The story changes again. And now Fielder is a “staffer” and the amount of his compensation was to be $16,000.
The GOPe is not only stupid, they’re cheap too.
This story is not getting as much play in the national media as it deserves. I used my Facebook account to try, in a small way, to give it wider play beyond our conservative circles. Here is what I posted, trying to give a very basic and fact-oriented account of the events. Feel free to copy and paste to any of your own walls if you wish.
“There have been a lot of big items in the news lately: the Supreme Court rulings, the IRS scandal, the ISIS Caliphate (That will be a big one.)....It is easy to overlook the signficant things happening in Mississippi in the wake of the Republican Senate primary and how it might affect the future political landscape of the country. If you haven’t gotten up to speed on it yet, you might want to do so. Here it is in a nutshell:
1. The long-term Republican Senator, Thad Cochran, was forced into a runoff when he finished second to Tea Party favorite Chris McDaniel. McDaniel fell just short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff.
2. Cochran narrowly won the runoff by about a 6,000 vote margin.
3. To achieve the very unexpected victory, the Republican establishment sought out liberal Democrat votes, spending large sums of money to vilify its own conservative base in the process.
4. Reports have emerged that the Cochran campaign may have engaged in a felony by giving money to prominent black preachers to distribute to their members to vote for Cochran. Reports state that $15 per person “walking around money” was widely distributed, resulting in as much as 30,000 or more additional Democrat voters participating in the Republican runoff who did not participate in the Republican primary.
5. Mississippi has a law prohibiting those voting in a party’s primary from voting in another party’s runoff election. Thus far, with many counties left to be examined, there have been more than 4,900 illegal votes uncovered in which people who voted in the Democrat primary subsequently voted in the Republican runoff.
6. The Republican establishment in many counties has been trying to prevent the McDaniel campaign from reviewing the rolls, essentially trying to run out the clock on the election.
7. The national organization True the Vote has now filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Republican establishment in Mississippi. Election results are very rarely voided, but there are indications that there are enough improprieties that this election may be.
8. The Federal Election Commission is now asking for a variety of additional information from Republican establishment sources. One of the questions revolves around a PAC (Political Action Committee) at the center of the controversy. The PAC is not authorized by the FEC and is operated by the Barbour family, the first family of the Republican establishment in Mississippi.
9. There are reports that Thad Cochran, who according to reports did not want to run for reelection but was pressured by the Barbour family, is now considering conceding or resigning to avoid criminal charges....or perhaps others are urging this of him, since his public appearances seem to indicate that he may be in the early to moderate stages of senility.
10. Many conservatives have long believed that their biggest enemies are not Democrats but establishment Republicans. Many believe that, given a choice, that the Republican establishment wing of the Party would prefer to align themselves with Democrats than with conservatives...especially social conservatives. The Republican establishment does have a history of fighting harder against its conservative base than against Democrats. The events in Mississippi are perhaps developing into “the straw that broke the camel’s back”. The call to “Remember Mississippi” is rapidly spreading in many conservative quarters nationwide. Within Mississippi, polls indicate that more than half of McDaniel’s supporters, if the election is not voided, now intend to either not vote in the general election or to vote for Cochran’s Democrat opponent. With the background of many conservative’s strongly held belief that the Republican establishment “wants their votes but not their values”, the events in Mississippi may prove to be a seminal event in shaping the political landscape of the country in the future, and especially the future makeup of the Republican Party.”
Well who else would be suing to prove Cochran cheated, duh!
Shame that the criminals can comit crimes that are blaitantly obvious and have the money to protect their crimes
The official who runs the election is a paid Cochran flunkie? Yup. Sham election is right! In the olden days they'd be run out on a rail!!
PETE “THE CHEAT” PERRY ARRESTED FOR DUI
As some of you may be aware by now, Hinds County GOP chair Pete Perry, a man that many believe is behind the shenanigans on June 24, was arrested for speeding and drunk driving this past Saturday night. Here is his mugshot. Hopefully there will be more pics like this in the future! We can only pray!

Rickey Cole, the chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, says Cochran’s allies are paying Democratic operatives to help get out the vote with a questionable tactic.
“Pete Perry” – the chairman of the Hinds County Republican Party – “is paying James ‘Scooby Doo’ Warren thousands of dollars to funnel to black preachers and others to get-out-the-vote for Cochran,” Cole wrote in a Facebook message sent to a top aide of state Sen. Chris McDaniel’s campaign, Ric McCluskey, just after midnight Tuesday.
“Large sums of cash are being passed around. These guys are old school ‘walking around money’ vote buyers,” Cole wrote in the message, obtained by Breitbart News, adding, “Need some out of state media to put some heavy scrutiny on Pete asap.” Continue reading;
McDaniel announced he is offering up to 15 bounties valued at $1,000 each for evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in voter fraud on or leading up to the June 24, 2014, Republican primary runoff election in Mississippi.
