On the dismissal of the Chris McDaniel challenge in Mississippi

If I lived in Mississippi could not vote for Thad.

I live in MS and will not vote for Thad - to do so would be to submit to betrayal.

You nailed it perfectly.

As Ronald Reagan would say ... "Assign Thad Cochran to the dustbin of political history".


In Clearwater/St. Pete Florida our "Thad Cochran" is GOP-E David Jolly.

David Jolly announced a few weeks ago that he favors "sodomite marriage" ... to the SHOCK of the Conservatives that voted for his sorry @ss.

I'll be voting for the "Dimocrat" to send David Jolly (forever) back to a "real job" at home (imagine that) ...

A Traitor is of far higher priority than is an enemy.

Shout it from the rooftops!

A Traitor is of far higher priority than is an enemy!!!

[houeto]

Thanks for the ping. To Hell with Thad Cochran!

[Din Maker]

He should immediately follow the senator from Alaska’s lead and announce a write-in campaign. Screw the corrupt GOPe!

Mississippi does NOT count write-in votes...BUT, if all of his supporters did a write-in for him, that would show the world why Thad Cochran lost to a Conservative Democrat. Without McDaniel’s supporters voting for him, I don’t see how Cochran wins.

TO ALL TRUE CONSERVATIVES IN MISSISSIPPI:

On November 4th, do not forget what That Cochran and Haley Barbour did to Chris McDaniel and the Tea Party.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET!

[Lurking Libertarian]

Then McDaniel files his challenge in state court and the Cochran camp finds a case decided in 1959 that states election challenges must be filed within 20 days even though the election laws were completely rewritten later and the 20 day requirement was never mentioned.

I am a lawyer, but not a Mississippi lawyer, so take this with as many grains of salt as you wish. But the usual rule is that if a court interprets a statute one way, and the Legislature later amends the statute and doesn't change the relevant language, it is assumed that they meant to ratify the court's interpretation of the statute.

Mississippi election law appears to be a mess, with vague (and sometimes internally-inconsistent) statutes and with dubious court decisions, but McDaniel was the Chairman of the Election Law committee of the state senate, so he bears some part of the blame for that situation. And while the 20-day deadline comes from a Mississippi Supreme Court decision, not from the clear language of the statute, so does the rule against crossover voting, upon which McDaniel based his entire election challenge. Live by precedent, die by precedent.

Not sure what I AM going to do (write in, 3rd party, stay home) but I am 100% sure what I will not be doing.

Thanks for the Hat Tip.

I don’t think it’s spite. But I don’t get how helping even 1 democrat get elected is to America’s advantage. These people are to-the-wall, bat guano crazy & getting worse every day.

People can call you anything they want. It doesn’t make it true.

I’d rather see a shooting war than have 1 more 2006 & I don’t want that (a war) At. All. It’s time to (at least) stop the damage.
I don’t see America surviving if the democrats aren’t ousted PDQ.

Do you remember Arlen Specter? Knowing what I know now, I would have traded him for a Democrat any day of the week.

Traitors on our side are worse than enemies on the other side.

[Din Maker]

Good for you, but, don’t stay home. Write-in Chris McDaniel (even tho they won’t count write-in votes) so they will know why Cochran got defeated by the Conservative Democrat, Travis Childers who is Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment and ANTI-same/sex marriage.

I understand what you are saying, but, Cochran’s Dem opponent in MS is a Conservative Dem who is Pro-Life, Pro-Second and ANTI-same/sex marriage. That’s why a lot of Conservatives, who are hated and despised by Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour, are comfortable voting for a Democrat in MS in November. It might not be to America’s advantage in the short run, but, to try and “right” the GOP will be to America’s advantage in the long run. I know you’ll make the decision that is best for you.

Blessings!

[KGeorge]

Din Maker- God Bless you, too! (I don’t know who the democrat candidate for Mississippi is, but I bet you he knows which side his bread’s buttered on. He’s got the left. McDaniel’s out of the way. Now all he needs is conservatives to fall for his line of bs) I’m not sure the GOP *can* be righted. I’m afraid we’re fiddling while (America) burns.

Diogenes- Things changed- I would say sea-changed, after Spector left.

Maybe I just know democrats too well to ever be able to bring myself to vote for one again. They will lie, cheat, steal- do anything & everything to get or retain power. And once they get it, well, we’re living it.
I had an orchestra circle seat when the dems took the House & Senate in 2007. It chilled me to the bone & they hadn’t even done *anything* yet.
I would sooner make a “deal” with the devil.

[Din Maker]

They (Democrats) will lie, cheat, steal- do anything & everything to get or retain power.

Wow! I knew that Karl Rove, Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour were Democrats.

[KGeorge]

Thaaat’s my point. People can *say* anything; call themselves anything they want- claim anything they want. Doesn’t make it true.

[ConservativeMind]

McDaniel had to wait ten days for the GOP to deny him his request. That request, to name McDaniel the true winner, had to come after the results were certified.

McDaniel did everything by the book the right way with the follow up after the election.

As for the nursing home thing—it wasn’t McDaniel’s people and Chris said it was a bad thing to have done.

What are you? You certainly aren’t a conservative with a brain.

[ConservativeMind]

We are encouraging close, conservative friends in Mississippi to now vote for the Democrat against Cochran.

GOP, take this one up your butt!

[taildragger]

I would rather burn it down than let those backstabbers have it.

I've noticed Sarah has not been as politically active as she was during the primaries, that might speak to the fact they have gamed us, or it is a busy summer in Alaska.

But I am having this debate with R's and Conservative friends. I can't vote for the toadies anymore. I have been told I am ahead of the curve, you are and many other here are as well. The EGOP is in for a big surprise this fall. They are not going to win like they thought they would. We have had enough and will not pull the lever for Tweedledum (R) instead of Tweedledee (D). We won't pull the lever at all.

We may in fact be this Mouse this fall telling K-Street, Rove, Barbour, RSRC, the E-GOP and so many others, Up-Yours....

[Din Maker]

Re: Your post number 98: Bless you in your endeavors to get people to vote for the conservative Democrat in Mississippi in November. I wish you great success. I’m thinking about driving over to Mississippi from Texas in October and helping the Childer’s campaign. If the Tea Party lets Cochran and Barbour get away with this they are finished.
