary the same low-information-voters that put and kept this Marxist in the White House (which I document here). An unpardonable sin considering there is no reason to go scorched earth against your own base in solidly Republican state except to send a message.
That message is this: if you threaten our corporatist gravy train we will go harder after you then we ever have Democrats.
Now that the message has been sent, there will not be an Appomattox moment in this conflict, when the two sides come back together after one of them has proven his point. The end result of this conflict will either be the defeat of the occupying army (the establishment) or conservatives will Dunkirk (bolt the GOP en masse). I say this not as someone who advocates a third party, although Im asked about it frequently. My typical response to the question is Id like to see what a second party looks like first.
We now know that the second party; i.e., the Republicans, look like. Followers of Saul Alinsky are akin to disciples of the devil (whom Saul Alinsky dedicated a book to). They should be treated as the disciples of the devil that they are!
You think it is more important to let Harry Reid continue as Majority leader in the Senate, and all of the investigative COmmittee chairmanships in Dem hands so that you can get 1 GOP Establishment guy out?
GOPe think we will be like a battered woman and just keep taking them back. Nope, this was a line that should never have been crossed. Im telling everyone, those who dont pay any attention to politics until it is time to vote, what was done and they are shocked and furious.
It’s time to talk to our friends and neighbors, politics can no longer be a an election year phenomena it needs to be a an everyday effort to keep track of the people who are supposed to ‘represent’ us in the ‘halls of power’. They are at it everyday and we need to be too.
It does no good to have a majority in the senate if that majority is made up with senators that are no different than the minority.
What does the establishment GOP do in power? Feather their own nests. What do they do out of power? Feather their own nests. There’s no downside. Plus, one seat in Mississippi isn’t going to make a difference, so don’t get hysterical.
I had half hoped when I saw the headline ‘suicide’ and ‘Mississippi’ that it was Cochran that was suicided...
Let the MS vote fraud investigation begin.
In the meantime...
Ive posted this around the net a number of times and do so again inasmuch as THIS is a constantly recurring problem and some may not grasp how widespread it is. And now that the RNC has OPENLY declared war on the Tea Party, it should be clear to all why I have for a few decades cautioned my many friends to NOT SEND THE RNC A NICKLE.
Over the years when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger mans clothes I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larrys record will tell you that he was a solid an anti-communist America Firster and more Republican than the Pubbies in nearby districts at the time. (His mothers cousin was General George Patton from whom he got the middle name and his incredible resolve and love of this country.) How ironic that he, like General Patton, was also assassinated by the communists they both despised. It was my honor to introduce Larry at his last public speech in the district before that ill-fated KAL007 flight!
Those other candidates ran as Republicans and each had to pass my rigid litmus test or I went looking for someone who did. For that reason, I hooked up with what the TRADITIONAL country club Pubbie establishment types believed were too radical for their refined tastes. I served as treasurer for several and in other capacities for more.
As those campaigns began to unfold and it became clear to the country clubbers that these guys 1) had a shot and 2) were pretty independent thinkers who would be hard to keep on the reservation once they got sworn in, the local Pubbies communicated that information to the Republican National HQ types who rather quickly sent in campaign professionals ostensibly to lock up the impending victory.
Instead, in nearly every case to which I was privy, these professionals proceeded to TORPEDO our guys campaign in subtle but effective ways.
From that experience I can tell you that the Pubbies at the HQ in D.C. would rather have a Democrat win a given district than have a pubbie up there who would embarrass them by refusing to follow the party line.
If YOU become involved in campaigns for solidly conservative, America and Constitution loving, hard-nosed, independent thinking candidates in 2014 and beyond and I pray many of you do — please DO NOT trust any of those folks from GOP HQ in Washington. If they want to send you no-strings cash for your campaign, take it. If, however, they suggest sending in one of their professionals, tell them to fuggetaboutit.
They ARE WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
“The common and continual mischief of the spirit of Party is
sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to
discourage and restrain it.” G. Washington
(BTW, My genealogical research informs me that my 5th great-grandfather, one John Carpenter, was one of George Washingtons Virginia neighbors and fought with GW in the French and Indian War and the Revolution. Prior to that, John traveled with GW during his survey of the Northwest Territories.)
"They did nothing when we imposed RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
They did nothing when I imposed gay marriage against the Mass. Constitution.
They did nothing when we went after Sen. Thompson.
You did nothing when we went after Gov. Palin and her children.
They did nothing when we went after that woman we called a witch.
They did nothing when we went after the Speaker.
And they will do nothing now."
Then I guess the best thing to do would be to have McDaniel get the nomination from the third party with ballot access (this is key) and then have a grassroots campaign to force every Republican official in the state to endorse and actively support him. Cochran must be made to feel a pariah by the rest the Republican Party.
You left out Herman Cain.
The evidence and past proves exactly that. I read a number of Posts from Kentucky Freepers who posted that they were going to vote for McConnell in the General. After he called Conservatives every dirty name in the book and said that it is his mission in life to crush them. So, yes, history shows that they are correct.
From wiki
"In United States politics, a sore-loser law is a law which states that the loser in a primary election can't then run as an independent in the general election.[1] In most states, these laws do not apply to presidential candidates. Many states accomplish the same requirement by having simultaneous registration dates for the primary and the general election;
Hmmm says run as an independent, so it might be possible for him to run as a CP, LP or RP. He was the CP Keynote speaker a few years back so I would imagine the CP would be happy to have him if the registration deadline would allow that.
"Years of betraying its base has put the GOP establishment in a bind. They cant raise money off their base anymore,....
People I know here hang up on RNC callers and return their prepaid mail with "NO" written in big letters.
I hope MS will respond to this outrage with Rage and Fury.....
No, the time for that is past. We have to let the Dims beat the RINO this Nov. and then beat the Dim the next time around.
The RINOs must be taught a lesson. If the RINOs are going to be disloyal to the conservative wing, then we will be to the RINO wing.
Those who think it better to vote RINO than Dem, better pat attention.
The news is they are the same.
The GOPe Trolls are posting all over Free Republic these days, aren’t they?
“If ever a 3rd party could win it is in Ms this year.”
The year was 1968 and yes, Ms went third party already

Add lamar alexander of TN to that list. RINO DELUXE votes with dems 62% of the time, voted to restrict Military pensions, pro amnesty.
Our conservative state Rep Joe Carr is running against him, but is failing to be a show in West TN, staying close to home with his campaign visits. Using social media to spread his message. 1 positive TV ad. lamar has a huge war chest + National GOP, Newt endorsing the OATH BREAKER OF 2 terms and OUT! He’s one of the hand picked RINOS by the establishment gop rinos, good old socialist big gov’t elite.
