Cochran Smacks Down Strutting Bantam Rooster
 
In a race that was McDaniel's to lose, the overconfident cock fighting aficionado blew it big time after trouncing the incumbent Thad 'Porkman' Cochran in the regular primary.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...y.html?hpid=z1

"In a bitter and angry speech to supporters in Hattiesburg late Tuesday, McDaniel refused to concede and said, “we are not prone to surrender.” He cited “voting irregularities” and thundered that the “Republican primary [was] decided by liberal Democrats.”
“We’re not done fighting,” McDaniel vowed.
In nearly every Mississippi county, voter turnout was up over the inconclusive June 3 primary. But precinct totals show it was substantially higher in heavily African American areas. In the 24 counties with a majority black population, turnout increased by 39.4 percent, giving Cochran a big edge." WaPo

Talk about sore losers. :rolleyes:

Back in 2008 he did exactly the same thing in his "Operation Chaos," in an effort to derail the Obama wave. I tuned in to the fat pig while in my car to hear him explain how somehow this was decidedly different and how McDaniel was betrayed by the GOP establishment. He further asserted that McDaniel would have been more electable in the general election. Black participation in Cochran's win seems to be driving a further wedge between the 'Baggers and the GOP establishment. Fun stuff to watch.:D

I glad that McDaniel did not win.

However it is sad that a man could be a Senator for 40 years and his
state ranks last in almost every social and economic sector.

Imagine how much further back they'd be if he had been unsuccessful in bringing home 3X as much Federal money as Federal taxes paid by the state.

You can't make this chit up:

McDaniel himself voted in a 2003 Democratic primary and has refused to reveal how he voted in the subsequent general election. Now, he's outraged that Democrats crossed over and voted in a GOP primary, just as he did earlier. What a feckin' hypocrite.

And, as Daily Beast reporter Ben Jacobs points out, even McDaniel has taken advantage of the open primary system. He voted in the Democratic primary in 2003. Jacobs adds that "his campaign has declined multiple requests for comment as to whether he voted for the incumbent Democratic governor, Ronnie Musgrove, in the general election that year," a move that, under McDaniel's logic, would be illegal.

True dat but this seems a bit more unhinged than usual. The fact that black democrats pushed the vote over to Cochrane is going to have more of these racist dirtbags frothing at the mouth in the coming days.

:D Heh, even the Count advised McDaniels to "Take a deep breath" before contesting the election results but so far the 'baggers are hopping mad that Cochran did the smart albeit unprecedented move of reaching across the aisle to snatch victory from defeat. Strange days we're seeing, eh? This one will be talked about for years to come.

Really? The race card? Whatcho smokin' Mike or have you been watching Glenn Beck again? :rolleyes:

He reached across party lines and pulled a reverse Rush Limbaugh on his opponent, see 'Chaos Strategy'. Hell, even McDaniels crossed party lines back in '03 and voted in a Dem primary.

There's no need to play the race card with McDaniels. Just watching him is enough to scare any number of people. Do you really support having such unhinged whackos pulling the levers of government? They'd make yer boy Dubya look intelligent and nuanced.

We have a group here Orange county called the Lincoln Club. I never could understand the thought processes involved to be gay and Republican. I chalked it up to the Stockholm Syndrome or somesuch. :confused: I've never met any of them or I would ask.

It wasn't just a "race card". McDaniel really is a racist pig as are all of his friends. They are also supporters of "Golden Dawn" Greek Neo-Fascists and Neo-Confederate ideology. Their aim is to split this country in two again and establish a Neo-Fascist government in the South.

The veil is getting thinner by the day, Mike. Soon, the deniability will vanish altogether. Can't keep a lid on hate forever. It's a pressure cooker. Sooner or later it will either vent or explode.

Gay and Republican can intersect. A gay Republican organization is called the 'Log Cabin Republicans," a name with typical gay innuendo attaching.... here's their site: http://www.logcabin.org/

There has got to be more dissonance than ever these days between a gay and a Republican identity. But I have family history on how 'gay' and 'traditional respectable' definitively could go together, and lead a gay person to disapprove of a 'long-hair' relative back in the 70's.... Identity is not a thing that always makes logical sense in all its parts.

Oh and BTW, I see you've finally acknowledged the existence of the "Southern Strategy". Thanks, it's about time.

So, tell me; What was the original definition?

Never mind, I'll let Mr. Atwater explain it for you.

Bizarre reasoning. Cochran has been a senator for 36 years and he is representing both Republicans and Democrats, correct? So why should not a certain group of Democrats (whom he will be representing anyway) choose him over McDaniel.

You are paraphrasing what McDaniel said in his non-concession speech.
From: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...y.html?hpid=z1

In a bitter and angry speech to supporters in Hattiesburg late Tuesday, McDaniel refused to concede and said, “we are not prone to surrender.” He cited “voting irregularities” and thundered that the “Republican primary [was] decided by liberal Democrats.”

I am surprised he did not say black Democrats since this was organized by NAACP volunteers.

McDaniel chose to run as a Teabagger in an open primary and lost and now cries foul? What a feckin' whiner (as are you, BTW). You should be happy that at least one Republican seems willing to reach out to African-Americans.

The only "race to the bottom" results from the GOP having created and kowtowed to the 'Baggers.

Ike Bana 06-26-2014 08:06 AM

I'll just add that if the purpose is to win back the Senate, we would want the Donkey candidate to have the best chance of winning against the Pachyderm candidate. Seems to me, in statewide elections, even in Mississippi, that would be a radical teabagger candidate. Cochran will beat any Democrat he's up against.

Cochran is a feckin' gutter rat (as are you BTW) for participating in this farce. I don't "support" either individual. But Cochran ran a moribund campaign and got his ass handed to him in the primary as a result. But to resort to this kind of gutter politics to save his political ass tells me all I need to know about him. And to hear folks on this forum describe what his campaign and his allies did as "outreach" tells me all I need to know about them.

Teabaggers just can't get over the fact that most people think they're reactionary @ssholes. Rush tells them time and time again that they're mainstream and in the majority. Getting mugged by reality is painful.

Specifically what do you object to in your example? Looks factual to me, particularly in Mississippi. Your party welcomed the southern racists with open arms in the 60's, own them or cast them out.
Your schoolboy debate tactic of 'I'm rubber, you're glue' won't work here Mike. Grow the hell up.

I don't necessarily disagree that Cochran's a gutter rat. It's just that McDaniels is by far the bigger @sshole by any measure, not to mention that he's a whiner and a sore loser. Cochran ran his runoff campaign in accordance with Mississippi law and won. End of story.

Looks like truth-telling to me. Truth hurts, eh, finding out that your preferred candidate is a feckin' reactionary pig? After your party does the Willie Horton ad and accuses McCain of fathering an illegitimate black child, you have the gall to criticize Dems (or anybody else) for pointing out these facts in a campaign.

Finbow a gutter rat? How dare you?

YOU are defending a confederate prick, and your hate runneth over. Just why does black help to defeat McDaniel bug you so much?

Oh kwitcher sniveling. In every state with an open primary system both parties pull this shit all the time. Your persistent convenient outrage is gettin' really old.
