failed I could not help noticing Cochran ineffective longevity with regards to
structural problems of his constituency.

Of course.

Cochran is a Republican.

And Republicans are all about screwing over the poor, not helping them.

And as for McDaniel, he's a bagger, and they are all about screwing over the poor even harder.

The primary concern of a politician is to get re-elected. Cochran has done this quite successfully.

Next is to raise money to get re-elected. Again he has been successful at this.

This takes up 70% of his time in office.

Here I was thinking that you were interested in coming here to provide the opposing conservative viewpoint on the issues but it seems that you are only interested in living up to your avatar. Well done Mike, you've proven what most around here already believe, you're only interested in trolling. You have a nice life dude.

Baggers are not all about anything. They are what they are told to be. If they are operating on their own, they are likely to believe anything and say anything, but nothing will connect with anything else. They can't be ALL about anything in particular; that would require structure and coherence.

You're the last person on the planet that i'd expect to be interested in the opposing conservative viewpoint, unless it's about impugning the person delivering it. So spare me the feigned indignation and please get back to your typical snarkiness.
