Someone said, on this website, just last night, that Maness was clueless as to what he would do if elected and given the opportunity to do something. Well, I suggest that anyone who thinks that, read this article.

He promises to protect local veterans by fighting to dismantle the Department of Veterans Affairs and absorbing it into the Department of Defense, abolishing the VA medical system and giving veterans a medical identification card that can be given to multiple care providers.

Hmmmmmm...... That could make some Vets nervous.

Establishment folks. They're attacking Rob just like they attacked Palin.
I invite everyone to check out their endorsements. Cassidy has not ONE endorsement from a conservative or conservative group. All are establishment politicians. Maness has the backing of conservative groups and TEA parties.

Cassidy is uninspiring and subpar. An Establishment RINO.

GO MANESS !

Sarah Palin supports Maness.

Maness told KTVE/KARD he will be a candidate who upholds the Constitution in office.

What a concept.

[rawcatslyentist]

Maness is the ONLY one not an illuminati meat puppet!

[nickcarraway]

If he had any intention of upholding the Constitution, why would he want to be a Senator?

[catnipman]

So this guarantees that Landrieu will win, right?

Do you know how the Louisiana voting works?

The primary election is on the same day as the general election? I don't understand it.

If Maness gets 33%, Cassidy gets 33%, and Landrieu 34%, does Landrieu win?

There is ample reason for the clueless charge.

The law clearly states the claim of illegal candidacy should be submitted to the parish DA. The article states the claim was submitted to the Secretary of State.

If a candidate is going to make an accusation it should be done correctly. It can be argued the very act indicates incompetence.

At Heritage Action Scorecard, Cassidy scores 60%. To put that in perspective, John McCain got 50%, Steve Scalise got 79%, Thad Cochran got 54%, Rand Paul got 92%, Ted Cruz got 93%, and Mike Lee got 96%.

As you can see, Cassidy is far from being the conservative he claims to be. Can't really score Maness, as he doesn't have a voting record. But he was interviewed by some popular radio DJs in Louisiana that do compare Maness to a cross between Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. So if he was scored, it'll be in the 90's.

From Wikipedia:

Cassidy was first elected to the Louisiana State Senate in 2006 as a Republican. Well before entering politics, he had been a Democrat. He supported Michael Dukakis for President in 1988 and donated money to the 1992 presidential campaign of Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas.[8][9] He also donated to Louisiana Democrats Kathleen Blanco for the 2003 gubernatorial election and Mary Landrieu for her 2002 Senate campaign. In 2013, Cassidy stated that he made the donation to Landrieu before she moved to the left and said that she "got elected and fell into partisan politics... Louisiana hasn't left Mary, Mary has left us."

So the quote "Louisiana hasn't left Mary, Mary has left us." kind of tell me that Cassidy is still a democrat.
