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.

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.

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.

That's what you get when you vote Republican.

And they will keep voting Republican because that's where the money is.

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.
