Can't post Gannett material per their copyright complaint, but according to this article, it appears that the Cochran campaign is claiming they were only paying the get out the vote workers (in cash) and were not directly buying votes.

So they admit handing out green-money-cash?

Oh boy. There are laws against that too.

Were their workers required to buy 0bamacare? Pay Taxes? Withholding? Social Security? Independent Contractors on 1099s?

Vote buying or not there is still no excuse for the manner in which this disgusting slug conducted his runoff campaign.

So they admit the money came from them and that the vote-buying did take place.

Whether or not these charges are true we already know it was a slimy election and its the illegal Democrat primary voters showing up in the Republican runoff that appear to hold the greatest promise for having the election thrown out-discrediting it..

Looks like to me pretty much everything we've been hearing since yesterday is true and the bastards are caught red handed with them admitting this.

Can't even call this a weak attempt at denial, total fail.

The fix was in and nothing will change the outcome. The communists criminals are running the show and they will soon own America. One State just found out how powerful they are.

The $15 envelopes.

Who prepared those envelopes? Who oversaw the preparation of the envelopes? Where did people sign in that they received cash?

Lot of questions...

Can we shoot first and ask questions later? Or …we don’t even bother with the questions.

McDaniel, ya gotta keep digging. Once cash is afoot....follow the money!!! That money, it appears, was laundered to buy votes!!! I can assure you, you will get some feedback from the Obamabot, Democrat, druggies....they’d vote for Satan for fifteen bucks!!! Offer them another fifteen bucks to rat out the Cochran low life!!! This run-off election was stolen by the Republican Establishment and Democrat thugs and criminals.

Saying that they were only paying to get out voters is almost the same excuse in which the liberals use when they are caught red-handed in wrong doing. It’s the establishment mentality. I hope McDaniel follows legal action for a run off. He has most common sense supporters behind him.

Cockroach also denied that he had admitted to doing “indecent things” to animals. But I believe him now!

Everyone please take note of JR’s skillful summary of the article.

THAT’s how it’s done when it can’t be posted.
