How is food stamps a "small Percentage" southdeltan? Looks like about 75% to me.


Food stamps and nutrition $756 billion
Crop insurance $89.8 billion
Conservation $56 billion
Commodity programs $44.4 billion
Everything else $8.2 billion

Funny how I keep getting emails and such from the Tea Party about how Cochran is liberal on gun control. I checked with the NRA this morning. The NRA has Cochran with an A+ rating on gun control issues. So, the NRA is now liberal spin? This is another reason why I trust virtually NO politicians, do not trust McDaniel as far as I can throw him, and think Ole Goat nailed it on this one. My buddies in Alabama are calling Cochran/McDaniel "the most important election for Alabama in the last 20 years." They are correct.

Got me on that, I thought it was smaller. Either way, they tried to separate the actual farm provisions from the food stamps and were prevented. If you want one, you have to get other.

I don't agree, but McDaniels is against all Federal money period. So if the farm bill had no food stamps in it, he'd still be against it.

He didn't respond to a survey that the Gun Owners of America sent him.

Yea, I saw that. I read somewhere a few days ago that he didn't respond to a survey from one of the gun rights groups.

Most on either side of the argument seem to think Cochran will only stay on another year or so if reelected, correct? If he is reelected, and then retires, what happens to "our" federal money then? Will one more year of it make us or break us in the grand scheme of things?

About 3 in to 1 out, IIRC.

Only folks I hear saying this are McDaniel folks, and my firm is about as plugged in to Republican politics as you can get in MS. I trust nothing I read on blogs and crap on the net.

It is my understanding that yes we receive three times more than we pay. If that is true and if McDaniel had his way our state would turn into a third world country. Better stock up on ammo and find a safe place to stay. Better learn how to plow a mule and grow your own crops. If we cut federal spending like the tea party wants then we will first have armageddon and civil war. Then the survivors will be back to living the way folks lived after the great depression. Picture the walking dead but replace the zombies with democrats.

Where did you hear this nonsense? He's against Wasteful federal money. He's for federal dollars being used for what the founders intended them
to be used for, infrastructure and defense. I'm pretty sure he supports a large amount of the farm bill. Might want to do a little more research on McDaniel.

Either way, someone else said it best, not much is going to change when McDaniel's gets in there, but at least there is a slim chance he could speak
loud enough to make a little bit of a difference. With Cochran, there is 0 chance he will speak at all.

Also, someone mentioned the NRA deal. Cochran's pac just got a huge influx of money from Bloomberg's anti gun group. Read into it what you want, but
I'm sure that the Anti-gun lobby doesn't want McDaniel to get elected and will be comfortable with Cochran since he's a lobbyist puppet anyway.

Guys there are some evil evil powers at work in this thing. It's very sad for our state.

Wrong, the leaches will find a way to move to where the money is. Most likely Chicago since a huge number of them make that monthly trip up there anyway.
