Chris McDaniel, the Republican candidate in last Tuesdays GOP primary that fell just shy of defeating long-time incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), reacted to the outcome.
McDaniel laid out his Republican credentials and questioned why his states Republican Party had gone to such lengths to for Cochran.
It was shocking, McDaniel said. Im a two-term state senator. Ive been a Republican since I was 13-years old. Ive paid my dues. Ive gone door to door. Ive given money. I considered these men and woman to be my friends and colleagues. But desperation and the quest for power pushed them somewhat over the edge. And Tuesday evening the Republican primary in Mississippi was not decided by Republican voters. It was decided by 35,000-40,000 Democrats. Thats unprecedented, extraordinarily unusual.
He also claimed he had evidence of more than 1,000 voting irregularities in just one country and pointed to the desperate tactics Cochran employed to get Democrats out to vote for him.
Its not so much a recount, McDaniel continued. Were looking to the issue of whether or not people who participated in if June 3 Democrat Primary crossed over into the Republican Primary this Tuesday night. Weve found more than 1,000 examples of that in one county alone. So, weve found widespread irregularities of ineligible voters. They should not have been there in the first place. And they were pushed there. This is what's shocking, Sean. They were pushed there be an overt action, an aggressive action on the part of Sen. Cochrans campaign that was filled with race-baiting, lies, distortions. He literally ran the latter three weeks on food stamps. He ran on voter suppression and he ran on pork. Mississippi is a conservative state and one would think that our party was a conservative party. This proves otherwise.

They won’t take the House. That’s a given.
But they may fall short of the senate and it will 100% BE DOWN TO WHAT THEY DID HERE.
Even if nothing comes of it, the bitter taste of betrayal is spreading across the nation. It will hurt the GOP incalculably.
The republicans don’t want to work with the tea party. They want the tea party to vote for their hand picked rino candidates, make donations then shut up until the next election. It’s hard to work with someone when that someone is promising to punch you in the nose.
Potentially good example of fraud.
Chuck C. Colson reports that Lauren Kennedy claims to be a Democrat who voted in the Democrat primary and the Republican runoff. He produced an image of her comment.
The Republican Party worked hard to reinforce the lie in the minds of black people that conservatives are racists. They no longer deserve our support.
Nothing is “a given” anymore.
They’re not even really contesting enough house races to take it back. Gerrymandering means that you’re really only playing for about 10 seats, until governorships change
“I saw Hannity and I think Dick Morris is running scared. He said he’d worked for McDaniel yada yada but now we had to get behind Cochran.”
Dick Morris should be run off the air! He’s a quisling who will take anyone’s money and work for them (can you say Slick Willie). He evidently has his nose so far up Hannity’s you know what that it’s a wonder he’s still able to breathe. He’s a despicable little fat man!
“Remember the seats we lost in the last senate races. I even contributed to some of them, like Delaware and Nevada. We still have Harry Reid.”
Yes, and those people were flawed candidates who ran lousy races but didn’t get the GOPE “treatment” like McDaniels has. If this is how the GOPE operates, I hope they loose the Senate and the House too! I never thought I’d see a corrupt GOPE but here it is for all to see! As far as your family in Mississippi, sounds like they are a bunch pork barrel grifters if they “love Thad.”
Even when it comes to infidelity, I get the impression that Democrat couples are more likely to stay together.
>> Well, so what?
That’s the fighting spirit!
Now you can call me delusional.
The TEA party, the same Conservatives the GOPe has been throwing under the bus election after election?
If you are paying attention, we're not trying to take down all Republicans, just those who have been ignoring Conservative concepts and acting like Liberals on the issues that count.
When there is a lawless regime in DC and relatively little opposition, then those who aren't opposing it need to go. Their tacit approval of the actions of this administration (if not wholehearted support) is all the more reason the Republican party and the TEA party don't need that sort of 'leadership' in Washington.
There really isn't any point in sending Liberals with an 'R' after their name to Congress, might as well elect a Democrat.
You are clueless. The Republicans do not want to work with the Tea Party/conservatives at all, they want to destroy us and said so. Republicans cannot win without conservatives. Republicans have to pretend to be conservative to win primaries/elections and if they do get elected turn around on their campaign promises. spit on the conservatives and join the dims. This has gone beyond disgusting, to the point now where Republicans have to get Democrat votes to win their primary as happened in Mississippi? Does your family support that? That is cutting off your nose to spite your face- does anyone believe those Democrats will vote Republican in November?
Here is a thought- if Republicans were representing conservatives and stood up to Democrats on conservative issues do you think there would be a Tea Party? The Tea Party is not the cause of the problems in the Republican Party, it is a symptom.
The Republicans do not want to work with or represent the Tea Party/conservatives, they only want their money and their vote. I know I am through giving my money and my vote to people who do not represent me.
Good points. I can’t stand the party first Republicans. You don’t reward treachery and incompetence with a vote or a majority. If the GOP is gonna trash Conservative voters all the way to the presidential primaries then they deserve to go the way of the Whigs.
His executive assistant Kay Webber?
Reportedly, the two of them do get around. According to Breitbart:
For example, Cochran and Webber traveled eight times to France, five times to Italy, four times to Israel, and twice to Japan.The full list of countries they traveled to includes: Italy, France, Brussels, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Hungary, Russia, Norway, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Malta, Austria, and Czech Republic in Europe; Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile in South America; Guatemala, and Mexico in North and Central America; Japan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Republic of the Philippines, and South Korea in Asia; Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Azerbaijan, Oman, and United Arab Emirates in the Middle East, to Morocco; and Egypt, Cape Verde, and South Africa in Africa.
Other documents show that in 2005 and 2007, the Wine Institute, a trade association that represents the California wine industry, paid for Cochran's and Webber's travel to Sonoma, California for what a disclosure form described as a fact-finding program on issues of importance to the wine industry. No other aides attended the trip.
Definitely beats hangin' out in the nursing home with his Alzheimer's-afflicted old lady.
As the late great BoB Grant would say Barbour, Cockroach your both Fake, Phony Frauds.
That’s funny!
Definitely beats hangin’ out in the nursing home with his Alzheimer’s-afflicted old lady.
He’ll be reunited with his wife soon enough.
Should be with her now intact
Cochran is an Eastland and Stennis Republican" even if he can't remember who Eastland and Stennis were. The people of MS have NOT THad Enough.
It would take money and grass roots organization but I don't see any good coming out of this endless GOPe vs Tea Party melee within the Republican Party.
