Nothing in life is free. And now that Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) was able to narrowly beat his Tea Party rival, due to thousands of black Democrats who crossed party lines to vote in the GOP primary runoff, his new constituency is looking to cash in on their influence.

In their minds, Cochran, who is in line to chair the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee if Republicans take back the Senate, is now a part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)--and should vote like a CBC member.

According to Politico, "Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are talking about what they want Cochran to do" if he gets re-elected for another six-year term. Their wishlist includes "maintaining funding for food stamps, beefing up programs that help poor blacks in Mississippi and even supporting the Voting Rights Act."

If he gets re-elected???Who is he up against? Ohhhhhhh. Riiiiiight. The RATS are STILL going to run an opponent against him. Good luck with your new friends, Thad

Congratulations Thad Cochran, on being the first white Congress person to be a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

I love the smell of ironic napalm in the morning.

[hinckley buzzard]

Do these suckers actually believe old Final Term Thad is going to pay any attention to them? What stupidity.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And he could care less as long as he continues to get re-elected. They are just one more snout in the trough for Thad to feed with the cash he squeezes out of the budget for MS.

I thought that was Barack Obama? LOL

You see, he should have made all the walking around money he dumped through Liberal (we all know what that's code for, right? /sarc) Pastors and churches contingent on further support come November.

Very shortsighted of him. Then again, I'm not sure Thad even remembers to go to the bathroom these days ...

[Jim Robinson]

Cochran screwed his conservative constituents and will now screw his liberal constituents. Thad loves screwing his constituency for fun and profit.

[Jim Robinson]

er, assuming he’s re-elected.

[bboop]

i am loving the irony too. Unintended consequences? do you think he thought this through?

McDaniel had better run write-in/3rd party....or I don’t ever want to hear from him again.

I'm sure the Ju$tice Brothers will offer their a$$i$tance in this effort. For a nominal fee...

[grania]

Why would anyone vote for Cochran now? And those folks who voted like slaves seriously think the plantation owner owes the ANYTHING?

[tanknetter]

I don't think he can. There have been a number of threads here citing MS elections law about how write-ins are only permitted if one of the candidates on the ballot leaves the race.

McDaniels is going for having the election thrown out, which is the right way to go.

[Gunpowder green]

LOL! Cochran’s loyalty has never been in question! He, the whore that he is, is available to any K-street donor with the cash to pay for his services.

We can do better.

We Own You Now

Well, yes, in the sense of "you break it, you bought it." Unless they're planning to put him in office themselves they're out of luck on this one.

[hosepipe]

Black caucus is late to the party.. MUST drink Kool-Aid...

[Old Yeller]

Civil right are for civilized people.
