This is why Cochran should be removed: his voting record, which isn’t at all conservative.

Cochran (MS) - 06/03/14 - 46% (Average) - 53% (Heritage) - 48% (CFG) - 52% (ACU) - 29% (FreedomWorks)

Cochran (MS) - 06/03/14 - 43% (Average) - 53% (Heritage) - 48% (CFG) - 29% (FreedomWorks)

He voted against Obamacare, like every other Republican, then he refused to vote to defund it.

What progress on protecting the Constitution has Cochran made in the last 30 years?

So... he's got the "speak softly" part down, but where is the "carry a big stick" part?

It doesn't matter if he speaks the right things, if he can't get others to listen.

The GOPe is rallying to the defense of GOPe politicians in their quest to keep conservatives in the minority of the Republican Congressional caucus The GOPe’s grip on power is weakening from the Tea Party onslaught—and they know it. Let’s keep the pressure on these GOPe desperadoes.

Totally lame reasoning.

"Cochran is a nice guy and has been there for a long time."

Totally NOT in keeping with preserving the Union. We are in trouble here and this guy is part of the problem.

Good grief. Thad is way past his expiration date. Poster boy for term limits.

“Wow, that resembles Mitch McConnell and Cornyn’s records...”

McConnell and Cornyn’s voting records are better than Cochran.

I just read his conservative ratings in votesmart.org. You’re right they aren’t that good. He’s not to good on gun rights either and he kind of was waffling in the right to life issues. You’re right 36 years is long enough, but that is for the citizen of Mississippi to decide, not me, or anyone else who is not from MS

The jerk has NEVER answered any letter or email that I have EVER sent to him... and I have been writing to him for years. He doesn’t live in Mississippi... oh he has a home here but he spends his off time in the resort of Orange Beach, AL. Guess where he will retire to?
