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.
“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”
Yes.
The local media nearly died laughing when my congressman promised that he wouldn’t bring a lot of pork to the district back in 2010. They were sure he couldn’t win....till he won.
It was really a very simple message. We need to produce our revenue locally and we need to keep it away from Washington so we can decide what to do with it.
They remind me of that muslim kid who could not understand why I would reject the joys of manlove.
