Ping.
Bump
The heat is on.
Man what a pile of dung. I’ll bet no one involved ever, ever, thought they’d be caught.
This all is no surprise to any of us, but at the same time it’s a bit shocking, and pleasing, to actually see names attached.
Bump to expose ongoing disgusting behavior.
All of these people are dirty and I hope they are tarred and feathered and run out of town.
The plot....she thickens! LOL!
Followed a link from the article concerning another 'player' in this mess. Mitzi Bickers.
And, apparently, for Thad Cochran. Federal Election Commission reports indicate that the Mississippi Conservatives PAC paid The Bickers Group $25,000 last week for “GOTV phone services” — even though, according to the Georgia secretary of state’s website, The Bickers Group dissolved in September 2012.

Kinda makes you go hmmm....
All he has to do is change is party affiliation to “Democrat” and the news media will forget this ever happened.
In it’s base for, what this makes crystal clear is that this was entirely a Karl Rove and Haley Barbour operation. They slimmed us with the most ugly racist ads and robocalls. They deliberately set out to exploit the caricature of “racist Republicans”, i. e., Conservatives.
I believe Rove and Barbour saw this Mississippi race as the firewall wherein they had to pull out all the stops, after the Cantor loss, to halt the advance of the Tea Party.
Of course they never fight this hard or this dirty against any Democrat in a General election. They HATE the Conservative base, they long to reach across the aisle and be bipartisan in any General election.
Fascinating report. I was amazed at how many donors, not only to the “Mississppi Conservatives” group but to the RNCC etc., also contribute to the Dems or to individual Dem Senators. And we’re talking big donations, not $25 here and there.
I suppose there’s a strategy there, but it’s hard to see what it is.
I have always been a loyal Republican Party backer, and have unlike some of the Republican haters here always thought that the Party has to be something of a Reagan era-like broad tent to win elections, but I find this whole episode utterly appalling. In an environment where we have a Marxist in the White House and the left wing propaganda media slandering Republicans as racists every single day, how can the party establishment think it can be a good idea to participate in this kind of vile slander. Color as edging to the Tea Party side here.
a back of envelope says these biz people who need crony deals from government gave 325,000 to this one PAC. Not much when you think of all that was spent in MS but if 20,000 was used for the anti-republican ads and mailing then they sure are shady folks for being true conservatives
It looks like the article has been pulled. Do you have another link??
The page referenced at The American Spectator does not exist!
When the dust finally settles, regardless of who gets sworn in as the senator in January the Mississippi GOP establishment have ripped the Republican party in that state to shreds. I cannot see how this rift will ever be repaired and the civil war will continue until one side finishes off the other.
PAGE NOT FOUND..!!!

This is not about Barbour or Mississippi, this is further proof that there really is a Uniparty.
