Black Democrats Tell Thad Cochran: We Own You Now

Nothing in life is free. And now that Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) was able to narrowly beat his Tea Party rival, due to thousands of black Democrats who crossed party lines to vote in the GOP primary runoff, his new constituency is looking to cash in on their influence.

In their minds, Cochran, who is in line to chair the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee if Republicans take back the Senate, is now a part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)--and should vote like a CBC member.

According to Politico, "Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are talking about what they want Cochran to do" if he gets re-elected for another six-year term. Their wishlist includes "maintaining funding for food stamps, beefing up programs that help poor blacks in Mississippi and even supporting the Voting Rights Act."

You REALLY need to look at a state’s election laws before you decide it’s time to throw a true conservative into the trashcan.

In MISSISSIPPI, McDaniel can neither be elected as a write-in candidate or run as a third party candidate.

IMHO, he has no chance to be re-elected. None.

This will not end well for Cochran.
It also will not end well for the corrupt Barbour clan
and any MS State politician or MS GOP officials who supported
Cochran. A Pandora’s Box has been opened.

I’m waiting for the Rev Jesse Jackson to set up a meeting with Cochran
to make his demands known.

I'd pay money to be a fly on the wall during that meeting.

Jackson: "We're here to discuss our requirements."
Thad: "Where's my coffee? Did you forget to bring it again?!"

That’s how they think. The vote is some kind of currency. No wonder they are where they are, and probably always will be....

senator wicker was all for this and supported thad’s efforts to enlist democrats complete with 175 thousand Republican National Senatorial Committee dollars to cover the walking around money and the robo-calls and flyers calling Senator McDaniel a racist, and a klansman. senator wicker’s office said he was proud of the RNSC’s effort in senator Cochran’s behalf and that enlisting democrats to vote in the republican primary was a good strategy he supported. He may well need a bunch of them in his next primary.
