The liberals can’t seem to believe that the people would want to throw out a democrat-like republican.

But that’s exactly WHY the people want to throw him out.

MS Ping

If anyone else wants to take over pinging these, please do. The MS Ping list is on WKB’s home page. I cut and paste it each time. But these articles are coming too fast for me to keep up. Lol

The entire political and media establishment just can’t understand why Cochran’s appeal as the guy who can shovel more money to Mississippi isn’t working. They view it as bizarre. Isn’t it a good thing that the voters of Mississippi aren’t voting to get more government spending shoveled their way? Isn’t this evidence that maybe we can put some people in Washington who will cut spending rather than stick their snouts in the trough too??? Our government and politics is so completely screwed up and rotten that its scary.

Thad Cochran: I Grew Up Doing ‘All Kinds of Indecent Things with Animals’

We’re afraid it’s more cynical than the Tea Party-preferred explanation that their values, and their virtuous, thrifty natures, prevent them from accepting this dirty money. Or that “crony capitalism” and the Export-Import Bank is really what grinds their gears about Washington. What if it’s just that they don’t think they’re getting any benefit from this money, and that whatever “spending” they’re seeing is just that from welfare bums?

In other words, don't listen to what those tea partiers are saying, listen to our made up explanation instead.

Mississippi receives the largest return on tax dollars sent to Washington, of all states...

That's what the liars at the commie rag Salon claim. It's a deliberate falsehood intended to smear one of the most consistently Conservative of all states. I know Mississippi quite well. One of my good friends from college days back in the early 1960s is from the Magnolia State. When I visit him and his family there, I'm impressed with the state's work ethic, distrust of an overreaching federal government, the kindness of the people and the full churches on Sunday morning.

Go Chris go! Go Mississippi go! Don't let the lying Yankee liberals get away with their anti-freedom lies!

If there was no deficit, Salon may have an easier sell. But we all know that the government spends more than it takes in, it doesn’t just redistribute it. People actuall know that one day, the bill will come due.

“Mississippi receives the largest return on tax dollars sent to Washington, of all states “

I thought that was Alaska....

I thought that was Texas...

I think the Libs always use this out and out LIE as a slam against any Red State...

How much of that is Katrina recovery spending, and the BP Macondo blow-out recovery spending?

Military buying ships built in Mississippi is not welfare spending you stupid commies.

“The other thing he misses, along with a lot of people who equate “earmarks” with “spending,” is that earmarks are not fresh spending. Earmarking is a means of allocating existing appropriations. Earmarks aren’t a contributor to the national debt.”

This is simply a lie, and a poor one. Earmarks are just as much a contributor to the national debt as anything else is, when the “existing appropriations” are part of a budget in deficit.

Mississippi receives the largest return on tax dollars sent to Washington,

Oh geez, not this left wing liberal lie again. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Check their definition of "tax dollars" and exclude a hell of a lot of taxes like Soc Sec and Medicare and then add those payments to the "return".
