Cochran Campaign Busted! Charles Johnson Scores Direct Hit
redstate.com ^ | 7/8/14 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 07/08/2014 12:26:47 PM PDT by cotton1706

There are a lot of naysayers toward Charles Johnson and his reporting on Mississippi, despite the high accuracy of his content. Well, he has a scalp to add to his accuracy score. The Cochran campaign is admitting it “screwed up” its accounting.

The Gotnews.com site Monday night reported that the Cochran campaign reimbursed staffer Amanda Shook for large sums of cash listed as “Reimbursed Expense – Campaign Walkers.” FEC regulations allow reimbursement to staff only for travel and food expenses, and any other outlay of money by a staffer would be considered a contribution, and subject to a $2,600 limit.

A spokesman for six-term incumbent Cochran called the filing “a screw up,” and the campaign has denied vote buying and other allegations.

As the McDaniel campaign is noting, the allegations of criminal misconduct continue to rise against the Cochran campaign.

Last night on Mark Levin’s radio show, Senator Ted Cruz called for a full investigation into the Mississippi runoff. This story is not going away.

Two questions...

1. Has she returned, and

2. If not, does the US have an extradition treaty with them?

I’m willing to bet he’d let them smoke pot...

Any TRUE conservative would let them smoke pot. It's part of that personal responsibility and individual freedom thing.

Republicans (GOPe) on the other hand are generally fine with the war on drugs and jack-booted thugs as long as it's THEIR jack-booted thugs.

For Cochran, it was as "screw-up." What was it for D'Souza? Conviction?

Good point!

If Cruz came out for legal pot, he would lose my vote.

He still has to win in November. Running against Dems instead of RINOS may prove to be difficult if the RINOs can’t control their emotions...and false pride.

Eff you dirt bag.

I reported you for abuse (first time in my history). I don't take kindly to you claiming that I'm for kiddie sex. You are nothing but a GOPe troll and are too stupid to understand it.

So it’s okay for libertardians to attack traditional conservatives as statists, communists, socialists and in favor of grenading children but we can’t point out that libertardians are for no age of consent?

seriously?

I was talking about you personally

That is trolling. Libertarians are much closer to leftists than anything conservative, they love open borders, abortion, gay marriage etc etc and yes, many of them think the age of consent is unconstitutional.

So what would you know about "true conservative"??

So you probably think that anyone who doesn't want drugs to be legal support jackbooted thugs? That is ridiculous too.

Your lack of the ability to reason is disturbing.

I'm a Constitutionalist first and foremost. I read the Constitution and nowhere do I see anything that enables the war on drugs. The problem with you extremely shallow thinkers is that you think that government control is fine as long as you get to set the rules. That's stupid and as illogical as can be.

Equating support for individual responsibility and personal freedom as support for sex with children is asinine and moronic. That you can't see the difference is sad but telling.
