GOP Senator Pulls Off Unthinkable Win Over Tea Party Challenger In The Nastiest Election In America en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 22:21:10 -0500 Brett LoGiurato Derp Vader Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:54:13 -0400 Benghazi! kryptic Wed, 25 Jun 2014 14:16:38 -0400 Since people who voted in the Democratic primary couldn't vote in the Republican run-off, the extra voters were primarily either Republican or Independent. Remember in most Southern States you never declare a party affiliation. add Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:20:28 -0400 one simple reason you should not be able to vote in any primary you want #1:In Mississippi it's against the law. #2: you cross over to try and get elected the least likely candidate to beat your man in the general election. #3: It's Immoral and it's not ethical to do so. Especially if your a Christian. joseph tetteh adjonyoh Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:08:59 -0400 i want to make business with you Vernon Willis Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:01:01 -0400 There have been other elections that were a choice between a state's future and its past. But this is probably the first time that a 76-year-old, six-term incumbent represented the future. GrubbsCD Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:54:55 -0400 Google wants to friend you! Gaijin Wed, 25 Jun 2014 10:55:47 -0400 When your competitor conspires to lure Democrats to cross party lines and vote in Republican primaries you have a real problem. Primaries are not a general election where you can vote for anyone you like. Primary elections are where members of a political party select which Party member will stand for them in an election. If non-party or opposition party members are allowed to vote in you Party Primaries it makes a mockery of the entire Primary system. This is what Cochran the cockroach did to win the runoff. This is despicable and he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. pushbuttonchimp Wed, 25 Jun 2014 10:31:28 -0400 "The progressive agenda"... I love this shit. You sound like you're ready to head back to the 1800's. Progress, what this country used to be known for is now a danger to our country. Amazing. The very reason people flock to America -IS- because of being progressive, and tolerant. Inbred intolerance from Conservatives is the real threat to this country. They're slowing the rest of us down. The tyranny of the tiny dick conservative moron minority. Tom Webster Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:50:09 -0400 I think it's interesting that people tend to view the Constitution like they view the Bible. They think the parts they agree with are absolute, universal, and binding on everyone. But the parts they disagree with aren't "what the founding fathers had in mind." Nevertheless, I agree with your implication that we should have term limits on members of Congress. As for Democrats voting in a Republican primary - party "membership" in this country is self-determined, arbitrary, changeable, and a bit imaginary. Why shouldn't anyone be able to vote in any primary they want? Finally, how does any of this relate to John McCain? Tom Webster Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:36:10 -0400 Why would it be "sick" if a Republican primary had some Democrats voting in it? Politics in this country is being promoted like a team sport, and the assumption is that you have to be either for one "side" or the other. The fact is that it's vastly more complicated than that, and we all have to live with whoever gets elected. Contentious elections provide more entertainment and "sell more newspapers" than an orderly meeting of the minds, but they result in gridlock when the elections are over and it's time to get down to business. All primaries should be open. Lobbying should be a criminal offense. Members of Congress should have term limits. But restricting voters along imaginary lines is not a good thing. Boo0 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:23:29 -0400 Thad Cochran will be known as the brain dead puppet of the RNC. I will not support any candidate that they endorse ever. Tom Webster Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:14:54 -0400 I guess you mean "eradicated". Anyway I disagree with most of what you said, but I absolutely agree that we need term limits on members of Congress. Tom Webster Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:03:32 -0400 McDaniel sounds every bit as nasty and self-centered as Ted Cruz. I think Mississippi dodged a bullet on this one. Shane Ladd Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:59:27 -0400 The Rove/Bush/RINO faction wins Mississippi, and Democrats & mainstream media celebrate. Why? They are all on the same page. American Observer Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:58:28 -0400 Playing bullshit games in a place with 300 million firearms at hand trying thwart the will of the people is a dangerous game to play. MiddleOfTheRoadGuy Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:53:04 -0400 The fact that Democrat votes helped Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), proves that he is indeed a R.I.N.O. bill.johnston.5268750 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 04:45:34 -0400 Fully recognize the sarcasm. Unfortunately for the U.S., a Constitutional Amendment is required to install Congressional term limits and guess which branch of Government has to propose and pass that for State ratification ? No way those bozos are going to shoot themselves in their foot. bill.johnston.5268750 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 04:26:56 -0400 Remember Lil' Abner by Al Capp anyone ? Is Cochran's picture actually Sen. Jack S. Phogbound brought to life ? You are a fringe freak Wed, 25 Jun 2014 04:08:18 -0400 If you think Chochran is a liberal or RINO, you are beyond hope mjnellett Wed, 25 Jun 2014 04:05:54 -0400 The progressive agenda in EITHER party is a disease and must be readicated if America is to survive. We, the people MUST put an end to this corrupt political agenda that has already consumed the Democrat Party and is making a serious attempt to do the same to the Republican Party. I hope and pray that Americans get fed up with this corrupt garbage and force trem limits upon politicians to return government to the people. mjnellett Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:56:10 -0400 JOB ! seems to be the destruction of Tea Party candidates, or any anti-establishment candidates of either party. When your political loyalty lies with a particular party, the people of America are ill served. The Republican establishment has shown with this dirty campaign, that their status, power, and agenda are more important than America itself. We need term limits now to stop these "career, party loyalists" from encouraging corruption that has become Washington. D.C. mjnellett Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:49:17 -0400 Haley Barbour is an ugly, white male who was not only the Governor of Mississippi, but the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Nikki Haley is female and the Governor of South Carolina. mjnellett Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:42:36 -0400 It seems that either party is willing to kill their own if it means maintaining the staus quo in the "establishments" line up. Thirty six years as a politician is NOT what our founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution. By the way, how is it that Democrat voters get to vote in a Republican primary? BNy the way Arrizona, if you need any incentive to get rid of John McCain ...this is it!! Fran Perry Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:05:51 -0400 Isn't it awlful funny how Cochran...was a Democrat for a lot of years then turn, Republican, and a lot of the Democrats still were in his favor...doesn't make sense...I do believe he lost his marbles...but, wait till the mid-term elections...they will run was close to really make a call...everything will change in the mid-term elections...but, this character was backed by a lot of Democrats...that is sick.. chelsey.chesapeake Wed, 25 Jun 2014 02:30:33 -0400 The Republican Party is not a political party they are a disease, a cancer on the nation. There is a cure. Vote. scott wood Wed, 25 Jun 2014 02:19:12 -0400 Cochran is a fool and proves how rhinos are nothing but liberal teet suckers! he is a disgrace to conservatives. pig ron lamba Wed, 25 Jun 2014 02:08:09 -0400 " Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour was also a powerful backer of Cochran." someone is misinformed. she was never the governor of mississippi. try SC doing shots again? Wed, 25 Jun 2014 01:07:14 -0400 Teatard punctuation too? McDaniel would have joined the Larry Craig caucus based on that speech. Loose loafers. haywoodmatthews Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:35:44 -0400 Unthinkable win...."has improbably survived a grueling primary challenge" - it's the primary's you fist fuck ! Ragnar Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:35:02 -0400 How classy of the establishment, to pull these stunts just to keep a senile old man in the senate. No doubt his payback will be an amnesty vote, which will do wonders for his state. This proves that Job one had to be to destroy the Republican establishment at all costs and by any means. Lord of the Files Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:27:03 -0400 Why aren't there tern limits for the senate and congress again?
