Opposed to gay marriage, Pro-Life and Pro-Second Amendment...... yep, I could vote for him in November and tell Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour to kiss my butt on both sides.

If you vote for him in November, he’ll be voting for Harry Reid as majority leader in January.

How many pro-life or pro-gun votes would he have to cast to make up for that?

More like conservative voters will write in a vote or not vote at all for that race.
And I hope my republican State Senator Flanagan, NY is reading, thanks for the SAFE ACT you POS. You will not get my vote in November. (I won’t vote Dhimmicrat but neither will I vote for you).

One could argue a vote for Cochran is a green light for GOPe to use race baiting tactics against the Tea Party and GOP base voters.

It is a trick - no way he will vote that way

He’d probably switch parties (did it before) like Angus King said he would

A conservative Democrat...

Uh, no...such a creature does not exist.

If one is anti-gay marriage, pro-life and a supporter of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, one is not a democrat and claiming to be so simply perpetuates the lie.

When told to adhere to the party principles, he most definitely will, or suffer the wrath of the party leaders.

I will never trust a damned democrat on anything.

Two-faced lying snakes.

Thank you for pointing out that a vote for any Dremocrat is a vote for Harry Reid as Majority Leader. Democrat Senators vote in lockstep with whatever their Leader tells them. Don’t believe any campaign rhetoric that Democrats put out to the Contrary.

Childers has opposed gay marriage, is anti-abortion and anti-gun control.

This sort of Democrat is always attractive to the unwashed undecided. They never seem to realize that the SOB's stance at home is to get votes, but that his DC votes are going with the Loony Left. Judgeships? Left Wing Nut Burgers, Supreme Court, ditto.

Of course, if the good-ole-boy-conservative Democrat is running against a RINO weenie financed by the traitors at the RNC ... it just makes him all the more attractive. If through some miscalculation the real Democrat loses, the RINO/d will vote more liberally than he would probably have anyway!

He’s a Rat, you can’t trust him as far as you can throw him. Besides, his first vote in the Senate will be for Harry Reid.

I think Childers had a so so record, 60% or so, when he was in the House. If he makes major efforts to distance himself from ObaMao and Reid, reaches out to the TEA Party and pledges to caucus with the GOP if he's the deciding vote or they otherwise gain the majority, then he could win.

Who cares... No one should support someone who willfully engages in voter fraud regardless of party affiliation.

Exactly!

“...but that his DC votes are going with the Loony Left. Judgeships? Left Wing Nut Burgers, Supreme Court, ditto.”

Heidi Heitkamp, the junior ‘Rat Senator from North Dakota is a classic example.

She talked a good moderate to conservative game when she was running for the Senate (I’m for the Keystonme Pipeline, blah, blah, blah...) but in the Senator, he voting records has been pretty liberal.

Travis Childers, if elected to the Senate, would be much the same way.

Thad Cochran sucks and the way he won the run-off sucks. But if I were in Mississippi, I’d hold my nose (and close my eyes) when checking the box next to his name.

He has my vote. Mitch McConnell better work very hard in other states to get that 51st vote is all I can say.

Mark Levin opened his show talking about the Cochran/McDaniel election last night, saying that after what happened in this race he wouldn’t vote for Thad Cochran because he’d be betraying himself to do so: If I lived in Mississippi, I would not vote for Thad Cochran, because Thad Cochran has besmirched me. Thad Cochran has told Democrats, minorities, liberals, anybody who would listen that I’m a racist and that I want to stop black people from voting. People assigned to him, people associated with him — Cochran hasn’t denounced any of this. Mitch McConnell hasn’t denounced any of this. John McCain hasn’t denounced any of this. Haley Barbour hasn’t denounced any of this. They’re having a party! They won! They won, and why? They’re so desperate to keep a constitutional conservative out of the Senate? They’re so desperate to protect a man in the early stages of dementia, because he’ll vote the way they want him to vote, because they can control him? And that’s what we’ve become? That’s what the party of Lincoln has become? The party of Abraham Lincoln has become the party of race-baiting and food stamps? The party of Ronald Reagan has become the party of race-baiting and food stamps? This is what happens when you have no principles. This is what happens when you’ve lost your moorings. Reagan appealed to conservative Democrats on a cultural level. He appealed to their highest aspirations, not fear mongering, not race baiting, not by promoting big government programs. No, there’s no way Thad Cochran would get my vote. I’d be betraying myself I feel the same way. I wouldn't take a piss on Thad Cochran if he was ablaze in a forest fire. Sometimes things go too far!

So as far as you are concerned, the fact that Thad is no different than - Heidi Heitkamp, the junior ‘Rat Senator from North Dakota - you will vote for your team just because.

It matters not to you that your team is Un-American, Elitist scum.
Are you getting any remuneration (A.K.A. Obamaphones) for your loyalty?
