Senate Republicans paid for Mississippi attack ads painting tea partiers as racist: report
The Washington Times ^ | 7/16/14

Mississippi attack ads that painted conservative Republicans and tea partiers as racists were funded by Senate Republicans, RedState editor-in-chief Erick Erickson has confirmed.

Advertisements by All Citizens for Mississippi, which attacked state Sen. Chris McDaniel and painted conservatives as racists, were partly funded by Sens. Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker and Roy Blunt, RedState reported.

According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour-backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.

We live in a one party nation.

I refer to it now as the 'Statist Uniparty'.

I called McConnells office this morning....they know nothing.

I called Portman’s office this morning, they know nothing.

Both offices directed me to the NRSC,. The moron that answered the phone took up for Cochran, said McDaniel ran lying adds, and said the senators had the right to spend their money as they saw fit.

For the first time in my life I used the F word in a conversation.

I’m so mad I could spit nails.

You don’t expect them to admit that they did, do you?

We have been betrayed.

Its like a running back deliberately tripping his lead blocker and then expecting to score a touchdown.

Suprise!

Not.

I bet if someone were to really dig around we’d find that a lot of the MSM attacks on the tea party as racists have GOP connections.

Why do we support them again? Maybe someone can explain to me.

‘I am thisclose to monetarily supporting the candidacies of the democrat challengers in MS and KY for this. Eff the GOPe.’

I have a couple of questions. How do we know that it is not the Demon party donating this money in the names of long time Repubs?

Who benefits most from a split in the Repub party this fall?

We need to hear this from the mouths of the Senators who have been of accused of doing this or ironclad proof that they did it. I have little doubt that they did just what has been alleged but I also know the the lawless ones are masters at deception. I reserve judgement and action until I am sure and would advise us all to do the same.
