It was much too brief, but on point.

The Delta does deserve better, however, Marcy isn't the man to make things better...

yup, the delta does deserve better...I think that Mr. Marcy would be well served to investigate just where benny "fat cat" thompson made his millions of $$$$$ and make the facts public. I heard that when he went to washington he was flat broke...

Are they saying Thompson is a millionaire because of corruption or something? The salary of a congressman is over a hundred thousand a year and thompson has been there more than ten years? I would be more disappointed if whomever is elected was not handling his own monies right let alone the taxpayers. I don't agree with evrything thompson says and does but you can't fault the man for benefitting from the position as long as everthing is on the up and up. And besides, Mississippi gets more federal dollars than all the other states. Somebody is doing something right.

So what's with the wedding video at the end of this upload?

Can any of you actually explain why you hate Thompson so much?

10:41, do you know how many of our nation's politicians went to DC as middle class people and returned as millionaires? Hint: Thompson's not the first.
Not that that makes it OK, just making a point. Look at Trent Lott and Thad, too. Guess it's OK for them because they're Republicans.

6:32 - believe you ought to check your facts.

1) Bennie went to DC a millionaire. He was able to parlay his $14k/year salary as mayor, and his $29k/year (later raised to $32k/year) as supervisor, and during his first year in Congress filed a "statement of economic interest" showing a net worth of $1.5M. Guess he had a very good investment advisor (understand Robert Graham is using the same investment concept!)

Trent did go up middle class and came back a millionaire, and is cashing in big since leaving. But don't think that Thad has joined that millionaire club yet.

Yeah, I can respond to the 'why I don't like Bennie' retort: how about sending 14 reasonable, well thought-out emails asking for reasonable answers to my "representative" with nary the 1st form email; response of any kind; nary a damn peep from the man. Further, a Mississippi elected official that refuses to display the State flag in D.C. engenders less than respect from this proud MS voter. That's been my experience - how about yours?

Because Bennie pilfered Hinds County while on the board. Look at the jail. His friends made out like bandits while we pay the price. Then when it hit the fan, he let them off the hook with an easy settlement. He's opposed reasonable national security measures while he chaired the committee on HOmeland Security (search my blog for those votes). He voted against giving immunity to passengers who stopped terrorists on planes. There isn't a spending hike or tax hike he hasn't supported and if he opposed it, its because it wasn't enough for him. Then there is the fact he's a racist. Good luck getting any help from him and his office if you're white. Not going to happen. Most of the corrupt politicians in Hinds County are backed by Benny. They are his boys. Look at Doug and check his relationship. Jimmie Lewis was raised by him.

he's no different than the white good ole boys that ran Hinds 60 years ago. They are all the same. Just different colors and they hate each other. We just get put in the crossfire as they fire at each other, one from the past, one from the present.

I dislike Thompson because of his results and for reasons that are, on a daily basis, more real and apparent and relevant than those given by Kingfish. Who cares now about a jail Benny was associated with or what his position (as a lackey) was on national security?

All one has to do is look at his results in the District in order to form a reasonable opinion of his intent and his (lack of) success. He has not brought the first job to his district in twenty years. He's not collaborated with any industrial development groups in the Delta. He's not alligned himself with the job-providing efforts of any governor. He's concentrated on associations with HBCUs that could result in the naming of chairs and departments in his name and perhaps the naming of a few campus buildings. He's thrown annual fish fries but has never brought a bunch of job-providers together. He has shown himself to be anti-business through his alignment with union efforts in the district.

"he's no different than the white good ole boys that ran Hinds 60 years ago."

Slight difference - the city wasn't a third world cesspool when the white racists ran it.

His district was almost the poorest, least educated, and least healthy district in the US when he was first elected (Starr Country, TX may have been the absolute bottom). After 12 years, it still is. His constituents are too stupid to realize nothing has gotten better for them, although he has made out like a bandit personally.

As that eminent philosopher Charles Barkley has put it: "Black people have been voting for Democrats for 50 years, and they're still poor."

10:14 am...you are right about the make up in "the good old days".. city hall was run like a business and it ran well. the ignorant third world people were shut out...well, the fed's turned that well oiled machine over to a bunch of tards everything came to a grinding halt...how stupid can they be?

Marcy may want to start spelling correctly. It's BECOME not BEOME starting at 0:22.
