Much as it pains me to say it, it's time to put Party Unity first.

Oh look! A newby RINO, probably a friend of the Cochran campaign, calling for party unity in the wake of campaign actions that cannot be defended!

No sale.

I am solidly in the McDaniel camp and do not appreciate being called a kook. I am a conservative first, not a Republican. The GOP abandoned people like me long ago but reinforced that with its 2012 nomination of the father of gay marriage and socialized medicine for president.

P.U.M.A.

I’m generally in agreement with you.

Not here.

Reagan’s 11th Commandment cuts both ways, and Cochrane’s massive violation of it should not be forgiven just because he “won” the nomination.

What Cochrane did exceeded, grossly so, the boundaries of any acceptable level of the expected rough and tumble of primary campaigns. He undermined the integrity of the process and system by buying votes. He undermined the integrity of the Conservative Movement by attacking McDaniels using slanderous “right wing” stereotypes on issues like race and racism.

There’s a difference between winning, and winning ugly. Cochrane won very, very ugly and now gets to reap the consequences of that win.

Oh, how cute. Rove, is that you?

Party unity can go straight to hell. Take your GOP lefties and....well, you know what you can do with them. Thing is, you liberals like that kind of thing.

Admit it. You really enjoy being dumped on and rained on by your own
party. It floats your boat.

Should McDaniel and Bruce be disqualified because they fail the purity test? Of course not..

Note, carefully, how the writer changes the actual thrust of the protest, to imply some form of fanaticism on the part of the victims of flagrantly bad behavior on the part of the Cochran campaign managers (not of the Senator personally)! The victims are protesting being smeared, having bought votes used against them, and maybe even some invalid votes being improperly counted.

Similarly, the writer continues the insult by calling those who protest "kooks."

As an Ohioan, it is not my place to meddle in Mississippi politics. Elections--even Federal elections--are supposed under Article I of the Federal Constitution, to be governed by State law. And, unlike many over the past century, this Ohioan has always opposed outside meddling in that process. But as a rational analyst; as a lifelong student of rhetoric & exponent of reasoned debate, I will comment on what is no better than a propaganda piece. If the writer were seriously interested in promoting party unity, rather than further denigrating the candidate he doesn't like, he would never have employed the techniques of a dissembler.

Let the dialogue begin.

This is a liberal phrase.. I assume from a liberal newspaper.

Yes ... I’m sure as a conservative, I’ll always look to a newspaper called the DEMOCRAT ... and to a suspicious new poster who quotes it ... for advice.

Or not.

I’ll go with “not”.

Party unity?
Time to kick some dirt over it. It’s dead. You are holding onto a corpse. The paradigm shift just happened.

Some stern things need to be said about sabotaging integrity. It’s one thing to disagree about issues, even wrongly. It’s another thing to call on your enemy to save you by doing what your enemy typically does.

It is easy enough to do if you have no principles to begin with. Or no self respect. As for me, if I called myself a Conservative and lived in either MS or KY , I would die and go to hell before I would vote for the Republican nominee, after the way they treated me. But as I said in the first statement, If I had no....

So, you signed up two weeks ago just to be a concern troll?

What's next, are you going to talk about Reagan's "11th Commandment"? (Hint: it's nothing more than a myth made up by people like you to silence conservatives).

Looking over your posts, I would say that you are a straight-up troll and probably a retread.

Also, some “bloodbath,” when the Dems had to break the law on a massive scale in order to wrench McDaniel’s win away from him. There was “blood” all right, as they murdered campaign ethics and the law itself.

Three hours, five minutes since you posted this.

There's no way I made it in time to see the lightening.
