John McCain: Cochran's Tactics against Tea Party in MS Worth Emulating

One week after traveling to Mississippi to do his utmost to help Senator Thad Cochran (R) beat Tea Party rival Chris McDaniel, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) talked about the strengths he saw in Cochran's approach to campaigning.

According to AZ Central, McCain dismissed criticism over the tactics the Republican Establishment used to get black Democrats to cross over and vote for Cochran.

Said McCain, "There are some people complaining that African-American voters voted. [But] I thought one of the major priorities of the Republican Party was to get all minority and ethnic voters out to vote for Republicans."

Yes, reminds one of a certain Senator Spector and his shift to "get re-elected". That did not work out for him.

Could the same could happen for other RINOs in Novemeber mid-terms?

If getting minorities to vote GOP is a major priority....it’s hard to think of anything more stupid than that.

McCain will only be able to get card carrying members of La Raza to vote for him in the 2016 senate primary. I don’t even know if white liberals will cross to vote for him with his war mongering.

“How the hell does he keep getting re-elected by the good people of Arizona!?”

Arizona has open primaries as well. Open primaries are nothing more than a security system for the old Democrats who switched to Republican to keep true conservatives from getting into their Democrat game.

‘How the hell does he keep getting re-elected by the good people of Arizona!?’

Good question and one that begs an answer. I wouldn’t describe the AZ electorate as ‘good’ though. A more apt description would be apathetic, corrupt and willing to lie and be lied to. Change doesn’t come out of DC it comes from our communities. If they’re corrupt what do you expect from DC? We’re the problem not Them.

He definitely sustained some “dainbramage” somewhere along the way. It is a common condition among liberals and RINOs. Seems to be a lot of that going around in Washington.

Really, John, the vote buying too?

You’re damned lucky you chose Sarah as your running mate because otherwise your defeat would have been epic.

So all Republican candidates need to start shelling out $15 for votes?

With Democrats they have been shelling out much more than that for most of my life.

This bum was never a war hero, he was a crappy pilot who was permitted to keep flying because his father was the Admiral in charge. He got captured because he was an incompetent pilot. Bum.

Bingo! He has been incompetent at everything he has ever done. If it weren't for who is father and grandfather were he would be serving Slurpees at 7-11 instead of ruining this country.

If this report is true, McCain is still a ‘loose cannon’.

John McCain is a member of the KKK and it is well known he is a racist that wants blacks and Hispanics in slave chains.

How’s that John?

He got captured because he was an incompetent pilot. Bum.

Your first statement is correct; and for contrast, his father was a WWII military leader America could be proud of.

You second statement suggests that capture is the result of crappy flying and out of respect for all the good pilots who have been captured by America's enemies, you probably didn't mean that. But, we can say his shoot-down resulted in a lucky NVN gunner winning a bicycle.
