BREAKING: Thad Cochran Campaign busted for illegal vote buying operation

[theDoctorisIn]

But then again, it should be wrong for a Democrat to vote for a Republican in a primary, then vote for the Democrat in the general election. That is why my state has a primary for either party. To me, if you register as a Democrat, you vote Democrat unless you wish to change your affiliation before hand, likewise with Republicans. There should be an even playing field for both candidates, with no ability for one party to vote for the other. You are essentially cancelling out the votes of the other party when you are voting in THEIR PRIMARY.

You can create a registry for either party, and work from there. Nothing is impossible to enforce if enough effort and forethought is applied.

I hope you are talking primary races only.

I would oppose any restriction that would allow Me to vote for a Democrat who had better values than the Republican in the race, simply because I was once registered GOP.

I am. I would not extend that to general elections. But a party should be able to choose its own nominees without interference from the other party. The law should reflect that.

You're describing closed primaries - which most states have.

But the Constitution pretty clearly gives control over elections to the states, and Mississippi chose to do it differently.

I am not a leftist...I am a pissed off conservative...pissed at racist nonsense spewed by the Tea Party and its following. I asked the questions because I am simply not going to waste my time trying to prove racism to people who don't believe racism exists. I have posted numerous threads on the topic, proving the Teaper movement is a racist movement. I have pointed out numerous posts by teapers on this very forum that are racist...but your comrades ignored it. I have asked the same questions over and over and you teapers refuse to answer it. So if you guys won't give me the common courtesy of answering a few questions, why should I spend my time trying to prove something that you are going to dismiss whether veritable or not?

You're a ******* moron libturd.

The only people I know who are calling the TEA party racists are imbecile left-wingers like you.

You haven't proved shit nor pointed out shit.

Who do you think you're fooling?

TP IS JUST AN UPDATED BIRCHER PARTY

A new survey by the University of Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality offers fresh insight into the racial attitudes of Tea Party sympathizers. "The data suggests that people who are Tea Party supporters have a higher probability"—25 percent, to be exact—"of being racially resentful than those who are not Tea Party supporters," says Christopher Parker, who directed the study. "The Tea Party is not just about politics and size of government. The data suggests it may also be about race."

So some leftwing hack claims TEA Party members are "racially resentful?" What the heck is that supposed to mean? He couldn't call them racists, so he invents some new term that sounds like racism but isn't. There is nothing more common in this country than Marxist professors who are willing to make-up any study desired to justify the latest left-wing political strategy. I would sooner invest my money with Bernie Madoff than accept any such "study" as credible science.

These results are bolstered by a recent New York Times/CBS News surveyfinding that white Tea Party supporters were more likely to believe that "the Obama administration favors blacks over whites" and that "too much has been made of the problems facing black people."

ROFL! You have to be suffering brain damage not to understand that the Obama Administration favours blacks over whites. Just consider the record of his sleazy attorney general who declined to prosecute some black bat wielding thugs intimidating voters at a polling station in Philidelphia.

I could go on and on, but only the profoundly stupid need further convincing. What the New York Times poll shows is that TEA Party members are smarter than Democrats.

The tea party movement is rife with racists. It’s also, despite assertions to the contrary, a structured movement with direct ties to white nationalist groups that’s growing and here to stay. These are the findings of a 94 page report released last week by The Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, which was backed by the NAACP. The only part that’s shocking is that the report is necessary to establish such plain truths.



The reality is that implicitly white supremacist politics are more ubiquitous now than they’ve been in a generation.

Yup, the Tea Party?s Racist, Study Finds (But It?s Not Alone) - COLORLINES

I wonder why you failed to include this from that laughable study???
Surveyers asked respondents in California and a half dozen battleground states (like Michigan and Ohio) a series of questions that political scientists typically use to measure racial hostility. On each one, Tea Party backers expressed more resentment than the rest of the population, even when controlling for partisanship and ideology. When read the statement that "if blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites," 73 percent of the movement's supporters agreed, while only 33 percent of people who disapproved of the Tea Party agreed. Asked if blacks should work their way up "without special favors," as the Irish, Italians, and other groups did, 88 percent of supporters agreed, compared to 56 percent of opponents. The study revealed that Tea Party enthusiasts were also more likely to have negative opinions of Latinos and immigrants.


...The authors are clear that it would be “a mistake to claim that all tea partiers are nativist vigilantes or racists of one stripe or another, and this report manifestly does not make that claim.” Some, the report says, are just concerned with the deficit and unemployment.

But these two things can’t really be separated.

So you didn't see the link? lol

WHO claimed ALL TP Birchers were racist? Just that a big percentage are driven by it, more by fear, disinformation and LIES from the leaders of it, mainly Beck, Rush, Levine, Faux, etc...

You seem to be saying that a large number of TEA party members are racists. Like NUTZ, you don't have a shred of proof for that claim other than your irrepressible hatred for anyone who defends freedom and the Constitution.

 

[Dad2three]

There we have it.. Some obscure "STUDY" where "SURVEYORS" whoever the **** that entails, called liberally bent states and asked some questions. ROFLMAO


And at the end.. they clarify- The authors are clear that it would be “a mistake to claim that all tea partiers are nativist vigilantes or racists of one stripe or another, and this report manifestly does not make that claim.” Some, the report says, are just concerned with the deficit and unemployment.

Nativist Leaders Involved in the Tea Party

The result of this study contravenes many of the Tea Parties’ self-invented myths, particularly their supposedly sole concentration on budget deficits, taxes and the power of the federal government. Instead, this report found Tea Party ranks to be permeated with concerns about race and national identity and other so-called social issues. In these ranks, an abiding obsession with Barack Obama’s birth certificate is often a stand-in for the belief that the first black president of the United States is not a “real American.”

Tea Parties - Racism, Anti-Semitism and the Militia Impulse


This section of the Special Report compiles opinion polling data, documents significant examples of racist vitriol on the part of Tea Party leaders, shows incidents where well-known anti-Semites and white supremacists have been given a platform by Tea Partiers, and analyzes the attempt by white nationalist organizations to find new recruits in Tea Party ranks.

BREAKING: New Allegations Point to Cochran Campaign in Mississippi Senate Vote Buying Scandal

Red State ^


An audio interview has surfaced in which the interviewee claims that he was to be paid by the Cochran camp to grease voters in the Mississippi GOP Senate runoff election. The audio interview, which coincides with a separate audio recording and batch of evidence produced by the newly launched GotNews.com, a project by Charles C. Johnson, alleges that the Cochran campaign conspired with a Mississippi Reverend to buy the votes of African American voters, who happen to be democrats. Before I get into the weeds of what is in the audio interview and transcript, which are both below, let me...

Team McDaniel: We Have Found 3,300+ Ineligible Votes, Half of Number Needed for Challenge

Breitbart ^

State Sen. Chris McDaniel’s campaign told Breitbart News that the conservative firebrand is already halfway to finding enough allegedly ineligible votes counted to launch a legitimate challenge to the results of last Tuesday’s GOP primary runoff against incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS). With more than half of the state’s counties—and many of the state’s African American-majority counties, where many of the ineligible crossover votes are suspected to have occurred—still uncounted, McDaniel’s team told Breitbart News he has at least 3,300 ineligible votes counted. That 3,300 is, according to the McDaniel campaign, just from looking at voters who voted in the...

Those people are thinking about their future in MS. They really don't want to take a chance that the crazy racist nutjob wins. They'd rather have the less crazy nutjob.

But....libs in general....are all about the GOP nominating racist nutjobs. First, there is a chance that the Dem could win if said nutjob can't control himself and speaks honestly. But even if he does win.....the GOP gets another ******* nutjob for 6 years. There is no way an idiot like McDaniels can escape the spotlight.
