Canada Free Press ^ | 6/25/14 | Neil McCabe

The win of Sen. W. Thad Cochran over state Sen. Christopher B. McDaniel in the June 24 GOP Mississippi Senate Primary runoff by less than 5,000 votes is a pyrrhic victory for the Republican establishment.

I agree. States need to dump the open primaries. It is making a mess of picking the two most viable candidates to represent the two parties.

Write in Chris McDaneil. We need to take a stand. I truly hope he runs a write in campaign, if for anything just to teach the establishment a lesson.

I think you are wrong about third parties. UKIP seems to be doing ok, even if it took them 20 years.

I'm willing to destroy the liberal GOP and try out that theory.

Listen up.

BOTH parties are communists now.

Is that difficult for you to understand?

We don’t need a third party.

We need a SECOND party.

In 2008 Obama and Hillary were neck in neck in the primaries but after Super Tues it was clear that whites much preferred Hillary. When she won TX, OH, and then PA, panic set in. By May BO had to win either the IN or NC primary or the super delegates would begin to abandon him. He lost IN, but won NC because enough Republicans didn’t strategically vote for Hillary in the NC primary. I lived in NC and was tempted, but chose not to. I regret that now.

There would be a ballot for Republicans, a ballot for Democrats, and a ballot listing both parties for Independents.

Then everyone would register as Independents to keep their options open and then you have an open primary again.

I think letting each party decide which registered voters they will accept would be better. Like the Republicans accepting both Republican and Independents but not Democrats.

You believe that destroying the liberal GOP will finish off the USA?

No.

I believe that destroying the GOP will finish off the USA. Acknowledge the difference.

There is no difference. Not after yesterday. The national GOP chased democrat voters to get their liberal candidate the nomination.

No difference. The GOP is liberal.

Listen up.

ANY elected official that you like is NOT a democrat nor an independent, nor any "third party".

Prove me wrong.

As the Thad Cochran campaign rallied democrats to vote for him indicates that open primaries are the politicians legal way to commit vote fraud

Both candidates for this senate seat:

Support Obamacare

Support Amnesty

Will vote for ‘reasonable’ gun control (Mike Bloomberg doesn’t waste 250K like that without ‘expectations’)

Have voted to fund Planned Barrenhood

Support Big Federal Education (Commie Core)

etc.

Clearly MSGOP supports all those things. I’m not seeing a difference between MSGOP and MSDEM. Help me out here...

Yeah, and I think he is the one that is shacked up with his chief of staff or some such. Well, he says he rents her basement to live in but she travels with him every where he goes. First class all the way.

As the saying goes ... boy howdy is it!

Even MORE important than this Primary? And no I do NOT care who the Dims are running, is can we ensure Thad’s defeat in November. If we do not, then the GOPe will know with assurity that they can do what we want to us because we ALWAYS fall in line.

In short, are we going to bend over and beg for another from the GOPe?

Even Bill Clinton didn’t attend public functions with his other women. Much less live openly with them.

No they aren’t. We Conservatives are in the minority and ALWAYS will be if we STILL vote for ANY GOPe after this. They are counting on us to say just what you said and do what you are suggesting. We are like the abused wife that keeps going back, too afraid to leave.

A price needs to be exacted for the sleazy behavior that is coming to light.

What might you suggest. Since the GOP-e was behind the sleazy behavior and they won the election, what motivation do they have to extract anything? They will not contest the results. I'm not being provocative. I just don't see what can be done.

This would be interesting. It worked for Mulcowski (or however you spell it) in Alaska.

If nothing else it would "out" the GOP-e as to where they stand politically. Fun to watch.
