Wrong. If you didn't have a dog in the fight, you wouldn't be running your one man jihad against Hyde-Smith. Do you think Epsy would have voted for Brett Kavanaugh? Really? Oh, and let's take a look at your precious "Freedom Works" scorecard.

[TexasGurl24]

Jeff FRICKIN Flake has a 78 in your fake measure of “conservatism” scorecard.

[TexasGurl24]

Oh, and Hyde-Smith can’t even be scored for 9 of the votes (because she wasn’t in the Senate) so her 46 really should be a 50, and she could have been as high as a 65 if she had a chance to vote on those 9 and had voted the way Freedworks thinks that she should have.

Oh, only Ron Paul and Mike Lee managed a 100% score. So I guess everyone should sit out all elections except those two, right?

[vette6387]

“Cindy Hyde-Smith is a zero. However, she’s a zero who will do President Trump’s bidding.”

I sure hope you’re right about aiding Trump, because from what I’ve seen of her she certainly is a zero. I mean what with half our population being women, why can’t we pick some stars? Oh well, at least Republican women aren’t ugly like their RAT counterparts, and most of them are a lot smarter.

[vette6387]

“They are pulling out all the stops trying to destroy her...”

And she’s been helping them!

[Yosemitest]

If you want to be backstabbed by Cindy Hyde-Smith, then go ahead and support that DemocRAT.

Me ? .... NEVER !

Two Conservative Groups Give Appointed Senator Failing Grades

... Cindy Hyde-Smith has already been given failing grades by two major conservative groups.

NumbersUSA, a watchdog group seeking to stop illegal immigration, gave Cindy Hyde-Smith a failing grade of just 25%.
By comparison, the same organization gave liberal Senator Bernie Sanders the same failing grade at 24%,
as well as Mississippi Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson at 22%,
making Cindy Hyde-Smith nearly aligned ideologically on immigration with Mississippi’s only Democrat in Congress and the socialist Senator from Vermont.
Conservative Senator Ted Cruz scored a 96%. ...

Mark Levin’s Conservative Review rates elected officials on a variety of issues
like the budget, spending, the national debt, taxes, the economy, trade, education, foreign policy and defense.
In the less-than-two months that Cindy Hyde-Smith has been in office, her Conservative Review score is 50% – another failing grade. ...

You vote to put this stinking APPOINTED (not elected) DemocRAT PRETENDING TO BE a R.I.N.O. in office,
and you'll have a hard time getting her replaced with someone who'll vote for YOUR principles.
But go ahead, and be a DUPE if you must !

[TexasGurl24]

Keep on cutting and pasting and continuing your jihad for Klintoon Stooge Epsy.

By the way, your cut and paste jihad isn’t going to erase a 10 point lead in the polls.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#4. I’m an Osprey fan, both of the bird, which I see on the Potomac River, and the plane, which sometimes flies near my house.

As for Mike Osprey, he is for the birds.

[StAnDeliver]

"I really do not understand how they lost, completely blew, a mathematical certainty of 6 seats."

I think it's more like 4, and in reality more likely just these first 2:

• Jon Tester (D-MT): If you look at the GOP primary map and then look at the general election map, it looks like Rosendale needed to do some bridge-building to supporters of Fagg and Olszewski. Given Montana's personality politics and that Rosendale was a palatable canddiate, I agree, this could have been an avoidable loss.

• Jacky Rosen (D-NV): I'm not sure Heller could have won this even under a couple of semi-realistic scenarios: Like not talking shit about the Senate in 2016 and expressing a preference to lose in 2018 and run for Governor; or wearing a Superman costume on Yucca shouting "You'll never open Yucca Mountain again!"; or even if Tarkanian had been told to switch to Nevada 3rd - which Tark promptly lost - in fall of 2017 instead of lingering until April 2018. But Heller shouldn't have been outspent by $7M, either, by a shrew who only beat "None of These Candidates" in her primary.

• Joe Manchin (D-WV): Look, it's West Virginia. And West Virginia gonna West Virginia. And if you want proof that vote on Justice Kavanaugh really did matter, look at Manchin then look at Donnelly and Heidi. Donnelly threw his potential close win away with both hands.

• Casey (D-Pa): At the Trump PA rallies, Barletta struck me as kind of a canned hamlet. His 'enthusiastic' message was that he didn't really have a message - it was a string of talking points that you couldn't really connect the dots. And that wasn't fair to himself -- dis guy, c'mon, he had some long-established cred with some sharp anti-illegal immigrant legislation, he had some good work in the House. But he and Christiana should run again, they're not bad candidates.

[StAnDeliver]

"I will NOT vote for someone who is against my principles MORE THAN she vote to support my principles. Maybe in 2020 people in Mississippi will actually run a REAL conservative like Ted Cruz, Chris McDainel, and Mia Love!"

FreedomWorks / Legislator	Score / Vote
Cindy Hyde-Smith	46%
Mia Love	57%

Good pickin', Tedlim. As good as your mad formatting skillz. At least Mia's got some free time; but doubt she's going to move to ole Miss.

[Yosemitest]

Cindy Hyde-Smith's own performance might.
Watch the full debate and see how robotics she appears to be.

WATCH LIVE: Cindy Hyde-Smith faces Mike Espy debate for Mississippi's U.S. Senate race * 58:01 )
PBS NewsHour
Streamed live on Nov 20, 2018

After watching the full 58 minutes and 1 second debate, I can understand why her campaign manager wanted to allow as little coverage of her as possible.
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s (R-Miss.) campaign demanded that media and the public be barred from attending that debate.

She rarely answers any questions without talking to her communications director, Melissa Scallan.

So, let me remind EVERYONE of Cindy Hyde-Smith's history.

... Cindy Hyde-Smith was a Democrat her entire life, winning three terms in the State Senate where she served from 2000 to 2012. But in order to run and win a statewide race for Agriculture Commissioner, she switched parties, not out of principle but out of pure political opportunism. She knew she would have a much easier time winning as a Republican than a Democrat.

But, make no mistake about it, in her earlier career she was a hardcore Democrat. Although it’s hard to know who she voted for in General Elections, her voting records show that she voted in every Democratic primary and runoff until her switch in 2011, so we can only logically conclude that she supported the Democratic nominee in the General.

Here are some of the Democratic elections that she voted in since 2006:

Democratic Primary – June 6, 2006

Democratic Runoff – June 27, 2006

General Election – November 7, 2006

Democratic Primary – August 7, 2007

Democratic Runoff – August 28, 2007

General Election – November 6, 2007

General Election – November 4, 2008

Democratic Primary – June 1, 2010

General Election – November 2, 2010

The position of her campaign is that she switched parties in 2010, and that may well be true, but she did not vote in a Republican Primary until August 2, 2011.

But now that she’s in the political fight of her life, up against the most conservative of candidates in McDaniel, she’s trying to mold herself into a “lifelong conservative,” hoping voters forget her many years in that other party. Her campaign website is chock full of conservative positions that make her sound just like Senator McDaniel. ...

But her voting record tells the truth on who Cindy Hyde-Smith REALLY is !
Either DemocRAT in this election would be a walking disaster for the Conservative Republicans, but either one would be an asset to the SWAMP !

[Yosemitest]

Mia Love supports MY values MORE THAN she doesn't.

Or don't you understand that
57% is greater than 50%,
and is much greater than 46% ? ? ?

[xzins]

Can’t say I’ve ever seen an osprey. Saw a bald eagle once

[trebb]

There are Espy fans on Free Republic???

Might as well be - a few fools helped McDaniel be the spoiler that necessitated a runoff instead of winning the seat outright the first time...one in particular is insanely obsessed against Cindy despite Trump stumping for her..would rather cut his throat after spraying a few thousand Trump supporters with AK rounds to show his "principles"....

[xzins]

I was incensed when McDaniel was cheated a few years back. That doesn’t justify bitter plans in the future that could cost us a senate seat. We should have learned that lesson with Jones and Alabama

[TexasGurl24]

You support Espy. You want Espy to win. You don’t have a single complaint against Espy. No jihad. No cut and paste.

You just want to smear the only option in the race that will prevent a Romney-MooCowSki-Collins trifecta from blocking Amy Barrett from replacing RBG.

[TexasGurl24]

Your 46% is a lie. I already pointed it out.

[kiryandil]

Meanwhile, the KKKrat Media is working as hard as they can to damage that lead...

We're lucky it's not KKKalifornia [Northern Mehico], because if the KKKrats were in charge of the voting machinery, they'd just wait till after the "eleKKKtion" to manufacture votes like they did in Orange KKKounty KKKalifornia.

[kiryandil]

yosey is a KKKrat.

You can identify them when they start talking about "principles", like it did in post #46.

The only "principles" the KKKrats adhere to is voting in a monolithic phalanx to keep corpses like Rotting Ruthie Ginsburg in her Supremes chair so her Commie law clerks can issue Commie rulings to undermine the Republic.

yosey don't care about that as long as he's got "Muh Principles".

[trebb]

Same here - I had McDaniel signs in my yard and went door to door to try to seat him and keep Cochran (cockroach) out.....in the interim, McDaniel started playing the bitter victim and seems to have lost sight of why we were so excited about trying to get him elected.

If he had stayed in opposition to Wicker, i would have supported him wholeheartedly but when he opted to play spoiler against Cindy, and that's all he ever was because he was trailing by enough he could never beat her much less win the election, I started wondering if we were as mistaken about him as we were about Rubio way back when he seemed like an actual conservative.
