Indeed. They have absolutely no comprehension of the consequences that will follow if they're successful in what they're trying to pull off. Obama is not on the ballot -- Mississippi's credibility is. We're the only state in the nation with people stupid enough to consider voting out our political influence and giving up a chance to add control of the Senate while maintaining control of the House. Unreal.

Good One!! Palin, McDaniel, and others, have convinced their followers they have all the answers. Lots of people aren't happy with government and the governing, but the TP hasn't offered solid alternatives or solutions.

YAWN ... Sssnnnnnooooorrrreeeee ... ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You can't fix stupid.

Thad.

I miss Cliff Finch.

Cochran was a Democrat. Its a historical fact. Travis Childers though currently a Democrat will be an Independent. McDaniel though a Republican will be an Independent. Most Mississippians are currently Independents.1320

A vote for McDaniel will be a vote for Childers and Obama in November.......to be quite honest, I can't support him based on his divisiveness in this election. The TP doesn't need all of us to win in November anyway!! They're invincible.

7:36 I would like to agree with you, but when you have a choice between Obamanites and an alternative, where and when is your "Independent" vote or support going to count??

I am a successful businessman--typically I wud be(and HAVE been)a Thad voter--HOWEVER, the establishment has done no more for middle MS than Bennie for the Delta--we're still blind,deaf,dumb, and poor with no REAL prospects on the horizon---throw ALL the bums out and start over!!!

I agree with @8:44 about the need to throw all the bums out and start over, but I've been around long enough that I want to see other states go first. As with virtually every other tea party position, I find myself generally in agreement on the principle, but shaking my head at their execution.

If McDaniel wins today, we should redesign our license plates with the slogan, "Mississippi: We're too idealistic for our own good" or "Mississippi: We prefer our faces without noses."

Cochran was a Democrat. Its a historical fact.

Also historical fact that William Winter was a segregationist.

One can only hope that after today, for a while at least, we won't have to listen to that raving idiot Adam calling into the various radio programs.

Bullies and name calling do not sway me. Cartoons don't either.

I will always vote my convictions, whether its this election or the next 20 years of elections.

I do not agree with what is happening in DC.

I will not vote for Cochran to return to DC and continue doing the same thing.

Win or loose, I'll be able to look myself in the face and know that I simply did not support all the crap that's happening.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the " Cochran was a Democrat" and " Winter" was a segregationist" remarks.

The GOP was all but nonexistent in MS until 1978. Those who weren't segregationist other that in secret found crosses burned on their lawns!

And, anyone who imagines replacing bums with worst bums is a solution might need, if they have been " a successful" business man is either a " one trick pony" or should worry about Alzheimer's!

I can't believe the stupidity!

Cochran's History or No History...I'll take my chances

8:44 -- your success must not be tied to the written word or appropriate articulation of English. WUD??? Success comes from educating yourself on the BIGGER picture -- you'll lose the Senate for the Republicans by attaching yourself to a candidate who alienates voters in November. Mr. Wiseman stated it best at 9:03. I was also attracted to the ideals of the TP but you lost me with the implementation. Your choice of leaders was poor, and NEVER do I see a post by TP members, that is not angry, vitriolic, and aggressive. Kind of hard to be a party of 3 or 4 (Cruz, Paul, Lee -- none of whom have backed McDaniel) and McDaniel.....and get things accomplished in DC with 96 other Senators.

"We're the only state in the nation with people stupid enough to consider voting out our political influence.."

Yeah, I'd vote against Bennie too. Every time.

I love when someone says, "the guys been there to long." Once your guy stays long enough to have any influence, a new group will come in and say "HEY, YOUR GUY HAS BEEN THERE TO LONG!!!" "Never underestimate the ignorance of the American voter." -Me

So William Winter was a segregationist and campaigned for Governor as a segregationist to avoid having a cross burnt on his lawn.

Interesting.

When annual inflation gets up to 6-8% the Republican Party will have to listen to the Tea Party lectures in their conference again. New Tea Party challengers will be the norm. If Mississippi elects McDaniel, he will have the same leadership position in the US Senate as Thad since he will be in the vanguard. Macro-economics and changing Fed policy will put the Tea Party in power.

The TEA party is absolutely invincible. Just ask Senators Mourdock, Akin, O' Donnell, Akin et al.

@1:03 I don't think you understand how the senate works. This isn't the Supreme Court where the 'new guy" has as much stroke as the old guy. A rookie senator is just that, a rookie. Bottom of the barrel. And if we, (GOP), don't take back power in the senate he will be the rookie in the minority. And where did you get that crap about "changing FED policy." Obviously you don't understand how the FED works or who sets policy. You just proved the commenter above point, "Never underestimate the ignorance of the American voter."

1:25, don['t be a jackass.

Seniority my butt. Whoever raises the most money for their party---that's how committees and chairs are decided. Where have you been for the last 2 years? Dang, the actual price/cost list for both parties has been on the internet for a while. The old ones, who get a cut of each pie, and shake hands in the dark making deals---yea, those are the ones who seem to scream--seniority and don't rock my money boat.

But, oh, Thad's "seniority" can get us MORE debt, MORE pork, MORE voting in line with Harry Reid, MORE weak ass whiney excuses, and MORE appointments when he suddenly gets 'ill' and can't continue the job.

So the Tea Party offers no solutions you say.
Well one thing we'll do is sign our name to anything we post....
You balless RINOS don't have balls to post your name. Just another ease why the Tea Party came in to existence.

Kim,

There is no "Tea" party. The tea party movement was a grass roots effort to show just how out of touch "conservatives" have become with what it means to be conservative. When Republicans became scared of being called an obstructionist or the party of "No" and decided that populism gets them elected, they simply became just another progressive politician.

The tea party movement was meant to unseat those without the ideology that could accurately be labeled as conservative. Instead, the media generated a narrative that idiots like you listened to and it became more about a political party than about the politics that were the basis for the movement.

So what happens to seniority when Thad retires during his term?

if you need a pretty illustrative sample of the typical, grass roots tea party philosophy, go over to a board called "Elite Dawgs". seriously, just google it...

William Winter is a joke

Hey 5:23, don't insult Coach34 and the EliteDawgs crew that way.
