McDaniel talked more about cutting spending and hardly at all about Taxed Enough Already. The TEA message is highly effective with huge portion of voters. Cutting spending is not. If one wants to play the hard game of politics, one must use the most effective tools.
If Conservative candidate like McDaniel can’t win in Mississippi with cut the spending message, better change the message fast or else be relegated to defeats and irrelevance.
he lost because the GOP and Democrat establishments squashed him
The message wasn’t the problem
It may well be that cutting spending as such is not the message needed in Mississippi. I would agree that Taxed Enough Already always makes a lot more sense politically. OTOH, these are mere money issues.
Finding each and every vote cast or word uttered by the farm animal molester that gave aid and comfort to Obozo works even better, or to Romney, Wall Street, K Street, and/or Haley Boss Hog Barbour, for that matter.
I believe it was FReeper C. Edmund Wright who posted the numbers from Mississippi last night. IIRC, McDaniel lost by about 6,000 votes and labor and black leaders delivered about 35,000 DEMONRAT votes to re-nominate the farm animal, ummmm, lover and slave of $$$$ interests.
Effective tools in politics in Mississippi???
1. Name one, just one, effective and memorable attack upon Obozo or his policies made by Thad Cochran who has had six years in the House and 36 in the Senate to practice his partisan rhetoric? An opponent like McDaniel should have taken Mississippi down memory lane on this one. Speaking of memory, Cochran looks like he doesn't remember winning yesterday because his mind is on permanent vacation.
2. Does Cochran even remotely understand modern military technology or does he satisfy himself and his corporate masters to just blindly appropriate maximum (and possibly redundant) megabucks and call his efforts "national defense?"
3. What did Cochran and his 42 years of seniority achieve and DO in resisting the Obozo NSA wiretapping program, wiretapping political opponents, members of press and media, and just plain Joe Citizen????
4. What did Cochran etc., DO to resist Common Core destruction of schools????
5. What did Cochran etc., DO to rein in fedcourts in his 42 years in D.C.????
6. Other than run his mouth occasionally, what did Cochran etc., DO to effectively resist Obozocare????
7. What did Cochran etc., DO to resist the appointments of Sotomayor and Kagan and others of their anticonstitutional ilk to SCOTUS and other federal courts????
8. What did Cochran etc., DO to resist Obozo's current campaign of rule by decree????
9. to infinity: Gun grabbing, babies, marriage, fudge-packing posing as "marriage," foreign aid, TARP and other Wall Street "bailouts," soaring energy prices, drill never, Vets dying of neglect at VA Hospitals, Utterly cowardly and feckless foreign policy, Fast and Furious, Lois Lerner, moving every person from South of our border capable of voting Demonrat into our nation at our expense while absolutely refusing to enforce immigration laws, etc., etc., etc.
More available on request. Any American not thoroughly furious and outraged by Obozo, Romney, Congressional Leaders of BOTH parties is no longer among the intellectually living.
