re: McDaniel grasping at straws, fabricating stats.

Childers is a good man. I don't know him but friends of mine do.
But just like McDaniel, he won't be chairman of appropriations if GOP Takes the senate.
Idealogically we agree. But just not now.

I voted 10 times for Cochran.
There, I said it.

*^^^^^^^^**** this. I really wanted to but couldn't.
ETA- McDanial is committing political suicide right now. Outside of jones county.
ETA CAme up way to late in the order of posts. Meant that I agree with most of McDaniel's stated positions but want a shot at appropriations chair.

I find it funny that people bemoan pork as being the cause of our deficit when the numbers certainly suggest otherwise.
The "pork" isn't the problem. But it is a symptom of the problem. Lobbyists getting their companies special treatment. Giveaways to multinationals. Special treatment for big money donors. Creating policy and legislation based upon the needs of the elite. Those are all tied together with the same twine with pork barrel spending.

Then you don't really agree with McDaniel's positions. You're a situational fiscal conservative.

No. I am really a strict constructionilist but I don't believe that Chris is. Thus my vote for hopefully appropriations chair. What I saw here on the coast from tha ads had nothing to do with theory.
From Chris. Cochran was same old know what you have.

What you true believers on both sides are missing here is there were lots of us not really in either camp. I voted for McDaniel but was split 55-45 or so on my decision. If Thad had won without Barbours bullshite I would have voted down the line come nov. I will never vote for anyone involved with encouraging crossover voting in a runoff. That is a dirty underhanded method of rigging an election in my own opinion. I am not arguing the positions or competance of either man. The rep. party had no business overriding the wishes of the republican voters. Couple this with the man not even planning to serve his term and I and most people I talk to are really unhappy with our state rep. party.

Serously? We build ships and have military bases here. Appropriations committee could be huge.
ETA - all politics local. Ingalls delivered a bunch for Cochran.

So, if any of you ever ran for office and thought there was illegal voting causing you to lose, you wouldn't fight to find out?
Remember, there are lots of family and friends and volunteers who gave a lot. They deserve the truth. He is forced to fight for honesty and a system that is corruption free. He ran his campaign on that "getting away from bad politics".
He, his people, the voters, and all of us Americans deserve the truth.
At minimum, it will shine light on this and stop it from happening elsewhere.
Also, if they are both honest men, wouldn't they BOTH want the truth?

I don't think it would get to that. The fact that many Democrats voted does not make it illegal if they in fact would prefer Thad over Chris. That is their right; regardless of their intentions for November.

This is a serious question for the people who love to brag about what Thad has done for Ingalls and all that. Isn't the plant half the size that it was when Thad took office all those years ago? You'd think that government pipeline would allow them to hire more people not fire half their people. Serious question.
If they quit depending on government handouts and just built ships that businesses are actually buying I bet they would start growing again.

Ingalls would be gone if not for Cochran. The northeasterners wanted it all at Bath in Maine.

I didn't understand a word you said, Thad's old shriveled cock is slurring your words.
You need to be put in a home. You and your entitled generation have already done enough to hurt this country, and I'm tired of supporting you old senile leaches.

Do you really believe that these democratic voters got out and voted because they "preferred" Cochran over McDaniel?
That's bullshite and you know it.
You can defend why you think Cochran is a better choice for Mississippi, whether it's appropriations or catfish or Ingalls or whatever... But don't insult the intelligence of knowledgeable and informed Mississippians by pretending that the increase in Democratic votes during the Republican run-off was anything but a coordinated political hi-jacking of an election with national implications.
And if you really do believe the same folks that voted for Chokwe Lumumba came out in droves to vote for Thad Cochran because they like his political positions...then I've got some real-estate in Jones County you may be interested in.

Leave the old man alone. He doesn't know what he wants, other than entitlements and what grandpappy Thad tells him he wants.
It's weird how these guys are defending grandpappy Thad just like liberals defend Obozo. I guess when you're getting your welfare you'll defend a politician with your life.

I like the things McDaniel said he stood for. But I don't believe he actually stood for them. And don't believe he had the ability to get any of it remotely accomplished. He was a lightweight in the MS Senate who did nothing that he said he stood for, showed no leadership, and never got anything accomplished.
Face it, he saw a personal opportunity. A vulnerable candidate that was running, and all the quality candidates were on the sidelines out of respect. There would never again be an opportunity like this for a candidate this weak. Say the right things to the fiscal conservatives, and combine then with the folks who like to talk about heritage (cough, cough) and you've got a solid base.
Even if you can't stand Thad, 6 years of him is way better that 30 of lightweight McDaniel.
