Senate Republicans paid for Mississippi attack ads painting tea partiers as racist: report
The Washington Times ^ | 7/16/14

Posted on 07/16/2014 10:35:11 AM PDT by Sybeck1

Mississippi attack ads that painted conservative Republicans and tea partiers as racists were funded by Senate Republicans, RedState editor-in-chief Erick Erickson has confirmed.

Advertisements by All Citizens for Mississippi, which attacked state Sen. Chris McDaniel and painted conservatives as racists, were partly funded by Sens. Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker and Roy Blunt, RedState reported.

According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour-backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.

They don’t want the Tea Party to gain any momentum.

They think they can slide in and keep their cushy job with help from democrats.

The last time I gave was when Sarah Palin was put on the ticket. Since then, I give to candidates and not the GOP. They keep sending me requests for money and I keep sending them back with not-so-subtle hints on what they could do with their requests. I haven’t received one in a while, but if I do a copy of this RedState article is going back with it.

Not surprising.

Methinks the "We'll call you racist because we know we can count on your vote anyway" crowd will be getting a HUGE wake-up call in the near future.

I sent my senator, Rob Portman, a letter expressing my disappointment in him. He used to be my congressman, in the very conservative Ohio 2d, and at that time he was a “very conservative” representative of the 2d district.

It’s a revelation to see his transformation after being elevated by the GOP-E to budget director under Bush. He’s not the same man...if he ever was — and that part is discouraging.

they are just itching for the tea party to split off and become a third party ain’t they?

And I am just itching for the GOP-e to split off and become a third party. The Conservatives must take over the GOP or they are going extinct. The Demographics demand it - who in a nation of free loader wagon riders will vote for a political organization that wants you to work and take responsibility for yourself when the RATS offer free goodies cradle to grave?

Probably the one pro-tea party story the media might follow.

“And that’s why Conservatives should not give cash to the GOP”

Haven’t in years.

Hope some indictments come out of MS and Thad steps aside.

Then Lamar is next on the RINO list to aim for.

Just keep knocking them out of office. The rest will run scared.

Welcome to William Wallace’s world. The Nobles (GOPe) will say they support you and then stab you in the back when the time comes. This is nothing new, the elite want the power and the perks and they want you to pay for it and shut up. The American people want their freedom back.

The reason the stinking RINOpublicans lose elections is because they eat their own. The stinking Dimocommies never do this crap. They turn on each other in private and rarely in public. But the stupid republicans always screw themselves into the ground by pulling this crap. I am so glad that quit the stinking republican party. They are beyond *&#^%$. I vote for individuals now. No party voting for me.

A third party would not win. But neither would the republicans. That would be it for the gop. Then in the next election the true conservatives could take out the liberals.

It’s amazing when we look back at this country’s founding and how things were back then. It’s the same now.

And the senate thinks of themselves as the House of Lords.
