SENATE CANDIDATE CHRIS MCDANIEL FIRES UP CROWD AT FREEPAC

Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel laid out the national case for grassroots conservatism in a speech that fired up the crowd at the FreedomWorks-sponsored FreePAC Kentucky event on Saturday.

“We’re fighting, and so it begins again,” McDaniel opened his ten-minute speech. “One last great stand for liberty. One last great stand for our Constitution. We dare not disappoint. There’s too much at stake. Our country’s too great to lose and I will not tell my children one day about a once-great Republic that we were unable to save. We will not witness the managed decline of this Republic. We will witness its revival. We will witness its resurrection.”

McDaniel’s speech took place before about 2,000 Tea Party activists in Louisville, Kentucky, a couple states over from Mississippi where he is challenging U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) in the June 3 GOP primary. The contest has become a national battleground between the establishment and the conservative grassroots. Two months out, polling data shows them in a dead heat.

Cochran is wrapping up his sixth term in the United States Senate, and has served in Congress for 42 years. He is closely allied with former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, now a lobbyist and outspoken representative of the Republican establishment.

Cochran has already made major unforced errors in the campaign, including twice stating he doesn't really know what Tea Party movement—a five year old political grassroots surge that swept Republicans into control of the House in 2010—is. And his ordinary pitch to voters that he has brought home the bacon – Cochran has more federal buildings in Mississippi named after himself than any current member of Congress – is out of style.

McDaniel is a two-term state senator in Mississippi mounting a grassroots-focused challenge to Cochran...

“We stand here today in defense of that early and original American revolution,” McDaniel said. “What they brought us, what they brought you, was something unprecedented in all of American history—or for that matter, all of world history. They simply did not change the leading cast of characters, replacing one king with another for example, or replacing a king with an oligarchy. They changed your role in your government: they work for you, not the other way around. And yet in Washington, D.C., they have created a political aristocracy. They no longer listen. They have forgotten who they work for. We go to remind them again, and we’re going to remind them again, that’s our obligation. That’s our duty of this generation and we will win this fight, I promise you.”

Damn straight. The first battle to be won is against the power structure of our own party, make no mistake.

“History is going to record this one great battle of ideas,” McDaniel said. “This is the fight of my generation. This is the fight of your generation, and we shall go on to the end. We’ll fight them in academia. We’ll fight them in the universities. We’ll fight them in the halls of Congress. We’ll fight them in the state Capitols. We’ll fight them in the hills if we have to, but we are not going to surrender our country. It will record that Mississippi stood tall. It will record that Kentucky stood tall. It will record that Texas and Utah stood tall. We’re going to change this country one senator at time, one House member at a time, but only if you engage the system.”

Charge!

Winning “control” of the Senate isn’t simply getting to 51 Pubbies. If McConnell & Co. stay running the show, we will see nothing done for two years and then the RATS will retake the Senate (because the GOP will have to defend twice as many seats as the RATs, (24 vs.11)), which with Hitlary as president will be the final nails in the country’s coffin. In all of my considerable years, I have never seen such a spineless bunch in the GOPe. The Tea Party needs to start trashing the likely GOPe presidential candidates today. No Jeb, No Fat Boy. The only thing the GOPe hasn’t started yet is a “Draft Arnold” meme.

And no Rand Paul. He’s so in love with Mitch McConnell, he’d prolly make Mitch the next Secretary of State if he got into the Oval Office.
