The GOP establishment just set a new low by mimicking race card antics of left-wing activists like Al Sharpton in a desperate attempt to have Senator Thad Cochran defeat challenger Chris McDaniel in today’s Mississippi primary.
The Daily Caller reported robocalls are trying to mobilize black Democrats to support Cochran by tying McDaniel to the Tea Party and its opposition to President Obama.
In the automated message appearing to target black Democrat voters in Mississippi, the female voice on the line claims that tea party challenger Chris McDaniel would lead to more obstruction in Washington and create more “disrespectful treatment” to the nation’s first African-American president.
“The time has come to take a stand and say NO to the tea party,” the message says. “NO to their obstruction. NO to their disrespectful treatment of the first African-American president.”
The left-wing media is jumping at the opportunity to slam the Tea Party and support Cochran by raising fears of intimidating black voters.
In The New York Times editorial blog, “Scaring Away Black Voters in Mississippi,” Juliet Lapidos adds fuel to the race card fire by characterizing Tea Party poll watchers as a voter intimidation effort.
Several right-wing groups have banded together to form a “voter integrity project’ in response to the news that Republican Senator Thad Cochran is courting black Democratic voters in his runoff with the Tea partier Chris McDaniel.
The Senate Conservatives Fund, Freedom Works and the Tea Party Patriots, all political action committees, will “deploy observers in areas where Mr. Cochran is recruiting Democrats,” according to a Times article. Ken Cuccinelli, the president of the Senate Conservative Funds, said these observers would be trained to see “whether the law is being followed.

Repugnant. Revolting. The first AA "president" (spit) is actively, purposefully, deliberately ripping the fabric of our nation apart at the seams, and the GOP-e is passively going along with it. Damn them all, and damn ME if I won't be "disrespectful" about it!
I think you are saying the takers now outnumber we makers.
If so, we have already passed the point of no return.
And the only outcome left is an eventual collapse of the entire country.
I have been stocking up. I hope u have been too.
No point for me. Health issues assure that I ain’t surviving a collapse. Which isn’t making me haZ a sad.
But we are gonna collapse because not enough people want to stop it. If they did, we would not still be arguing over lesser evils. We would be fighting tooth and nail to elect conservatives ‘no matter what’ and making sure that no RINO would ever see office again.
Better an enemy at your throat than your back. Good enough for the founders, good enough for me. If some think they know more than the people that built the country they deserve our rejection and scorn.
Every right-leaning publication - including Establishment-supporting moderate ones - like the WSJ & National Review - should condemn this disgrace loudly.
I don’t believe in the Gop-e is the lessor evil story anymore, they’re as evil as the Democrats.
The GOP Base is doing this. I don’t call conservatives the “base” anymore.
Pretty bad. Rats in sheep’s clothing...
We got to a lesser America by allowing the left to spend the last century taking over our institutions and our culture. The left is the greater evil and the real problem. If you think needling the Republicans is the solution, you are mistaken.
Of course it will take actual work and time to overcome the greater evil. Being a pain in the ass to the lesser evil is easy but won’t get the job done, because the lesser evil is merely a symptom.
It is a symptom that would not be part of the equation but for those who insist on putting them into power.
If all the people who expend all this energy were to mysteriously start rejecting lesser evils instead of fantasizing that they solve anything and helping propagate them, all that effort could go toward a conservative.
Do you disagree?
As it stands now, we have two bad choices: either a pure but small and politically powerless Republican party or a more compromised Republican party that has some power. All you’re advocating is that we switch from one bad state to the other. And I suspect it would be a much worse state because it would put us on the slippery slope to irrelevance — sort of like being knocked off your horse in a race. The real answer is to hang in there and work to create the conditions that would allow the existence of a truly conservative (or at least acceptably conservative) but also powerful Republican party.
Even if those kind of people were around (and I concede that there are a few--McDaniel comes to mind), they have little chance because the GOP establishment does not subscribe to their political philosophy. Tonight's developments prove that.
“Do you not understand this HALEY??? With all your political experience???”
The Democrat is also GOPe.
>> I think there is a good lesson I this for us.
Yeah, the GOP-e is a depraved operation in bed with the Left. Period.
If Cochran wins I can only come to one, inescapable conclusion...
The American people WANT a criminal government that CONSTANTLY pisses on them. They WANT a smaller paycheck through higher taxes. They WANT their taxes to be wasted on utter nonsense. They WANT the dumbest, stupidest, most incompetent and condescending ‘leadership’ possible. They LIKE being shit on by their ‘representatives’. They actually enjoy oppression.
They keep voting for it over and over again.
Looks like it worked, if Thad Cochran paid attempt to bring the Blacks into voting for him succeeded.

OK. I understand one can’t use logic. However, how can the WAPO ‘get away with’ mentioning TC had 36 years in the Senate, still call MS a “POOR” state and supposedly asked the same people who are probably no better off than they were (other than ‘freebies) 36 years ago - as a direct result of TC?
This may be a case of McDaniel going I wouldn’t be a ‘bad’ thing. If Cochran gets back in, I can see him joining McCain, Graham etal in destroying the ‘Cruz’ faction of the R Party.
Same in SC.... What is the ‘plus’ for “US” having Graham, McCain, Cochran and those New England RINO’s? Not even sure ‘we’ can depend on them to stick to party lines on things???
“We” say it can’t be much worse BUT like a ‘drunk or junkie’, until WE scrape the bottom of the barrel, things aren’t really going to change.
We keep playing the “Lucy with the Football” game and the GOPe keeps ramming RINO’s down our throat.
I guess the GoP has now gone subversive and racial baiting. Disgusting. They are with the terrorists too? Who needs truthers?
