Vanity - Cindy Hyde-Smith, GOP, MS Senate Candidate....The "Brass Ring" victory for Trump!!!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

On Tuesday, November 27, 2018, next week, the voters in the great state of Mississippi will be voting in a "Run-Off" Election to chose a Senator for the US Senate. The Candidates are, Republican, Appointed Senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith vs. Democrat, Mike Espy, a shamed, disgraced & criminal ex-congressman.

This election is just not an ordinary run-off. It has great national implications, mainly resulting from a Hyde-Smith victory over Espy, which will insure that POTUS, DJT won a resounding victory in the 2018 Mid-Term Elections over the turmoil bound Democrat Party, who now owns the House of Representatives, one of the four branches (the weakest) of the Federal Government.

Now...the Democrat, "Fake News" Media bugles The Democrat victory in the House as the downfall and defeat of POTUS, Trump!!! In truth, that is untrue, for POTUS, Trump holds all the cards in his hand...The Senate, The Judiciary & The Executive branches. the Democrats have little, only a home to make fools of themselves.

Trump, who campaigned where it mattered to keep the control of the Senate and many Governorships of states, had massive victories across the board: Cruz, Braun, Hawley, Cramer, Blackburn, DeSantis, Wine, Scott, Ducey, Kemp, McMaster, Lee, Abbott, etc., and hopefully, Ms Hyde-Smith next week.

Trump campaign effort, defeated, Andrew Gillum, Stacey Abrams, Bill Nelson, Claire McKaskill, Joe Donnelley, Heidi Heitkamp, Beto O'Rourke, etc., the "darlings of the Democrat Party!!!

Voters in MS...all of you...I urge you, I force you, i demand of you, to turnout in massive numbers next week (Tuesday) and cast your votes for Ms. Cindy Hyde-Smith to be your next United States Senator. She has strongly supported POTUS, Trump and he will strongly support her with two (2) massive political rallies in Tupelo and Biloxi, MS, Next Monday evening, November 26, 2018...BE THERE!!!

Her glorious victory will be justified and well deserved..and, it will serve to really crown POTUS, Trump as the "King of the Hill" as the winner and mover & shaker of the 2018 Mid-Term elections.

Forget, The Google, The Hill, The Politico, The Facebook, The Axios, The Vox, The Harris, The Biden, The "Spartacus" Booker...babble & fake news jive. Espy is the same flawed failure as Andrew Gillum, Stacey Abrams, and their lead campaigners, Obama, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Joe Biden, Kamela Harris & Cory "Spartacus" Booker...all them losers as campaigners!!!

Go, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Go GOP, GOTV, Go, DJTrump. Go, Trumpa MEGA & MAGA political Rallies!!! Do it, MS voters!!!

[Drew68]

He will certainly not vote for Hyde-Smith. Quite a few Freepers aid and abet the Democrats.

We "win" by losing, doncha know?

It works like this: Defeat a candidate we agree with 90% of the time to elect a candidate we agree with 0% of the time and then 6 years down the road we'll finally get our 100% candidate!

[wardaddy]

She will win

It will be declared that Mississippi did not turn out like Alabama because the democrat was a black man..

The white woman who I am not crazy about as a GOPe annointment has been throttled by the media and this forum from the usual litany

For:

Saying she’d attend a public hanging

Wearing a grey or butternut forager cap at a museum holding a Sharps or something

This is Mississippi it’s one big battlefield basically and confederate stuff isn’t Nazi memorabilia to us quite yet like it is to many Freepers and the Left

Now they are on her again because she attended an all white prep school...

Newsflash

with few exceptions Mississippi public schools after forced busing 48 years ago were left nearly all black

Sending a lone white girl into that is insanity

Robbery and rape or worse

She’ll win and all the nastiness I’ve seen here will have once again been just for fun

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Folks...all of you good people in Mississippi this old an very true saying: “Actions Speak Louder Then Words”. Whether you love, like, dislike, hate, Ms. Cindy Hyde Smith, during her appointed term as a GOP, US Senator, she stood beside our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump and, I might add that should say it all for you!!! Support and Vote for Ms. Hyde-Smith!!!

Now, on the other hand, if you want to see the streets of USA cities burning in flames, like Paris is burning today because of failed Socialism...then by my guest and cast your vote for Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Criminal, America Hater, Black Racist, Mike Espy.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

There is only one real reason why the Republicans did not hold onto the House and add seats, which they could have easily done. Their failed leader, House Speaker, Paul (Lame Duck, Trump Hater, Useless Human Being, Traitor, Turncoat) Ryan did not lift even a “Pinky” finger to to get out and campaign hard hitting, non-stop for the House, as POTUS, Trump did with fighting for control of the Senate which he (Trump) won.

I hope that you are right, wardaddy.

But replies 8, 9, 10, and 17 ought to offend your prickliness.

Why don’t you jump down their throats for those comments, Southern Man, like you did with me for much less yesterday? You're off your paranoid game. Buck up, young man.

Maybe you can add them to your silly and never-ending profile page enemies list.

Remember again 'Sweet Home Alabama' .... where Neil Young is put in his place?

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her

Well I heard ole Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

A southern man don't need him around anyhow

You can be sure that I’m definitely NOT one of those... :^)

[trebb]

Glad to see I’m not the only one that has serious issues with the serious issues Yosemitest has..he wanted McDaniel but now seems to hope Espy wins just for spite....stupid is what stupid does, but to be fair, Yosemitest exhibits signs of immaturity and potential need for some serious medications...he’s obviously handicapped and unable to face/deal with reality. He argues that Cindy only voted with Trump 38% of the time (ignores that even that would be better than 0% of the time) while trump says she voted with him 100% of the time.....

[centurion316]

Every Freeper is entitled to an opinion, but strong disagreement is required in some cases. This attitude has been around for a long time and it has cost us a number of elections. We will always have some Hyde-Smith’s among us, but that’s the price of having a majority giving us the power to get things done. Kansas 03 elected a flaming Commie because they got tired of their version of Hyde-Smith (Yoder) in Congress. They are going to regret it.

[centurion316]

Of course, we know who they are :)

[trebb]

Agree...sometimes the smart move isn’t what one would prefer but we need to do every little bit we can to support the best President since Reagan and Trump is even better than Reagan was...he fights....bigly.

[Yosemitest]

You mind-numb robots need to get a brain, and STAND FOR YOUR PRINCIPLES, that is IF YOU HAVE ANY PRINCIPLES !

There's no way in hell I'll compromise my values.

Jack Kerwick wrote the truth in his article The Tea Partier versus The Republican

... It is this frustration with the GOP’s betrayal of the values that it affirms that accounts for why the overwhelming majority
of those who associate with or otherwise sympathize with the Tea Party movement
refuse to explicitly or formally identify with the Republican Party.
And it is this frustration that informs the Tea Partiers’ threat to create a third party
in the event that the GOP continues business as usual.

If and when those conservatives and libertarians who compose the bulk of the Tea Party, decided that the Republican establishment
has yet to learn the lessons of ’06 and ’08, choose to follow through with their promise,
they will invariably be met by Republicans with two distinct but interrelated objections.

First,
they will be told that they are utopian, “purists” foolishly holding out for an “ideal” candidate.

Second, because virtually all members of the Tea Party would have otherwise voted Republican if not for this new third party,
they will be castigated for essentially giving elections away to Democrats.


Both of these criticisms are, at best, misplaced;
at worst, they are just disingenuous.
At any rate, they are easily answerable.

Let’s begin with the argument against “purism.” To this line, two replies are in the coming.

No one, as far as I have ever been able to determine, refuses to vote for anyone who isn’t an ideal candidate.
Ideal candidates, by definition, don’t exist.
This, after all, is what makes them ideal.
This counter-objection alone suffices to expose the argument of the Anti-Purist as so much counterfeit.
But there is another consideration that militates decisively against it.

A Tea Partier who refrains from voting for a Republican candidate who shares few if any of his beliefs
can no more be accused of holding out for an ideal candidate
than can someone who refuses to marry a person with whom he has little to anything in common
be accused of holding out for an ideal spouse.
In other words, the object of the argument against purism is the most glaring of straw men:
“I will not vote for a thoroughly flawed candidate” is one thing;
“I will only vote for a perfect candidate” is something else entirely.



As for the second objection against the Tea Partier’s rejection of those Republican candidates who eschew his values and convictions,
it can be dispensed with just as effortlessly as the first.

Every election season—and at no time more so than this past season—Republicans pledge to “reform Washington,” “trim down” the federal government, and so forth.
Once, however, they get elected and they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail,
those who placed them in office are treated to one lecture after the other on the need for “compromise” and “patience.”

Well, when the Tea Partier’s impatience with establishment Republican candidates intimates a Democratic victory,
he can use this same line of reasoning against his Republican critics.
My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none, he can insist.
But in order to advance in the long run my conservative or Constitutionalist values, it may be necessary to compromise some in the short term.

For example,

as Glenn Beck once correctly noted in an interview with Katie Couric,
had John McCain been elected in 2008, it is not at all improbable that, in the final analysis,
the country would have been worse off than it is under a President Obama.
McCain would have furthered the country’s leftward drift,
but because this movement would have been slower,
and because McCain is a Republican, it is not likely that the apparent awakening that occurred under Obama would have occurred under McCain.


It may be worth it, the Tea Partier can tell Republicans, for the GOP to lose some elections if it means that conservatives—and the country—will ultimately win.

If he didn’t know it before, the Tea Partier now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.

Ironically, he can thank the Republican for impressing this so indelibly upon him.

I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.

The "Establishment Republicans",
and the DemocRAT, Cindy Hyde-Smith, PRETENDING TO BE a R.I.N.O.,
can ALL go to hell!

[centurion316]

Thanks for the report. It’s always good to hear from our own Freeper correspondent in Mississippi, a proud member of the Freepers for Mike Espey for Senate crowd.

I always vote and I never vote for a Democrat, so I have to support Hyde-Smith. Principles. Too bad that I can’t vote in this contest.

  The CREATES Act would grant relief in court for generic and biosimilar competitors seeking FDA approval. This would clear the pathway for new drugs to enter the market, drastically reducing prices through increased competition. The cost savings stemming from this legislation could reach between 15 percent and 50 percent of current prices for impacted drugs.

  Key Vote 8: Co-Sponsors of the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, S. 21

  The REINS Act would require congressional approval for economically significant rules promulgated by federal regulatory agencies. Under the REINS Act, the House and Senate would have to vote on a proposed rule and the president would have to sign it before enforcement of the rule can begin. The bill would give Congress 70 days to pass a resolution to approve a rule. If a resolution is not passed, the rule cannot take effect.

  Key Vote 10: Co-Sponsors of the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, S. 1917

  SRCA would provide a a comprehensive solution to the myriad of problems marring the federal criminal justice system by offering a three-faceted approach: front-end sentencing reform, back-end corrections reform, and a commission created to study the criminal justice system. These reforms, proven effective at the state level to reducing recidivism, lowering crime, and saving taxpayer dollars can and should be applied to the federal justice system.

  The Earmark Elimination Act would make permanent the temporary moratorium on congressional earmarks put into effect in 2010 by creating a point of order against any provision within a bill that matches the definition of an earmark, and when raised would be stricken absent a two-thirds majority to override. Should Leader McConnell bring this bill to the floor, FreedomWorks will substitute the cosponsor key vote for the roll call vote.

  Between his time as an aviator in the United States Navy, his firsthand experience serving as the executive director of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium, and his work in Congress, Bridenstine is extraordinarily qualified for the role of NASA administrator. In this role at NASA, Bridenstine will have the ability to bring much-needed reform to the agency, implementing the same principles of free markets and government efficiency that he tirelessly fought for in Congress. Serving on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Bridenstine became a champion of issues pertaining to air and space exploration.

  The passage of this CRA would do nothing to change the prohibition against discrimination in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that the guidance cites. It would simply roll back the gross regulatory overreach of the CFPB in claiming for itself -- behind closed doors and a screen of smoke -- a power that Congress, in the law that created the CFPB, explicitly banned the CFPB from having. As Sen. Moran said, the CFPB “had to work its magic to find a way to regulate auto dealers.” Good governing is done through accountable and transparent processes, not magic.

  S.J.Res. 52 would undo the Restoring Internet Freedom Order and reinstate the Obama administration’s Internet red tape. This will hurt tech companies, as well as consumers. Internet access is becoming vital to commerce, and many Americans still lack connectivity.

  Roll Call 99Array

  Sen. Paul’s resolution would balance the federal budget in five years by assuming the repeal of the 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act and from there cutting total outlays by one penny for every dollar spent, continuing for the next five years. At this point, the budget would be fully balanced and spending would be allowed to grow at one percent thereafter. Doing so would reduce spending by $404.8 billion in fiscal year 2019 and by $13.35 trillion over ten years relative to the baseline under current law.

  Roll Call 123Array

  Sen. Toomey’s amendment would apply the principles of the REINS Act to CFIUS to make sure Congress has a final say on these regulations. This will mean that only regulations that try to address truly predatory behavior will pass, while those that are unnecessary and anti-market will be stopped from taking effect. This was the intent of Congress when it authorized CFIUS and it should not abandon its ability to set policy in this way. Sen. Toomey’s amendment gives Congress this oversight.

  Roll Call 134Array

  Approving this initial $15 billion rescissions request in full -- pulling back funds sitting in useless accounts that can only otherwise be used to spend more in the future -- is a task that conservatives in Congress should wholeheartedly endorse. It is one of few opportunities to exercise any semblance of fiscal discipline. It is only one small step towards actually tackling Washington’s out-of-control spending addiction, but it represents a chance to begin this fight.

  The Lee Amendment ensures that if the government wishes to making any such detention, that it have clear authorization to do so. The entire text of the Lee Amendment is consistent with the Constitution and with the prior Supreme Court cases that govern this issue. This amendment is narrow in scope, and will not hinder our counterterrorism efforts. This is merely to strengthen American citizens’ constitutional protections. The motion to table would kill this important provision.

  Key Vote 22: On the Motion to Table Lee-Cruz Amendment to the Farm Bill, H.R. 2

  Roll Call 141Array

  This amendment would add work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The Senate stripped out this pro-work provision from their version of the Farm Bill. Work requirements are important for helping people rise out of welfare and becoming independent of government assistance. A vote to table the Lee-Cruz Amendment would prevent them from being added back in to the Senate text.

  "Nay" votes scored.

  The motion to instruct simply states: “[M]anagers on the part of the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill H.R. 5895 be instructed to include language providing a role for Congress in making a determination under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862).” The administration has misused Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act to unilaterally impose tariffs – which are taxes – for purposes unrelated to national security. These tariffs threaten American consumers with higher prices and American businesses with retaliatory tariffs imposed by our trading partners.

• 24: On Passage of the Farm Bill, H.R. 2✘ Yea

  Key Vote 24: On Passage of the Farm Bill, H.R. 2

  Roll Call 143Array

  This bill makes no effort to reduce dependence on subsidies from the federal government. These subsidies tend to prop up particular crops at the expense of others. Under the last Farm Bill, 94 percent of subsidies went to only six crops. However, those six crops only accounted for 28 percent of production. This is not to mention the fact that one-third of subsidies would go to “farmers” who have a median net worth of $3.8 million. The Farm Bill is one of our nations clearest examples of cronyism for special interests, and the version produced by the Senate continues that tradition, with no attempt at reform.

  Roll Call 171Array

  This amendment, sponsored by sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) would reduce appropriations in the minibus by 11.39% across the board. This would result in cuts of $17.5 billion and would bring spending in line with the budget caps in place before passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act. Given that we are rapidly approaching a trillion dollar deficit, this is a necessary step to reining in government spending.

  Roll Call 173S. 1182

  The amendment would provide for a clean reauthorization without reforms, despite consistent efforts by fiscally-conscious members to modify the program, which is over $20 billion in debt. This is more of the same pattern seen all too often in Congress -- Leadership unwilling to support even the most modest reforms to fiscally irresponsible, flawed programs. With NFIP, only 3 of the 41 reauthorizations in the past 20 years have included any reforms.

  When it comes more broadly to the rampant expansion of the unconstitutional regulatory state, Judge Kavanaugh is perhaps second to none in standing up for the Constitution. According to Kavanaugh, if Congress hasn’t yet opined on a matter of deep economic significance, any regulation relating to that matter should be presumed unconstitutional. He recognizes that lawmaking, under Article I of the Constitution, was delegated to Congress, not unelected executive branch bureaucrats.

  H.R. 6157 is more of the same profligate spending resulting from a broken budget process and members unwilling to stand up for their campaign promises of shrinking government and reducing spending. The bill appropriates $33 billion more for Defense than the FY 2018 omnibus and $16 billion more for Labor/HHS. It also includes a CR until December 7, setting up votes on a spending package during the lame-duck session that will almost certainly be packed with last-minute giveaways to special interests.

Groups Scoring Cindy Hyde-Smith Show Votes More in Line With Liberals Than Conservatives.

"In office less than two months, Cindy Hyde-Smith has already been given failing grades by two major conservative groups.

NumbersUSA, a watchdog group seeking to stop illegal immigration, gave Cindy Hyde-Smith a failing grade of just 25%. By comparison, the same organization gave liberal Senator Bernie Sanders the same failing grade at 24%, as well as Mississippi Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson at 22%, making Cindy Hyde-Smith nearly aligned ideologically on immigration with Mississippi’s only Democrat in Congress and the socialist Senator from Vermont. Conservative Senator Ted Cruz scored a 96%. ...

Mark Levin’s Conservative Review rates elected officials on a variety of issues like the budget, spending, the national debt, taxes, the economy, trade, education, foreign policy and defense. In the less-than-two months that Cindy Hyde-Smith has been in office, her Conservative Review score is 50% – another failing grade. ..."

Do NOT forget :

"... In 2008 when Hillary ran for President against Barack Obama, in a barnburner of a campaign that went down to the wire, Cindy Hyde-Smith, the “lifelong conservative,” supported Hillary.
That’s because she was a Democrat, only switching parties in 2010 to run for statewide office.
She has also been dishonest about it during the campaign. ...

... Lifelong conservatives don’t support Hillary Clinton. Period.

Of course, we do know where Cindy Hyde-Smith is very much like Hillary Rodham Clinton:
Her PAC was handed $250,000 by one of Hillary’s top fundraisers
and she has supported gun control efforts in the past,
which is a signature issue for the Clintons.

... there are major issues she left out, probably on purpose.
There is no mention of illegal aliens, amnesty, ICE, or the border wall.
Immigration is the single biggest issue of our time.
Fail to reform it and it’s all over.
Furthermore, there was no mention of Trump’s trade policy, entitlement reform, or structural reform within the federal government, like scaling back the out-of-control judiciary, abolishing the Department of Education, or instituting term limits for Congress.

Did she not want to anger the US Chamber ?
Is that why these issues were left off the table ?
With millions of dollars in ads coming from the Chamber for her campaign, you bet she doesn’t want to anger them.
She’s their girl.

... She has no plan to balance the budget, reduce regulations, or grow the economy, issues you will find in Chris McDaniel’s “Contract with Mississippi.”
He boldly signed onto Rand Paul’s “penny plan” and spelled out his ideas on other major issues facing Mississippi and the nation.
McDaniel doesn’t care if the Chamber hates him.
He’s for the people of Mississippi.

But not Cindy Hyde-Smith.
She not only voted against the “penny plan” to balance the budget,
she ridiculed it, siding with the Establishment in denouncing it as a political stunt and sideshow.
This is the same silly rhetoric we heard from Thad Cochran.
If Cindy Hyde-Smith can’t agree to cut one percent from the federal budget every year until it is balanced,
then she is not serious about balancing the budget.

Say what you will, but the facts are beyond dispute.
Chris McDaniel was the only true conservative in the special election for US Senate
and the only one willing to stand up for real solutions to real problems.
He’s for Mississippi,
not the Chamber of Commerce. ..."

Jack Kerwick said it best:

"... Well, when the Tea Partier’s impatience with establishment Republican candidates intimates a Democratic victory,
