In light of last night’s election results in Mississippi, there is one question every conservative should be asking: how much longer can a party survive when its leadership is inexorably against the ethos of its base?
While Democrats harness their base supporters to advance the party’s liberal agenda, the Republican establishment works to undermine and disenfranchise its own base the minute they have pocketed their support in the general election. Now, after actively campaigning for Democrat votes in order to win against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, the GOP establishment has reached a new low in their treachery against those who embody the heart and soul of the party.
Based on the preliminary election results, it appears that the well-oiled campaign by the NRSC and Haley Barbour to turn out Democrat votes was more than enough to make the difference in last night’s primary. With roughly 60,000 more votes cast in the runoff than the primary, and an unprecedented surge in Democrat counties and precincts, it is almost certain that Chris McDaniel won the GOP vote while losing overall by about 6,400 votes.
Campaigning openly for Democrat votes in a GOP primary using issues and arguments contrary to the party platform is one thing. But the fact that they played the race card and ran mailers and robo calls in African American areas accusing their own party of being racist is downright despicable.
Hence, the NRSC and the GOP establishment essentially marshalled Democrat support to beat conservative voters in order to reelect an ineffective incumbent who is barely lucid and will very possibly never serve out his term.

Just name them.
Yes, well, we are where we are.
On the other hand, they wouldn't be pulling this crap if they weren't desperate. When strategy was discussed at the very first Tea Party I attended in St. Louis in Feb. '09 and we decided to aim for a takeover of the Republican party (as opposed to 3rd party), nobody thought it would be easy or quick.
All things considered, we are closer than I thought we would (or could be) by now, even with the setbacks. And the leaders we are finding along the way are truly great people. I think we'll hear from Chris McDaniel again, come what may.
Ha!!
Ping them...
It's the proper way here.....
