Democrats can’t win this fair and square, so they have every incentive to sow dissension in GOP ranks


That’s already been done...BY THE GOP!

He indicates in the RedState article that the Cochrane campaign is trying to pay him now, but he’s giving the McDaniel campaign the chance to pay him first.


I think he’s waiting for the RATS to deploy some very expensive lawyers to his assistance before he accidentally opens his big mouth again. That, or a life insurance ploy, or both.

Have not heard any detail about 19,000 absentee ballots. That’s the number I recall reading and I’m pretty sure it relates to the runoff.

Do you break the law if you agree to do something for money then don’t get paid? Is getting stiffed the same as changing your mind?

He admits to passing out $15 at a pop to buy votes. Even if it was his own money, I think that's breaking the law.

Dems always overreach and they are running out of time. their window closes in 2016. Now or never.

They think they have sufficiently demonized/Alynski’d TEA. They want the brass ring.

Free Republic is usually first with stories such as this.

The others will catch up.

My sources are impeccable...so therefore credible.

“What kind of person would take a measly $15 for their vote?”

Well then, how much would you have to have?

I wonder if Alzheimer’s has ever been used as a defense in a vote-buying trial?

I’ve come to the realization that it’s our principles that are holding us back, Norm.

Just imagine how much easier our lives would be, and how much happier we’d be with the state of the country and its leadership, if we just let go of all that old fashioned stuff about individual liberty, God-given rights, government serving the people, and low taxation/regulation, capitalism, etc.

If we could just set aside our old notions of personal freedom and greatness of country, we could hold hands in the sun with all the liberals, LGBT queers, Commies, leftists, Low Infos, illegals, greenies, crony capitalists, race pimps, social justice warriors, federal bureaucrats, Travons, moderates, and GOP sell-outs, and sing Kumbayah like we mean it!

What a grand thing it would be -— but for our paleolithic principles - sigh...

Unless it’s contagious, I don’t think it will be a legit defense. Besides, imagine the fallout from admitting to Robert Byrding the guy with that defense...wheel a mentally compromised man out to party vote and wheel him out.

We may well be witnessing an event like the exposure of Dan Rather. That, of course, was first uncovered by FReeper, Buckhead. In the current matter, FR serves for dissemination of original investigation and getting the story noticed.

LOL! I wonder if Alzheimer’s has ever been used as a reason to be sent back to the Senate.

Hell plenty know we kid and are offended because their true beliefs are being mocked. Their ‘CONSERVATIVE’ beliefs.

That word...I do not think it means what they think it means...

Good to know. Thanks. I hope McDaniel’s legal team has been given a heads-up on this. Thanks again.

“What advantage does this “Reverend” have in implicating himself in the vote buying?

GOOD QUESTION!”

If I had to guess, immunity.
