So.. MS has been flooded for entire GOP senatorial race. I love it.

NOTE: I voted for McDaniel

Even I thought that McDaniel had no chance to win, but he did get the majority of the vote (they are now in a run off).

So why the fuss? Heres the "REAL deal":
Thad is 71 years and basically is wore out. he did not want to run. But the lobbyist OWN HIM. If he leaves the lobbyists ( esp H. Barbour) louse their clout and that means MONEY. So their plan get Thad to run ( and win) and then he can retire. When he does Barbour will tell the current governor who to choose to replace him for the remaining 6 years. It will be a Barbour bought and paid crooney. That insures Barbours power and money for another six years... in ensure HE gets to pick the next senator!

Now the Washington GOP types ( not Barbour) are concerned .. Thad did NOT trounce this upstart TEA-bagger. Which means IF Chris does win... he may not play ball as nicely as they want, afterall they did not back him, and made sure everyone knew they did not want him. OOPS.

But the DEMs are excited as well!!! So if Thad does loose... then it does open the door to a DEMOCRAT victory for senator. GAWD more washington ADs from PACs and groups no-one in MS knows about or cares about.. and you can be sure not one of them gives a darn about MS.. they just want that seat.

So what says Pine... the super conservative anti-any party voter. I say better the liberal democrat than the owned pretender repub.. but hoping that Chris McDaniel can in fact .. pull a rabbit out of this hat.

Hold on for a bumpy ride!  

Koch bros., just bought your state...

It is MY state.. and its either Koch brothers or Haley Barbour as "buying" it.. it is not acceptable to pretend it was not already bought.

However... there is another three weeks.. and the dems smell blood.

MS State senate seat for sale... next bidder!!

PS: I do know MS politics.. and the dirt and scumbag antics are NOTHING compared to the real things that go on. I have suffered some of it personally.

Just saying....

Which was in response to funding from another super-pac supporting the incumbent. You think kochs are any different than a dozen other liberal doners?

The funny part is how all of a sudden you guys got a memo last year and the kochs became the only guys using their own money. Every hear of George Soros? Please......   Msnbc has told you when in doubt, throw out "Koch brothers" and flash a photo of the two old guys in Trading Places!

Just like the Citizens United case, gripe and complain, but just like the Kochs who counteract established Republicans, all that decision did was to counteract unions who enjoy federal protection for their racket.

There is a difference...
The time to be suspicious of billionaires influencing policy,... is when every policy they influence is to the benefit of the 1%, and to the detriment of everyone else...
Privatize SSI, privatize public schools, cut welfare, no minimum wage, no healthcare... pull every safety net out from under us... and it's all good for billionaires.  They'll never suffer....
Meanwhile,...  the vast majority of bankruptcies are related to health issues...
Billionaires will never have that problem...

When billionaires are putting money out to a party that would help poor and middle class folk, and not benefit billionaires,... I don't need to question their motives...

How foolish are you,.. if you are defender of billionaires at the expense of working people?...
Koch money, supports Koch interests and policies that benefit Koch...
... and they've given you the talking points to defend them...
It's their hand you feel up yer' arse...  controlling your mouth...
You are billionaires hand puppet... ...
