MO GOP Chair Calls for RNC Investigation of ‘Racial Divisive’ Thad Cochran Campaign Tactics
Dallas Daily Digest ^ | July 11, 2014 | Agreggated News

On Friday’s broadcast of Laura Ingraham’s radio show, Missouri Republican Party chairman Ed Martin explained his decision to take an outspoken role in criticizing the alleged tactics of some Republicans in Mississippi behind an effort to get Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) his party’s nomination over State Sen. Chris McDaniel last month.

Martin pointed to the racial components of Cochran’s tactics and argued the GOP could not be the “party of Lincoln” having implemented such tactics.

“[I] actually didn’t follow as closely as others – the McDaniel-Cochran, all the details,” Martin said. “But when I saw the coverage and listened to the audio of the robocalls and the ads that were run and paid for by Republicans and prominent Republicans, I was outraged. I mean, we can’t be the party of Lincoln if we think it’s OK to do this kind of racial divisive stuff. So my point is – I’m on the RNC. I’m one of 168 members. We’re charged with being the national body of the Republican Party and my objection to my fellow members was we can’t stand for this. If it was one of our people that did it – Republican, prominent or not, they should be held accountable

Good to see the facts and reality hitting the membership of the RNC, and good to see persons of principle standing up for what's right.

Pleasant surprise to see a party chair standing up against the GOPe. He needs to be the National Chair.

The whole RNC establishment is in on it. And those expecting the RNC under Priebus to 'investigate' the MS GOP are naive in the extreme.

"Indeed, back in 2011 this story in Politico discussing Priebus’s relationship said that Barbour was “central to Priebus's bid” to be elected RNC chairman."

When the GOPe comes calling for a contribution I always tell them that I already did.

When they ask where and when I sent the check I always tell them the date, check number and give them the address of the Tea Party Patriots.

A silence follows and I hang up.
