Rush Limbaugh Explodes on ‘Corrupt’ GOP for Employing ‘Reprehensible’ Tactic Against Tea Party
TheBlaze ^ | 6-25-14 | Jason Howerton

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was fired up on Wednesday following Sen. Thad Cochran’s controversial victory over tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel in Mississippi on Thursday. Cochran reached out to traditionally Democratic voters – blacks and union members – in a last-ditch effort to beat McDaniel.

“The Republican establishment sought victory via Democrat voters in the runoff, and they got them. Without the African-American vote from Democrat-leaning counties, Thad Cochrane would have lost by eight or nine percent last night,” Limbaugh said, calling the tactic “reprehensible.”

Limbaugh cited a flyer, posted by journalist Charles Johnson that suggested McDaniel and the tea party wanted to prevent blacks from voting in the Mississippi runoff election on Tuesday. Cochran’s critics allege the longtime senator’s campaign was behind the flyers.

How is this really a win? It’s STUPID.

Whether Cochran or the Dem wins does not matter to them. The GOPe is aligned with the Left and now are showing their hand. They do not care if we see they are actual leftists as they now think our Country is so far down the Fascist track that it no longer matters if their facade has crumbled.

This is a terrible thing to say, but SO WHAT? Rush or whoever is angry.

What will they DO about it?

Idaho Republicans aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree, even by Stupid Party standards. But at least they had the good sense to tell the state GOP-E to stuff it and closed their primaries. Despite the whining of our "governor" and Secretary of State, voter turnout in the 2012 primaries was higher than in 2008, and for a change, it was only Republicans voting!

Any state Republican party that doesn't push for closed primaries is well deserving of the "Stupid Party" moniker.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

But, in the final vote, the Dems will win because those who voted for Cochran will switch back, right? ...
