People kining up for Mc Daniel seems to be trying to paint Cochran as some kind of Liberal. The facts are Cochran has a consistent Conservative record. He and the Barbour Machine new the Rules and played by the rules. Mc Daniel sounds like a sore loser.
They did not play by the rules. They clearly smeared a supposed fellow republican as a racist and then they actively sought democratic votes from democratic voters based on that smear job.
Do you approve of the above as being part of the rules?
They actively published media that stated McDaniel would OPPOSE Barack Obama if elected. They appealed to black voters based on that to get out to vote for Cochran.
That is a democratic party appeal to a democratic party base.
Do you approve of that as being part of the rules?
“consistent conservative record” really, Name me one, ONE bill that thad authored in his 42 years to show this, all he ever did was go along to get along and get some pork for Mississippi.
And please tel me where all this “Pork” has gone, where has it helped, still last in education, jobs, income.
Get real.
And I will go as far as to agree with you that, yes, Thad has done some good things for Mississippi in his 42 yrs, and is to be commended for that.
But we both know Thad wanted to retire, but he either had something held over him,or was just smooth talked into running.
Just think of the legacy this man could have left, stepping aside after his primary “Defeat”, and standing at a podium endorsing the new Mississippi senator and throwing all of his support and weight behind Chris.
Using the race card to smear Mr. McDaniel is not “playing by the rules”.
I don’t see a sore loser here, I see the dirtiest of tricks, a smear and the Republican party machine using the worst Democrat tactic of all.
He doesn’t have to a liberal. It’s enough that he, like the rest of the GOP, only pulls out the dirty tricks and hard fight when they’re opposing a conservative, but it’s all “my friend on the other side of the aisle” when it comes to America’s enemies.
