I like your explanation of how you plan to vote and why, it finally clicked all the pieces into place for me. I am going to follow your lead here. I don’t believe I could live with myself if Childers’ vote was needed for another CommieCare-style travesty, and he succumbed and voted for it, and I had voted to enable that. I already know without a doubt that I can’t vote for Cochran-that has been clear from the get-go. The actions of Cochran and his machine were just too evil. That leaves only one way to go if I’m going to vote at all, and you explained very coherently.
Vote for the Dim in this race just to get rid of Thad...
But DONT make the mistake that the Dim is ANYTHING other than a socialist prick.
Just be ready to beat him in 6 years.
After the major, central betrayal of conservatives by our purported “representatives”, who would possibly place any faith in a promise from them? Especially one to not do, that which was the reason for the betrayal in the first place?
It is to be expected that those who benefit from the current rules would oppose changing them. However, they must be elected to their offices to have the power to control the rules. My point is that while conservatives clearly demonstrated the numbers to win in a republican only contest, we were defeated by a flawed system that allowed democrats to cross over in the runoff. We can now allow our disappointment and anger to cause us to play into the hands of our opponents or we can work at the local and state level to get people in the legislature and party offices who will change the rules. The old line party leaders are not going to willingly give up power nor are they going to be defeated easily. It is going to take hard work and a well thought out strategy. While a protest may give a temporary feeling of satisfaction, it will not change the system. We have to be smarter than them and quit allowing them to goad us into making decision against our interest.
Given that the future is generally murky, I'd hate to have Cochran as my representative or as one of the State's representatives.
I find it difficult to believe that the Miss. GOPe would appoint Chris McDaniel. I believe that he is last on their long list.
I wish I had a vote in this. Childers really is the only alternative. Anything else rewards criminal acts and reinforces the world view of the establishment republicrats.
Cochran is living in open adultery. Even Bill Clinton didn’t do such a thing. I can not vote for such a person regardless of their political affiliation.
Thanks, WKB. There’s LOTS of us. For even more encouragement, read that column linked in mine from the MS Conservative Daily. It’s excellent.
At least you admit that you are stupid and spiteful.
Good luck with them, thar sizzors...
Don’t vote for harry reid.
Can’t wait. I will snap you pic of my ballot and post here next Tuesday morning for your viewing pleasure
theres no such thing as a Conservative democrat

Apparently you never lived in the South anytime before 1970. We were all Conservative Democrats. But, as Ronald Reagan said: “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; they left me.” Today, duffee, John Kennedy would be a right-wing extremist in the eyes of Democrats. Yes, there is such an animal as a Conservative Democrat.... but, they are a dying breed from another generation before me.
Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour raped the Conservative voters of Mississippi and the entire sacred right of voting. Would you guys vote for a neighborhood child molester who was raping little children just because the other child molester in the neighborhood has been doing it for a longer time? If you can’t vote for Childers, that’s fine, but at least allow your Conservative conscience and principles to guide you to just skip the Senate Race on the ballot or write-in Chris McDaniel, even though it won’t count. That way, you are not enabling Cochran or Childers and on November 5th, regardless of what happens, you can look at yourself in the mirror with no regrets.
I take it you don’t live in Mississippi, and I take it that you are clueless of the massive outrage of MS conservatives at what happened here. I would also guess you don’t know the extent of the likely criminal activity of the Cochran camp and the detestable things they said about us.
Your spiteful sentiments toward us can be disregarded, because of your ignorance of our situation.
Cochran is not on “our side” so voting for him is stupid.
Voting RINO is more like cutting off your nose than anything else.
Right, Geron. Cochran is NOT a conservative!
I honestly cant even imagine the twists of logic necessary to compare voting out a man who PARTNERED with DEMOCRATS to commit VOTE FRAUD during a REPUBLICAN PRIMARY that he was going to LOSE to a conservative?!
Vote for the Dim in this case or write in McDaniels name instead! Just make sure that bastard dies alone and jobless in the same facility he abandoned his wife to.
I certainly hope someone is keeping a list of Names/ IP’s of the OBVIOUS GOPe minions. Not only is a purge of the GOP needed but one is needed right here on FR.
That’s my plan. No vote for Cochran or for Childers.
