Parker makes good points.
It does not change the necessity of unearthing the truth. A line was crossed in Mississippi. “Moving on” confirms that Conservatives can be counted on to shut up and take it.
I agree. And do you think would it be different today had McDaniel assertively courted those churches? Would we be saying “dang, he did it - he didn’t take any chances either - he went to the black churches to get his numbers up”...
But he didn’t.
I still think Cochran and Barbour cheated though. They’ll get theirs. I kind of hope animal porn is found on Cochran’s computer [or, if he can’t operate one then magazines on his desk.] And I hope they come up with something similarly disgusting on Barbour.
Yes she does
Her points ignore the reality that money brought those blacks to cross over and that money originated from the national GOP via Barbour’s network.
$50 is some serious money to the poor because each day they are looking for that little extra to get them to next week. $50 will buy some groceries or some gas or some hope with a lotto ticket or some cigarettes. We can look down at such self debasement but it won’t change the reality of such people.
To buy 50,000 such votes at $50 a head requires $2.5 million of ‘walk around money’. Parker ignores this.
And how McDaniel’s campaign will handle this if a new election is won is a mystery we should not hear about as it can tip off the Cochran camp.
I pray two things; that McDaniel wins a new election and Cochran is no longer funded for buying crossovers.
