[quote="foxtrot"]Considering who frequents this board, if you had to choose aligning with either:
Ted Cruz/Mike Lee or John McCain/Mitch McConnell which would you choose?
Therein lies what is going on with the MS Senate race.
Furthermore, if the big draw of voting for Cochran is having him head the Senate Appropriations Committee and given his demeanor through this primary race of being VERY "limp wristed," can you imagine how negotiating will go in the Senate chambers? Yes, Cochran deserves respect and his seniority justifies his leadership role but for every dollar he brings in to MS, I would highly suspect there will be major dollars flowing to pork projects for other senators on both sides of the aisle. There is no taking without giving in politics and the whole thought of having these 70-80yr old fixtures spending tax dollars just like they always have for the last 3 decades fixes nothing for a broken country. Teaching an old dog a new trick won't happen... Does this scenario of Thad in office now get you motivated and excited about the future of our children, grandchildren, country???
Cochran won overwhelmingly in the Delta, metro Jackson, and the coast. What do all three of these areas have in common?
Delta farmers- Everyone's tax dollars flowing to big plantation owners in the form of all farm welfare programs through the farm bill.
Metro Jackson- Everyone's tax dollars flowing to state govt. contract work and "back scratching" political paybacks.
Coast- Everyone's tax dollars flowing to the shipyards for military contracts.
Furthermore, when I hear Democrats being interviewed, their venom spews towards the Tea Party first and like no other. Shouldn't that alone help able-minded, self-reliant, conservative tax payers see the forest through the trees.[/quote]
